Staying updated on socials has been tough lately but I'm still out here filling orders for y'all and making my art 💕 #Beadwork #Mvskoke #Indigenous #Jewelry #Native #Art

#Godot help please: can I combine 2 variables into a third? Example: mood = happy age = baby status = happy baby (or "happybaby", either is fine) It feels like it should be simple but I'm searching and just getting nowhere. (Please note I am very, very beginner.)

(I'm sure I'm doing things the wrong way in general because at the moment to get the correct animation I need a whole tree of "Is it this age? Is it this mood? Is it this direction?". If I could just make one variable, and tell it "Go fetch me this", then...)

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

Nisha I don't know what you did, but your brother is in TK Maxx buying the loudest toy known to toddlerkind while his friend points out you're going to kill him. Be nice to your little brothers. They grow up to be uncles with Xmas presents...

Drops are going to only get more rare. I've had to take on a full-time job. So I won't be able to do as many as I have before. So if you want a set. This is one of the rare chances. Mark your calendar! #ttrpg #dnd #dice

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

Given current climate it is nice to see a bit of obvious welcome. (I want one. My housemate says they scare her like Furbies. If am thinking if I put her on Marketplace I would have room for *many* robot.) #Ortomi #Robots #LGBT

Throw away old seasoning ... Seasoning is not like the blood of the lamb... they do expire they even have expiration dates on them

The problem with letting Mamdani play when no-one is using it is he's going to do things like "notice under-utilised capacity" and "improve the community" and next thing you know there's underprivileged teenagers attending summer events and staying out of trouble. Chaos. Madness. Anarchy. Etc.

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I am very tired and completely misunderstood this as meaning "change name and reuse", so you could go from work to family to party. (No, it's non-disposable ones, cute options in comments.)

we should all just have a reusable name tag that we carry around

I've seen some fascinating moments in fandom where people have *zero* knowledge outside of the stuff they watch. I'm trying not to sound like a dick pointing it out but they're writing essays on the meaning of a line, with zero clue it's a reference to something hugely popular/foundational.

One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.

I had a request for a lifeguard cat. I wouldn't rely on them to actually save your life though.😬

Shout if you're a historian potentially interested in coming on for this one. i want to cover the discussions on repatriation, changes to headstones and Anglican ritual, and post-war grave tourism and grave photography services. @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social your wheelhouse maybe?

John Bull@garius.eurosky.social

i really want to do a pod episode on the emotional mechanics of post-war rememberance. the logistics and architecture are both fascinating, but we don't talk enough about its impact on both national and personal approaches to grief.

Who wants to take home a little magic? I know things have been quiet, unfortunately I'm recovering from being quite ill so stock is limited. But I do have some pendants listed and ready to travel: oishiny.etsy.com #Handmade #ShopSmall

I need a cat just so something gets me to bed when I'm trying to "Just one more thing..." (I did unstick one bit I was stuck on with Godot. But that's not work. I need to do something to bring in orders ASAP.)

Are my drawings good? No. Am I going to produce anything you could really call a game? No. But I am determined to actually make something, start to finish, no matter how basic. Feed blob, watch blob hop about. Can go from there. (In fairness, I lost a month to whatever that was, so.)

(I'm pretty sure I'm doing this the least practical way possible, I'm kludging together 2 tutorials, and there's no way the result is how you're *actually* meant to do it. But if it works, it works.)
