For Mermay, behold the boobtopus! Here a rather young specimen. (I'll be posting a bunch of MerMay related images in the coming weeks, a lot of them will contain nude breasts, if you don't want to see them I recommend you mute my #MutantMaids tag.) #MerMay #MutandMaids #nudity #breasts

a square format cartoon of an octopus-like creature looking directly at the viewer, but instead of tentacles it has breasts. it sits in the middle of the image surrounded by a lot of white space. titled "young boobtopus"

I apologize in advance but the more scary it becomes to look for work off the books the more I have to plug my Patreon :/ $2 a month gets you lots of text, $5 gets you texts and audio. It’s a pretty good deal imo! www.patreon.com/fucktheory

All design that holds, all form that persists, arises from field-conditioned feedback, not from projection.

very early spring tapestries made of wild plum blossoms and overcast skyes #bloomscrolling #photography

closeup of a twig of wild plum blossoms. They are white, have five petals each, a little pink accent towards the middle and yellow dots at the ends of their stigmas and stamens. The photo was taken on an overcast day, and the white of the petals merges with the white of the sky showing through in the out of focus background

a similar view as the last image, but zoomed out a bit more, showing more of the blossoms at once, and increasing the slightly disorienting effect of how the foreground and background merge

the ornamental quince maybe two weeks ago, before the sun came out #bloomscrolling #photography #pink

a closeup of a part of an ornamental quince bush in early bloom, showing an image cris-crossed by dark grey-brown twigs, a few still small green leaves, and dotted by the very pink blossoms and buds

a similar view as before, but this one focusing more on one particular blossom, and how it plays off against the pink dots of other out of focus blossoms in the background

winter tapestries. winter was such a long time ago! #photography

a misty valley in winter, showing a frosted meadow and some bare shrubbery through the out of focus branches of some more bare shrubbery. an image in various shades of gray

branches and twigs of a group of bare trees on a misty, frosty day making abstract dark patterns against a light ground. some green moss on the branches is the only saturated color

the frosty crown of a small tree seen against a darker gray background

very early spring tapestries, already turning green as I post this #photography #bloomscrolling #spring

a view of the space where two blossoming plum trees meet, a sea of white blossoms and black branches on a grey overcast day

similar to the previous image, but the green horizon line a bit more clearly to make out behind the trees

similar to the previous image, but focusing on only one of the trees

again similar to previous images, but focusing on the other of the two trees

the world: "..." me: "did you know that tulips are pretty? No? Here let me show you!" #bloomscrolling #tulip #photography

closeup of a yellow and orange tulip seen from above, focused on the tips of its petals, with its dark insides visible but out of focus, and the ground and foliage below in shadow and out of focus. it is hit by bright low morning sun coming from the right side of the image. its stigma is visible as a dark yellow shape inside

by the time I am posting this everything is looking very different again already #bloomscrolling #photography #spring #buds

closeup of budding shoots on a twig of a fruit tree on an overcast day, an image in muted greys, greens and browns and some yellow from the lichen on the twigs

closeup of flower buds on a similar twig

the first of the tulips at dawn, in the morning sun, later as the day went on #bloomscrolling #tulips #photography

closeup of a pink tulip flower in soft blueish light, still closed, in front of blue-green foliage

closeup of a pink tulip flower in bright sunlight coming from the left, flower still closed, in front of out-of-focus green foliage and some shadows on a road. The shadows of the tulip petals on each other are a deep pinkish orange.

the same tulip now fully open, showing its deep dark orange insides, black markings and stamens, and yellow stigma

I am really looking forward to when the tulips are going to come in and release me from all this yellow posting. Forsythias also pretty though :3 #bloomscrolling #photography #forsythia

closeup of a twig of forsythias in bright sunlight in front of an out of focus background of more forsythias, twigs, and bits of blue sky beyond

closeup of a different twig of forsythias in bright sunlight in front of an out of focus background of more forsythias and a lot of dark shadow areas

closeup of a single yellow forsythia in bright sunlight in front of an out of focus background of more forsythias, twigs, and large areas of intensely blue sky. the orange pattern inside the forsythia is clearly visible

how do photographers ever rest when the light keeps changing in the most delicious ways all day long???? #bloomscrolling #photography #daffodils

the same daffodil as in the previous image, very similar setup, only now the sun has moved and the daffodil is more of a dark shape against a mostly bright background

