i do love the live #watercolor brushes on #adobefresco. i've played with keeping it all on one layer, but i still have undo and snap to shape that makes pretty pictures that would just look muddy and wonky with irl paints. i still want to try, though. more irl. i just really love clouds

I honestly think it would be hilarious if there was one family on White Lotus that was having just the best time, like we get two miserable storylines and then occasionally cut to this family going “We saw three dolphins!”

it hurts to recall the #doge weather site that i delighted in so long ago. it would have that cute little shiba inu dressed appropriately and words popping up like "such chilly" "so snowing" and "wow" and now it's an abomination ransacking the government coffers. Such horrible. so disturb. wow.

@milesofgray.bsky.social i've been automatically saying "footnotes" whether or not any guest cohost says it and it was so wonderful to hear you again! like a little "tear in my eye" level. i didn't realize how much this ritual -and you obvs- meant. #zeitgang #4E

I say "footnotes!" after @milesofgray.bsky.social does on TDZ and i've been yelling it extra fervently since he's been away. i also have to reply "Bye!" at the end after the hosts and guests say bye. only @jackob1.bsky.social said it today and i feel a little bereft? #zeitgang #parasocial

i love how this song starts-the horns immediately demand your full attention. Then the rest of the instruments hold off one bar longer than any common western 4/4 song would before attacking full force, knocking you into the apex of dance fury! youtu.be/5tGjKHRwqYI?...

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

oh no not Robert Evans @iwriteok.bsky.social calling out my Solar punk based solace as useless fantasies! Yet the subsequent examples of action- eye exams for the unhoused, desert water drops and stop cop city protests--are also part of Solar Punk ethos, so it's ok. omny.fm/shows/it-cou...

@edzitron.com it has been suggested to x/twitter xitter (shitter). i guess in english it could be zitter, but in mandarin x is pronounced sh. maybe it's too laborious for most english speakers but it's pretty easy to just call it shitter since that's what it's gone down 😏
