And last but not least, @eloveart.bsky.social's prompt. An excellent way to finish off @play.breakthrought1d.org's Creators4Cures week, ably assisted by @mellemony.bsky.social

A line across, with an arch containing most of the image. There is a white ball hanging off the top-centre of the arch. On the line, there is a yellow chip with an eye, and a muddier-coloured ring. Both have motion wobbles around them.

The text reads: French fry fish and onion ring fish doing ballroom dancing, Really Bad Art '26, eloveart, DarkInsanities, Breakthrough T1D Play

Really Bad Art '26 finishes with some excellent prompts! Featuring prompts from @bitememedusa.bsky.social, @klethetemplar.bsky.social, EddyCosmo, & Nyx Aiko! Raising money for @play.breakthrought1d.org!

A yellow circle with 7 black dots as eyes, and a thin black line outlining a mouth. They have three wings stretched out on each side, also yellow.

There are lines saying DarkInsanities, Eddy of the Cosmos, Really Bad Art '26, Breakthrough T1D Play, and Biblically Accurate Lemon.

A black background with 2 top hats and a bowler hat, all also holding canes with orbs or diamonds on top. There are indications of cats eyes and some facial markings indicating these are black cats on a black background.

There is text around the image, saying Dark Insanities, Breakthrough T1D Play, KleTheTemplar, Really Bad Art '26, and Cats in top hat & cane

On a black background, this image is a large red strawberry, with some green leaves at the top, and numerous small green dots as the seeds. There is a paler green frog that is taking a bite out of the strawberry at the top.

The text on this one reads: Frog eating a giant strawberry, NyxAiko, Dark Insanities, Breakthrough T1D Play, and Really Bad Art '26.

The phrase 'Really Bad Art MMXXVI', in very spiky, tilted style. It is white text on a black background.

If I knew it was this easy to lose 15 years in a day, I'd have done it ages ago. @discord.com managed to verify me once, but I guess I'll go back to being 18 again.

The fuck? What value have you added in the last decade. I can't just buy a licence once, I can't just install the software and have it work, it doesn't just sit there and do its thing without trying to talk to OneDrive and Copilot and whatever else, it hasn't innovated in a helpful way. What value?

Screenshot of the text of an email recieved from Microsoft, the displayed text is as follows:

Thank you for being a valued Microsoft 365 subscriber. To reflect the value we’ve added over the past decade, address rising costs and enable us to continue delivering new innovations, we’re increasing the price of your subscription.

Effective 14 February 2025, the price for Microsoft 365 Personal subscriptions will increase from GBP 59.99* per year to GBP 84.99* per year. To continue with the new price, no action is

As of yesterday, I now have as many quotes on my channel as there are real Pokemon, I guess :D

I was paying annually, so apparently I get more time. But yes, you can be sure I told them exactly why I left, was not nice to Rings of Power, and even told them I'd go to the evil mouse service if it saved the show. There's little TV I actively look forward to watching, and now it's half as much.

For some reason, my #YouTube subscription feed has randomly decided to skip the last 5 days of videos. They were there yesterday. I'm down a day of videos to listen due during work, how am I supposed to cope?

Screenshot of my YouTube subscription feed. Along the top are two video publish times, showing 9 hours ago and 13 hours ago. (The middle one is too short to show.)

There are then 3 thumbnails (they're not important, but they're two Stellaris videos and and a Hank Green video), with the publish times of 5 days ago, 5 days ago, and 6 days ago.

So, how was your evening? I missed a single injection, and my body and brain went to sludge all evening. If I'm lucky I got the late dose right, and my levels will settle somewhere functional and I won't crash out the bottom overnight. #t1d #type1diabetes

I have never done one of these before. But this is not Twitter, so for once, I'm going to engage in the trending thing. :D I fully stole this image and the alt text from @kbdraws92.bsky.social, who credits the alt text to @anchimayen.com, so credit where credit is due, which isn't me. :D

Phew, for a moment, I thought the box would be too small for the book. Seems like a bit of a waste. But at least I have a new book now. #dnd

The new Dungeon Master's Guide for D&D, next to a box about 10 times bigger than it needs to be to hold the book.

I was in London on Saturday, going through St Pancras on my way home. We had to make a detour, because book tree is best tree.
