Artist, weirdo, cat person. Graphics wonk

I repost almost all OC that comes across my feed. I try to avoid human-free graphics.

Inspired by @ginnydi.com my wife and I are putting together a #DnD adventuring party made of thrift store dolls. One of our first finds was this amazing Jimi Hendrix doll. He cannot be anything but our Bard. His Battle-Cat is a great touch. More pix as we progress

Hey, look what I did with my afternoon! If my boss is going to basically make me spend a thousand bucks on video equipment, by the gods I'm going to make use of it.

This is for an upcoming #HowTo video about our #NoSewCollar

There's no audio. That's a separate track.

I am completely not shocked at my #1 word. I love that "fuck" and "those" are the same scale, which means that "fuck those" is one of my more common phrases.

Loving this email I got from our CRM provider this morning. "My AI Agent Went Rogue And Helped My Customers" seems like something @chucktingle.bsky.social would dream up. There would have to be some butt-pounding for it to be a real Tingler but. It's so there.

This is Tobias Caeks. I stole him from a crack house on a sub-freezing January night in Seattle. He was painfully shy of humans and not fond of cats for years after, but fell in love with my wife and she became His Human quickly. He lived a full life, departing this vale of tears in 2023, aged 18

Found a skein of the perfect yarn yesterday for crocheting my grumpy unicorn, Jed

It's the exact same color as the Baskin-Robins bubblegum ice cream I used to get with the free cone certificate from my dentist.

Too fucking right. This picture is from the eye of Hurricane Beryl, 2024. The aircraft here is another P-3 Orion, named "Miss Piggy"

I'm no coward, I love adrenaline but this? I would shit myself inside out and die.

Helping my partner set up a booth at the Mushroom Festival at Mt Pisgah and found this absolute unit of a polypore. They made it known to me that their name is Daryl. #eugeneor #fungus
