I often end up trying or buying things if they have an alligator on them or are gator-related. I found a drink called Halfday lemon iced tea and it's got a cool looking alligator on it.
I made myself an Emotional Support Dumpster Fire. #crochet @c3dumpsterfire
I originally started this without the big light source, but then he looked incredibly dead on the inside, so I added the light knowing that it makes no dang sense with the rest of the universe in it, but shrug

Looking towards the past
Back turned, away from present
My maddening mist
Serpentine struggles
Turpentine resin that binds
The whole of the mind
My mantra is sound
Freeing us thoughts, who are bound
Ascend to the stars
All of these hot takes about how Mastodon is too hard to use for mass adoption are missing the point entirely. We are not some tech startup trying to "disrupt" the social media ecosystem. We don't have VCs breathing down our necks pushing for continuous growth at all costs. We're just regular people out here building communities.
If people don't like Mastodon and decide to go back to Twitter, that's fine. They are not commodities to be exploited. If people like Mastodon and decide to stay, that's great! They are going to be more invested in the community because they are actually deriving real value from it.
If there's one thing the global capitalist system cannot fathom is that value can exist that is not fungible with monetary value. There are plenty of ways to create value for people that do not involve buying and selling. In fact the whole notion that value = monetary value is a relatively recent innovation in human history.
I'm not saying that capitalism doesn't have its benefits, but our minds have become so warped by its zero-sum game vision of the world that it's easy to believe that generating profits is the only thing that matters. We may have to play that game to justify our existence on this planet, but there's a whole world of value to be found outside of it. Just because we're forced to play the game doesn't mean the game is all there is.
i was gonna make a different post but went to get a picture of this dog and this wiki page fucking jumpscared me with "marital status: no one knows"
I havenāt drawn anything other than technical drawings for probably a couple of years now, but a week ago my friend and I spent $3 on a box of crayons and then spent the whole evening taking it in turns drawing and itās been so re-invigorating.
It feels kind of like the time Iād fallen out of love with photography; digging out a basic 35mm point-and-shoot for a holiday and having to get creative with the limited capabilities completely reignited the joy for me. I think being faced with creative limitations tends to inspire fun through pushing the boundaries of constraints.
So naturally I broke the crayons back out today to have a go at animating a two-frame gif in crayon (blatantly based on another gif whose artist I canāt track down!).

Sometimes you just hit a wall in a conversation because you realize that you can't argue someone into this.
So we flew through all of vanilla SM
