Made my first chocolate chip banana bread tonight. Doesn't really deserve to be called "bread." It's a dense cake. Will definitely make again, but probably with a little less chocolate chips

Trying to improve pen drawing - I've always felt more comfortable with paint and charcoal. But I'm starting to find some mark making that's fairly satisfying. Maybe still need to darken some shadows ...

trying to draw more ... really my preferred medium is charcoal. I kinda just hack away when cross-hatching in pen and there's always some sloppy missteps.

I love screenshots, so I got some screenshot of a screenshot in my screenshot of a screenshot.

Also, what a depressing kind of conversation we have to have these days

an old photo I stumbled on recently that made me chuckle - quite randomly realized the pepper shapes I was cutting looked very similar to how #thecure displayed their names in the mid 1990s. IIRC, Porl Thompson (miss that guy in the band!) was responsible for it and other design work at the time.

meme I generated based on others' ideas - @davidleavitt.bsky.social juxtaposed Musk/Trump with Darth Maul/Sidious and @bradsprigg.bsky.social suggested Grima Wormtongue / King of Rohan a more apt fit. I agree.

I made you this version - feel free to share it around if you like it. I have no meaningful audience myself so it wouldn't likely get far.

Yeah, I felt that #earthquake

This heron hung around next to my aunt and uncle's house for over an hour. When it finally flew off, I had my camera ready to get a nice shot of him.

happy 100th birthday (yesterday 12/7/24) Grandpa in-law. A WW2 veteran, all-around great guy that I hope lives forever. I never knew my own grand-dads so marrying into a family of long-lived was a blessing. Even got to meet my wife's great grandma a few times before she passed

Thanks! Here he is with my self and his granddaughter (my wife) and his great grandson (my boy) a few months ago

It's from the evil corporation, Nestle, but I can't help that I love these old glass mugs. My wife acquired two of them from her grandma when she passed.

fascinating graph by NYT (good on you for the graph but still, eternal shame for your democracy-threatening both-sides-ism) showing Republicans are absolute imbeciles in their views, believing the economy is magically great under GOP president and utterly awful under a Democrat

Starry Night is definitely up there for me too! Hadn't known I would be a fan of Van Gogh before seeing that in person.
Monet similarly, I associated with coffee mugs and hotel poster prints until seeing this Rouen Cathedral at the Boston MFA. Both experiences in High School, many years ago
