Headed to my first meet-up with stationery friends in Cincinnati (AND I met a bunch of fountain pen friends at the Pelikan Hub on Friday night), so I'm basically living my best life??? Pretty heckin' cool feeling.🫶🏻

A small bird in the parking lot of a local park, standing in front of a discarded cigarette and a pile of sprinkles. (It opted for the sprinkles, in case you were wondering.)

Literally just asked @chronogem.bsky.social this morning if he would still be my collab partner if I were a worm, and he said he would set up a worm cam for future Skrimbo Sesh episodes 🪱✨

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

I rewatched this part with a friend tonight (don't judge me), and Apple had a HEDGEHOG on-screen that I MISSED because of this guy's weird cult vibes. I'm pretty sure that's a felony.

There’s a squirrel at the park who has been hurling small branches to the ground for hours, and I like the idea that he’s working on an “open-concept tree.”

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Today, I watched someone run a red light and then turn into the DMV parking lot, and I'm deeply disappointed that the parking lot didn't magically split open to swallow them whole.

Some parts of the resin are clear, allowing you to see through to the nib and cartridge/converter.

Nature valentines. This comic is now available as a set of 6 Valentines cards: topatoco.com/collections/...
A group of six nature valentines. A picture of a bog with pitcher plants, with text saying "Our love is like a bog. Built up over time, resistant to decay, deeply interesting to just a small number of people." A yellow slime mold stretching out and exploring. "Our love is like a slime mold. Collaborative, complex, at times unnerving to behold." A piece of limestone with a small trilobite in the corner. "Our love is like limestone. Layered, useful for many purposes, shaped by the friends we met along the way." A ring-billed gull with a french fry on a beach. "Our love is like a ring-billed gull. Abundant, found in North America, sometimes sustained by french fries." An Atlantic horseshoe crab walking on the sand. "Our love is like a horseshoe crab. Tough, timeless, unrelated to true crabs." A drawing of the phosphorus cycle, with arrows connecting various parts of a scene, including algae and fish and a farm and a river and a forest. "Our love is like the phosphorus cycle. Important, really hard to draw."

I didn’t expect to end the year at a hockey game with friends, but honestly, it was pretty great. Cincinnati crushed Indy, the indoor fireworks were actually cool, and the creepy mascot stayed far away from me. Happy New Year, Bluesky cuties! 🪩✨
View of the hockey arena right after the game ended, with the Jumbotron showing “Cyclones win!” The Cincinnati players are all gathering in the middle to celebrate their victory.The hockey rink has multiple indoor fireworks shooting up from the ground and flames erupting from pyrotechnic devices. The Cyclones mascot, Twister, is on the ice, staring at some flames from the pyrotechnic device. From the neck down, he looks like a normal hockey player, but his head is some sort of plush tornado monstrosity with crazy eyes.

“Heated patio” DOES make more sense to put on a roadside sign, but I was really enjoying the ten seconds when I thought it said “heated potato.” 🥲
