Finally own this on vinyl. NGL the warp in this one has me worried, but so far so good. (Miss you @shanelovesgames.bsky.social, one of the first things we ever geeked out about.)

Carrot gnocchi? Carrot gnocchi. (2 part (by weight) carrots, boiled and mashed fine, 1 part (by weight) glutinous rice flour. Make dough while mashed carrots are still hot. Form into pieces about the size of $1 in stacked quarters. (A 400g carrots + 200g flour batch seems to yield about 60)

Been working on a fantasy story named Demesne in my head ever since I learned it. It's a good word. Here's the rest of the Potion Hero comic so far. Really need to get my ducks in a row.

I could wax so fucking poetic about all this shit, but you already get enough of my unfiltered thought so tl;dr- Mom hooked it up with a bird feeder and a sack of black sunflower, so the roving gang of Black Capped Chickadees can alight upon my doorstep. They're wise to the game tho, dip too fast.

How it's been lately.
Von Bode comic "good times a' comin" one of his lizard characters is dressed for winter and walking the sidewalk in snow.
"Oh dis been a shit cold winter... Everything brought me down."
"I lost my job at da sewer plant, got throwed out of my dingy cellar room an my bird died of a drug overdose."
"My only friend done moved away without a forwarding address an i got da gout an frostbite flap an no food to eat."
"But is I down an out?! Not on yer life!.. dis is one little lizard dat got spunk and heart... Things can't get any worse."
He then steps into the street and is run over, dead.

Interesting that we can identify certain artistic intentions by the era a piece was created in Though the skill and subject could come from any time between the civil war and today; this was a 1989 painting- and that is CLEARLY intended to be Tom Sawyer down there. Künstler's "The Glorious Fourth"
A patriotic painting, presumably depicting a civil war era fourth of July celebration. South of center stands a shoeless boy facing away from us in pants with rolled cuffs and held up by suspenders. He is also wearing a straw hat.

Not to throw shade on craft in the slightest, I think good art requires a high degree of skilled craft to produce it, but there's a definite gap between them. Here's one of the places I started splitting hairs:

My relationship with the tools is very strange. I locked in on the 2H from General, because that's what you're supposed to do when you're planning on taking it further; but every once in a while I'll remember my Blackwing collection, go nuts for a couple days and actually enjoy drawingnfor a while.🙄
