Nearby fireworks last night gave me a jump scare and I'd be lying if I said the possibility of immediate violence didn't flash through my mind...

Finally finished Pluribus and honestly that shit isn't looking so bad right now...

I'm showing up to the last day of #aas247 in tired, hoodie mode.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Please stop randomly swishing around a laser pointer while giving your talk. #AAS247

I honestly thought you were referring to this character as fish man cut he's kind of fishy... Til i realized you were talking about Shape of Water!

This is how i met good friends, colleagues, and found jobs as well in the old days.

And silly shit posting. 😁

I've also done a fair amount of not pushing myself this week, giving how burnt out I've been. But I'll be there today! I have an afternoon talk that still needs to be uploaded 😬

What's kind of neat from a disability standpoint is that for her and other characters with assistive devices, it's normalized.

I remember the cos players LOSING THEIR MINDS when those costumes with the ITTYBITTY details first debuted.

If you need someone to tell you: you are safe tonight. It’s OK to put down your phone and sleep. The world will still be consuming itself tomorrow. Right now you need rest. Close your eyes and imagine you’re a bird, that you can see the electromagnetic current of the earth.

I love everything about this

The Klingon thing is never explained. They just got cray-cray with the costuming I think.

The cyborg head will get an explainer eventually!

I once told a student to "sustenance the meatsack" so they didn't skip lunch again and it STUCK
January 7, 2026 at 4:56 AM

Especially when we were discussing sexy fish man the other day!

It’s Tapir Time
Ume is officially 11 months old and already weighs 483 pounds! 💗 That’s more than halfway to mom Yuna’s impressive 800 pounds. This adorable Malayan tapir is gaining size, confidence, and curiosity by the day, still keeping close to mom while steadily growing into her almost-teen tapir era.

This is why I will now be referring to exercise as "maintenance for the meatsack"
gahhh i’m taking a break from art but my brain is still like “why do these bruises on my hips have to be from attempted self-massage and not something funner” *glares up at thread of fanart of a guy who gets a bunch of fun bruises*
