It's been a while since I posted any of my writing for #InsertAnInvert2024, but the "Subterranean" theme is perfect for "An Awaited Hero" - featuring a giant slug who's read too many Arthurian romances. www.patreon.com/posts/107629...

Not quite what they mean for #InsertAnInvert2024 by a subterranean #invertebrate but nonetheless an animal that spends a considerable amount of its lifecycle below ground. 🐡🧪🌿 This is a small handmade linocut print of a large, well-loved, well-known insect with a long song.

Good news: seems like my WebGlaze invites now refresh every Saturday instead of every month.

bsky artists, I can generate WebGlaze invites. Yes, the thing you've been on the waiting list for (they're swamped). They top up my invites every month on the 15th, so let's use this month's invite in 2 days. DM me if you want in. All I need is proof that you do your own art.

About 4 hours today on detail for the "fingers".

I made the mistake of rewatching that JWST video (that came out a week after I started this) and decided I wanted more accurate detail. Another 5 hours today. #sciart

Thresher sharks use the upper lobe of their caudal fin, which can be as long as the rest of the shark, as a whip to stun prey fishes!

What's with the super long upper tails some sharks have?

At the emergency vet with the dog. Sigh. (It's not immediate life or death, but scheduled appointments are like 2 weeks out and this probably needs attention within the next day or so.) It's also like $200 just to be here, so it anyone wants to throw some money my way patreon.com/BlueAppaloosa

it's kinda rude how people keep recommending banger games to me i just reduced my steam wishlist to under 100 this summer sale season and it shot back to 100 in less than a day

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

Yesterday, I shared this same Canada Day thread on Bluesky, Threads, and X. Here's what I found. 🧵

“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear. In a nutshell, NO. We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb! #canadaday
