@Runner I had to look that up just now, but... that looks pretty damn cool 👀

[MH, socializing and friends 3]

And again, I'm still learning. It seems that this shit is something one needs to practice to get better at. So... I'm hopeful and optimistic, but I still have to sit and stew alone in the meantime

[MH, socializing and friends 2]

At this point, if I'm invited to literally anything at all, I jump at the chance. In the past I was tired and wary of unfamiliar places and activities, but now? lol, doesn't matter how nervous I may be, if someone wants me to be there with them.

Surely that […]

[MH, socializing and friends]

I'm going through a bizarre phase right now, in which I'm learning how to socialize the way I ought to have learned when I was much younger. Or I did once, but lost it due to disuse over a decade or two.

So far, I can put myself into social settings among new […]

How the heck does stuff keep happening at the same time as things keep changing? I am simply not equipped to handle all this

Twice now today, I have clicked the "unsubscribe" link in an email, which led to a broken web site (HPE and Crunchyroll).

I started a new page cataloging the cool independent online stores I've discovered and not gonna lie I wish they had nice link banners or buttons I could use because regular text isn't cutting it.

Having to skip a few CuteGirltober days... but tonight was the bi-weekly drawing meetup in Toronto. The theme was to create an autumn monster, and I'm thinking... maybe a fae creature? Like kinda dark, cunning, subtly menacing— aaaaaand dangit it just turned out […]

[Original post on mastodon.art]

A pencil drawing of a fairy-type being, resembling a young woman with a long mess of stringy hair, caught up in a pair of tree branches emerging from her head like antlers. She has large insectoid wings on her back, which resemble decayed leaves of which only the veins remain. She's wearing nothing for clothing, except for scattered leaves covering her bust and lower body. She's seated on the ground, her legs crossed and knees up in front of her, with her head tilting to one side as she looks at the viewer with a suspicious little grin.

Day 6: Amy, in idol mode :D

(Skipping ronan so I can draw him on his birthday x3)

#grandchase

An alcohol drawing of a girl flashing peace signs with both hands while smiling brightly. Her hair is tied up into a side ponytail with cat baubles. She is wearing a choker with a heart dangling from the center, a crop top with a zipper down the middle, belted suspenders, and a miniskirt with spats underneath it.

hey wanna see something kinda interesting? this was the entire fix to the iPhone Antennagate in 2010. 20 bytes.

(this is going to be a very long thread 🧵)

Assembly code between iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1. It's basically the same except one instruction points to a different address.

A lookup table tweaked between 4.0 and 4.0.1.

Day 3: Arme- candy alchemist!

#grandchase

An alcohol marker drawing of a girl holding an alchemist's pot with candy magically bursting out of it to her chest. She is winking happily and her hair is tied in two chunky braids. She is wearing an alchemist's uniform consisting of a jacket over puffy shorts.

#CuteGirltober Day 5: Grunge

(Eep, falling behind 🥲)

...Okay, I'm kinda liking this look for Ceilidh

#cutegirltober2025 #oceilidhtober #art #MastoArt #illustration #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh

A drawing of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair that's somewhat disheveled and falling in her face. She's standing slouched, with a skateboard hanging from one hand. She's wearing a red plaid unbuttoned shirt over a T-shirt, baggy jeans with some tears in them, large boots, and some prominent headphones hanging from her neck. Her expression is one of tired annoyance.

Inktober day 5: “Deer”

#inktober #inktober2025 #deer

One-panel comic. A man is seated on a chair, hiding his face in the newspaper he is trying to read. Behind him is a doe, nagging him.

Doe: “Are you going to do the laundry?”
Man: “Yes, deer”
Doe: “Will you take out the trash?”
Man: “Yes, deer”
Doe: “It’s not like I have opposable thumbs, you know”
Man: “I know, deer”

#CuteGirltober Day 4: Ribbon

#cutegirltober2025 #oceilidhtober #art #MastoArt #illustration #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh

A line drawing from the hips up of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair and big messy bangs. She has her arms up behind her head, tying her hair into a ponytail using an enormous red ribbon tied into a bow. Judging by her facial expression it is proving to be quite challenging, but she seems determined.

I had never heard of this before, but... I kinda dig it :BlobCat_MeltThumbsUp:

#cutegirltober2025 #oceilidhtober #art #MastoArt #illustration #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh

A full-body drawing of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair and big messy bangs. She's wearing a very cutesy outfit in pastel blue/pink/yellows, with a t-shirt, miniskirt, striped knee-high stockings, ankle boots with ruffles, and an oversized hooded coat. She's looking at the viewer with one hand up to her face; the oversized sleeve is flopped over her hand and is hiding a mildly embarrassed expression.

#CuteGirltober Day 2: Checker

I'd like to think she made this herself out of a tablecloth 😆

#cutegirltober2025 #JSSArt #JSSCeilidh

A drawing of my original character Ceilidh, a young woman with long hair and big messy bangs. We're looking up toward her as she bends over at the waist, arms behind her back, looking down at the viewer with a happy excursion. She's wearing a simple dress with a very conspicuous checkered pattern in red and white.

@mrencyclopedia sigh

I'm personally going to be stubborn and keep using my own fork. So far, making it compatible with modern PHP has required changing all of two lines of code

(I ought to learn how to submit pull requests)
