It is impossible to make every single perfectly ethical choice, which we even had a podcast episode about. We all have to choose where we draw our lines and where we make concessions. eedapod.com/the-impossib...

I did it!! Took a min to figure out how best to secure the bike to the rack. Got the back tire and frame w/ litelok x3 and the front tire to the frame w/ litelok core+ I am ridiculously pleased with myself and feeling a bit smug if I'm being honest lol. I am A Person Who Bikes Places! #BikeSky

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

A quiet morning painting is everything. #Artsky #UrbanSketching

Last night's sketches. And with that, I finished another sketchbook! #usk #usksg #urbansketch #lineandwash #themessyurbansketch #trainsketching #trainsketchers

I had the absolute joy and honour of making a wedding piece for the alovely Powhatan and Noverz! Nova looks especially so pretty in her dress! Gotta keep the converse of course though ;3

A small milestone, my first rather big installation in a private exhibition. I'm very hyped about it!! Just wanted to share :) #art #watercolors #painting #installation #exhibition

People who use ai want answers not knowledge and cannot begin to comprehend how these two things are not the same.

A better look at one of the paintings I did yesterday. Experimenting with some brighter colours and although my dark moody palette always will have my heart, this is fun too I think. As always my art is 100% hobbit-made 📸 Cafetoyo Amber and Jade Roasters, Toyko #ArtSky #ACEO #UrbanSketching

I'm so stoked. Urban Sketchers Vancouver is doing a sketch weekend at the end of May in Victoria and the artist lineup is SO GOOD. Was doing some of the social media graphics tonight and getting excited to learn from these talented folks. #USKVan #UrbanSketching

fun fact: no pangolin has ever done a single thing wrong in the entire history of the world

Smart business owners and CEOs remember how unions came about and don't poke the labor too much. We don't have a lot of smart business owners and CEOs in this country, though. And they're all ignorant of history.

jokes aside, if the bourgeoisie paid any attention to real history (and not just the glorified western chauvinist fictions they're calling history) they would realize the violence will only continue to escalate until they let go of control and treat the masses fairly and with respect

I'm super late to starting the run so I'm just going into it without an intro! Another Darker Side run coming through! www.twitch.tv/atticusthemy...

Super productive afternoon coworking with @minettefraise.bsky.social Now it's time for snackies and Apothecary Diaries before getting back to the painting. Art cards available in my kofi shop! #ArtSky

Apparently it's #PortfolioDay which is cool! I'm Willow, a queer disabled hobbit from the PNW. I love painting buildings with a touch of whimsy. My art cards and commissions start at $5CAD (incl shipping). You can find my stuff at ko-fi.com/whimsicalwil...

good morning it’s carpathia day! the day of the most daring rescue of all time!

Past me was a fugging genius, starting a batch of overnight sourdough waffles last night. Current me is thrilled to have a tummy full of delicious waffles.

So... Wild Robot hit me right in the fucking feels tonight. Holy shit.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Hubby DMs his online game today so I'm gonna curl up downstairs with a cuppa and my switch and maybe bake some pretzels. Probably put a coat of varnish on my plein air easel. Then hotpot for dinner tonight. I love our life.

For anyone who writes a post complaining about an issue and then has an edit saying that they figured it out and they don't explain how they fixed it, there's a special place in hell for you.

I've been loving my bike so much. It's a bit big and heavy but tbh so am I so we suit each other just fine lol. The motor on it is so nice. When I hit a hill or just need a bit of a breather I can pop on extra assist or hit the throttle and just zoom for a bit.

"...pictorial representations of urban spaces have repeatedly been launching points for our imagination, offering us captivating new vantage points both literal and spiritual" - Jessica Maier This is about stunning maps, but it's interesting to think abt how it could apply to urban sketching too

it’s new-old story day! my latest publication is one of the first stories i finished when i started writing for publication twelve years ago.

Science is good. We should fund it.
