Monthly reminder to Glaze and Nightshade your work if you're posting it online. I know it's a pain and you kinda just wanna upload and be done. But the world is cruel and too many freaks and thieves still want unfettered access to your drawing style. Take the time to Defend your shit.

I love my corgis, but I have to admit that after--gracious, in two weeks it'll be exactly fifteen years--of being constantly judged and sassed for it, it's very restful to have one dog in the house with a heart full of love and a head full of floof.

Build up a supportive, close community of fellow writers! This is the best way to discover who to kill and eat so you can gain their precious, valuable writerly powers. You'll be leveling up in no time!

Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A woman (50s?) in a denim jacket and hiking boots is sitting at a public piano, a far away look on her face as she plays the theme from the movie Amélie. A backpack and walking poles at her side. People chilling nearby, soaking up the atmosphere. (1)

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

My stepmother gave me some money for my birthday, so I bought myself a book I’d been debating whether to get for actual years. Now I’m wondering how I ever did without it

Ah, cats. Is Sugar in the midst of an existential crisis, or is Sugar staring at that one carpet fiber that is just *wrong*?

One of the things I've been working on this week is a set of maps of ancient greek cites, for a role playing game set in the post-Trojan war period. That's been a bit different for me, but lots of fun. Here's one of them.

Three hours later, all of my best units dead in round 1 (highly skilled assassins in magic armour killed by normal, mortal dogs), and I was able to pull it back to a hard fought draw thanks to one die roll. It was such a fucking good time. #tabletopsky #trenchcrusade #wargame #wargaming

Some highlights from this week A quartet of 1/12 scale wood axes in various styles. Polymer clay Larry Bowlcut, my leading NPC in the DND game I run occasionally A little die for making tiny cup hilts A pair of tiny cup hilt rapiers, in 1/12 scale! Hope everyone has a great weekend #Miniatures

Long thread. If you are on BlueSky to hear interesting accounts from experts this might be your morning read

When people want to talk to me about the backlash against US higher ed but don't want to mention racism, this is one of the key reasons I become very annoyed (Also the data used to create this post had its contract canceled this month so are won't be able to track things like this in the future)

The Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess was the largest all-metal flying boat to ever have been built. In the 1950s, the U.S. Navy considered buying the three existing aircraft and converting them to nuclear power but the plan was abandoned. #FunFactFriday

I get that we’re all interested in seeing the negative in the DOGE Bros, but my grandfather fought at Iwo Jima. Doesn’t make me a sharpshooter for the Marines. In fact, it’s pretty much irrelevant to my merits or liabilities.

Just started reading More Than Words, by @biblioracle.bsky.social This book is delightful!
