Believing your relationship with art should always make you feel good is like expecting a long-term relationship to be all honeymoon phase. Unrealistic, unhealthy, and setting you up for disappointment.

🧵 Showing up for your art on bad days helps:

I love silly puns

I'm glad Look Outside was able to answer the important question of what happens when you look out a window in Quebec?

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.

Only one cat has ever received the award.

This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

For the final project for my video game composition course, I have students compose music for a 2-minute gameplay video, and I would LOVE to feature a couple indie games.

So if you're an indie dev that might be interested in this, let me know!

Progress! Progress! In towns you visit, there are also temples you can visit where you can have the Clerics there revive your teammates. For a fee of course. They will increase in price the higher level they become. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #SRPG #RPGMakerMV #pixelart #RPGツクールMV

this is one of the most fun games I've played in the past few years. it's a truly great 2d action platformer with a beautiful amount of silliness in it.

A realistic digital painting of Chinese-American actress Joan Chen as Josie from Twin Peaks. Portrait is from the waist up. Josie is seated on a dusty pink velvet sofa. She’s wearing a green, blue, and black oversized sweater and bright red lipstick. Her black hair is short and slicked back in a delicate wave. She’s clutching a red book to her chest. One of her hands is repeated three times, the disembodied extra hands stacked surreally as if in mid-air. The background is a gradient from pale lavender to vivid blue. A realistic digital painting of The Moon. Portrait is from the waist up. The “Moon” is hovering in mid-air, soft white, the disembodied “head” over a pink and orange Cinderella-style gown with billowy sleeves. Purple-tinted human hands are clasped loosely at the front but otherwise no body can be seen. The background is a gradient from soft brown to deep purple. A realistic digital painting of Media from American Gods. Portrait is from the chest up. Media, played by white actor Gillian Anderson, is dressed as Marilyn Monroe from The Seven Year Itch. She’s wearing an ivory satin halter dress with bare shoulders. Her curly hair is platinum blonde. She wears red lipstick and enamel earrings in the shape of an emoji: a yellow smiley face with hearts for eyes. The background is soft orange. A realistic digital painting of Gus from Breaking Bad. Portrait is a closeup bust. Gus is portrayed by Black Italian American actor Giancarlo Esposito. His portrait is all in gray with his face cast deep in shadow. The only color in the portrait is his glasses, which have vivid pink lenses. The background is dark gray.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

Wow, I've reached 100 followers here on Bluesky!

Thanks for following, and beware of sky pirates! 🏴‍☠️
Screenshot from Stories from Danger's Den, an eight-bit-style game with a top-down view. We see a cobbled street lined with little homes and shops. A three-generation family lives in one house, where a medic visits and talks with a little girl. The little girl says, "I'm a sky pirate! Arr!"

Hank Green is so ambitious. It's exhausting. My life is like being the co-author of the Federalist Papers.

I'm all like, "John Jay got sick after writing five."

And Hank's like, "HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER FIFTY ONE."

I've set up an account for the random retro RPG generator I'm making! If that sounds like fun to you, give it a follow. 👾

Hi! I'm Kathy and I'm making Stories from Danger's Den, the game that randomly generates adventures, each in its own unique world. I'm still at work making it better. Follow me to keep up with my progress!

Also check out the official Danger's Den blog:
dangersden.net
Title screen of Stories from Danger's Den. It has a plain black background. The title text is in fancy lettering by Not Jam. The menu options, centered below the title, are New Random Story, Continue, Enter Story ID, Options, and Quit. In the bottom left corner, some gray text reads: Alpha 5 pre-release. Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an eight bit style game with a top-down view. In this shot of the overworld, a paladin in pink armor roams a valley where two rivers wind. The paladin is about to cross the first bridge. To the west, beyond the second bridge, is a town. Screenshot of a bustling woodland town in Stories from Danger's Den. A soldier wearing a yellow helmet is talking with a shopkeeper at a booth. The shopkeeper says, "Hi, Brentric! Stock up on herbs before you leave town!" Battle screen. Three wild-eyed monsters that look like giant vegetables bare their teeth at the viewer. The menu shows six options: Attack, Tactic, Magic, Guard, Item, and Run. The player has selected Attack. In a menu to the right, the monsters' names are displayed: Madroot A, Madroot Turnip, and Madroot B.

Here's a little something autumnal. 🍂
I made these last year with cut paper, colored pencils, and markers.
A group of leaves arranged almost like a bouquet. Some of the leaves are made of construction paper, and look like a red maple leaf, an orange oak leaf, a yellow compound leaf with many small leaves, and a scattering of teardrop-shaped yellow leaves. The background is a warm tan color. Aspen leaves cut from orange construction paper, colored with orange marker and yellow crayon veins, are spaced apart almost like footsteps on a trail. Small leaves drawn in colored pencil are scattered around them. The background is brown construction paper. A tulip poplar leaf cut from yellow construction paper is centered on a honey gold card stock background that surrounds the leaf in shapes and stripes drawn in soft colored pencil reds, yellows, and greens.

As a music professor, I know that music terminology can sound more complex than it really is. Here's a thread of music vocabulary that might sound intimidating, along with the most concise, simple definition possible.
