It's not okay to bully people.

But we all agreed a corporation is not a people!

Zally Alley, depicted here as a mephitine/skunk, leans against a giant paintbrush that has smeared red paint on the floor. The ink pen she usually uses is seen in her right skirt pocket. The background is a gradient of blues.

"Zkunky Zally"

@waggtoon.bsky.social’s Zally Alley has always reminded me of a skunk/mephitine in terms of her design. So I decided to put that to visuals in my signature way, and draw a mephitine version of Zally for Joey’s birthday. Happy birthmas! #ZallyAlley #Grunvalified

As much as we (rightly) fear the coming destruction of climate change, hunting and human encroachment and land use are still the major driver of extinction worldwide. Save what we can!

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

Screenshot of Figure 13.9 in AR6-WG2, chapter 13, Europe. Europe maps show suitable climate conditions for native plants, insects and mammals, at warming of 1.5°C and 3.2°C: At global 1.5°C, insects lose 40-60% of their habitat in many and vast regions of Europe. In small areas, they virtually risk extinction. At 3.2°C, plants lose 40-60% of their habitat in all regions. Mammals fare a little better than plants and keep their habitat in a bit larger areas. Insects go extinct at 3.2°C in all regions, keeping at most 20-40% of their habitat. In some North Europe regions and East Europe it's 100% loss. Caption: Figure 13.9 | Species projected to remain within their suitable climate conditions at increasing levels of climate change. Colour shading represents the proportion of species projected to remain within their suitable climates averaged over 21 CMIP5 climate models (Warren et al., 2018). Areas shaded in green retain a large number of species with suitable climate conditions, while those in purple represent areas where climates become unsuitable for more than 80% of species without dispersal . Further text: Risks for terrestrial ecosystems will increase with warming with high impacts at > 2.4°C and very high impacts > 3.5°C. Land use changes will increase extirpation and extinction risk. In Northern Europe, biodiversity vulnerability is projected to be lower as new climate and habitat space is becoming available. Warming < 1.5°C would limit risks to biodiversity, while 4°C and intensive land use may lead to a loss of suitable climate and habitat for most species.

* must. For avoiding destruction of our tech-civilisation, production must be organized around ecological & human well-being. It's not debatable anymore because it was left too long. "Should" makes it sound as if their were still wriggle room. But there isn't. Not globally, not locally. See AR6-WG2:

One of my favorite artists on social media (and one of my best friends) making art of my favorite princess! AAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE THIS 🤩😊

Drag queen (inspired?) Rosalina. That... is an AWESOME take! 🤩

"Wylers’ All Hallows’ VIII" (2025) Featuring Dolly Wyler-Voronov cosplaying as Princess Daisy.

"Tomboy Princess Nerdiness" (2025) Featuring Gilda Grime and Margo Hynde cosplaying as Princess Daisy.

"A Nerdy Geek as a Tomboy Princess" (2023) Featuring Gilda Grime as Princess Daisy.

"Daisy’s Shades" (2023) Featuring the Bowser-punting, apple-munching, tomboy princess of the desert so beautiful that an alien once abducted her.

Happy #Mar10Day!

You’d never guess who my favorite character is.

Fun fact: never in history has meaningful change happened overnight. But it’ll never happen period if people don’t do the bare minimum to instigate it because “it’s not fast enough”

Elephant Rosalina. Wowie zowie!

Apparently Rosalina’s bang is such an iconic part of her design that she keeps it even as an elephantine.

Somehow I knew this’d happen. Still, funny design.

…boop her nose. Gilda refuses to do the latter, however, due to her own nose trauma.

Thank you to everyone who got me over the 600 follower mark! I had 1100 on the other site, but this site has less of a bot problem, so I trust most of you are the real deal!

…even further, by poking her dimples.

Sometimes, if Wendy’s feeling in a silly enough mood, she’ll also blow a raspberry. Of course, at this particular moment, Wendy was indeed feeling in that kind of silly mood.

