Hear, hear! My bird pics are not good, so here's a tiny dog (holding Mom n Pop shop coffee) instead.
An 8oz paper coffee cup from a place called Nervous Dog Coffee. The artwork features a nervous looking tiny dog in a coffee cup and has a nostalgic 90-2000s feel.

I visit Henrietta every day in-game to give her a treat.
Now I can give her a hug every day!! ❤️😭❤️
A screenshot of Fields of Mistria. Henrietta sits in a cozy living room and my character is talking to her. A text box says "Henrietta flaps her wings, as though enthusiastically waving hello." She is CUTE.

Fangamer let me design a chicken plush 🙏🥹❤️
This is Henrietta, a prize-winning hen from Fields of Mistria ✨

A plush of Henrietta Jubilation Featherbottom from Fields of Mistria sits atop her favorite spot on a bale of hay inside Hayden's house. She's a white and orange hen with a big pink bow! There's a blue ribbon in the background, one of her many awards.

Goldie believes this is finally the year for the Mariners 🔱 @shanestardewvalley.bsky.social
A little ink drawing of a hen holding a bat, posing like she's gonna hit a baseball. The hen looks determined. It's drawn on a post it, and cartoony. There is a small Mariners S on her bat.

Looking back at my presentation slides (I kept them!), this was maybe good advice for teens? 🤔
Though if teen-Kari saw this, she'd say "OK cool I'm gonna keep drawing Beavis and Butthead instead of my still life drawing assignments, got it, thx~ 😎"
Text says "Art is what you want it to be. So it doesn't have to be stuffy or mean something. DO WHAT YOU LOVE." and my little mascot, Reggie, is standing next to it. (he's a plump and cheery blue jay alligator)

Recently @alyankovic.bsky.social gave an interview where he said the sweetest thing about his daughter, Nina; how he and his wife loved the uniqueness of each age, and wanted a Nina around the house for every age. 😭❤️ I was moved, so I did what any fan would do: I drew him and his wife with 22 Ninas!
Screenshot of an NPR article with Al Yankovic: YANKOVIC: My wife and I talk about this all the time. It would be great - my daughter's name is Nina - and we always used to say, it would be great if we had a Nina at every age living in our house, just 1 through 22 - 22 Ninas. MARTIN: (Laughter). YANKOVIC: 'Cause each one is so special and so beautiful and lovely, and something just unique about every age, and I just... MARTIN: It's true. YANKOVIC: It's such a sense of loss when that person becomes something else - equally good - but you're missing the other person. You know what I mean? Link: https://www.npr.org/2025/05/06/nx-s1-5387674/weird-al-grapples-with-the-complicated-feelings-of-watching-his-daughter-grow-up A caricature I drew of Al, Suzanne, and Nina Yankovic, except there are 22 Ninas instead of one. I had to guess at most of these because there aren't too many public pictures of her (made my job harder but surely made Nina's life better! props to her parents!). My favorite is bored teen Nina hiding, on her phone.

Me and @retrogamerryan.com met Weird Al over the weekend after his concert! Only meet your heroes if your hero is the kind-hearted Weird Al. 🥹❤️
A meet-and-greet photo of Weird Al Yankovic, with me and Ryan. Al is making two halves of a heart symbol with his hands, and Ryan and I are completing the heart symbols with our hands. Al is facing Ryan in 3/4 view, and I look like an overexcited third wheel. We're going to frame this and hang it and it'll be the only photo of us up in our house haha

Making some High Art over here.
A collage of two images clipped from a magazine: a chicken being held by a pair of human hands, chicken feet dangling, pasted on top of a pair of human legs. It looks like a chicken is striking a bold pose. The simple, crude collage is displayed in a green-grey matte with an ornate gold frame. The college looks silly in a nice frame.

My very low-effort explanation for why you would want an electric eraser and brush

I draw better on paper! Here are my tools.
Erasers & brush are my MVPs. Mechanical pencil for sketches and roughs, ebony and blackwing pencils for getting full tonal value for finished drawings. Physical media will always be my fav for drawing. Nothing like feeling the friction of paper. #fineart
An assortment of drawing tools on a white background. Sakura electric eraser and refills, Magic Rub and Mr. Pen erasers, Slendy+ stick eraser, Mono zero stick eraser, large brush for wiping away the eraser bits so I don't smear the page, Ebony pencil, Blackwing pencil, Twist-Erase pentel mechanical 0.9mm pencil, Koyuko 1.3mm mechanical pencil. Erasers, a large brush, a sharpener, a pencil cushion, and

OFF was excellent and I heartily recommend it to all RPG enjoyers. It is the granddaddy of all your favorite modern indie RPGs and it just got a terrific remake on switch/steam. @offtherpg.com Play it and meet this cute kitty!
A charcoal drawing of a seated, grinning cat. The mark making is deliberately loose and the paper is yellow. The cat looks at the viewer. There is an X in the background behind the cat with OFF written in it. Three white circles are reflected in the cat's eyes.

@reidman.bsky.social damn, you really let this last line slide????
A cute cat with a nice smile talking about how everybody loves cats (a controversial statement to some). It is a screenshot from the newly released video game, OFF. I love the cat.

I found you a better price, Laura. And in multiple colors.
A cardboard bin of blue cones, with a handwritten sign indicating they're 50 cents each. I do not know the nature of the cones or their purpose. Misc office paper is stacked on the shelf above the cones.

Two-tailed swallowtail (I think?) enjoying my anise hyssop plants.
I planted it last fall as an afterthought and it's 5ft tall this year and attracting cool friends. 🤩 I'll split it before fall and plant more in another part of the yard.

If you see me making a list like this, it means I need to be reminded to drink water and take breaks
A post it note with a list on it reading: dustjacket exterior,dustjacket interior, endsheets, casebound foil/deboss, text. It is a list for prepping a completed book project for print!

Native plants rule cause I fully neglect this garden but it is thriving. I watch bees and hummingbirds enjoy these plants every morning 🥹

Dude at the hardware store told me a total of THREE TIMES to be careful with this. I regret not asking him why. Wish me luck~
It's a jumbo fly swatter in its retail packaging. The fly swatter consists of a large hand with a telescoping adjustable arm. It says "Give flys a high five!"

You are correct! Essentially I boiled a steak in oil.

One disappointing thing: I tried to re-imulsify the mayo after it had separated (I wanted steak-flavored mayo!!), but alas it would not cooperate.

Mayo Steak is ready to enjoy.

Honestly, it tasted like regular steak, so I added mayo when serving. I'm glad I had this experience, but I doubt I'll make this again, unless someone asks.

Try this recipe if you have a tub of mayo in your pantry about to expire.
It's a normal looking steak (pan seared poorly, I don't make steak at home often) A small serving of steak sliced very thin, medium-well-ish, in a tiny bowl, with a generous streak of Kewpie mayo on top and a dash of pepper.
