What are you afraid of, Moon Dancer? #mlp #mylittleponyfriendshipismagic #sfmponies

I'm so excited to say that I've finally been able to release my Tenpony Tower SFM map, created originally for Fiaura the Tank Girl for Project Dead Tree and Fallout: Equestria - Dead Tree. Download it here: www.deviantart.com/wintergleam/...

You have your single cup of coffee. I have my four Coke Zeros. WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

How does one acquire an audience? A somewhat insane idea I've had is to develop a habit of posting a shower thought at least once a day, but not sure if I'd actually execute that. Other plans I've considered are using more hashtags (for Mastodon specifically), and becoming a "content creator" 😆.

I have all sorts of opinions about politics/diplomacy, but also this innate paranoia about expressing them, even pseudonymously. It's that I don't know who my "audience" is, and therefore I must stick to "safe" subjects. The other factor is that I have no apparent audience to speak of, LOL.

Look its me! #mylittlepony #mlp #sona #truesona

See, coding while buzzed is like weight training for the mind!

Dunno why I assumed I'd reached the point where I'd stop learning new words.

I’m reading De Divisione Naturae by John Scotus Eriugena, an 8th century Irish monk. Mad bastard. He’s trying to prove that we live in a type of videogame programmed by God, and there’s no possible way to understand or visualise whatever reality God lives in.

Medieval music just hits different.

Low-key I think we all need to be more okay with being bored or doing little to basically nothing We be doing so much in so little time that we actually start to overwork our brains, to the point of being tired basically all the time

New bat, with the weight of a city on her shoulders. #mlp #mlpfim #mlpoc #sfmponies #batpony

caves of qud's grammar subsystems are very normal inside dont worry

GOP lawmaker files resolution to condemn Bishop Budde for her sermon. Ridiculous assault on religious liberty. Gov.'t shouldn't decide which sermons are acceptable or not. This sadly fits with how Trumpian politicians & preachers are responding to Budde (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/brave-serm...)

Please don’t even talk to me in the morning until I’ve had my coffee, 27 hours of alone time, several months by the seaside to ease my agonies, and many decades to wander the earth until the fabled blade of my ancestors can finally be reforged

idk why they call them normal maps they look like really fucked up maps to me

ummmm? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/t...

here, have some fish from 2002

Obligatory self-plug, I wrote about this back in 2021 (foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/19/u...). The distinction is not artificial, it occurs along the same lines in many languages. What matters in this moment is that the warrior is, by his very nature, authoritarian; only the soldier protects freedom.

Just put out a new batpony eye texture pack, based on my one. It's clean, it's slick, and it's got 17 pretty colors to choose from! #sfmponies #batpony #mylittleponyfriendshipismagic

Okay so can we finally go back to calling them Vines now or what

🤣 Awesome push rejected.🙅‍♂️

Movie music goes "this bit is sad. This bit is tense", while game music goes "this bit is a swamp. This bit is a volcano." That's way better actually! Movie soundtracks should try being indifferent to their characters' inner worlds and their stupid little problems and tell you they are in a field

A little comic about desire paths.

how the hell did we find blogs to follow in the early 2000s, before social media? i'm trying to think of other ways to promote IHTOV. i'm sort of dependent on bluesky and on people sharing it, but there's only so much you can do on that end. don't know how to get more eyes on it

I always feel a bit let down when I check a notification and see it's just a follow-for-follow account instead of a genuine new follower. Mastodon seems to be much better about this.

What's up with long-term interest rates? Maybe it's the madness of Trump 2.0 open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Isolated in Indigo Completed YCH for Bombay Colada Working on this piece was so fun. Im very happy with the finished result. Painting stuff like this is always so relaxing.

Gross Topics should be explorable in fiction. People experience a lot of things and fiction allows people to safely learn and understand those things at a distance. Separating fiction from reality is hard nowadays, but things with darker topics should be used to grow empathy or knowledge.

hardest picture ever taken

I 💓this!

This week on the blog: Coins! Contrasting historical coinage with the vision of ancient coinage presented through 'gold' in fantasy fiction. What were coins used for, why did much economic activity remain non-coinage and what do you use when you aren't using coins? acoup.blog/2025/01/03/c...

Every genre of literature and art can be better expressed in pony form. (This is a joke. Mostly. 🦄)
