I'm so happy for you! It's tough out there! 🫂

I started redoing the entire house last year and each change makes such a difference!

It looks so cosy and inviting! Nothing like creating a space you can let go in and breathe. :-)

Can you get it in the US? I think I read about it being a thing in some places with mainly German heritage...
The rules are super strict in Germany about timelines and such. (Like it has to be sold the day of butchering), though you can get packaged stuff with preservatives.

Off the top of my head:
Fried chicken stomachs. I loved them as a kid, but now... eh... not so much.
Runner up: Mettbrötchen. Raw ground beef and/or pork with salt, pepper, and raw onion on bread or rolls. (I'd actually still eat this, but most other folks say it's weird. ;-) )

I think I want to make the next move on my creepy doll restauration. 🤔

Hey, as long as you don't have to break out the dart gun! 😅

Well why aren't they better yet? Huh? Huh? Huuuuh?! 😅

Germans take their noise levels and quiet times *very* seriously. 😅

That *is* a dilemma!
As a fellow pencil hoarder, I feel your pain!
I'm sure you'll make the right choice! ;-)

Do iiit! It's medicinal! ;-)

A small plain brown sketchbook and four tubes of acrylic paint: - Red Oxide artist acrylics by Golden - Unbleached Titanium, Alizarin Crimson, and Hooker's Green Heavy Body Acrylics by Liquitex

Got some fancy schmancy acrylic paint (all my fancies were cool for some reason, so I needed to add some warmth) and a sketchbook.
And then happened to walk by a trimmings shop, so I also got a ball of red chenille yarn and some grey drill fabric for making a corset dress for a wedding in summer. 🥰

Now I want to crochet him a lil jumper.
He's perfect and deserves to be cosy! 😍

Had a rough week, but issokay... I bought art supplies about it! 😅

Aw, thank you! :-)
It started out a disaster, so I'm happy (and a bit surprised) with how it ended. ;-)

That sounds amazing! So proud of you! :-)

Also your
But it's going on 4 a.m., so I'm taking that as my cue to go to bed! 😅😅

Damn it... ROOFTOPS
But I like the sound of Rooftoos, so I'm keeping it! Haha!

I embrace your enthusiasm!
SHOUT YOYR JOY FROM THE ROOFTOOS!

I'd love to play with you some time!
Hey, psst, @stresshoop.bsky.social *hint* *hint* ;-)

If it's mobile, it's probably a bit smaller than a massive concert harp and can be easily moved. They get zipped into protective bags like a guitar and then carried or rolled.
I don't play it myself, but I've seen buskers packing theirs up.

There was plenty of food, but it was forcibly exported.
It's wild that the myth of "all they had was potatoes and then the potatoes died" is still hanging on.

You're right! It's colonialism and genocide all the way down, any time you scratch a famine surface.

😊😊
I almost gave up on it, but I'm glad I didn't! :-)

I think you might be right!

New painting. :-)

It's awful even in theoretically wealthy nations. In 2024 22% of our electricity went to datacenters nationwide. Some sources say it's way higher now. Prices are skyrocketing to unaffordable levels and we're dealing with an incoming energy shortage. But sure... more data centres everywhere! 🤬

Photo of a section of screen, showing the words: "adhere to local (to the customer and y" "This is not a suggestion. It is the law."

Today's level of "are you kidding me?!"

Why do I constantly have to remind people that
A - customers are people and people have rights
B - laws are different in different places
*sigh*

That's definitely the template, sadly. Fucking corporations.

And that's why I hope the artists will be in a position to give Marvel a two fingered salute.

Whoa...
Welcome to them fully embracing the slop, I guess?

Oh I hope they'll all get way better jobs with more money, so they can say no when they're asked to come back in a year or two!

You're a good egg!

PSA: check your smoke alarms! Every week!

(Totally not brought to you by me forgetting about my eggs until they started exploding! Nope! I would never do that!)