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

I swear I don't even like daffodils, they are just hardy as fuck and somehow keep sticking around. And what can I do when the light hits that one *just so* #bloomscrolling #photography #daffodils

closeup of a yellow daffodil flower lit by morning sun from the right side, in front of a dark background on the right and light background on the left side of the image

closeup of a yellow daffodil flower lit by morning sun from the right side, seen front on emphasizing its symmetry, in front of an out of focus black and light blue background

Just going by the plot summary it seems very optimistic though regarding the development & amount of resistance in the general population as well as in the army, compared to what I remember from the later actual history of fascist governments :'|

I would so not enjoy a trip like that. I am the same about my routines, if I can't keep up at least the pared down travel version of them AND I can't get significant alone time I basically teeter along the edge of meltdown until I can

it feels like stealing back pleasure and exuberance from a world that denies it to you (for once I have the *perfect* pfp)

he was! he was abused as a child by his own parents (who also used to be nazis...), but always steadfast and gentle with me. the acid and weed might have had something to do with that :)

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

...and my dad used to be a weed and acid dealer for 7 years (before I was born), and before that used to sometimes shoplift for money, but that seems to always have been pretty chill for him, too.

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

I never really had anything worth stealing, and that is probably also obvious to most people that see me or had a look at my room or whatever. When I do have money it goes to art books and art supplies and that stuff is not useful for robbing lol

I've lived in a converted warehouse with 13 other people and a lot of through traffic, and a friend had their watch stolen from besides their pillow while they were sleeping ... but also they had a fancy watch to begin with.

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

I think for me the most likely thing would be to get my bike stolen, but I've never had the kind of bike that would be worth stealing.

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

All the bits of the city the yellow press likes to scandalize as "problems" (Alexanderplatz, Goerli) ... are just not white enough for their taste afaict, but have never seemed especially dangerous to me. Nor have I heard from friends experiencing such things there.

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

"druggy and touristy" does not equal "poor" or "cheap" there at all. stuff is complicated. I'd consider it much more likely for me to be murdered by a car driver while on my bike than to be robbed there.

110

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

... but I've lived there for a long time passing through those parts of the city that are considered exceptionally druggy and touristy and the worst thing that happened to me was dealers being annoying while hawking their wares.

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Uh, *raises hand, but I am poor *in Europe* maybe that's it? I've lived in some parts of London where I definitely could have been, it just didn't happen. I would not expect it to happen in most "poor" parts of Berlin either, only some exceptionally druggy AND touristy ones maybe.

moar moss scapes. maybe one of these days I turn them into landscape paintings, so enticing to make something concept art-y from them...

another fence post top, seen more from above, with only tiny islands of green moss growing on it, but more ice crystals and dark canyons bridged by spiderwebs in the wood, also the steel worked into the middle of the fence post more visible in this one

another fence post top with a lush and varied assortment of bright green mosses

a more complete view of the fence post in the previous image

the first really cold frosty morning of this winter I discovered these marvelous moss scapes covering the tops of a bunch of fence posts just a stone's throw from my front door #moss #photography

a closeup of the edge of a broad fence post covered with a slight layer of ice crystals and a puff of bright green moss in the back. the light is overcast and even, grey-ish, the photo taken with a large aperture rendering everything other than the front edge out of focus

a closeup of the top of another fence post, seen from a slightly bigger distance than the first, even more covered in green and reddish moss and a breath of ice crystals, as well as some (now iced) spiderwebs spanning dark gaps in the wood

a closeup of the top of another fence post, showing the whole of the top, the left half of which shows the rugged structure of the massive wood of the post, the right half covered in green moss, with a dark chasm between them

I was in a relationship once where sometimes we would meet for breakfast or catch up when my partner was coming back/down from a night out and I was starting my day...

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Still it is always a tradeoff that I can feel in my body and sometimes I get sad about this being the case. I love (sometimes) spending time with people! But I never feel as good as when I get up at 2:30. *sigh

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Ugh I love this for you! I get up at the same time, but have to coordinate dinner (and thus going to bed) with others, so can't go to bed as early. I have a 3h nap in the forenoon instead. And sometimes I go places where more of my friends live and temporarily adjust to more sociable hours.

Make an economy where being a dirtbag is a viable lifestyle option, and you create a society that, as a side effect, allows people to create cool shit. An economy friendly to dirtbags is friendly to *everyone* with a weird cool hobby.
