I know all you Twin Peaks fans are aware of how the falls normally look, so. Behold how badly the rain is flooding WA rn
Mid-afternoon update at Snoqualmie Falls. Water levels are currently at 19.4 feet, nearly a foot and a half higher than yesterday!

Tomorrow morning it will make a run at the all-time record water level #wawx

Bwahaha! IT’S JUST REALLY GOOD. Though I would love it if Black Library made it a little nicer to acquire print copies (but bless all the used book places).
New hyperfocus pulling into the station, woo woo.

Uhhh, thanks @alienfirst.bsky.social and @hazelmonforton.com I guess, my wallet is going to hate both of you

Took some time last night to browse for potential therapists again. This time trying to find someone who works with artists and other creatives (the burnout is real and has been for 5+ years now). Found, like, SIX promising ones, and ALL OF THEM did not take insurance. Kind of a gut punch there.

My baby niece turned four the other day, and according to my middle sister, the niece has declared that she “can swear now!” Which, you know what, I think is fair. Get it on girl.

I’m gonna make this a double sided charm so the other side can have little booty cheeks.
I keep thinking I’ve already drawn the silliest things I could, but then I surpass myself. Anyway, I don’t know anything about the Chiikawa series, but Cherubael as a lil’ guy in that style has been a brainworm that wouldn’t leave. Enjoy. 🎨 #WH40k #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

Instead of a vidya game, I decided to try and strugglebus my way into finishing this 37 with acrylic markers. 🎨

I am OBSESSED with this new skin for Bready in Nikke. It’s very simple, but it’s adorable. The hair accessory being a bread clip? AHHHH! Also she’s one of the thicker Nikkes, and I just love when they get some love. Wish I had her unit!

Some days I question my decision to nuke my Twitter account with 4500 followers. Then I just get reminded about something or another and am content.
NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

I don’t think anything is cuter than my husband, calling me on his way to work, simply b/c he had to share a part of The Infinite and the Divine b/c he’s listening to the audio book as he drives. What a good egg.

LE GASP. Space Marine 2 works on my computer! I was worried b/c it didn't work on Steve's. I'm gonna play the shit out of this game with my mom. Trying to persuade @airbubbles.bsky.social to join me. Us three streaming it would be lots of fun. For me at least. Not sure about anyone else.

I keep seeing this pop up and ppl defending the student in some wild ways. Saying “it’s just an undergrad essay” or “it’s just opinion.” My doods, if what I’ve seen quoted is accurate to the essay, that shit wouldn’t fly in my high school English classes. It’s a deserved zero.
This reads like a 4th graders "what I did on summer vacation" assignment. My sister in christ, you didn't get a 0 because of discrimination. You got a 0 because you can't write for shit and have the intellectual curiosity of an oven mitt. This is a COLLEGE LEVEL CLASS.

Trying to take pics of my mom’s elusive kitty, Mischief. She is a sweetie pie, but a little skittish.
