Well, to be honest I thought when I finally saw a flying car I'd think it was cool, same as we felt when watching Back to the Future. Now it feels sad, scammy, and unlikeable. Ugh, talk about living in the worst timeline!

I feel like I have forgotten how to breathe normally, particularly when trying to sleep. Was that too deep? Is my rhythm too fast? Ah, now I'm doing it too slow. Maybe if I do it a little more shallow it will feel normal? No, turns out it didn't...

Hello, Bluesky!! Today it’s my birthday! 💖🥳 I’m very happy and feel like a princess! 💖 Here is some colourful art to mark the day, would appreciate any repost but I appreciate you if you don’t repost too!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

But have you seen the posts and videos from the Department of Homeland Security?

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

I find it extremely funny that the most popular piece of content I've ever created was an Instagram comment. Not artwork, not original posts. No, a comment.

Unless something changes drastically, this is my goodbye to animation. Well, it was a good run: 20 years doing what I love are almost a lifetime. Occasionally I was exploited, underpaid, unappreciated, but I loved every second as an animator. I guess it will become a hobby. I'm wiping a tear.

Well, professional pivots are here. I'm not sure I'm prepared, but fear can be a powerful booster force. I bet my dad would be proud, he wanted me to be a doctor. At least now I'll be First Aid prepared.

If you've been lapsing in your commitment to buying Canadian, it's time to triple down. As much as 'no deal is better than a bad deal' is true, this is gonna hurt.

So I did this one and didn't outright hate it. I think that's better, right? I still don't know WHAT I'd like to do, but I guess that's a problem for future me. The knight tho? I don't think he's enjoying this particular moment.

During the panel this app called Foxglove was mentioned. Similarly to Glaze and Nightshade it poison your art for scrapers, with the advantage that you don’t have to download a program locally to do that and the process is super quick online. foxgloveapp.com

Close second choice: "This is the Master-ring, the One Ring to rule them all. This is the One Ring that he lost many ages ago, to the great weakening of his power. He greatly desires it — but he must not get it." "Fuck," said Frodo.

It looks like we may be getting a very nice surprise soon.

A developer made a browser extension called "Knockoff" that shows what a wasteland Amazon truly is by filtering out brands like "GODONLIF" "EHEYCIGA," ROTTOGOON," and sponsored products. Useful and illustrative even if you don't use Amazon www.404media.co/knockoff-bro...

Yesterday I saw Masters of the Universe, and it was sooooo much fun!! Lots of funny moments, lots of cheesy nods to the past, and a great dude to play He-Man. Thumbs up.

Happy belated birthday repost!

Dan English@danenglish.bsky.social

I missed my own birthday on here yesterday 🤦🏻 but! If you wanted to share my art and help me get to 3k followers, that would make my week 💙

However, I'd like to note that protecting pedophiles is not a deal breaker for Republican voters, as exemplified by their defense of the Molester in Chief.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Talarico: Ken Paxton let a pedophile back onto our streets. Adam Hoffman should have served 25 years to life in prison, but instead served less than 29 days. And that's because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein style sweetheart deal.

It's my birthday today!! seeing as I now officially left my 20s behind, I heard I could get some shares for my art as a treat? 👀💕 #MyArt

I've come to realize I don't know the comic book characters anymore. They're all new to me, and even the familiar names have surprising new looks that hint at fully unknown storylines. It makes me a bit sad, to be honest. I'm so dull now.

Happy birthday!!

I'm 29 today! I haven't done #artvsartist in a while, so here it is :) Big thank you to everyone who supports me by sharing my work🤍 Maybe this year I will be lucky enough to do some paleoart work (if anyone wants to recommend me as an artist btw.. wink wink) #paleoart #sciart and some #fanart ofc

You know what bothers me? I've seen articles sayin' Republicans are abandoning the Evil Cheeto. Maybe, but they're only doing so because their wallets hurt. Racism as policy? Good. Cruel immigration circus? Ok with that. Destruction of science and government? Fine by them. They're still assholes
