Ion @violetmagician.bsky.social · Oct 18

I guess you can have pinned posts now so. Hi! I’m Ion, I do a lot of brightly colored designs. I love folklore, and also tokusatsu. I design and sell pins and stickers and whatnot and I do take commissions.

I am several fancy cocktails deep but would like to relay the experience of the time I just decided to let my dog go after the cockroaches I always assumed he wanted to eat 🖊️🦑

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

Since I'll be doing in person vending in December have been organizing pins and making sure numbers are right. And the It pronoun pins have been popular out of these, only a couple A grades left

These pins had an issue with the old merch people I used where a bunch of glitter and stuff got stuck in the enamel so there are like more B grades than normal too. So like if you're fine with bits of stray glitter in your pin, there's still plenty of B grades.

In case you, like me, saw your electric bill more than double.

Peter Butler @peter-butler.bsky.social · 2d

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

It's comfy. I am still getting used to walking around without one eye. But like it's helpful to be able to draw without my eye getting super tired.

Ion @violetmagician.bsky.social · 3d

the scitalis I also really like because I have a soft spot for medieval serpents in general. But I just think the snail is the most eye catching

so, I got an eyepatch to wear at night for my bad eye and it's been helping my facial muscles hurt less too. Turns out it was bad to have to constantly try to compensate for a dropping eyelid and double vision. Plus, pretty nice looking eye patch
