Some of the largest inspirations for me as an artist are Mr Rogers, LeVar Burton, Carl Sagan, and Bob Ross.

I want to inspire the world to be kinder, encourage creativity, and cultivate curiosity.

I feel like adults need those messages now just as much as kids.

It's a long road, but worth it

Satellite Imagery

xkcd.com/3173/
Comic. [Two people in front of projected satellite image. A small portion of the image is pixelated squares.] PERSON 1: Wait, when was this imagery taken? Is this censorship the work of the contractor? One of our people? *Foreign actors!?* PERSON 2 with ponytail: Do we know who’s operating a facility at that location? PERSON 1: We can’t find *anything*. [caption] My hobby: Setting up big colored panels in the middle of nowhere as a prank on remote sensing people

I'm almost getting the itch to start writing more regularly. Even posts here. Would be quite the change of pace. Hey fingers crossed it keeps up.

Inspired by my #blueskyrelay #prompt for today, #secondchancestastelikecinnamon.

A tender note for a love trying to survive the distance.

A story / love letter inspired by the #BlueskyRelay #prompt of (#secondchancestastelikecinnamon). Written, and Copyright (c) 2025, by Eric Montgomery (@Madp03t.bsky.social). All Rights Reserved. My love, I do not know where you are tonight, only that the dark feels thinner when I pretend you are close enough to hear me breathe. I keep replaying that last hour, the way you touched my face as if you were memorizing it for later. I have tried to stay steady. Some days I manage. Most days I hold the memory of your mouth against my skin, and it is the only thing that keeps my hands from shaking. You made me believe second chances were real. I think they taste like cinnamon when your breath mixes with mine in a way that pulls the room warmer than it should. I still feel that heat when I close my eyes. If you ever doubt what was real, remember the sound you made when I traced the line of your shoulder. If distance keeps you silent, let your memory reach instead. I will feel it. I always do. Yours, then and now.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting next to Green, who has curled up into a tight ball, looking miserable. Green: Would you still love me if I never got better? Blue hesitates a moment before answering. Blue: What a silly thing to ask. Joining Green on the floor, Blue wraps himself around Green, who doesn't seem as sad anymore. Blue: I would love you even if you got worse.

Honestly pretty happy to see this. Especially if one company manages to achieve it I believe it could inspire competitors and alternatives. If a monopoly can be avoided it could be a huge game changer for internet access.

I've been bedridden for the last 16 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Panel 01: A ball drawn on a whiteboard. The ball has two eyes on its "sides", the sides not facing you. A wooden teaching pointer is pointed at it, and someone is speaking from off-panel, saying "prey animals have eyes on the SIDES of their head, like this." Panel 02: The teaching point now points to another part of the whiteboard, where a ball has two eyes on its front. The off-panel speaker says "predator animals have eyes on the FRONT, like THIS." Panel 03: We zoom out and reveal the speaker to be Shen, who is holding the teaching pointer and asking the class ahead of him, "any questions?" Panel 04: It's 3 characters at tables in a classroom: A sheep with side eyes on one side, a tiger with front eyes on the other, and a shark raising his fin in the middle.
