To my friends from LiveJournal I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom? I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him. I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been I hope you got your houseboat. I hope you got everything. -Hayley DeRoche

The stars are bright,
Hear the bell's song,
It's Krampus Night!

OB (Gravy and Creamsicle's feral buddy who has none interest in being an indoor cat) showed up after a few days away during the snowstorm and I'm happy to see he's napping in his warm house after getting canned food breakfast and fresh water this morning.

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).
A six-panel comic titled "Wildlife Tracking Tips". In panel 1, the text says "A white-tailed deer traveled through here," and there are white-tailed deer prints in fresh snow. In panel 2, the text says "An American Red Squirrel came by," and the leap marks of a red squirrel are in the snow. In panel 3, the text says "A Snowshoe Hare passed through," and there are the distinctive fluffy-footed marks from a snowshoe hare jumping across the snow. n panel 4, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare found a sword," and one of the front paw marks in the track has been replaced with a long thin line running alongside the track. In panel 5, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare is dual wielding," and both front paw marks have been replaced with long thin lines. In panel 6, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare tamed a mount, vastly increasing its jumping distance. You should run," and the Snowshoe Hare trail runs into a deer track and disappears.

The annual Mari Lwyd charity auction is LIVE!

Here's one of my pieces up for grabs! Mari is drawn in ballpoint, and has an Ecoline background, with metallic Polychromos on the eye and edges.

Auction link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15750676...

All items: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/skullsns...

🎨 #art #bsnm
A black ballpoint pen drawing of the Mari Lwyd, an undead horse skull with body hidden under sheets or rodes. Here her body is facing away and is covered in a cloak with a hood, but her head is turned to look back at the viewer, so the skull is mostly side on. The back of her head is covered in flowers and leaves, with ribbons and a braid flowing out and draping down along her back and body. Her ears have small bells at the base. The background is a mix of blue and pink Ecoline/watercolour, with blue at the top, blending into pink at the bottom. The watercolour is very splashy and patchy. There are thin border lines in gold and silver, and the eye is filled in with silver

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.
us.theconversation.com The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com · 16d
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
