As much as I love this Bluesky app had to step back from it some due to feelings of being overwhelmed. Thanks to new meds I’m not having to struggle so much w just being me. Next month will have lots of stress due to some health news that no one wants to hear. I’m here, albeit inconstantly 💚

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

When you been on a call for 7 minutes and hear “Your call is very important to us please wait for the next available agent,” literally every 10 seconds … it’s starts to sound sarcastic

Who else likes White Elephant/Dirty Santa parties?
I get so excited about them and am on the look out for my gifts. This one is a fantastic contender!

The phrases that keep spinning around my head lately “the root to sadness is knowledge” & how “ignorance is bliss”… I have done more this year in listening & educating myself that I have found myself stepping into thanksgiving festivities not with joy & anticipation but with anxiety & tension.

Do you know the game??
I love this shot I grabbed years ago and how the absence of matter from the components create the essence of the game. Do you see it??

For anyone unfamiliar with my work: something I teach at cons, and on my stream is the 4 color palette. I urge my viewers and students to paint a mini using only 4 colors. Limitation breeds innovation!
This mini from the #boardgame Judgement Eternal Champions is one such mini!
