Nice argument. Unfortunately I have already depicted myself as the smug and confident diplodocus and you the naive parasaurolophus.

Went to look at adoptable cats today, one of them was a tiny orange and white kitten just like Graham was 17 years ago and it really stung. Getting to hold him felt nice, though. Didn't go home with any, I think I need to wait more.

I am writing down the many nicknames I had for my cat, but "Orange White and the Seven Barves" is my favorite. He gained it after he threw up 7 times in one morning and we had to find each individual barf.

Been playing this cute JP-only SNES game and keep imagining what a 1998 English release of it would be. The GamePro ad: in BEAKER'S BREAKOUT You're a FREAK OF NATURE escaping from the ILLEGAL SCIENCE LAB that created you. ABSORB the ACCELERGELS and INJECT them into blocks to defeat DR.ERLENMEYER!

We had to put our 17 year old cat down today and I feel like a part of me died with him. I'm being crushed by the grief. I loved this rude little man so much. He got cuddlier the older he got, which for any of you that knew him might surprise you. I love you, Graham. What an awful year this is...

Actually the most excited to see someone running for office than I've ever been on this one. Count me in for a monthly dono, Kat!

🚨Calling all WA-based transit trekkers and advocates. Hundreds of people are signed in opposing SHB 1418 (?!) Please: 1) Take 1 minute to sign in PRO 2) Ask someone else who cares about transit to do the same ASAP but before 3pm Thursday (3/19) We need rider representation on transit boards #WALeg

I threw a pickle slice at a seagull today and I watched this garbage eater gently pick it up, taste it, the spit it out and walk away. I think that tells you all you need to know about pickle flavor. (I still like them from time to time...)

Trying some updates for these older characters of mine. Two entomologists, trying to make a successful documentary but always ending up crushed, burnt, stung, or just broke!

Really interesting tax strike petition for WA state here. I've signed it. I want to get Bobby Furg to do something ballsy like this. chng.it/JbJ2BDzRRW

Going to ECCC as a fan or pro? Please mask. Covid? Still a thing. Flu season? Extra big! Measles? Fucking measles making a come back. Protect yourself, and and help to protect everyone else at the convention.

FYI for those stuck in the US like I am. It's not much but easy to participate and hopefully build towards longer ones that actually start stinging.

I never thought I would see new Ristar official promo art again as long as I lived, this is beautiful. I hope it means we see him again in some animated or games media soon.

Making GREAT progress on Afterglow's 3D model! Just a little more weight paint jank to clean up. I've found some promising tutorials on more advanced cel shading/painterly fx that I want to try to apply here too. She is really a test bed for #blender3D techniques.

In Homeward Bound 2, there's a scene where a dog-actor growls and her human actor VO threatens a dog with "Looking to get yourself fixed?!" Then the scene de-escalates. Its pretty nuts (NPI) to realize that the male dog was about to get its balls bitten clean off. Just kids movie stuff.

WA friends, leave a comment here and/or call your reps. This is a blatant attempt at voter suppression in our state. If this passes, the state will start going more red, and that is by design. Supressed states vote conservative becauae they can't win fair elections.

FINALLY have her moving! Just a fun lil loop for now. Her shoulder and clav still aren't deforming right, but I GOT TIRED OF WEIGHT PAINTING! #blender3d #animation #wip #dimpin

This app is really nice for keeping you on task. I used it a lot during the 2016 Trump admin and will have to use it even more now. I remember mispronouncing Kavanaugh's name when I called to reject his nomination lol. It happens. Still better to call anyway.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

Last one of my #reploid inspired robot designs. I think this guy is just the coolest. He hosts a planetarium show and uses his lasers for nice reasons during the day. I imagine he sounds like Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Giancarlo Esposito. #animation #alligator #megamanx #oc

Little stowaway on my car this morning!

Another #reploid #animation for all ye weary souls. This is the one I was looking forward to getting VO for the most! Just one more coming after this. It was a fun challenge to make all these. #macaque #monkey #vacuum #suck
