Mostly I just miss when Batman used to get his ass kicked regularly. If anyone was foolish enough to let me write Batman, he would lose every other fight.

Here's what I doodled tonight 🥰
Will likely stream tomorrow too, because I seriously need to get into the habit of drawing again for this book. The situation is serious, but the drawings are not.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.
Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support and instead requests folks that want to help to donate to the local organizations of your choice!

there comes the time in the life of an adult where the potential of a Kitchenmaid stand mixer is within their grasp.
Find for me the best decorative mods and motifs, since one does not require multiple colors of such an appliance.

Reposting out of a response thread to remind US people: if you make people mad on the internet, it is a VERY worthwhile investment to add an umbrella policy to your homeowners' or renters' insurance. I recommend a $2m per incident minimum; we increased ours to $5m recently just in case.
This is part of why I *strongly* recommend anyone who makes assholes on the internet mad a lot should have a umbrella liability policy added to their homeowners' or renters' insurance, with a minimum coverage of $2m per incident, although we just increased ours to $5m just in case.

But DANG did it chafe when I debuted and people were categorizing Chef's Kiss as sapphic. Ray was on the page as saying they were masc nonbinary! They hated being lumped in with women. But it happened anyway bc some people need that black-or-white: sapphic or achillean. When Queer is right there?

But tonight Lv1 is alive and in the west
highlands with his herd. It is a perfect
winter evening: the moon rising over
the ice fields, the snow in the wind.
And as he stares into the skybox, there
is 1/50th as much health as usual.
