We had to turn on the AC.

On March 10th.

At night.

In Missouri.

During a massive thunderstorm and under a tornado watch.

Again, on March 10th. It’s technically winter.

Totally normal weather, not at all concerning in a global climate catastrophe sense.

Fritos contain three ingredients: corn, corn oil, salt. People regularly disbelieve this because they think something unhealthy must have scary chemicals.

Enjoying some family couch co-op watching @nockergeek.bsky.social play Dispatch. Here’s my special lil boy. I am surprised he’s not a #1 Tumblr sexyman by now.

More ACEO April pieces from the arcade series. These visuals bring back sound and scent memories. I really start craving a big, soft pretzel and a Slush Puppy!

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Having to gently explain every time, "The LLM you're playing with isn't repeating facts, it is arranging words that are statistically likely to appear after one another in the sources it has been fed. It's a madlib generator at best."

A collection of ACEO April from one year. I started out drawing The Good Place fanart and then followed my muse. So, this is a photo of the top row being headshots of actors from The Good Place, the next row has trading cards featuring a lizard person, a funny looking dog, Lil' Sweet the Dr. Pepper mascot, a blue haired catgirl in a maid's dress on a checkered floor, Ladybug and Cat Noir from The Miraculous Ladybug in kissing distance, a strange freckled ginger lad staring back intensely at the viewer over  his shoulder from the edge of a pool. The next row down features Tohru and Kobayashi from their anime cuddling, a green boba tea "Chew your drink!", Bert and Big Bird from Sesame Street looking street tough in their basketball jersey's, Pac Man, Albedo from Overlord anime, a box of popcorn. The next row features a double decker slider hamburger, an experimental piece with watercolor, marker, and bits of cut out paper, a self-portrait of the artist, Ruby Rhod from Fifth Element, a dragon in very neon tones, a watermelon dripping pink juice. The next row features a very angular cockatiel, a rubix cube on a checkered background, Captain OJ Readmore, a row of pizzas, and then a self-portrait of the artist proclaiming "ACEO April: We did it!"

All that's old is new again as we seek out spots of light in a grim world. ACEOs or ATCs are back again and I still have many because they're a fun format. I think it's been gone long enough, some haven't heard of them; little collectible/tradable originals! Make 'em. Collect 'em! #aceo #atc #art

Blood Ravens Speed Painted Marine - finally finished! I have filmed the last 2 tutorials on this model and they will be on my Patreon within the next 2 days. This model took a surprisingly small amount of time to complete.
Have a great Friday!

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

"Trans rights are human rights" has never been more important than right now.

The Kansas GOP overrode the Governor's veto to enable this. If they can willfully do it to one group, they can do it to ANY group.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

A while ago I’ve won a giveaway by Jonas Neumond which brought me a kit of these lovely fellas.
Now they are ready to absorb some enemies. Fun and very relaxing paintjob :)
