Love when @hankgreen.bsky.social makes a video screaming what I have screaming in my head. It's good to not feel so alone.

Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist.

Some things I designed for my D$D campaign: an ornate mirror, a weird sword, a pig wand, and a pig and a wizard hat.

Saw Good Boy. Very cute dog. Strange coincidence that the movie had the same plot as Carter Vail’s Dirt Man. youtube.com/shorts/dxqjr...

Fantasmicalloween Day 3: The Architect of Halloween

A man with a skull head wearing glowing orange glasses and smoking a cigarette is drawing up plans for this Halloween, including pumpkin faces and a haunted house. Ghosts are looking over his shoulder as he scribbles away.

A list of Halloween themed prints. Giant pumpkin at by Rhode Monjito!

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Just finished driving home 9 hours from Reno to Los Angeles. The I-5 should be rolled up like a carpet and stuffed in a well where no one can find it. No one should ever drive anywhere for any reason ever again. Everyone stay home. All trucks should be kicked into the sun. Good night.

shadrad 🪐 still got that Space Trauma @shadrad.bsky.social · 10d

People continue to invent justification as to why cats don't actually love or care about you.

Strange how deference to a constructed social hierarchy as with dogs is seen as the only kind of 'real love' and the loose, but pro-social colony structure of domestic cats is not acknowledged.

shadrad 🪐 still got that Space Trauma @shadrad.bsky.social · 10d

Cats are colony animals and bring back prey to their friends/family for extra food (for those who can't easily hunt, like nursing mothers or sick/injured), learning/play for young, or just extra resources for whoever needs it. It's instinct & social behavior. You are its family.

Pea soup!

Drawing of Oliver Hardy sized Hap-Pea probably going to miss the pea he is trying to split with a hammer as Stanley Laurel size Pea-Wee tries to hold a pea-splitter steady. Pea-Wee probably gonna take damage.

Cute Tavisha about to have split pea soup!

Horrible Rikki got too much split pea soup.

At a diner. Butter flew off my zucchini bread and bounced off my tie, and then my shirt, and then my vest, and then my pants, and then my sock, and then my shoe. I’m more butter than man now.

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

a small brown dog leaps up from behind a pile of crunchy brown leaves. her eyes and mouth are open wide, and her big floppy ears are extended out like wings to either side.
