Been painting these ornaments lately. I kinda love them.

Five have painted ornaments, including three mari lwyd skeletal horses, a variable flying fox fruit bat and a Peacock feather

Six photos of have painted ornaments. A Discworld death of rats that glows in the dark, two different luna moths, a peacock father and a bat

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

A light skinned hand holds a small miniature painting in front of a lot of art supplies
The painting is about four inches square and shows a young red fox kit peeking out of its den. The den is under a swath of moss, and the whole scene is surrounded by melting snow.

The evening's entertainment included earnestly explaining to the dog that, despite her big beautiful eyes & vacant expression, she does not, alas, qualify as an Amine Girl. This by virtue of her shih tzu & pomeranian ancestry, which gave her itty bitty legs & a mouth the size of a hotel waffle iron.

Playing a homebrew D&D game, and I've been illustrating some of the loot and artifacts. I'm not a very skilled digital artist, so this is a good excuse to practice! This cube is based on 19th cent. reliquary jewelry boxes. #DnD #GIMP #DungeonsAndDragons #DigitalArt #ArtYear #crystal #Art

A digitally painted faceted crystal box, assembled with some kind of metallic framing The outline is octagonal, but the overall impression is of a beveled cube

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

I'm finally getting into the habit of streaming an active soundtrack during the discord TTRPG i run -- switching nature ambience throughout the session and then also playing spooky ambient music. It's probably nice for the players but it really helps ME get into the role

RFK Jr. #autism #rant was just a big mixup- He was extrapolating from a study by Barnes & Barnes, which concluded: *They can't play baseball *They don't wear sweaters *They're not good dancers *They don't play drums Unfortunately, the original subjects were *not* Autistic, so his data was skewed

A really rather horrible picture of a fish head wearing lipstick, false eyelashes and a party hat. A Screenshot from the original video for "Fish Heads" a song from 1980 by Barnes & Barnes, made popular in the Dr. Demento show.
The lyrics are as follows:

Fish heads, fish heads
Roly-poly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads
Eat them up, yum

Fish heads, fish heads
Roly-poly fish heads
Fish heads, fish heads
Eat them up, yum

In the morning, laughing, happy fish heads
In the evening, floating in the soup

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer, they can't talk

I took a fish head out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay to get it in

They can't play baseball, they don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers, they don't play drums

Roly-poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino
In Italian restaurants with Oriental women

Yeah

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer, they can't talk

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer, they can't talk

The image is about 3 inches wide by 1½ inches tall (the whole piece of paper is about 4 inches by 2 inches)
The original photo is of the beach below the Horton Point Lighthouse

Bonus #brown drawing for #AColorADaypril! We always called this sweetshrub but also known I believe as Carolina allspice and a little bonus brown butterfly!

Art piece of digital drawing of the branch of a sweetshrub bush with pointy bright green leaves, brown messy blooms and dark gray branch. There is a small brown butterfly with orange highlights on its wings landing on one of the leaves. The background is blue with lighter blue speckles to give some texture.

A group of trees with golden-yellow and pink blossoms stands tall against a brilliant blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
