Treating social media as a 24/7 fight pit has fucking demolished people's ability to actually do anything else with social media

And this is the finished piece... 🥹👉👈 I am really proud of how it turned out. I am actually thinking about how I could go about making prints of this for my merch shop. 😅 #pencildrawing #noaiart #art #artist #artispolitical #Medusa #saawareness #cornell7

Creativity accountability thread, day 68: Got to do another round with the cool critique group I found, which is teaching me a ton about how to self-critique. Got my inktober-inspired flash fiction done. Almost called off band practice but we did a mini-acoustic one instead. Success.

4. Cactus (alt text includes full text) #inktober2026 #flashfiction #writesky #whenithappens 🪐📚
4. CACTUS

They say everyone remembers where they were when it happened. Me? I was about 40 miles west of Ely, Nevada, watching Thompson work through the bends once he finally stopped flickering. We were under a radio silence order out there, so the whole team jumped when Yamagata’s comm lit up. The government hid the portal behind layers of clearance; the only ones who had ever even seen it were the four of us and the cactus growing next to it. But the news was big. It happened.
Ramirez had hidden a beer for the occasion, and we all took celebratory sips as Thompson stumbled around. We could barely see his face through the puke on his visor, but you could tell he was grinning in there. It was my turn with the beer. I tipped it towards him. He gave us two thumbs up before he collapsed.

3. Miniature (alt text includes full text) #inktober2026 #flashfiction #writingcommunity
3. MINIATURE

General Grennin pushed a miniature ship across the chart with a long, golden fork, then aligned two more behind it.
“If we attack from the cover of Lygo, we’ll have the element of surprise.”
“If we attack from the cover of Lygo, we’ll violate the treaty of Lygo.”
“Then what do you propose, Vice General?”
“Retirement,” she answered.
“You can’t quit when we’re about to go to war!”
“We’re only going to war because you don’t know when to quit!” She closed her eyes and took a slow breath. He always riled her, but she’d be damned if she let him manipulate her emotions one last time.
His eyes bulged at her insolence. He pointed the fork at her, menacing, and lurched over the table between them. The ships scattered in retreat. Spittle and foam pooled beneath Lygo’s twin moon. To her knowledge, that violated no standing treaty.

If you are like me & love pumpkin spice anything but find PSLs overbearingly sweet, this recipe is my gift to you: Blend canned pumpkin & canned coconut milk 1:1. Add cinnamon+ if you want. Add to coffee. Ta da! 🎃🥥

2. Relic (alt text includes full text) #inktober2026 #flashfiction #writingcommunity
2. RELIC

You, rifling there. You don’t want that old thing. My ex-wife is in that photo. Even the frame is cheap. One crude relic could never portray me. Definitely not! It would take an entire castle to preserve my legacy! Or at least a three bed two bath with cathedral ceilings.
Where are you going?
No, take a left down the hall. That's where I kept the good shit. The pen the astronauts used. The expensive desk. The Hume and Kant and Dickens. From college—ivy, by the way.
Wait.
Where are you going?
Upstairs? Well, that's alright. That's where I gave my children life. And kept my tie collection! All designer, you know. The suits, too. I replace them every year. Always modern!
Oh. On your way out already? Stop in the garage. There's a Mercedes in there. Two, actually. Brand new.
Where are you going?

@stillicides.bsky.social thanks for the inspiration on this one 😁
Welcome to Actually True Australian Facts: Weekend Edition! Did you know that koalas' brains are abnormally small for the size of their heads, so they have a surplus of cushioning fluid to keep them stable? That's right! In fact, that fluid is a core ingredient in the classic Vegemite recipe!

Oops, that one was a whole exchange...
Sender: Welcome to Actually True Australian Facts! Did you know that Australia was teh first continent to send a craft to Mars? Scientists say the first boomerang in space is due back on earth in the year 2041. Wow!
Recipient: That's amazing. Didn't I send a kangaroo up in space back in 69, too?
Sender: No, you don't want to know what we did with the kangaroos in 69.
Sender: You'll need to tune into Actually True Australian Fucks for that information.

Welcome to Actually True Australian Facts! Did you know that donkeys in Australia are called Fosters? It's because none of them have real parents, because donkeys are notorious deadbeats. Fosters. Australian for donkey.

Here's your Actually True Australian Fact of the day. Of course ou already know about the 300 foot bronze statue of Steve Irwin in Queensland, but did you know that there's another 300 foot bronze statue of Steve Irwin sunk just off Brisbane Beach? Steve's land family wanted to make sure his water family — including his fish wife and all of his fish children — also got to honor him.

My spouse changed his Android Auto voice to "Australian Woman 1" (or whatever). Google recently removed the Google Assistant option from AnAuto, and AW1 has become more...emphatic as Gemini (🫠). Recently, I've been sending him Actually True Australian Facts for AW1 to read to him on his drive home:
Drive safe and thank you for tuning in to Actually True Australian Facts. Did you know that our national STD is chlamydia thanks to the loveable and promiscuous koala? It's actually true, mate!
