#doodles #pencil
graphite pencil doodles on light beige paper first doodle, on the left, resembling some kind of blooming grass-like plant or tree with roughly symmetrical swirly lines, where two new symmetrical diverging swirly lines sprout from each individual swirly line second doodle, on the right, similar symmetrical swirly lines patterning, but originating from three corners of an elongated hexagon, including a few swirly lines growing into the center of the hexagon

can't draw "normal" things like hands?

Then don't!

Start with drawing weird shit, you can always draw hands later.

The point of art isn't "this is a masterpiece", the point is "I made this"/"a person made this"
#doodles #pencil
graphite pencil doodle on light beige paper a series of concentric circles, with increasing number of lines connecting each successive circle from center to outside, the number of lines matching the Fibonacci sequence, with (roughly) half-circles around the outermost edge resembling petals. Resembles a weird-looking rose. Note: My own name for it is a "Fibonacci rose", but I have no idea of that's already a name for something else entirely, or if this pattern/shape already has a formal name that isn't "Fibonacci rose".

graphite pencil doodle on light beige paper a grouping of objects, each object made up of two symmetrical sets of swirling lines that swirl into each other, with two little lines coming out of one of the ends of where the two symmetrical sets connect, resulting in objects resembling butterflies

The pencil doodles will be posted until morale improves*

*(actually, they will be posted until I run out of pictures of my doodles to post)

"I can't draw", likely really means "I can't draw certain very specific objects and shapes like hands and dogs and faces". I get the feeling.
My preferred work-around is just sticking with patterns with a little variation; you'll be surprised by what you can draw doing that

Carter Burke look-alike, Sam Altman, once again promoting a product like he already got the AI equivalent of xenomorph-made bioweapons, when most the rest of us know he hasn't even gotten to the "trick Ripley into going back" equivalent-stage yet
side by side comparison of Sam Altman and the character Carter Burke from the 1986 film "Aliens", with picture of Sam Altman on left and picture of Carter Burke on right.

So as a result of teaching myself how to play "Cruel Angel's Thesis" on piano, I am pretty certain it and Green Day's "Basket Case" use the exact same key signature...

... the video does not demonstrate that at all, but I thought the idea of splicing them together was funny so now it exists lol

one quote that echoes in my brain whenever I see or hear people talk about how this or that terrible Trump administration policy is just so stupid or nonsensical or "sign of Trump mental decline" or whatever...
Screenshot of text from the 2004 video game "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow", a quote from the character Lambert saying "It's ridiculous, but that's probably the point. Like the smiley face on a cobra's hood." screenshot is edited to exclude the very first sentence of the block of dialogue that quote comes from, as the excluded text is only relevant within context of "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow"

In case any of y'all need a catchy protest song idea, a little demo of how to play the anti-fascist "Bella ciao"

sheet music by Manuela Gößnitzer for Wikipedia article on "Bella ciao"

post from Mastodon federated social media on 8th June 2025, specifically the beige.party instance, by Jessica (username @rooster@beige.party), which reads "Liberal lawyers will be filling Bluesky with posts about how this is all against statue or a misinterpretation of US code whatever from their cots in the camps"

I realized I never posted this on Bluesky, so... Sam Altman looks kinda like Carter Burke from "Aliens", don't he?
Two side-by-side pictures of seemingly similar looking men. On the left is a profile picture of Sam Altman at some 2023 or 2024 conference, face directly to camera but looking just off to the camera's left. The picture on the right is a still of the character Carter Burke from the film "Aliens", specifically the scene where Carter Burke is in Ellen Ripley's apartment trying to convince her to join along with a Colonial Marines mission; in the still, Carter Burke's face is directed slightly to the camera's right, his eyes directed slightly to the camera's left. Both Sam Altman and Carter Burker have similar lighting on their faces in their respective pictures, have haircuts that are vaguely similar shape, and are both wearing dress shirt with suit jacket, albeit Carter Burke is wearing a tie but Sam Altman is not.

it looks like a mess, because it is a mess! This is a 100x100 pixel "Bit Pixel Picture", and you can thank a combination of people cheering Bits in my Twitch streams and my own bad decisions lol

(following post explains it further)
An absolute mess of colors, primarily in lines and squares and other patterns, mostly colors from various queer pride flags

My brain made a connection when thinking about federal employees who support Trump and also got laid off since he became president

(also, it would be real cool if Bluesky had image spoiler filter like Mastodon has, where it can be applied on any image with any tag...)
Four still images from the film "1984", the scene where Winston and Parsons are in the Ministry of Love cell together, and Parsons is called to Room 101. The stills are edited to include Parsons wearing a red MAGA hat, and the image of Big Brother replaced with a heavily-desaturated edit of Donald Trump's second inaugural portrait. The images, and captions of each image, are listed as follows from left to right, top to down: In the first still, Parsons and Winston have just been woken up by an announcing voice. The voice, trascribed in all-capitalized orange captions, shouts "You're fired!" In the next still, Parsons, looking distraught, responds with "Me? No, you don't have to do that. Why?". His voice is transcribed in white captions. Next still, almost entirely filled by portrait of Donald Trump on a telescreen, Parsons continues with "I've always supported you! You've always been my president!" Final still, a desperate Parsons points at Winston, saying "Fire him instead of me! He's the DEI hire, it's him you want!"

You ever just check USA federal standards on traffic cones, to make sure you put reasonably-sized stripes on the traffic cone-ish building you built, around a rollercoaster that itself is kind of a cone... or are you normal? #Parkitect
