"That was my middle name in high school" - @tomthinks.bsky.social after someone said "congealy"

Is anyone else plagued by the little velvet bags that devices come with? I can’t throw them away, but I also can’t find a way to use them! I have bags full of them. I hate them.

It happened again. youtu.be/9IOQJOnhbko?...

I’ve been doing some new portraits where I let myself go nuts around the subject.

Thank goodness for the “CHILD” setting on microwaves. I hate it when my children are still frozen in the middle.

Honored to have a @tomthinks.bsky.social original dog head (of my dog's head) on my wall. Thanks brother ❤️

GOOD BOY GRAFFITI opening was so fun, but if you are a Seattle person and missed it, come to the CLOSING PARTY! Friday, April 25 6-10pm at The Factory on Capitol Hill! Also, visit The Factory's website for info about art sizing and pricing! www.factoryseattle.com/goodboygraff...

I don't go on twitter no more, but I still get email notifications about all the bot spam convos I've been added to. So gross.

Thanks to all the Seattle peeps that came out to my first solo art show!! Good Boy Graffiti! We will have a closing show in a few weeks as well, so stay tuned!

Area man arrested for making too much art. He has been sentenced to The Factory for Good Boy Graffiti opening April 10th, 6-10pm at 1216 10th Ave, Seattle, and all of Seattle is requested to witness this sentencing. This guy is scary! Put him away!

Seattle! I’m showing over 30 new plywood cutout paintings at The Factory in Seattle this week! April 10th 6-10pm (Capitol Hill Artwalk). My show is called Good Boy Graffiti, because I have been using this medium as a way to share my art on the street without damaging property. This will be fun!

I'm gonna do my best to remember that I'm feeling more sensitive today, and be patient and kind to myself. I made myself a decorated sticky note with a quote from @tomthinks.bsky.social to remind myself to Keep Nice!

I have a special thing where I log into my MSN email address from 25 years ago who's storage is 95% full, and I meticulously find keywords by spammers to efficiently search and delete large swaths of emails--slowly restoring the storage. It makes me feel like I'm Mark S in Severance.

I got impatient and put a cat art on a dead sign in my city. And April 10th I’m showing similar works at The Factory during Capitol Hill Artwalk in Seattle, so come check out my work 6-10pm. It’ll be fun. I’m hoping to have 40 pieces up.

I put a little Victor the cat into the world today.

If you wondered what 16 year old boys were doin' in summer 2002, I just uploaded this gem "I'm Thirsty" to YouTube. The original video used Weezer's song "Possibilities" and I didn't want a copyright issue, so I recorded a crappy cover of it today to go as the audio! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e52S...

Proud cat daddy. Epic stair barf, Reuben!

Every time Trump gets elected they do away with a social media video platform and a beloved groundbreaking artist named David passes away. #ripvine #riptiktok #ripdavidbowie #ripdavidlynch

In 1999, I found a program called Flash 4 and I have not stopped working with Flash since. I'm in the process of uploading some of the earliest ones to youtube. What do you think of this Windows XP layout? haha www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz9Y...

I wondered if I had anxiety, and then I remembered that I worry about peeing while the toilet is refilling after a flush.

Rad. Thanks nobody.

Hello. I'm Tom. I don't know a lot about making food, but I'm going to stumble my way through making dinner tonight at 6:30pm on youtube.com/cartoonmesslive/live. This show is called FOOD IDIOT, and this is a pilot test stream! Come help me. Also streams on twitch.tv/tomthinks

Happy Grandma-in-your-mouth y’all.

wanched football but team lost so dawnt watch anmore.

I’ve been making lots of wood art. My portrait work preciously has been really smell and delicate, so working with tough plywood and house paint has been very liberating. I feel like my little drawings are getting a new bolder life.
