Love when a bundled up baby looks like they're t-posing because of the thick layers 😅

I made my new D&D character be missing a finger in his backstory just so I could make his knuckle tats be like so 😅

Check out this art I commissioned from @koalalaurelin.bsky.social for my new D&D character, Clem 👀

A muscular man with mutton chops and messy brown hair, grinning with his fists raised. He's missing his right pink finger and on his remaining fingers has tattooed "GET SOME".

He's wearing green slacks, suspenders, and a white muscle shirt.

After at least years of not, I've seen two Aesop Rock references just this week lol

I like to tell people "I can't have kids" and conveniently leave out that it's because I convinced a doctor to give me a vasectomy at 21y/o 😅

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

That's such a sad situation, I'm sorry 😔

I think I'm the same way. Left to my own devices I just keep pushing my bedtime further and further back until it loops around again

That's very fair! I still stay logged in to watch stuff I'm subscribed to and I click recommended videos and stuff so really it's a small effort in the face of a vast corporate surveillance state but oh well

Chris @ary.bsky.social · 5h

I do almost all my searches, YouTube included, in incognito mode because I don't like being profiled by corporations lmao

But now I can't profile myself 😔

a screencap from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, showing the legendary Tina Turner as Aunty Entity, smiling broadly as she states "but how the world turns. One day, cock of the walk. Next, a feather duster."

I think YouTube is typically a lot, if not *more so*, "give a free key to a YouTuber", so less you having to worry about making a good video at least 🤷

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.

AI Bros: so homey! So comfy!

every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES
