I thought I'd convinced myself I wouldn't be buying another sewing then this little tramp scrolls by

WIP of my Ampharos magnets. I plan to make the pink shiny variant as well. The shiny here is based on the Gen2 sprite, which looks more like a silvery or grayish pale purple color.

I sold enough of my hand-sewn felt Pokemon magnets to buy one of the Typhlosion cards for my Neo Genesis set it's not much, but it's honest work

Today's mood is: the exhausted zucchini doing its best at the farmer's market.

DO NOT APPLY TO OR ATTEND THIS SHOW. I don't care if it's in your backyard. You can bet that every convention runner is watching this and the bad ones are salivating at this idea of $150 application fees, plus jacked up booth rates. If it works for this show, they WILL try it at theirs.

Imagine the sound of me audibly blinking. aslkdjfh I hope more doujin, small press, and zine events get super active and successful and then the big cons have to look at each other, scratch their heads a little bit, and stop fleecing broke artists/only allowing space for ones that can take the hit.

we have thousands of potential dolly partons and tim curries already walking amongst us. most of them are begging for rent money or getting crushed at a shitty job

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?

"actually, the point is--" bold of you to assume that the "point" is lost on me I don't care what the "point" is, the topic of discussion is still (imo) objectively boring/bland

in the notes of the recipe for a banana cream latte, "if you don't like banana, you can use an avocado" and to that I say, "if you don't like banana, why the fuck are you looking for a recipe for a banana cream latte?"

tried the "hack" where you use a tub of Trader Joe's lobster bisque as a base to make a seafood pasta dish not bad! I added way more spices/herbs and used salmon instead of lobster/crab and added some parmesan cheese and it turned out okay would make again with more ingredients/spices

Never let anything or anyone convince you that you're too old for whimsy and fun.

I TOOK MY 90 YEAR OLD NEIGHBOUR TO AN ANIME CONVENTION! Her first con ever!

back in my day, we could buy pokiemanz booster packs readily available at Walmart and even if we were disappointed we didn't get that damn Charizard, we were still happy to add those cards to our collections and/or trade amongst ourselves based on what we liked and not arbitrarily decided $ value

I need everyone to behold this specimen I acquired at @foragervintagepdx.bsky.social this weekend. Flawless. Very good. He has witnessed the horrors and now will live amongst my army of amphibious tchotchkes.

truly thankful for this little goblin blessing our home after Banana and Bashi passed earlier this year we still miss them both terribly but it's easier with this mischievous little critter squeaking at us

We were poor growing up so we had to buy abridged manga. I only got to read The Gist of The North Star

IDK man, the mileage for the Dratini ain't even listed, how can u even begin to tell me it's comparable to a 1967 Mercury Cougar

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations • Water usage will be limited • AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy • AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission • Proposals expected to be introduced in 2027

one of the many current project shenanigans #artwip #tcgbinder #pokemonfanart

was distracted when addin stuff to the shopping list and instead of writing "sink drain" I wrote "draw vent" what tf is a draw vent where did those words come from

need more nerdy local small art/craft show events that don't cost $100s+ to vend and prioritize local artists and aren't giant anime/comic cons