Nicole also likes to poke Wendy’s dimples, as well as… 🧵

Gilda Grime pokes the cheeks of Wendy Wyler as she smiles and blows a raspberry. The two are dressed in 1980s-style business suits, with hair and makeup also reminiscent of the period.

"Dimples and Raspberries (600 Bluesky Followers)"

Wendy has dimples in her cheeks when she smiles, a trait inherited from her father that she also shares with Dolly and Nicole. Gilda finds this trait endearing, and she likes to cheer Wendy up… #OTOG #GildaGrime #WendyWyler 🧵

I just remembered Frogger's hilarious scream from Swampy's Revenge and now I'm going to bless all of your timelines with it. You're welcome.

"The world is on fire."

SO LET'S PUT IT OUT. Are we really just gonna sit by and let the monsters in power ruin all the progress humanity has made? Or are we gonna put up a fight and take back what rightfully belongs to the good people of this world?

Clyde McBride made a great young Bill.

people cannot lose hope, otherwise things will get much worse if people believe they are doomed either way

My thoughts go out to the people of Scotland tonight, especially those in Glasgow. May you all rebuild.

A ★★★★★ review of Paddington (2014) One of the greatest family films ever made. Hollywood could learn a thing or two from this film on how to make them. Many films made outside of their corner of the industry, but this one especially.

#AdlerOnLetterboxd: Paddington (2014, but 2015 for Americans)

Didn't know I'd be watching this today too, but thanks to the not-JeffMovieMan JF of Jeff's server for hosting a stream of it. Sorry I confused you two during the watch party.

A ★★★½ review of Hoppers (2026) Most of the film is... alright. Not the highest of highs that Pixar consistently achieved at their peak, but still a serviceable family film. However, the third act and ending make it all worth it in ...

#AdlerOnLetterboxd: Hoppers (2026)

We put this 🟠🟢🔵 into this 🦋.

A photo of the poster for Hoppers.

Ice Bear... I mean, Adler is seated for Daniel Chong's movie.

A 21-year-old Wendy Wyler dumps out a beer bottle in the woods. Ten years after the events Adler usually depicts in the Tetrad’s lives, Wendy has gone back to her natural blonde hair color, though with streaks of purple and black. She wears a black T-shirt with a purple trim, purple leather jacket, black leather pants, black pumps, red lipstick similar to Dolly’s, and the hoop earrings Gilda gave her when they met. She also has a bi flag button pinned to her lapel.

"Wendy Wyler - 10 Years Later"

March 7th is Wendy’s canonical birthday, making her the oldest of the Tetrad. Also, if the strict timeline is considered, she’d specifically be turning 21 today. So, here’s Wendy, ten years older than I usually draw her! #Grunvale #OTOG #WendyWyler

Adler has completed Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers for the PS1 in 3 hours, 36 minutes, and 28 seconds of RetroArch-logged time. The set had 65 achievements worth a total of 278 points, plus an extra point from 'Magica's Devilish Dome' the Achievement of the Week when Adler tackled this set. Mostly a cakewalk of a set, with the exception of 'Time Trial - Ghostly Path' taking Adler over a half-hour of attempts to achieve. Adler is the 1610th user on RA to master this set, their 22nd mastery.

All 65 achievements earned, in what RA claims to be 3 hours and 53 minutes. Adler had beaten the game and completed the set at the same time, coming in four minutes over the median beat time of 3 hours, 49 minutes, but seventeen under the median completion time of 4 hours, 10 minutes.

Donald reacts to Daisy kissing him, in the ending FMV of Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers for the PS1. Note from Adler: I love this couple so much. Donald and Daisy are so perfect for one another. 🥹

Surprise! The PS1 version of Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers is #RetroAchievements mastery number 22. One of the achievements was the Achievement of the Week, and it seemed like a quick set to knock out, so I decided, why not?

Beware of bad actor messaging campaigns aimed to get you to not take action. They are popping up on my feed here more often.

One just said that “voting truly is the opiate of the masses,” as if voting isn’t the bare minimum way we should engage in our democracy.

Please keep voting 🙏

Woah, sick leg! Did it spark a lot? DID THEY LET YOU KEEP THE OLD ONE?!
