Trundling along, doing my own thing, probably drinking tea. Not to everyone's tastes, and that's fine by me. Art, crafts, plants... & random. Mostly Harmless. https://ko-fi.com/monkey_viper_penguin

MBFC's Daily Vetted Fact Checks for 01/22/2025

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Another old one. Have to say Betta fish are beautiful and fun to draw. ...Is it art!? That's for the viewer to decide. Enjoy the weekend, whatever you get up to!

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. (( Don't copy/paste Bracketed: Though I am a humanist artist, there's no need to follow me at all. I'm just passing it on because I felt like it - Please go and check out the previous artists Ta! ))

Decentralized media is the future—don’t just take my word for it, even @mcuban.bsky.social sees the shift. Real connections, no middlemen, and your data stays yours.

May seem like I am not active because I don't post as often as others, but I'm just dealing with life stuff and ongoing health issues (like many folk have to). No sympathy required - Others out there need it more than I, and I'd rather some humour. Anyway... Be safe, have fun, stay creative.

Word of the day is ‘depooperit’, from 18th-century Scots: ‘enfeebled both mentally and physically’.

Practice artwork from a few years ago... I could probably do better, but I quite like that it kind of seems to be looking on disapprovingly. Portrait of a Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) Watercolour on A4 220gsm cartridge paper

Hello, I got you this lizard. (Little white whiptail, Aspidoscelis gypsi, for all my fellow nerds)

I'd rather be corrected than believe a lie.

Word of the day is ‘pavonise’ (19th century): to strut about like a peacock, all puffed up with conceit.

Bill Hicks (1961-1994)...

Kalanchoe buds and that first bloom. ...I do like how they look close up in pictures. Almost makes me forget how small the flowers are.
