It's not healthy to be evil. It takes real energy to choke back the constant shame.

in light of peoples’ bad bunny bowl reactions, I think we need to start confronting people with questions like “why do you believe that you are entitled to enjoy everything that happens?”

...so if anyone wants to buy my Ghost Bear Star (seriously, how has this not sold already?) this is a good time to do so! $150 shipped in the US.

Five BattleMechs in blue-gray with true gray accents and white "cracked ice" bands across their bodies and arms. Left to right they're a Marauder IIC, Kodiak, Stone Rhino (Behemoth), Warhammer IIC, and Rifleman IIC.

First batch of shipments is going out tomorrow! I was trying for today, but I want to give this sinus infection another night to heal up.

LOL, I just went and looked in my own mirror, and I did not like what my upper arm and shoulders were doing in that pose.

Short-form video services. Tiktok, YouTube Shorts, etc. I'll watch a short video on social media, sure, but an app that just blasts an endless parade of them into my eyes? No thank you.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.

I am trying to figure out how to get there, recover the collection, and exfiltrate without catching a felony B&E charge. :D

Sadly, my nearly-complete collection of microgames is sitting in a box in an abandoned building 200 miles away. :(

People don't realize their impact but since you all have shared and donated funds to our move, I've been able to put my earnings from contract work towards putting dents into Student Loans & other debt.

I haven't had to worry about us paying utilities and getting pet food.

Thank you for 40% 🫀

We're at $3,152 out of $15k and that's amazing! We have just been conditionally approved for a new apartment pending background checks and we're steps closer to getting our family in track to leaving DC! Please share this wherever you can and thank you so much!

things done in solitude

#WIP, #comics

Four black and white comic panels in a 2x2 grid. Each appears to depict a mirror frame, reflecting a pretty person applying mascara to their eyelashes, messing up their hair and pouting, then wiping their mouth and grimacing, and finally turning around, looking over their shoulder.

I know these are WiP sketches, but the choice to only draw the important bits in each panel - which happens to include a full-body shot in panel 2 - is so cool. It's got a real minimalist charm.

I'm out of seizure meds and not having a great time. And I need physical therapy at end of week for the janked shoulder (which isn't even part of the goal). I truly could use a big spree of boosts on this.

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 1d

~335 short for out of pocket seizure med. These are the GoodRX *discount* prices. So unhinged here. Out of pills. Truly, each step closer means everything to me! 🙏💖

I mean, Ai is certainly a disruptive technology, as in it's going to fatally disrupt the world economy (and itself) literally any day now.

It's the 2012 reprint, which replaces the Metagaming logos with Steve Jackson Games' and has punch-out counters.

Big Spooky ColBosch @colbosch.bsky.social · 11h

Yeah, IIRC it's the first edition map (slightly smaller) but the second edition counter mix (slightly more).

That's why the cult had to invent Roko's Basilisk, a future hyperintelligent AI that hates everyone who didn't support AI in 2025.

Time to bring back what *should* have been a banger, but I guess it's too sophisticated for the Bluesky hogs.

A picture of Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a Cardassian with a knowing smirk. The photo has been repeated four times, each tinted a different color: green, blue, red, and gray. Along the bottom of each picture is the title of John Le Carre's famous novel and movie: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
