The Dexter El (the Dexter by Design)

www.youtube.com/shorts/B5VMc... Something to keep me grounded while I try not to die of stress.

There'd be plenty of nerds working out their anger issues through therapeutic flying, if the theory holds.

Keeping this for future reference. If we put this in our own brains, will we or our descendants look like Illithids? Maybe I won’t mind so much: A mind(flayer) is a terrible thing to waste.

Works for me. 👍

How it's going.

Phone got snatched a little over an hour ago. I've logged out of socials but it'll take a while to lock down the device and replace it. If you get weird messages, they're likely not from me. Update you all in a few days.

Makes sense. If this adaptation developed independently, it wouldn't necessarily be positioned in the usual (mammalian) places. That insects have "ears" is amazing. But I am really feeling uncomfortable with where they wound up.

Posting to keep myself accountable. The goal is 9 to 12 paintings before mid month in June. I’m done with 1. I have 2 on easels in the early stages. I expect faster output when I get to the non-representational stuff.

The thing about painting in the summer in the 2020s where I live… it can’t be done comfortably. But I ain’t keen on being in a sealed air conditioned room where I get to smell all the solvents and painting media. So the work happens at night. In the heat. The work is crawling like a snail.

You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2. A few warnings: Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is. Absolutely /do not/ lick it. Keep far away from any Supermen. If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts. Let's talk about the science here.

The adventure I’ve always wanted to run has this for a theme song. youtu.be/5A_3M6pkMls?...

Let's start with a BIG QUESTION: Why is the ocean salty? The answer, of course: They tried making it *peppery*, but it made all the fish sneeze. Dad jokes aside, what's the answer? To start, the ocean wasn't ALWAYS salty. When it first formed in the Archean, from water vapor, it was freshwater.

I got sweet talked into making four more paintings on top of the five I’m already working on. Welp. Micro sleeps daily until late June.

Speak not of the lobster, lest Jordan Peterson appear.

Some paintings came back from the framer, but I'll need to find another one. I appreciate the quality and the price tag, but they take an entire month to accomplish an order. Most days I'm fine with that, but I need paintings framed a tad more quickly. I'm already losing sleep just making them.

Dropping by to remind you that if you're in Atlanta this week, you can SAY HI to me IN PERSON! I will be giving out epic hugs & hobbling around on an injured foot! 🤣

This maybe introduces an expensive wrinkle in the plans of folks who intend to clone themselves ad infinitum (on top of the problems of copying adult minds onto a cloned nervous system). Take that, decrepit billionaires.

Good luck!

Topical Dad Joke of the Day: The Irish have developed a giant knife for cutting several soda breads at a time. It's a four loaf cleaver. #DJotD

I don’t want it in my games. (And now I won’t be able to sleep until I find out what happened to this actor after his iconic role in Gundam 0079: the War for Earth.)

This… is a kit I won’t be able to properly assemble. Turns out some key polycaps are missing. I might need to buy the same kit again. Or build one or more of my other kits and hope that I can use spare polycaps they might have. Oof. Gonna get back to exercise & painting in a bit. Still lots to do.

You'll be judged enough by others for the quantity and quality of the harvest (or lack thereof). No need to add to your anxiety yourself. Just plant the seeds and nurture them.

I begin to see the likely end of my filmmaking arc. But if there's anything I've learned from the trinity of Wiseau, Nguyen, & Breen, it's you can't go thru life creatively constipated. You do what you can to push out the sh— er, work. The only way forward is through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVuQ...

Go geddit, voice actors.

Join us this Saturday in the observer seat, as @brookchalmersvo.bsky.social leads our actors in a workshop! 💪😤 - Learn what working with Brook is like - Observe (i.e. steal) techniques and strong choices - Get a better understanding of video game characters (and the expectations) RedScythe.com

Comfort is the silent thief. It doesn't steal your time - it steals your hunger. Beware the #lethargy that feels like peace but tastes like surrender. #vss365

No lies detected. Good night!

I always did appreciate a red moon, and my sojourns on Krynn only cemented that (It's a D&D thing). I did wonder why they tended to be red when eclipsed by the Earth, but I was just happy to see one when I could. I've maybe seen 2 or so over the years. This post is a treat for me.
