The Tesla Cherry Protest is over 300 strong! Way to show up South Jersey! #teslatakedown #protest

Oh no, someone spying on my emails might find out I'm ordering laundry detergent...?

Here's my poster for this week's new episode of Severance, "Attila". #Severance

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Reposting with alt text: I did this just now and it worked.

My dad and my niece saw Wawa Luigi when they went in the store the other day and bought him for me. 😭❤️

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

ONE MORE WEEK!! Can we make it to 600??

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

This is one of my favorite plushes in my collection, and also probably one of the rarest. This is an El Rappy plush from Phantasy Star Online, released in Japan by Cospa in early 2003. I did a little write-up about this set on my site here: collection.rainknight.net/2025/02/16/c...

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

Happy Presidents' Day from The Ghost of Abrajam Lincoln, an actual character concept from the unproduced N64 horror-themed basketball game Monster Dunk by Mindscape archive.gamehistory.org/item/54f8254...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Anyway, I'm still taking suggestions for my next plush photoshoot if anyone has any particular character, plush, or set they'd like to see represented, provided I have it.

Back to working on the plushie site today, because that seems to be the best thing to distract me to keep me from losing my goddamn mind with everything that's happening right now.

Still sick, but at least I'm sick in my cozy Vulpix jammies.

This was definitely the highlight of my night. ❤️

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Here’s my weekly retro poster for the newest episode of Severance “Trojan’s Horse”, written by Megan Ritchie and directed by Sam Donovan. #Severance

I'm not sure why Peter Mount chose Valentine's Day to upload 2,000 arcade game manuals but here we are. archive.org/details/@pet...

As of January 1st, my Adderall prescription is now up to $160 a month. This is the cost after insurance. I also have to pay an additional $65 a month to see my doctor (an in-person monthly doctor's appointment required) to get the prescription renewed.
