will reactivate YouTube at some point for time-lapses and have been considering, again in order, Newgrounds, Subscribestar, e612, Weasyl and Inkbunny, but I'm open to suggestions.

It's been one and a half months since I last posted new art... it's like it was a whole different world back then

An intermission of sorts, just something I needed to do, not because of this news in particular, but because I NEEDED to draw Rei (Pikachu) again.
To clarify: they're still at the Johto daycare, I've never played X/Y (but was hoping to "in a year or two") and she'll never stop calling me onii-chan.

"Mom, Mom! Come quick!" a raichu calls out to a pik-achu from a doorway. The pik-achu appears to be sitting on a wavy edge, suggesting a pond. Both have a bow on one ear.

"See?" the raichu tells the pik-achu as she leads her to an old TV and gestures to it. "There's Mega-thingies for us now!" she surmises.
The pik-achu looks at the silhouettes on screen agape. "Where is this even from?" the pik-achu asks.
"Kalos!" the raichu replies cheerfully.
A pich-chu who was watching the TV on a cusion while wearing a trainer jacket looks over his shoulder at them.

"I don't think your brother can afford it," the pik-achu says as she leans in on the TV which now displays the letters D. L. C. among other logos.
"But Onii-chan said we might go in a year or two," the raichu replies more mutedly as she points to the pic-chu.

"Oh, and that one totaly looks like one of missingno's glitches," the pikachu ads, pointing at the mega-raichu that appears on screen with zig-zag tufts resembling double ears.
This excites the raichu, who leans in flicking her tailtip. "Oh! Can I--?" she bings to ask.
"No," the pik-achu cuts her off.
The pich-chu, meanwhile, is fussily thrashing his little arms and crying out: "Stop calling me onii-chan!"

He was probably in as much disbelief as Iratu and only decided to hand down the death sentence after "shooting"

...also, she has that pendant

saying "oh...shit" would be an understatement here

Cherrypick? Bacon is a *favorable* example here! Groceries *overall* are up by that much in just a year!

You know, I think this might be the first post I've seen get ratio'd on bluesky this badly

after crashing the 2020 primary, do you really have to ask?

Frank Hightower 🐁 @frankhghtwr.bsky.social · 32m

no no, i think in that case it's "steak driving"

Frank Hightower 🐁 @frankhghtwr.bsky.social · 6h

and, for the record, I'm not a "no you can never take anything from any fox news network" kind of person (they are, sometimes, the only ones reporting local fires for example), but you gotta to know when to take it seriously, and when it's trying to "hook line and sinker" you

it's genuinely impressive Ekans was able to balance the cup on its rattle like that

it's almost like your identity doesn't affect your skills or vale as a person or something

(in case you're wondering, over and over it turns out it "plays" in the next room over, so while they don't "watch" it, they do "listen to" it)

Actual conversation I've had more times than I care to admit:
"Dude, you gotta stop watching Fox News"
"I don't watch Fox News!"
"You just quoted Fox News at me, your entire conversation is the structure of Fox News. You're deflecting in a way that only happens on Fox News"
"I don't watch Fox News!"

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com

Sexy list of megastructures

It's just a matter of practice (...and remembering the "undo" button takes 4 times as long)

Everything looked so promising back then... now I'm barely holding together

Frank Hightower 🐁 @frankhghtwr.bsky.social · 8h

what if they push you around with a finger when they ask?
"go on" *shove* "say it!"

Frank Hightower 🐁 @frankhghtwr.bsky.social · 8h

or is she small enough for the string alone to be a gag?

I didn't know how much I needed to see this ...until now

Ink would probably say "healing? Who said anything about healing?"

...to say you all need a hug... feels like an understatement

Frank Hightower 🐁 @frankhghtwr.bsky.social · 9h

wait... I hadn't seen that description before.

...I kind of envy the ability to define characters this well, to be honest

obviously, we need structures measured in miles *checks* Hmm, I was thinking, like, bridges, but the Boeing and Tesla factories are a mile on each side, might make good mattresses!
