I have GOT to stop trying to cook and write at the same time. That's the second time this week I've left the pasta water to boil away into a cloud because I got into the zone in the other room.

Instead of focusing on things in the Indie Animation space that make you upset why not focus on something that's new and upcoming. This Friday , the Kickstarter for The Three Tomes episode 2 launches ! Check out Episode 1 on YouTube and support the campaign this Juneteenth . Support Indie Animation

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Get acquainted with our state via this highly accurate and mostly-to-scale map.

A hot mess of colorful scribbles all over a map of Washington, featuring doodles of iconic Washington features like mountains, orcas, ferries, cherries, onions, and other produce. The map emphasizes the busyness of the Seattle area, I-5, I-90, US 2, and the U.S./Canada border during the World Cup games.

Unexpected benefit to buying a soda streamer for my birthday: testing to make sure the clouded water from my kitchen sink is just bubbles from the weird kinks in the pipes and not something gross getting into my water.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Storms on workdays are fun. Weather in the Puget Sound tends to move west to east, and I'm one of the furthest west WFH employees in the area, so when the storm blows in I get to go, "Oo storm" in the work chat and then watch everyone else chime one by one in over the next 2 hours as it reaches them

There is a horror-movie screenwriter on here that I follow. One of his movies delightfully surprised me and made me a fan. I saw the sequel and it didn’t land for me. Guess what I will say if we meet? “Dude I loved (movie 1)….” Nothing gained by anyone talking about 2. Tell creators what you love.

....oh my God there was a raccoon. It came right up to the sliding glass door and stared at Sandy. And Sandy, Mr. Scaredy Cat who dives for his hiding place under the bed at the slightest disturbance, stood his ground behind the glass and hissed at it. Don't think it did anything but. Still. #cats
