I am now trying to figure out a) why there are no profile-reporting options in GR and b) if I can figure out who the author of the 5-stars are and if they are all the same person... 🕵️🤔🤖

gender is a performance and i keep forgetting my exact lines but it’s okay i’m getting them close enough
Gender is a performance and I didn’t even make it through the audition before the director politely told me they’d seen enough
Gender is a performance and I'm that one scene in THE NICE GUYS where Ryan Gosling is in the toilet stall and fumbles with a lit cigarette

Nothing more autumn colored than a good chestnut. This is my UVM Yesteryear, by Sarah Rose, painted by Sheri Rhodes.

Two Buckskin Tobiano stallions, a decade apart!
I absolutely love Brooks! His color is wonderful and his plastic is a bright, solid white which I really like that Breyer is using. Very happy to add him to my collection.

I think, if I had my basic food, shelter, and health care needs met (and guaranteed to be there in the future)... I would go find ways to volunteer to help people.
I work now to build up funds because I won't be able to work in the future. If I didn't have to worry about that, the skies the limit.

What's a risk you'd be more comfortable taking if Universal Basic Income (UBI) provided a floor of income you could never fall below?

It's November and I really should be writing, or doing art, or working on my computer game, or.. anything creative really. But I'm just so burnt out by *gestures at everything*
Dad is coming to visit this weekend and he always seems to spark my 'get up and DO' back into action, so here's to Dad! 🤞🍀

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but we can all take at least some solace in the fact that bookstores exist.

I had the thought that fauxnicorns might be a little bendier than regular horses as a result of lion dna used in their tails, making them a little more flexible overall. Not sure!

A good chunk of the settings did default to warn, but I had to unhide a few. I'd rather see the warn and block folks if needed. 🤔
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

We’re sorry, but The Void is full of screams today, so please try these alternatives:
- headbutt the sea
- have a dance battle with squirrels
- write a bad Yelp review of the moon
- mutter obscenities into your soup bowl

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!
Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

There is currently a moth in my house that I am looking to rehome back outside... but I can't find it. (I get glimpses of it out of the corner of my eyes but can't find the darned thing when I try to chase it down.)
Are ghost moths a thing? 🤔 (Saturniidae why do you vex me so??)

Love coding for a living, but every so often I have to remind myself of that as I try very hard to get the screen to look like the Figma. Using the company's proprietary react components that resist modification.
...I need to watch more css battle videos apparently. 😅

I've finally tidied up the workbench, so back to #modelhorse prompts! My fall/autumn horse is a fluffy pony I bought last year on that most autumnal holiday... Black Friday 😉
Meet Ladidadi, a 2024 Kylee Parks Tracy Bow resin; click through to see her adorable little fuzzy face (and seams 😅)

2nd horse, 2nd shelf. My Kitty Cantrell Shania resin painted by the late Kathy McKenzie. Kathy was a prolific artist here in the Midwest in the 90s and a lovely person, and I miss her whenever I am in a model horse space.

So we survived at the craft fair. Once again I only sold a single thing to someone I did not know. And I sold the majority of things to my pseudo siblings and family. 😂❤️
That does mean I'll have some stuff to offer to internet folks!
I am kicking around the idea of doing a Free Booth next year. 🤔

📣 NEW SHIRT DESIGN DROPPED
I've lovingly edited one of my lino prints to convert it into a new shirt design, my first in a year! About time, right?
I decided to put this one on a sweatshirt too, just in time for the cool weather ☕
