As 2025 ends, I want to sincerely thank you.
I only started Bluesky in January after struggling with my art online for more than a decade. Now there’s almost 8k of you, I started selling prints, went to my first ever con, and made over 100 artworks this year.
Thank you so much. 🥹🧡

According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, certain storms undergo bombogenesis, which happens when a storm's central pressure drops at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. These storms are sometimes called bomb cyclones. https://to.pbs.org/4qB6AwO
How bomb cyclones form and create dangerous conditions
Such rapidly strengthening storms are capable of producing heavy rain, blizzard conditions and intense winds that can create dangerous conditions such as downed trees and power outages.

these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔

Since I have been reminded of it, allow me to share one of my very favorite threads of the past year:
