@crimesnewroman.bsky.social just saw your latest video, really sorry to hear that 🙁 I'm not sure if it's relevant but my company are looking for a UX person? It's a remote position in the US/Canada time zone.

Good idea, someone should let Satan know in case he wants to pick this one up in person.

Game idea: a short puzzle game where I carve all the assets from wood and use them for stop motion animation. Pros: no one else has done it, it'd look so cool, I'd have a lot of fun making it. Cons: I would never finish it, or I'd go mad trying, or both.

Probably the most stressful and satisfying whittle of my life 🙂 I think this is as far as I can take the concept for now.

It's already been a long week and it's only Wednesday 😑 so I'm making mushrooms. Just gotta carve it out sometimes with an easy design. Did you know there are blue mushrooms? They don't look like this but they're really cool!

There's something very satisfying about making tiny swords. They look so fierce but I have to carve them so delicately to avoid breaking them. This might be a metaphor for something. Also, a few more and I could make my own version of the album cover for The Mountain Goats "Getting Into Knives".

@emilyjaneart.bsky.social @franzanth.bsky.social I feel this needed to be brought to your attention 😁

No one tell him about The Sims...

The finish was tricky but fun! I put a sandwich bag into the middle, pushed the ball into it, added some finishing oil and sealed it up, then left the rest soaking in the stain.

Progress!

Can anyone guess what this incoherent scribble is a guide for? 😁

It's #SpookySeason, so the pumpkin latte demon has awoken 🎃☕ #coffee #art #pencil #illustration

I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.

I like this. Let's get him to do more! Soldiers? SUPER WAR FIGHTERS Computers? MEGA DATATRONS Police? ULTIMATE CITY BATTLE MEN How many days to the midterms again?

I have so many questions and no answers. If you are feeding live giant centipedes to your cat, please stop.

This guy just didn't come out right. I had a feeling from the beginning but I'm not sure if my instincts were telling me something or if I was predisposed to make him mediocre as a result. Anyway, I made a fun lil dude and tried out carving a new pose. Not a bad result! #persistencenotperfection

Life hack: every few years or so, memorise the winning lottery numbers for a given week, just in case you turn out to be the protagonist of a time travel story at some point.

Commonly known as a "Baby Yaga", this is the juvenile stage of an izbushka. While they can grow large enough to support a house like in the famous legend, it can take decades for them so do so.

I've only been doing nice carvings recently, which is fine and all but sometimes I get a craving to make something awful. To that end, please welcome Eyeball Jeff.

BUSINESS PINGUS. Just when I thought this couldn't get more daft, @athenamango.bsky.social had an idea.

The Anthropic docs refer to someone using Claude as "a human coworker". So I guess when I'm making breakfast, the stove and the toaster are my mechanical coworkers?

I'm thinking of pivoting to selling "make your own" antique kits. Just take whatever random item I sent out of the box, wait 80 years and tah-day! Instant antique!

Never mind, just had a time swordfight with my daughter. Clearly this is what they're for!

Tiny knives, along with the knife used to carve them! If you have some long, thin wood and can avoid snapping them, these are a really fun five-minute whittle. Dunno what to do with them now though. Maybe I'll just give them out for free at craft fairs.

If you're very lucky, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of a gnome overlord. Despite their name, these gnomes are very peaceful and are most often seen apologising for something they knocked over or broke (tomte spaces are much too small for them).

Surprisingly nothing, because while I'm playing RimWorld again, my colony is founded on peace, love and free medical care for any raiders who survive the gauntlet of horrible traps.

"Could you move? I need to get back to work." Cat obligingly rolls over. "...thanks a lot" 😑

These turned out so cute! Made them for a really lovely couple I know.

I love these dragons. They're the dictionary definition of derp 🤣

I'd almost forgotten about this lil' guy, but the person who ordered him just placed another order for a tomte that's twice the size. This should be interesting!
