And they wonder why we hit the ejector seat for Bluesky

Feeling sad about the news about @rexthetvterrier.bsky.social I lost my own good boy almost six years ago. Here is what he looked like. He sometimes got up to trouble. But in the end, he was a very good boy.

Gotta know when to cut your losses sometimes. Starting this painting over and hoping for better next round.

I'm not super deep into anime, but I love love love Teasing Master Takagi-san. So pure hearted! Followed closely by Komi Can't Communicate. Can you tell I don't pursue high stakes in my media? I have enough stress in real life πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜­

It's a fine line to walk, watching other artists enough to be inspired but not so much that you are consumed by the certainty you will never be that good.

I spent 15 years as a librarian. I can't emphasize enough the damage it did to me. If you care about freedom to read, don't just decry the book burners. Advocate for better librarian pay and protection from harassment. Kind words aren't enough.

I have a very specific set of skills... I *will* find your doggo pics. And I *will* like them.

What do they sell at places like Best Buy anymore? Like, refrigerators or something? 20 years ago we went there for CDs, DVDs, games, etc. I haven't been inside one in forever, but I'm getting their black friday ads like clockwork.

Today my son (14, autistic) broke down after a friend told him another one of his friends had died. My son was distraught for the afternoon while we desperately tried to contact this friend. Turns out it was a "joke." I'm angry about it... teach your kids not to joke about death, plz. Ain't funny.

I don’t want to speak for anyone else but I’m *pretty* sure that people abusing fentanyl understand that it’s bad for them.

This gave me vertigo just sitting in my living room

@bsky.app is delightful. Just like Twitter, but without the lava moat and cesspool

I have mixed feelings about Thanksgiving. Mostly because it overshadows my birthday most of the time. Boo! But this one has been enjoyable. First one in our new house. Hoping the first of many.

Happy Thanksgiving from Chicago
