I can deal with a sudden change of plans. But then changing the change of plans back to the unchanged version REALLY throws me. #Dysregulated #Doodles #Drawing #TraditionalArt

A black and white pen cartoonish drawing of a discombobulated puppy. It's sitting back awkwardly, ears and tail all ruffled, with different-sized eyes. There are bubbles and little birds flying in circles around the puppy's head, Looney-Tunes style.

Glad I'm not the only one, then 😬

I honestly feel like we've gotten to a point where we need to start asking pollies and bureaucrats to define "consulted". Show me what you mean on the IAP2 spectrum mate, because I'm pretty sure we're using that word differently

I'd like to order one basket of floof, please. Lightly toasted. #MaineCoon #CatsOfBluesky

Gosh. That's... Something. Maybe I'm just not experienced enough in this space yet, but is there any precedent for ministers setting "expectations" for independent statutory bodies?

Ya know, my ADHD and trauma makes me a bit of a flake at times, but I can't say I've ever killed any babies about it

I heard from the same friend that they secretly use Amazon offices too, right under Jeff's nose. Better raid them all just in case

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Although, to be fair, the whole post does also apply to a lot of bad DnD DMs out there.

Representing the anonymous internet masses: I thought you were going in a bit hard on DnD dungeon masters there. Took me til the third sentence to realise that was not what was happening.

Sad trivia: when I started this piece a few weeks ago, two of the dogs were still alive. This is no longer the case :(

Exclusive* early drop for the BSky crew of my Artfully Queer 2025 entry. Title "I Wish You'd Let Us Love You" or, alternatively, "An Honest Portrait of Gerrit Kruijver". #TraditionalArt #ColourPencil #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtfullyQueer

*lol

A coloured pencil drawing; there are three portraits of the same man. The centre portrait is the man smiling with a sparkle in his eye, drawn in lively colours. On his chest and shoulders are a variety of smaller animal portraits: two border collies, a yellow lab, and two rams. The left and right hand portraits are the same man, but in dark, desaturated colours. The left portrait stares into the distance, with an expression that's a mixture of dissociation and fear. The right portrait has downcast eyes and a drooping expression that conveys a weary bitterness and sadness.

Holy shit they can't even pretend not to hate it. So gross.

Our existence threatens the lies people are telling themselves. We've done the hard work to shatter our own illusions, and they're too scared to do that for themselves. That's why they get so angry. #TransLiberation

If it's a thing, look up how it affects cis dudes? Most (oral) medications give side effects according to hormonal profile afaik.
