I had an ancestor whose name was approximately Dmklysxwtyjkjsty (but more consonants) and it got changed to Jones bc the immigration official probably got confused twelve consonants in.

Grabbed snacks for a road trip from a boujee corner store and almost drove off the interstate when the beef jerky I bought was the texture and flavor of repurposed roadkill toad mixed with cheap cat food and fake smoke flavor. Turns out it was vegan.

Looking up “dragon fitness” / “dragon poi” and considering that I might need one.

Awww thank you! Means a lot coming from someone SO GOOD and actually familiar with the scene! Here’s the Atari with a hand for scale. Also the dumpster which is my favorite thing!

3D printed and realistically painted TMNT diorama, this is a closeup of a replica Atari console and tv with space invaders on the screen

3D printed and painted tmnt diorama. This is a closeup of the dumpster which has in my not humble opinion some epic texturing on it.

What incredible work!!
(I’m going to post the diorama I did for a contest that no one liked bc I went realistic because you might enjoy it)

Painted 3D printed diorama of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. This one has Splinter eating ramen on a seriously beat up couch.

Painted 3D printed diorama of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. This pic has a stack of pizza, the very disreputable couch, and is showing that the turtles and the goo on the floors glow under black light.

Painted 3D printed diorama of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. This is the view from the above cutaway with the fire hydrant periscope and dumpster I’m super proud of. Turtles do turtle things with skateboards, swords, and books.

Death is a promise made to us when we are born.

It’s our get out of jail free card. One I’d prefer to use after a long, healthy, and happy life obviously!

My students once asked me why I kept making dark jokes throughout the semester. I told them straight up that it was how I coped with The Horrors.

That and getting very, very good with a sword.

(I guess a thing about being a Black ADHD-haver living through an era of fascism which has been enabled by the exact things you've spent years studying and trying to warn about is at least maybe occasionally your brain might turn the persistent horror into decent comedy)

I read that as sentience fascists.

Flip your head upside down for 15 seconds after the squirts, it helps it not drain down your throat. It will still taste bad but not as awful.

And ask older relatives any questions you can think of. “Was uncle Juggy really a harmonica player for Metallica?” It sucks when there’s no one left to ask.

here's my take: I think humans are really fucking good. inherently. I think we are amazingly kind and giving. and everything about the world we live in is an attempt to stop us from being that. I think our societies step in to stop us from being good. I think our culture punishes us. but we ARE good

I’m trying to promote “touch concrete”.

Because look, people don’t always have pretty nature to go to, but getting out of the house and offline for a minute helps.
Touch concrete.

(And yes, I know you’re doing great work to bring nature to concrete!)

I had SO MUCH to learn as a self-taught game designer. Just wanted to jump in with how right you are that adaptive and assistive design has to happen from the beginning! My current game I’m making I’m constantly thinking about controls and flickering lights and difficulty settings and so much more.

How many million to live in a stable?

ZubZub @zubzub.bsky.social · 12d

YAY!!! 😁

I have never been! I tend to conflate the city with the region and its humidity and heat - most people I’ve known who’ve traveled or lived there were at the beaches. I’m a highlands girl: SMA, Guanajuato, Querétaro (though its industrial), and I need to go check out Cuernavaca.
