The SIZE of this LEAF. This is what happens when you plunk a #monstera into a #fishtank and forget about it.

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Not the best photo, but it's the best I've been able to capture of the little #leucistic #sparrow who sometimes visits. He needs a name... #bird

Three migrants sent to Guantánamo said they were denied calls to loved ones, subjected to humiliating strip searches and left in isolation for prolonged periods.

These #wizards keep magical #snails which they must consult for navigational assistance whenever they travel... but they must ask them very politely. #art #sketch #coloredpencil

I'm thinking I really want to set up my tripod and start recording video of me doing #art, and maybe livestream it. I still need to figure out what to start posting on my #Patreon. What do people want to see that I don't already post? I could probably do #NSFW stuff, or more #making-of things.

I'm still working on finding this. Engaging on social media is tricky, though. Do I just like... scream into the void, "Hey! People! Come join my art squad!"? If so: Hey. People. Come join my #artsquad.

BEHOLD THE CHOSEN ONE IT IS AS THE PROPHECY HAS FORETOLD *..::PRAISE HIM::..* #ART #SKETCH #COLOREDPENCIL #SNAIL #ALLCAPS

"The label on this pencil says it's sky blue but clearly this is CERULEAN." - a thought I caught myself thinking with my own two brain cells a minute ago

"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

oooooh this is super handy!! yessss

I really need to quit messing around and get back to oil painting or at least putter around with acrylics. Pencils are great, but I keep grumbling at them and bitching about them not bring paint.

A #sketch from a couple days ago. More #coloredpencil stuff. #art

A #portrait #sketch for the day... I might do more with the background later, I dunno. #art #coloredpencils

Today's little #sketch is still using the pencils I can't stand, but I had to do some #art so I didn't implode.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

He nails it.

Disinformation (i.e. “flooding the zone with shit”) is a greater suppression of free speech than censorship. Instead of preventing speech you are just ensuring it won’t be heard.

I'm bored. I want to read some #tarot. Anybody want a free reading? (Today only. Probably.)

Tried out some new #coloredpencils with this #sketch today, and I might redo the whole thing; the new pencils just weren't giving me what I wanted. Had to pretty much grind them all down to nubs to get the color to go over evenly. #art #sketchbook

This is about as finished as this one's going to get until I get better #coloredpencils. Also, they are staring at me and it's making me uncomfortable. #art #cursed #cursedart #sketchbook

I hoped, based on reviews, that I'd found some cheaper #coloredpencils that would rival Prismacolor pencils, but Kalour ain't it. Some art mediums you can skimp on, but it looks like colored pencils dont let you get away with as much.

I switched up to a bigger #sketchbook with better paper, but I think it's #cursed.

Today's #sketchbook update: a #coloredpencil #doodle of a couple #OCs chilling in their #yurt. I wanted to play with poses, and I can't be the only one who sometimes pretzels themselves for no reason sometimes when I'm bored... #art

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Get you somebody who looks at you the way my #dog Saga does when I'm eating dinner #roughcollie

Quick #tarot reading: Temperance is saying we need to pick our battles, but sticking together and cherishing our loved ones will get us through this. More details in comments...
