Me? Drawing my own OCs?!
It's more likely than you think!

I drew this yesterday in the late evening and am now noticing I forgot her tusks... 🙃

• Open sketchbook showing an ink and watercolor drawing with strong shadows and messy brushstrokes. It shows a female orc down to her belly. She is looking towards the viewer with a grin that promises nothing good. The back of her hands frame her face, arms positioned horizontally. Her hair flows behind her, along the shape of her horns. Cables are wrapped around her chest and flowing behind her. (remote)

Third Planet's lawsuit against the Crowne Plaza is a marvel of clear legal writing, but that's not all - it's *also a comic book illustrating the store's complaint*, starting on P6.

I've read a lot of legal briefs, but this one is literally a work of art.

Pretty nifty idea. Honestly we need this at the X/Wayland level too, as an ever increasing amount of FOSS programmers see telemetry as too valuable to not to use.

I rather, we just didn't? But a single universal method of opting out of it platform wide, might be a decent compromise point.

Maybe some sort of freedesktop.org standard for graphical apps?

While I was making/uploading this video she wanted to go 2 more times.

(Too big for Mastodon, sorry.)

Video description: a grey tabby cat wants to come into the bedroom through the window, and is pawing through the slight opening. Once the window is unlocked and opened, she just flops on the window sill.

Catlis is fascinated by the window that offers a passageway between the bedroom and balcony.
She must know that it's the same room that she can reach by more human-conventional means, but now she was putting her paw through, trying to open it from the balcony side.

Don't know what car drivers think about the traffic circles that are ubiquitous here, but they're nice for us bicyclists. Almost never have to stop when the bike road crosses the car road at the arms of such a circle.

bitcoin is a psychoeconomic predator that controls the minds of capitalist subjects and causes us to behave destructively and convert the world into as much bitcoin substrate as possible. most capitalist mind-predators do this with an indirect reward mechanism but bitcoin has shorted the circuit to become the purest, most efficient hyperorganism yet to stalk humanity. our species has almost no ability to resist this new predator

But, yeah, it's disappointing.

Hmm, when I was developing FeoBlog, a couple people asked "Does it support ActivityPub?"

It doesn't, because of a different data model & feature set, but I just realized that Mastodon's API is probably a lot more permissive than the cursed birdsite, so it might be easy to write something to translate between the two services.

I've recently been enjoying writing #TypeScript in #Deno, so hmm, this could be a fun project. :)

I've decided to clear up the ongoing confusion and rename the "New Atheists" the "Smug Atheists". Much more accurate and useful.

I can never find it, but back during all those clown sightings there was an article where a sheriff was telling people not to worry because "he believed it wasn't real clowns, just people in clown outfits" and I think about that all the time
