Juuust saying…

everyone might want to give, “A Bookseller in Madrid”, by Mario Escobar a read.

Let’s just say it’s VERY relative… as history is absolutely repeating itself.

Omg, you did it! ABC just announced that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return on Tuesday after the late-night host’s suspension became a flashpoint for free speech. We estimate that around 250,000 of our supporters canceled their Disney+ and Hulu accounts in protest. The pressure worked, money talks!

So, because, not surprisingly, this book PISSES a certain FB CEO off, because it airs a certain social media giants dirty laundry out…

I highly highly HIGHLY recommend, “Careless People”, by Sarah Wynn-Williams.

Out of curiousity, mostly because I am binging my own favorite today…

what is YOUR favorite classic childrens story?

Mine?

PETER PAN

In all it’s forms.

The original dark story by J.M. Barroe, and the Disney version, then eeeeeevery beautiful dark take on it afterwards.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Just watched the newest episode of South Park.

“Sermon on the Mount”

That was spot on and beautiful. 🤣🤣🤣

The Buick, aka Kirishima, is in the shop to have an oil leak checked out.

Wee.

Can I afford this? Likely no.

But I need to get it done.

Just going to live off PBJs and ramen for a while…

OOOO!!!

Talk about a gift! 💜

I had COMPLETELY forgotten that I entered the giveaway for a copy of Mason Deavers’, “The Build-a-Boyfriend Project”, on Goodreads.

Went to grab my Dominos lunch delivery, turned back to the door to see a box leaning against the door frame, and saw my name on it.

Trying out a different technique for shading and highlights. A few other artists shade with greyscale, then change the layer properties to color burn. Then tweak as needed in another layer to add stronger reflective lighting as well as some complementary colors.

48 HOURS LONG?!

Yeah, there is NO way in hell I’m going to be able to finish the entire audiobook in two weeks before it gets returned to the library.

Stephen… dahling… I love your stories, but… holy hell, dude! 🤣

600 pages w/ Fairy Tale was long enough!
