A picture of a black sign with white text in the Auschwitz museum. It reads: 3. Droga śmierci The road of death

On Sunday, I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau.

It left a hole in me. But I’m glad I did it.

since my most recent video came out i have wanted to try my hand at researching and coming up with a more thoughtful gerudo design grounded in a real life culture. i’m not a great illustrator, but i tried my best. here is a palestinian-inspired gerudo!

We've just passed $20,000!

I hate that when an app tells me that there's a new AI feature, my options are "get started" or "remind me later".

My response is "no, do not show again".

My drawing for @paulscottcanavan.com ‘s MIR mentorship course. It was tough, it was a big leap in my skillset as an artist but I came away with a lot of good advice for moving forward and some new friends!

April 5 🌹 12 PDT

This was the last trailer we made together at Studio Grackle. It never felt right to say it before the release, but I closed the studio a year ago.

Thank you to @supergiantgames.bsky.social for always supporting us, and being the best creative partner I could’ve ever asked for.

I feel like I should do something hilarious for my 69th donation.

Maybe I'll see if they can give me a blood transfusion while I donate.

I'll workshop it.

Steve in blue and white stripped overalls. He’s giving a big thumbs up while donating in a maroon recliner. Flowers and mushrooms censor donation site and visible donated blood in tubes or bags. He’s wearing a black KN95 mask.

68th donation. 🎉

I wish I had the time and energy to sit down and write down all of my thoughts (in a clear and concise way) on how races -> species was a positive move, but never addressed the inherent colonialist views of D&D, which IMO is why "races" was a "problem" in the first place.

You got this! Next time we go for 11. Before you know it, you’re at 100 and then 400. 😤

Gym selfie. Steve looks VERY tired and sweaty but chest and shoulders are swollen. Wearing a D&D pride tank.

Screenshot of a time keeping app. 60 second timer for 40 cycles,40 minute workout.

Google do. Screen shot. It just says 400 pushups.

Got inspired to try a new workout. It’s called “400 pushups”. Here’s the breakdown:

400 pushups

Went pretty well!

My biggest learning is: I still hate running.

So now I know I’m a beast even when I’m just doing prolonged suffering. (No offence to my running friends. I’m sure it’s great for you - and know I’m mildly jealous.)

I want to go back to training with a mask on. I’m a very high risk transmitter because I travel for work.

I felt like for this training program, I needed to have as much in my favour as possible. Now I can see what I can push and tolerate.

Terrible picture of Steve’s treadmill and his watch lol. Even though it’s supposed to show you valuable numbers, it must be in the middle of changing. Some numbers don’t show up at all.

Steve giving a 🤙🏽 on his treadmill. He’s SO sweaty and tired lmao.

Steve after another workout and taking a mirror selfie. Dumbbells around him. Black tank and black joggers. Hair is in a high ponytail but most of it has fallen out. Still sweaty. Looks great in the shoulders and chest.

I did it. I ran 5km in 30 minutes.

I’m on the 9th and final week of a training program.

Long C19 still weighs on me (HR skyrockets after only a minute and doesn’t recover properly), but I feel more resilient and tolerant of cardiovascular stress.

domain expansion.

I wonder if there's a lot of JJK inflation fetish art.

imo in dnd:

1 is 1. 2 is basically 1. 3 is definitely 3. 4 is 3. 5 is 5, I think. I think 6 is also 5. 7, 8, 9, and 10 are 10, I think. 11 I think is also 10. 12 is 12, 13 is 14, and I think 15 is definitely 15. 16, 17, and 18 are all 18. 19 is also 18. And 20 is obviously 20.

Gmail is pushing more AI suggestions to me.

The machine can’t taste, so it shouldn’t tell me how to cook.

Steve taking a mirror selfie from a treadmill. Sweaty and tired but accomplished. Black tank, black sweats, hat tied into half ponytail.

Steve sitting on a dumbbell and taking a gym mirror selfie. Same black tank and black sweats. Half ponytail is hilarious shooting straight up lol. I thought it was kinda cute.

I was finally able to finish a 20 min run, just over 2mi//3km. It’s not much but…

I’ve talked about how hard it’s been to improve my cardio vascular. HR spikes to 160 bpm, comes down after 5 min, chest pain, etc.

But I started a gentle 9 week program. And… it feels good to see progress finally. 🥹

Stakt. It’s pricier than similar places in the area but… yeah…

Their sliders are good and they cut a deal for three. And their popcorn chicken is decent.

But yes. This was wholly a mistake. 😭

They’re a local brewery that just recently changed their menu so… like I’m trying to be understanding.

But my patience has a limit.

I do kinda like when you get a glizzy that you have to take for an inch or so before you get to bun.

…but that’s not the point! Lmao 😂

SAME.

Honestly I may just buy a pack and play around with this idea - purely out of spite.

I was originally gonna say something about culture is not a costume but I really didn’t feel like it capture how mad I was at this.

This is much closer.

Hold on. A sliced brat inside a baguette with pickled cabbage. Liquid aminos or fish sauce. Maybe even like a specially made grüne soße?

Hey now…

They’re local and like just went through a re-brand so like… I get they’re still trying to find their menu…-

but yeah. this was a travesty.

But a banh mi glizzy could totally work! That’s the worst part.

Even as glizzies go, like ignoring banh mi elements, it’s REAL rough. And the price??????????
