Dog has decided she doesn’t like food... again. Why she does this, I don’t understand.

Yes. She’s okay. Just goes through these phases where she doesn’t want to eat. It’s like she gets tired of the chore of eating.

Going to try making her food.

I'm considering moving my primary mastodon activity away from (currently dead) manowar.social :loading:

I'm thinking of trying to compartmentalize my(net)self a bit, and make specialized accounts.
I already have this one as a personal alt, but I might convert it to :crt_w_green_lines: weird-tech-cybre-dreams

Probable accounts:
:crt_w_prompt: tech ideas and exploits
:blobross: art & culture

Please boost, as I only have 11 followers here and @ me with suggestions! :thaenkin:

Since I have to requery my first book and it’s not going well, I’ve decided to switch gears and write an adult fantasy, but with a twist.

Think Wheel of Time meets Good Omens, where the heroes decide instead of saving the world, they are going to break the wheel and put an end to ages of heroes/villains.

Goal is to make it as crazy funny as possible.

Me: What a week! Whew!
Also me: It’s only Tuesday.
Me: ...
Me: *muttering* God damn it...

‪Look at this. The low tonight is 18 F in Austin. No. Just no. Go home winter, you’re drunk.‬

‪Also, everyone affected by this front stay safe tomorrow. ‬

Got Steward (the rabbit) fixed yesterday. He had some minor problems, forcing me to get up several times in the night to clean and feed him.

He's fine today, but I'm tired!

Get your rabbits fixed! It will double their lifespan from 5 to 10 years!

Why are people shocked to learn I love heavy/death metal music? This puzzles me to no end.

(For the record, I also love classical music and am getting a taste for techno.)

Oh. Forgot a tag! @ekaitz_zarraga I got the fairy dragon all finished. Very happy with the little guy. Pics are in the above toot.

‪Finished painting my fairy dragon! He is made of green stuff and wire. ‬

‪The elf with the mask is my new character. She came from HeroForgeMinis.

This is incredible.

Raptors in Northern Australia are intentionally spreading fire as a hunting strategy, making human firefighting efforts more difficult.

They pick up burning sticks and drop them elsewhere to start new fires.

Enjoy the fire! I know I did, it was about 40 F during the night and I’m a wimp!

‪As promised, I would upload when I finished the latest project. A fairy dragon! This is the most I’ve worked with green and probably the smallest mini I’ve made to date!‬

Onto painting!

‪Last time I played D&D, my Dragonborn sorcerers got killed. By willow-wisps, no less. ‬

‪Thankfully, I was plotting another character. I ordered a new mini from HeroForge, and now I’m modifying it.‬

‪Added potions and extra coattails. More to come.‬ Yes, I’m working on something in the background. More to come!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to whatever you celebrate. And if you don’t or can’t celebrate, have a great Monday and take care of you today! I wish the best to all.
