#DataScientist, #accountant, #TTRPG, #Improv. Loves cooking, I'm "Private chef" doing #GlutenFree for my lovely coeliac. Fairly left wing and thinks Nazis are rancid little pricks. Personal views here.

I have a mighty need! Who can point me in the direction of a trans artist that can do pen&ink/scratchboardy style illustrations (inspo attached) and will draw one in exchange for coin? gAI users need not apply, you will be sacrificed to a god of my choosing

2 black and white illustrations by Douglas Smith. One shows a boy standing on the stairs looking at a long stretching corridor. The other shows a man and a woman running down an alleyway with creepy shadows behind them.A colour illustration by Damien Worm showing a silhouette of a person standing on an entrance road to a victorian house with a single lit window.A black and white illustration by Thomas Ott showing a boy standing in front of a dark forest tunnel.

Randomly occured to me I would never get to introduce my son, due Novemberish, to my Dad, who passed away in 2024, and randomly and very very briefly burst into choking sobs at my desk. Absolutely fine 3s later +- some snot. If you're wondering how fucking weird grief and stress can be.

1/x Captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama is taken hostage in a lifeboat, and US Navy SEALs end it after five days. The snipers dealt with the guys in the lifeboat. The Belgians dealt with the guy at the top of the whole trade. A thread.

My brother @mrtimnewman.bsky.social and I share a vivid memory of waking up one Christmas morning and seeing the glowing outline of a human form in a neighbour's garden. We've never worked out what we saw and it's about as close as I get to thinking I've had a genuine supernatural experience.

Once, when my brother and I were kids, we went outside to the yard late at night. I spotted what looked at first like our big white dog with a strange light shining on him. But then I noticed our real dog standing a few yards away, staring at the other dog.

I think I'm going to start a fast food place, but the economics don't work if I have to buy the ingredients so I'm going to shop lift it all at first then move on to harvesting it myself from other people's farms direct.
