South African dude 🇿🇦💙🌈🐻🏳️‍🌈 casual partaking in the online thing. Don't totally love it. Bluesky seems saner than other platforms?

Kind of miffed that Tim Walz isn't to be USA's Veep next year. Because: chilled piglets rock 🐷💕! Damn

Schalkwyk. A pronunciation pretzel for non-South Africans.

The phonetic spelling: SKULK-vayk (/ˈskʌlk.veɪk/).
"Sch" is like the hard "sk" sound in "sky"
"alk" rhymes with "hulk"
"w" is said like "v" in "vibes"
"wyk" rhymes with "make."

So, Hulk make Skulk-Vake. Schalkwyk.

💚💪😡Smashed it? Aargh!
One of a series of oil paintings i did back in the day. Afrikaans South African policemen 'portraits' — found it an interesting exercise. How do people interpret, react, feel, invest thoughts, based on subjective life experience, personal prejudices, beliefs etc. I like art that doesn't give answers

One happy piglet. This entire scenario is the reason for 💙s to not give up. The reason the right/Fox etc went so hard on Tim Walz is: regular dude, sharp, funny, compassionate, idiosyncratic, looks people in the eyes and hears folk when they talk. Alas not the VP. But lucky for Minnesota. Cool dude.

I love 80s & 90s MTV music videos. Period. So damn cool... simple, honest, ingenuous (mostly)... still discovering the medium, fab, cheesy... Totally dig it!
One of the best albums ever: The The's Mind Bomb (1989) Kindom of Rain, featuring Sinéad O'Connor 💔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIklk1gHbuQ
