Please enjoy my Murderbot pumpkin (without making direct eye contact with it)
A white pumpkin being held aloft by a hand in an outdoor scene. There are concentric circles carved out of it in the pattern of TV Murderbot's helmet.

Someone did make it through to the next round by being trilingual. And aghhh popping your shoulder out of its socket 😬😬😬 That hurts me.

Fair and probably pretty normal, honestly.

If it's a particularly memorable and impressive one, then maybe! 🥲

I have been thinking about this all night and I love knowing about people's stupid human tricks and secret skills.

So the latest episode of @gamechanger.dropout.tv was all about showcasing little talents, but over and over, off the cuff, and you couldn't do the same thing twice. I can think of 2, /maybe/ 3 impressive enough things I could do. But what would you do if given no props and no time to prepare?

We've gotten very lucky with her touring schedule, she for some reason visits the southeast a lot? 😅 But yeah, we love having this Maria link that helped bring us together.

clinched it for her that we both loved Maria's comedy. We've seen her live close to 10 times and she just gets better every time. I can't wait for more people to know her and love her. Thanks for the joy over the years, @mariabamford.bsky.social 💙

Goddddd I cannot wait to see this. I'm so glad she's getting her due a little bit more. When my wife and I met online 15 years ago, one of her dating profile pics was her meeting Maria and when I messaged her I was like OMG you know Maria Bamford?? and it was (apparently) the thing that >

Agh god I have such a phone phobia, too, maybe that's it?? I feel so much more comfortable ordering at a counter. Especially if I can stand back for a minute and get my bearings and know exactly what I'm going to order. Ugh.

WHY IS IT THE WORST. I literally have to look up the menu to prep myself and I'm STILL a mess.

I just would like to give a shoutout to all of the drive-thru workers out there with patience. Never is my autism more of an issue than when I have to order at a gd drive-thru and every single employee who's ever patiently walked me through that process has made my entire day.

Started as a little study and became another one of the 'Secret Society of Unpractical Headpieces in Space' series (that still does not exist) 🪐

sewing machine are neglecting to reconcile that though the effort may be different on a machine like a computer or sewing machine, it's still /there/. AI removes any effort, thought, or care that would otherwise go into 'creating' something.

Also, that machine-made clothes analogy just doesn't work. That's like saying "some people write stories out by hand and some people type them out on a typewriter!" The difference there is that a human person wrote both of them. These people that just view AI like it's a tool similar to a

Shoutout to the VITs (very important tummies) in this frame, which I made sure to highlight 😌😌😌 Pls enjoy my original sketch and the note that I left for myself to remember to leave that part uncovered by a shirt 😅
A snapshot of an iPad screen on which is a rough sketch in Procreate of Stede and Ed from Our Flag Means Death. There is an arrow pointing to Ed's exposed tummy that says VIT!

Ahh yay! So pleased to have been a part of another beautiful frames project with frame number 63. Go show the whole project some love, everyone worked so hard on it! #ofmd
A still from the La Vie En Frames animatic project. It is a digital portrait of Stede and Ed from Our Flag Means Death season 2, episode 6. Stede has Ed backed up against the wall and is holding him by his jacket lapels. Ed has a hand on Stede's shoulder. They are looking deeply into each other's eyes. There is Very Important Tummy happening. The frame is illustrated in dreamy pinks and purples.
