Accidental character name of the day: Cherry Hedgerow (I suspect this is a small woodland creature in a petticoat, a waistcoat or both.) (Though I kind ofhope it's an huge hulking muscular sorting Something)

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

The evening's entertainment included earnestly explaining to the dog that, despite her big beautiful eyes & vacant expression, she does not, alas, qualify as an Amine Girl. This by virtue of her shih tzu & pomeranian ancestry, which gave her itty bitty legs & a mouth the size of a hotel waffle iron.

Accidental Mobster Name of the Day: Chunky Petals - "I'm Bud Manzo and dis is my my associate, Chunky Petals. Mr Floraletti sent us make sure youse wasn't thinkin' of pollen outta the deal..." ~ (Possibly these are Pixie Mobsters)

Rough commute. #rainbow #sketch on gray paper Not very refined but I enjoyed the vibes

The world would be much more beautiful if average, everyday people could afford beautiful, handcrafted things.

lasso paint, this time from reference

Playing a homebrew D&D game, and I've been illustrating some of the loot and artifacts. I'm not a very skilled digital artist, so this is a good excuse to practice! This cube is based on 19th cent. reliquary jewelry boxes. #DnD #GIMP #DungeonsAndDragons #DigitalArt #ArtYear #crystal #Art

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

I'm finally getting into the habit of streaming an active soundtrack during the discord TTRPG i run -- switching nature ambience throughout the session and then also playing spooky ambient music. It's probably nice for the players but it really helps ME get into the role

Besieged! Postcard from my collection, unsent, photo copyright 1902.

How Do They Rise Up It's not the Glorious 25th of May, but my lilacs are blooming. And sometimes you have to wear the lilac. Because of reasons. #TerryPratchett #Discworld #Nightwatch #Lilac #ArtYear #PolymerClay #GNUSTP #Handmade #Resist #Vimes

RFK Jr. #autism #rant was just a big mixup- He was extrapolating from a study by Barnes & Barnes, which concluded: *They can't play baseball *They don't wear sweaters *They're not good dancers *They don't play drums Unfortunately, the original subjects were *not* Autistic, so his data was skewed

When we're allowed science again, I propose a collaboration between the Arts People and all the STEM People. By our powers combined, we can find a cure for our common enemy- SSCHCULAP (Spending Six Consecutive Hours Curled Up Like A Prawn) 🦐 #Artist #StretchBreak #BackPain

Vinyl records. The pressing plates for my record (and LOTS of others) were made in the Czech Republic...

Bonus #brown drawing for #AColorADaypril! We always called this sweetshrub but also known I believe as Carolina allspice and a little bonus brown butterfly!

Mood of the Day: "What if sadness? But, like, itchy.. ?"

Today's "Old Man Yells At Cloud" moment: F* anybody (especially corporations) that used AI for April Fool's day jokes. Back in My day if we wanted to make a prank sushi Sundae, we had to slave for hours over a hot keyboard to do the photoshop Or REALLY muscle up and cook an abomination WEAK.

This peony is the biggest flower in this painting and finishing it means I’ve covered 50% of this piece! Yay!🩷 This’ll be my last update for now as I prep for April shows! #watercolor #botanical #painting #artist #art #flowers #watercolorist #florals #wip

A very rough and ready study as a warmup for some upcoming miniatures

What RFK has done just this week to NOT support vaccines: -fired FDA's top vaccine scientist -buried CDC's measles forecast -shut down agency that runs the NATIONAL VACCINE PROGRAM (OIDP) -Hired anti-vaxxer to probe phony autism/vax links -Made Texas kids sick with his vitamin A measles 'cure'

Dear all foreign friends outside the United States, Our country is big. Like really big. Like so much bigger than you ken. Our states are bigger than many countries, and there's 50 of them. So when you wonder why we are not all marching on DC I live 2,500 miles (4000 km) from the White House
