Feeling sad about the news about @rexthetvterrier.bsky.social

I lost my own good boy almost six years ago.

Here is what he looked like.

He sometimes got up to trouble.

But in the end, he was a very good boy.

Gotta know when to cut your losses sometimes. Starting this painting over and hoping for better next round.

I'm not super deep into anime, but I love love love Teasing Master Takagi-san. So pure hearted!

Followed closely by Komi Can't Communicate.

Can you tell I don't pursue high stakes in my media? I have enough stress in real life 😂😆😭

It's a fine line to walk, watching other artists enough to be inspired but not so much that you are consumed by the certainty you will never be that good.

I spent 15 years as a librarian. I can't emphasize enough the damage it did to me.

If you care about freedom to read, don't just decry the book burners.

Advocate for better librarian pay and protection from harassment.

Kind words aren't enough.

Okay, tbh, I'll let the algo do the finding

I have a very specific set of skills... I *will* find your doggo pics. And I *will* like them.
November 30, 2024 at 3:48 PM
Unless you're into controlling options for other people. Then nothing but book burnings will do... 😞
November 30, 2024 at 3:45 PM
I want to do that. I'm afraid of commitment. Otherwise, I might have gotten GOOD at one things before moving in to the next

I mean, it likely wouldn't affect my use. But I'm curious how they will get the platform to maintain itself financially.

Used to feel so *impressive* to go there. I remember row after row of CDs. All gone.

I can't imagine how they stay in business... electronics are almost certainly cheaper to buy online, and as for appliances, well, Sears et al are foreboding omens.
