I previously had my Mastodon account bridged to this platform, but thought I'd give hanging out here a shot, as opposed to having my posts mirrored.

About me: I like to draw on paper, I live on a sailboat in the Salish Sea, I love seabirds, making comics, and fermenting vegetables.
a sketchbook open to a page filled with panels for a comic. The art is drawn using pencils and a ballpoint pen, and featured two pointy-eared characters walking through the woods. a sketchbook page showing illustrated sea birds having a conversation using the phonetic alphabet. a self-published book named Wiktopher, the cover features a giant, long legged creature walking in the desert on all fours. A small sailboat(sandfin) is sailing in the sand, going in the opposite direction.

Microsoft's agentic OS is broken. Shocker.

Why not take the time to make a product that works well and that people can depend on?

In 2015 my partner and I started Hundred Rabbits, we've since sailed 23,559 NM(43,631 km), visited released 3 books, 9 tools, 7 games, and many more miscellaneous projects.

Today is our studio's 10 year anniversary 🐇🎉! Here is to many more years producing art while on the water!
rek is looking from over a divider inside the cabin of a sailboat. The view is from the navigation table, with a small lamp lighting up some papers, and an open laptop with a tablet sitting there. Day light is shining in from the sailboat's many large windows.

I like to sew in my free time ^^.

I made these arm warmers out of an old sweater yesterday. They're super soft and comfy.

My hands get cold a lot aboard my boat in the winter, so this helps.

My 2013 Macbook Air's power cord is so worn that the cover has split open near the connector. I covered it with heat shrink.
I do have a backup cord, but I like to extend the use of a thing for as long as possible ^^.

So grateful for the NPD's Dental Care Plan(CDCP). Just went to the dentist for the first time with 100% coverage :).
Up until this point I'd been paying visits out of pocket and it was making a big dent in my wallet each time. This makes such a big different to people like me.

I dressed up as Barrel(Nightmare Before Christmas) for Halloween.

Made an origami paper mask, paper bones(stuck on my clothes), and made some 3-toed feet out of an old pair of pants my mom was no longer using.

Recently I had a good week-long run where I had tons of social energy, during which start following people on here, taking part in conversations, sharing work, etc. It is exciting, energizing, and fun, but then eventually I run out of stamina and I've got nothing to give.

How to find north, south, east and west using celestial bodies.

See the rest of the explanation on Rabbit Waves:
rabbitwaves.ca/site/celesti...

#celestialnavigation #sailing #art #solarpunk
A star compass showing where all of the stars rise and set, including the sun. By memorizing the rising and setting positions of many stars sailors can find out where they are in the world. They act as a compass. List of stars and their constellations: Caph II (Cassiopeia), Merak (Ursa Major), Capella (Auriga), Deneb (Cygnus), Vega (Lyra), Castor (Gemini), Polluz (Gemini), Alcyone (Taurus), Arcturus (Bootes), Alderbaran (Taurus), Regulus (Lego), Altair (Aquila), Betelgeuse (Orion), Procyon (Canis Minor), Mintaka (Orion), Rigel (Orion), Spica (Virgo), Sirius (Canis Major), Minkar (Corvus), Formalhaul (Piscis Austrinus), Shaula (Scorpio), Canopus (Capina), Becrux (Southern Cross), and Acrux (Southern Cross). For those in the northern hemisphere, the most important star is Polaris(North Star). It burns bright in the sky and sits directly in the north (within 1 degree of the celestial north pole). If you can find Polaris in the sky, then you know where north is. Polaris stays where it is while the rest of the stars move overhead. If you look north following a compass you'll find Polaris.<br>How do you find Polaris without a compass? 1. Find the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major) 2. Use the Big Dipper's pointer stars to find the Little Dipper (part of Ursa Minor). 3. Polaris sits on the tail end of the Little Dipper. A graphic showing the little dipper, with Polaris at the end of the laddle, with a line leading straight towards the big dipper and its two pointer stars, Dubhe and Merak. Finding the Big Dipper first is easier because it is bright and big. The Little Dipper is somewhat dim and more difficult to locate. Polaris is part of a group of stars named The Little Dipper, shaped like a bent laddle. If you follow Merak and Dubhe, the 2 stars making up the farthest edge of the Big Dipper's bowl in a straight line, you'll find the Little Dipper.
