- The view outside my studio window right now. It’s so distracting! I just want to be out in my garden working. #home #garden #roses
- If kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help? “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee.”
- qrp with starry art ･ ｡ ☆∴｡ * ･ﾟ*｡★･ ･ *ﾟ｡ * ･ ﾟ*｡･ﾟ★｡ ☆ﾟ･｡°*. ﾟ * ﾟ｡·*･｡ ﾟ*
- I have a pair of these. They’re easy wearing and get compliments from fellow weirdos! Support small creators. Your money means more to them.
- My support sites are linked in my profile. If you like Chrono Trigger I'm continuing my series of fanart to have some prints available for later this year. Your support allows me to continue fun projects like this. If I can get enough consistent income, I can resume my comic Ninja Monkey! #patreon
- Unintentionally flushed this beauty while I was sweeping outside this morning. As pretty as any flower! And so enchantingly fuzzy just inside the wings. I carefully scooped it with a leaf and placed it in a cool, covered place. #moth #tigermoth #bugsky
- Why the hell aren’t Dems immediately jumping on this whole tarriffs = less dolls thing with the Right’s tried and true old fallback of THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS!!! I swear to my ever lovin Jesus they suck so bad at marketing. We need a big Revenge of the Nerds movement— or at least Dems with riiizzz 😩
- Might be a good year to start a community garden or a garden of your own (freedom garden style). We’re in for some pandemic-era disruptions in our food supplies between deportations and tarriffs. Nothing’s getting planted. We won’t be able to import cheap. Guys it was so worth it for low prices 👌
- Kaiser turned 10 today! We took him to the park with family and them to Shake Shack for a pup cup and biscuit. He was mighty pleased! #kaiserthecorgi #dogsofbluesky #corgsky #happybirthday
- If you’re in the Lee’s Summit, MO vicinity, check in with Dan who is conducting a Star Wars Unlimited demo! My own @nockergeek.bsky.social will be geeking it up there as well. #supportlocal #gamestore #comicshop #lsmo #kcmo #bluespringsmo #independencemo
- Read the thread and spread THIS example. Accentuate the positive. Don’t sensationalize the negative.
- Free Comic Book Day was kind of quiet this year. Still, we saw familiar faces and some new ones. The lad who requested Spider Kirby from me last year came prepared this year (he was kind of shy and hesitant last). “GOKU KIRBY!” he blurted. “Super Saiyan?” I asked. He replied “yes” so quickly lol.
- Remove a letter, ruin a movie. True Git
- Even in the midst of all of humanity’s ugliness, there is beauty and hope. Don’t become numb. We know there is a better way for all of us, not just the fortunate few. #rainbow #promise #hope #together
- FCBD is this weekend! I'll be at Pulp Fiction Comics and Games doing free sketch requests for the kiddos! If you're in the Kansas City area, stop on by, say hi, and remember to grab some free comics. Are there any you're looking forward to this year? #freecomicbookday #comicbookstore #kcmo #free
- My child often reports to me in their college cybersecurity course how much the professor uses ChatGPT to instruct the class in real time and encourages it for generating code or answering logistics questions. This should be a major concern to us all. #chatgpt #fuckai #llm #ourfuture #flushingtoilet
- Work and dedication are elitist in the eyes of those who just want to coast by. LLMs are enabling so many slothful smoothbrains and there are investors on the sidelines just frothing while waiting to milk those foolish cattle. #fuckai #llms #chatgpt #techbros
- Imagine if people could have predicted how absolutely terrible a president DJT is/was/will be. If only they had a way of knowing... Also, I'm so jealous of Canada. Good on you guys learning from the mistakes of others. That shows intellectual and emotional intelligence something Murica scoffs at.
- It's so easy to do nothing! You don't need these companies. They need you. Walk away. Don't look back. When we are all renting our online real estate, we are nothing but digital nomads.
- Shower thoughts: If govt regulations are being suspended/reduced on raw milk, perhaps corporate farms should get off the govt teat since “onerous production costs” like public health impede profits. Midwesterner take; it seems the real welfare queens are corporations. #rfkjr #dairy #corporatefarms
- The little jumping spider that shared my workspace last year is patrolling around my desk today. We both enjoy watching each other work. I wish I could convince her to eat the mites on my lemon trees 😖 I think the ants keep chasing her off. #spider #jumpingspider
