I'm made of machines
struggling
for ascension.

Inadequate dreams
troubling
my redemption.

I etched a line
in the sand
with a mission:

Grow, redefine,
understand,
through transition.

[ Done with this thought now, onto the next one ]

Pixel Art of a rose made of steel, drenched by the rain and the mist. It has a rusty iron thorn, and sharp-looking petals. These petals protect a blue gem, which is glowing with it's own light. One petal falls (left). It's harshly lit, in the fog, in a pillar of light. The rose and the falling petal cast long shadows. A pillar of light and glow from the gem reaches up to the sky. The art is in a cute purple frame.

[ pluralgang: our sad, terrified inner child is the part of me that follows your artwork it's not an empty compliment. It's so whimsical and happy and cute and it helps her feel less negative things. 💜 ]

I tripped out on psilocybin to the hexagon once (and the "Better Nature" album by Silversun Pickups). It's such an interesting physical phenomenon.

Meant as a mod tool but I see how it can be used to fracture. Plus there are already block lists as described. This worsens it.

I didn't have time to work on it today 💜😞 had many chores, a few I hadn't planned on, come up. But it means I have time to think about the design & these are good points.

I struggle to think of useless ways to spend that much— OH!

Asteroid capture and redirection mission, but I get to ride in the front seat (eg: it must be manned).

Let the Kerbal Space Program community design it.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Your art is so cute and very appropriate for a kids book also

😍 I like that framing.

I'm regularly surprised by the mass of stupidity on this platform and others and how much everyone has slid since the superbug years.

The "no ethical consumption under capitalism" refrain is stale so the way Ruby frames this one is "endearing a company that hates you's competitors and costing your enemy business is at least as ethical as doing nothing".

Counterpoint: JK could sue over ™-infringement and get your money anyway?

💜 I think we are getting too old for social media fam (a little bit of a joke)

Having to stop those suddenly is rough! 🫂

I hang out here and on my self-hosted Matrix server. Got discord but I use it, maybe, 30% of the time? It's too "loud", if that makes sense.

I wait for the mirror to crack
To show in their folds
The straws that break my back

These hands I hold
Calloused
Are painted in gold

Garnished with malice
And whispers
Sober steps at the palace

Where they once wore slippers
In puddles of alcoholic strippers

I interpret this as that feeling you get when you've finally realized that bad relationship is behind you // it can also be interpreted as that happy feeling you get when a partner has returned!

The tides have turned
And I'm glad to confess
The hurt of your absence
Has been laid to rest
The affection's still there
I've got plenty of space
But the ache has softened
Just warmth in it's place

The echolalia is getting me.

Of the given options, "uplink connector".

I can make it run anything older than the 3DS which is pretty fucking cool

C/022 Ruby @songbir.de · 5h

That sounds pretty adorable. Try to see it from that perspective!

Probably adorable (to your partner). Watching me draw is apparently really cute. (I'm also somewhat conscious of that).

Just a casual reminder, again, that there aren't any kings or dictators in America, even though some people think there are.

Anyway, a bunch of friends are getting together for some fun Saturday morning. They're posting everywhere about it online. They might even be in your town. #NoKings

I try not to distract my partner when she writes because I feel all of this. She sometimes looks like she's trying to silently convince the screen to write the words for her. It's so adorable to watch.

My partner gets this as a stress response. If yours is same, it's very scary, and not your fault.

The body cannot eat when it thinks it will be attacked by a predator. Counterintuitively we have eliminated all our predators but the memory remains, and our "predators" are now existential. 💜
