The "False or misleading statements by Donald Trump" Wikipedia article is at 770 citations; it's under constant edit and so long it has a warning 🫠

THANK YOU @wikipedia.org for protecting information against AI slop and propaganda. Everyone who can should donate!

Rattober days 5-7! We're getting weird :)

Day 5: Stinky rat
Day 6: Ratio
Day 7: Steamer rat

Having a bit of travel posting more than three images right now, so I'm omitting the prompt list - but you can check it out on my past posts or over on Instagram :)

Especially proud of this one
:) Howl as Morpheus in Sandman. (Still love the art, though the author can take a hike)

For Rattober day 4: Dream

I'm going to start cross-posting some of my favorite daily sketches from Cara, I like Bluesky and want to keep contrituting over here!

This was inspired by “If I Must Die", written by Refaat Alareer, who was murdered by Israel in Gaza alongside his siblings and their children on December 6, 2023.

My weekend doodling project has been this scene of fishing with Maurice, who is probably a badger.

I'm still fighting with the tablet a bit, but did manage to get into a rhythm. My digital linework leaves a lot to be desired, someday maybe I'll crack getting some of the 'soul' of pencil in digital.

Finally got to attend a figure drawing session at @hipboneartstudio.bsky.social - it was a super welcoming crowd and a great model. :)

Trying to turn some of our evening couch time into sketch time.

I have lost a lot of my confidence sketching; it is frustrating to remember my hands when they knew what they were doing far better, but it is satisfying to shake some of the rust off.

Nothing beats practice.

A little bit of rat art does wonders to get my head out of the news 💚🐀🎨

Surprised how happy this non-AI disclosure makes me 😌

For the record, rats are great and don't willingly associate with neoliberalism 🐀💚🐀

YES I saw those too when I was there last week!

I want to apologize for the lack of cute rat content. The fall of the thin veneer of democracy I'd become accustomed to has me a bit distracted.

In compensation please accept these artistic marvels by our resident #skyrats, Rory, Jimmy, Slime Mold, and Rogue 💚🐀🌈

Right, it is on the PDF which most people don't know how or care to remove; Since it is on every page of and not easy to disable, I would definitely seek a PDF without it if I was routinely reading these.

I think as a way to inform/assure casuals like me it works, but it is annoying to read around!

I tried to make a top down 2d rat customizer once, but never finished it 😂 character customizers are sooo time consuming!

Howl has been having partial seizures; he went into ER yesterday and is at the vet today.

Here's hoping it is an infection or something and not a pituitary tumor, but we are prepared for the worst 🤞✨🐀❤️‍🩹

Sadly Statler can no longer eat comfortably, and we are saying goodbye tonight.

It's always tempting to ride it out a little longer, but after the rapid growth post surgery and two types of unsuccessful chemo we'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to his comfort.

We love you little buddy 💚

Statler's chemo isn't going well, but he still enjoys his time on the couch with Waldorf.

A couple handsome old men hanging out ❤️‍🩹🐀✨
