I forgot about elevation adjustments. I just wanted to make some simple chocolate cupcakes for my family as a thank you but they look like poo 😭

At least they taste good 🫠

Chocolate cupcakes. The frosting looks like the poo emoji on most of them. The foremost cupcake has a sad face in frosting.

The coyotes sang us to sleep and the eagles chittered at us awake. It's nice to be on the road again.

The detail and overall vibe is gorgeous! I thought for a sec this was a fun concept for an Aurora skin from lol.

Honestly I'd probably only get a couple dollars for them. Used book stores don't offer much and one already passed on them. I'd rather these books go to someone who would enjoy them than hpb

Aww, they never got back to me. I was so looking forward to fucking with this scammer.

T Porterhawk @tporterhawk.bsky.social · 9d

This is most assuredly a scam. However, I desire to be entertained.

Sender: I am Emily from Kelly Sevies. Are you still available to work?

Me: Yes but my rates have doubled, or tripled depending on the size of the carcass.

happy #fossilfriday! this is panderodus, a jawless fish that lived between the middle ordovician and the late devonian. the species p. unicostatus was one of the few vertebrates of the silurian period to hunt large prey
(art by mightyfossils)

a reconstruction of two panderodus, which are related to lampreys and hagfish, and have large, curved and serrated fangs lining their jawless mouths. extremely spoopy

I've used this ink and it's more difficult to clean than shimmer inks. Now I only use it with a dip pen to save my fountain pens, but it does work beautifully for things like addressing envelopes and solid lines with watercolor projects

This is Spud, he is the quintessential dumb orange cat with a charisma score through the roof. He works* at a ski area lodge.

*No he doesn't, he just lives there. His sister Maple is the working cat. Spud is too pretty to catch mice.

An orange cat lying on his side on a wood brick before a fireplace. He's partially showing his belly but that is clearly a trap.

I'm not a sims player but I feel for the folks who are. This really sucks because the game has been so inclusive and a safe space for so many people to express themselves.

Honestly I'm not surprised ea sold out, but now for sure I'll never buy one of their titles again.

Here are some more of the "ice dunes".

These don't have icebergs for scale, but it felt surreal watching the waves, as they looked like sand dunes.

The katabatic winds moving the pancake ice freezing the sea.

Taken between 10pm - 1130pm 20/2/2024.

Terranova Bay, Ross Sea, #Antarctica 🪶🦋🌿

A landscape that looks like a beach with sand hills, but it is pancake ice golden in the late night sunlight.

A landcape that looks like a desert, with golden brown sand dunes, but it is pancake ice moving waves in a semi freezing sea. The late night sun turns the ice sand brown.

Another landcape that looks like a sandy desert. In the foreground the pancake ice is visible. The late night sun turns the pancake ice brown, adn the waves create shadows like dunes.

I went to 4 different apple orchards yesterday why does everybody hate caramel apples?

I had a dream last night in which I was at a doctor's office and somehow we started talking about trrpgs and it ended with me running a game for a doctor a nurse and a tech for like 2 hours before they had to go back to dealing with patients. They were like "same time next week?" And I woke up.

#SpacetoberChallenge day 15: #BlackHole - one I did last year but I like how it came out (and it sure does shimmer in the light!)

GRAVITY SWALLOWS LIGHT by Danielle Rose Baker. A pearlescent watercolor painting on black paper of a black hole, shown with black center ringed by metallic silver paint, which swirls clockwise outwards in ribbons of reds, oranges, pinks and golds, with tinges of black.

I'm not this year, but I'll definitely be eyeing everyone's swatches for any colors I might want. I'm just trying to downsize everything and I'm already overwhelmed by having so many bottles from last year

I'm just trying to get some writing done while my windshield is being replaced. I did not come here to be so viciously attacked

A text conversation between op and partner:

Op: Free refills on black coffee
Partner: Ooooo what a good way to learn the language that electricity speaks
Op: wait
Op: are you making fun of me
Op: how dare

When writing my a fight scene nothing is more convenient than having swords lying around the house and a person to help choreograph.

Related, I threw a pillow at my partner like 5 times this morning 😅

T Porterhawk @tporterhawk.bsky.social · 22d

I've gotten the double jab. Now I need to hurry up and make food for the next couple days before I start feeling like shit.
