Finished the repairs on a cross pane hammer I forged 2 years ago for a blacksmithing event at the museum. The original steel had cracked, so I cut it off and welded on a new piece. Seems to be holding up alright. I carved the handle from a piece of ash I’d been drying.

My air conditioner has broken during an extreme heat warning, which is not ideal! If you'd like to help me out AND get some great art, I'm running a sale on my shop right now with code "HEAT" (25% off your order!) The discount applies to mini commissions, prints, and originals! eiffel.art/store

I swam a bunch and then passed out for like two hours. idk why I'm built like this

Adding onto this: You can reiterate on ideas YEEEEARS down the line. You can steal ideas from a younger you, you can remake, rehash, reuse, recycle things you did before but didn't do "quite right" too!!! Reuse a sketch or even a finished piece! Who would even know!!!

Abandoning a WIP doesn’t mean you're giving up. It's okay to pick it up later when the time feels right, or your skills feel more suited.

it's hard to take tornado warnings seriously when we get a lot during the summer nowadays and yet they hardly ever touch down also our basement is pretty gross and it's difficult to find the will go wait down there for an hour until the warning expires :")

As a 501c3 corporation, the Heritage Foundation is not allowed to participate in politics, much less publish manifestos. Download the Project 2025 pdf from their website & attach it to IRS Form 13909 and challenge their tax exempt status. Here's their EIN # 23-7327730 And instructions (email!)

IRS Complaint Process - Tax-Exempt Organizations | Internal Revenue Servicewww.irs.gov If you suspect a tax-exempt organization is not complying with the tax laws, you may send information to the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division.

If someone makes a thing and posts it online and you slither in to say how it could be better, how you would have done it differently, you realise that's real "fart in an elevator" territory, right?

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

To me this discussion about copyright has a very similar snag as the discussions about ai: the idea is not the important part Creators are not copyrighting *ideas*. We're copyrighting our *work* and *labor* that it took to make the thing in the first place.

August 5 the Nassau County Leg will vote on if they will forcibly infect people. #NoNYMaskBan

Do we have anyone in Nassau? They’re trying to pass a mask ban and there’s a hearing in Mineola Monday. Take action from home too— covidadvocacyny.org/nassau #NoNYMaskBan ht @covidadvocacy.bsky.social

Jailed for wearing a COVID mask? Yes, that is literally what could happen if the NY Mask Ban goes through which would make "deceptive mask wearing" a class b misdemeanor. TAKE ACTION: covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny #NoNYMaskBan #COVIDIsntOver #WearAMask #MaskUp #Disability

Found these conics that @bharts.bsky.social drew for our first anniversary. The first one was me sleep talking while half-asleep and the last one is very hyper specific to the Swedish language and New York State. Happy 8th anniversary älskling 💕

General reminder: make sure to disable Copilot via Local Group Policy on your Windows devices. Note that the Local Group Policy Editor MMC snap-in (gpedit.msc) is only available on Windows 11 Pro so for Windows 11 Home you'll have to create the registry key manually.

The finished cover! I did not think this cover was going to work until I threw down those finishing touches. Now I'm in love with it 😍 #art #comics #webcomics #kuroshouri

I am just finding out that a word that's been passed down through the generations of my family may not even be a thing?? it's "poozley", which we've always used to mean like...pitiful/not looking too good/droopy (in the case of plants)

I've been doing some learning about failed or failing states over the past week or so, and, kids, you absolutely do not want cycles of partisan violence. They're really hard to stop when they get started, and they seldom end the way you want them to.

If your win10 install is pushing Copilot on you: 1. Run PowerShell as Administrator 2. Paste: Get-AppxPackage *CoPilot* -AllUsers | Remove-AppPackage -AllUsers 3. Press Enter (There will not be any output if it is successfully removed) 4. Reboot Repost to save a life

I went to a social gathering this evening despite really not wanting to go anywhere earlier. ended up being a lot of fun and also a much better place to be than on the internet
