Hey! You! Yes, you! Give this a shot!

I'm currently on the Pedestrian Advisory Board and my second term is ending so I will be leaving shortly. It's been awesome and I think we've gotten some good stuff accomplished.

Please ask me your questions about serving, if you're interested.

Watching THE RECKONING (2003) on Hoopla - I saw it in college, but not since. Absolutely killer medieval theater stuff, discussions of art and the ethics that dictate its execution. Willem Dafoe, Paul Bettany, Brian Cox, Tom Hardy, Vincent Cassell.
(I put it on because Yvonne Blake did the costumes)

How I Learned To Stop Doomscrolling And Touch Grass: An Origin Story

(proof of life comic I've been wanting to draw for awhile)

yeahhh, this is how I ended up buying my wedding dress from Ukraine

I am Gen X and the polio vaccine has existed for my entire life and my mom still got very worried if my brothers and I had diarrhea or headaches in the summer.

I went on the hunt a few weeks ago and from touching stuff at the mall I can say that Pottery Barn has good quality expensive sheets, but getting just a queen fitted sheet anywhere is basically impossible.

I'm sure I'm not the first freak in your mentions talking about mastodon, but I get pretty good reach on my tiny server. it is pretty well federated after all!
(obv I'm here too because this is where my friends are, and nothing is really replacing pre-elon twitter anytime soon, it is a problem)

oh I need this!

some flavor compounds tend to be easy to lose because they're like the top notes in a perfume, too volatile to stick around.

this is worse if it cools slowly because the heat is what's driving off the volatiles, you might try cooling your soup on the top shelf of your fridge in a shallow container

Rick Steves' Iran (2009) YouTube video by Rick Steves' Europe

Tried watching @ricksteves.bsky.social Iran episode and only made it 30 seconds before getting choked up at the sight of darling Iranian school girls.

If only everyone could see their humanity. ❤️‍🩹 A must watch.

the thing about mastodon is that dot social is too big and has shitty moderation, so people point the public at the mid-size open-enrollment servers, but a lot of those are headed by petty tyrants with Forum Moderator Brain Rot.

what you want is a tiny server full of people you know personally

Alright, the flier's finished!

We have 17 days before Oregon's temperate rainforests are turned to mulch. Spread the world, write your representatives, & tell the Bureau of Land Management *exactly* where they can shove their logs.

reed is in the business of doing state/county fairs, reedpop (their convention arm) is not where their money or their expertise is at.

pnwapts.com/freya/ yes, they're microstudios and it's a 4-storey walk-up but, it's very close to multiple buss routes and across the street from a grocery store

😑

every lifer minion who knew where things were, knew how things worked, or was autistic enough to be honestly motivated to help you find or do anything, and *especially *anyone who cared enough to try and preserve real safety?

They have left.

The neurotypicals are running the show now.

sorry to hear everyone is having a bad time with crowd control at ECCC this weekend.

after reedpop took over they had labor disputes with the full-time minions, alienated their entire labor force, and now, instead of hoards of lifer volunteers, they run things on a skeleton crew of temps.

hilarious that they want there to be snow again.
like, babycakes, you can either have snow, or, an economy that depends on oil, but you can't have both.

…..ohno

Look they also have an amazing cafe

personally I think mastodon doesn't actually get good until you're either self-hosting or on an instance where you personally know the admins

A drawing of a snowdrop plant with 2 flowers, surrounded by a halo of 7 moths. The background inside the halo is light blue and dotted with white snowflakes, and the snowdrop leaves and stem are coloured green. The moths are a cream coloured with green markings to echo the inner petals of the flowers. The background of the moth halo itself is coloured night sky blue and sprinkled with stars.

Last week was rough, and I worked both days this weekend, so I'll have to finish off my last #FebruaryFrost26 drawing some other time.

But this drawing from the first prompt is my favourite thing I've drawn for myself for chuffin ages! 😁

Thanks to all the hosts is this challenge 💖

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

The Alt Park Service account is one of the longest running grift accounts I’m aware of. Never credit photographers, not really “alt” park service employees, selling shirts, now giving out terrible unsolicited advice about LLMs. I can’t believe people still follow them.

that one painting of a depressed jester, but he's looking at a computer screen and everything is 8 bit and dithered because I ran a tumblr meme through paint dot net
