(my original intention wasn't to be cheeky, but I didn't like how my surf's up OC came out)

A surfer
Screenshot of Sketchbook app. A mostly gray sketch with a person in red. Not colored in, and the spaces in front of the person that shouldn't be visible still show through because I didn't erase them. A person (short, possibly a child) sits at an old PC with one hand on thd mouse and one on ths keyboard. On the computer screen is a large mouse cursor. The PC also has separate speakers on either side of the monitor. Computer tower not pictured under desk.

This cover's kind of got a bit of everything, but the warm colors are what stand out to me the most. This book is such an incredible memoir and if you haven't read it yet, you should!!

Would it be alright with you if I quoted this (and potentially others of your posts) with something like this to add alt text? Trying to keep my feed accessible but I'd love to share more of your art!

Just got my latest bumper sticker, from @pigeonpost.cafe !! A very welcome addition to my car :0)
Back of a gold nissan altima with a blue bumper sticker with a calico cat that says Indoor Cats Live Longer! There's also a long skinny rectangle sticker just above the (blacked out) license plate that has the rainbow plus the trans colors plus black and brown Same but zoomed out to show more of my stickers. There's also a cream Support Public Libraries in funky colors and a groovy font. There's a smaller, noy traditionally bumper sticker shaped sticker that's black Clown Car sticker with colorful balloons and two party animals (a cat and dog in party hats)

I never answer these questions because I literally do not care and will never choose a book based on this data but Wow there's a lot of disagreement here 😅 I didn't realize the book was so controversial. I gave it 4.5 stars, I really enjoyed it

Warning, paywall is hidden a bit of the way in, so you start to think, wow, I guess it isn't paywalled,, but it is. HOWEVER, if you have no money and want to read Questlove talk about music, check out Music is History from your local library!

I just posted this photo a few days ago, but I see it every time I walk into my bedroom and I just love it so I'll shamelessly post it again. Accompanied by the list of books I've read this year. 43 or 26 depending on whether you count the graphic novels (I do)

Oooh, I have one of these! It must be worth a lot now, right?! Ignore the sticker on the front, I'm sure that's not important.
VHS copy of Irving Berlin's White Christmas. There's a price tag sticker on the front that says I bought it for a whopping 50 cents

There are plenty, but a couple I've read this year are The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris and Mort by Terry Pratchett (I have about 10 pages left in this one, I was reading it today) #booksky 💙📚 #BookishQOTD 📖🦋
Silence of the Lambs cover. Death's head moth not quite landing on an outstretched hand and the moth's massive shadow on the wall in the background Mort cover. Blue with yellow text. Cracked hourglass with aqua colored sand and, behind this, the shadow of a scythe, or, perhaps, a scythe that is a shadow.

This is one of my favorites!!! It's also often mistaken for fossils because it can form these dendritic patterns in rock. It's beautiful!!
Photo of rock with dendritic pyrolusite. It's a white-ish rock and the pyrolusite looks like a bunch of little ferns across the rock.

I know it's not but it's wild how similar this cat looks to the stray we started feeding recently (also I am aware the dish pictured is bad for whisker fatigue, it's just what we had on hand at the time). We call him Mr. Kitty
A tabby that I would call brown but everyone else calls gray. He looks mighty displeased at being photographed, but it's just his big cheeks and squinty eyes
