Made a cool thing. 100% tactile, physical, real, human art. Kiddo art directed it. Such a joy to make things, and beyond pleased at how it turned out.

Anyone in the PDX area who needs something to do this evening that supports a local childrens hospital, come on down to The Paladins League! There's also a silent auction with some really cool stuff and one of the only handmade copies of my daughter's game! pro.gofundme.com/live/auction...

Pretty darn fantastic #RCCC2026. Huge shout out to the organizers and artists involved in the POG Crawl. Really hoping to see that continue into future events.

These may be my greatest (costume-related) creation. Boots for my daughter's Bakugo cosplay.

I want to outlive every one of these geriatric fucks ruining the USA and the world, and all the tech bros sucking their flaccid dicks, purely out of spite. We’ll be the change that WE want to see in the world, these parasites be damned.

if anyone has any questions about the physical nature of reality please refer to the graph

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

I finally got an opportunity to fix up the lighting for this art piece I collaborated on. Proper tools and materials make a big difference!

When you leave Shape Invaders set up at a party, people make art between matches!

Yesterday was full of community, creativity, and intentionally creating spaces where folks can be safe, welcome, and supported. It takes work, it takes effort, it takes setting and maintaining boundaries, and it is all, completely, absolutely, wholeheartedly worth it.

Okay, tearing away from the phone for the day, going to make something incredible with a group of dear friends. Keep making weird art, folks!

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Oh I will absolutely celebrate "cyberpunk", "world-building", "gender nonconforming", cryptid", and "piehole".

Easily one of the best things anyone’s ever sent me: a spinning semaphore guide! If you flip him over the little fella’s facing away from you so you can do sending flags one way and receiving flags the other.

Huge shout out to @pamwishbow.bsky.social for the use of the corner punch, seriously makes everything feel professionally produced and is a great tactile experience at the same time!

Working up some card frames...

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

Dear Lord, I see the colours You've put on these futbol shoes and I just want that for regular shoes in my community. Please bestow Your glorious neons and brilliant bright hues upon crosstrainers, walkers, and trailrunners. Thanks a bunch. Ramen

I have never related to anything as much as this comic. I went through variations of this exchange for YEARS with math. I was diagnosed with dyscalculia in my late 30's and still struggle to do simple shit like read analog clocks. @portsherry.bsky.social thank you for making this, Its cathartic af.

Hand-coding bespoke websites for small volunteer orgs? Why yes, this brings me an incredible amount of joy. Don't mind if I help myself to some free feel-goods!

It's Pride, but you can wear these patches anytime! Proceeds go to New Avenues for Youth in PDX, supporting LGBTQIA2S+ homeless youth. www.zorgle.art/artifacts/pa...

Westside Comic Con in Hillsboro was fantastic for a first year con. It had a slew of awesome local folks, some neat activities, gaming, and a really chill vibe. I didn't even have to wear my earplugs! I could converse with folks (like the ever delightful @korybing.bsky.social ) at regular volume!

The OG Goblin King.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Hi friends! Credit Unions are great. Credit Unions that explicitly support workers in sectors that are excluded from corporate-controlled banking options are even better! Let's help this happen!

Kiddo just asked "You good?" when I sat down with a heavy sigh. I said "Yeah. I'm good, just tired." She pops right back with "Hi, good-just-tired! I'm dad!" The student has clearly become the master.

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

It has arrived! @dresdencodak.com 's incredible Dark Science! Wahoo!

what do we want? OBJECT PERMANENCE when do we want it? WHEN DO WE WANT WHAT

Sculpting some game tokens from paper mache clay and driveway gravel, casual-like.

I've got this big pal finished! They're a half-size, pose-able Protoceratops! They have a plastic armature throughout their body allowing a range of poses, surrounded by polyester stuffing which means they're still squishy! For sale over on my website: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/12-pose...

Today I want to share a few works that feel especially classic and interesting to me. Monday is almost here, and I hope your new week will be wonderful and full of good energy. Take things with balance and ease, and don’t forget to come take a look at these line art cats 😊 #shouxinsketch

@angelic.style New The Dear Hunter!!! caveandcanary.bandcamp.com/album/sunya

@ironspike.bsky.social you could in Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura! Character intelligence played a huge role in dialog, understanding the world, and significantly altered the way the story evolved (or didn't).

Whooo! Just explained my way through solving a system of equations for the first time in ages. Felt good to dust off old skills.

For once, I'd like a "warehouse sale" to be selling actual warehouses...

@skatunenetwork.bsky.social I'm getting amped up for this weekend's JER show. Any hints on what the setlist might look like so I can get ready to sing loudly along?

My kiddo declares that the little odd scrap bits of nugget parts in the dino nuggets are "nugget coprolites"... I can't argue with this!

I should run for President.
