Sorry for the delay, but it's update time! Surely Jericho just wants to be properly informed about a potential danger that he is absolutely not about to go chasing after? Right?

Adventures in playing in traffic: Today I get to bring photos of animals and random crap back to myself and hang out in weird places!

Photo of a cardboard sign left in the grass along a highway, reading "I come for the Hookers and the BLOW" with other trash visible
Photo of the underside of a 4+ lane highway overpass taken from the side of an onramp. Graffiti is visible on the back wall.

I don't think I can put the hookers and blow sign on a report cover tho

I have been sucked back into Animal Crossing. I have been playing most the day, working on my Borderlands themed island. (I'm Jack lol)

I gotta finish fixing up Helios (my nice high end area) and junk up the rest more. I have soooo many flowers running out of hand. Halp.

Hi Jeremy! ❤️

(Long time no crow post, I need to get the trail cam set up again.)

We are getting a brand new corporate level printer delivered today. I am the printer whisperer, so I'm preparing myself for a deal with a new devil and pray that it will be kind to me.

I have pretty much concluded that our basement is cursed. It was one area of the house we did not renovate when we moved it because we thought the 80s dad den wood paneling was hilarious.

Dad den, why have you forsaken us??

Hello sir, I would like to file a cawplaint about tray being empty.

Employee reviews are coming up again and I am going to try to convince my overlords that they should let me maintain the company website again instead of paying a third party to do so.

"Yeah, the site is WP which I've been using since before it was WP, and they didn't even build your custom theme from scratch like I would have, they dropped it into a builder app, also I know the business better they they do, my personal website is old enough to vote, i could be saving you money "

😉😉

Correction: my website is old enough to legally drink in the US. And it wasn't even the first domain I started on, it's just the one I kept from the old days because like hell will I let anyone take schism dot org from me! It'll be willed to my child, paid up for 50 years when I die hahaha

Squishmallows your villains

Squishvillains, if you will.

Thanks for triggering the cam blue jay, always cool to catch a shot of the crows swooping in!

A blue jay snacks from a tray on a patio table, but soon flies off as two crows glide in for a landing to get their own breakfast

@synduckate the jays know who's boss here lol. Except during nesting season then they are ready to FITE the crows xD

Tru facts: I love posting pinups/art of men in more stereotypical feminine ways because it's a GREAT way to weed out toxic mindset undesirables lol. (Also it's just really fun to draw!)

Also be warned, if anyone come into my replies with "wtf is this shit?" I'm going to reply with even MORE of that shit until the trash takes itself out. :D

I got a write-up in PC Gamer for doing this shit, just try and come at me. ☺️

Note to self: replace the metal bowl for plastic before winter sets in. Don't want the crows little feets getting frozen to the edge! :O

Biblically accurate D20. I do miss playing DnD.

I have a very small few of these left as stickers in my Ko-Fi shop!

I'm still so annoyed by our current lame sci-fi future. We don't get to fight Skynet and terminators via time travel. We don't get to escape the Matrix. We can't even get hoverboards right!

Instead we get to watch economic, environmental and academic collapse at the hands of a bot that tells us to eat one small rock daily. So lame.

@synduckate I'm still hoping for a V for Vendetta moment. That would make me feel better!

I am very tech savvy. I get to play informal it support in the office.

But I stg, in 10-15 years when my kids is a proper adult, I'm going to pretend I forgot everything I know I constantly pester them with "How do I do this again??"

Because it'll be my right at that point lol.

@Newbabyfly@schism.ink avatar Newbabyfly , to random

It's actually a nice thing that I have a high backlog of art to post here. Because when you're working on a long-form webcomic that eats up most of my time to draw it looks like I'm not doing any art. I very much am but I am slow and webcomics hard and time-consuming! 💀

@Newbabyfly@schism.ink avatar Newbabyfly , to random

It's also very funny to be watching bsky shit on Mastodon and then see Mastodon shitting on itself.

Newbabyfly OP ,
@Newbabyfly@schism.ink avatar

@synduckate oh I think it's hilarious, and I appreciate it when people/communities don't take themselves too seriously. The ability to laugh at yourself is a good thing cause ain't no one/no place perfect! 🤭

Oh right, today is the stream with the guy who finally reaches the Minecraft far lands

@volpeon oh shit, has it started already? Might have to pull that up and watch too!

@Newbabyfly@schism.ink avatar Newbabyfly , to random

Drew a quick sketch idea of this maybe seven years back. Never finished. Revisited it last year and finished it and I'm very glad I did.

Okay name cheap. You've been an awesome host for many many years, but in the past two weeks or so my site has gone down multiple times with various 500 errors. First time I thought it was my fault and that I did something stupid in the coding (which ended up not being the case because it didn't even upload) so I don't know what's causing it.

I don't think it's this instance. Maybe it's the oekaki board? But it's pissing me off

@Newbabyfly@schism.ink avatar Newbabyfly , to random

Oh great. Not only are they blaring music from the street speakers outside my office today, there is a security sensor inside the office that is beeping every 30 seconds.

Today is going to be fun.

What's the oldest piece of machinery that you own that still works, for its original purpose, in (mostly!) its original state?

@Newbabyfly@schism.ink avatar

@NanoRaptor we can still hook up and play my husband's original Atari 2600 we can play on if we want. It takes 3 different adapters for modern TVs these days, but it works!

Okay new instance so new !
