And looking at the preview for what I’m pretty sure was an AI generated animal video on Instagram, I’m struck by how ecologically unsound it is not just to use up a crap ton of water on this shit, but also to have a public no longer sure animals and landscapes are irreplaceable with convenient glurge.

@Tuftears you’re not going to believe this, but one of the things Mt. Hiei monks were notorious for were marching into Kyoto with portable shrines (and weapons) to demand concessions from local authorities- including tax breaks for breweries they owned. The idea being, you can’t get them to leave without caving or violence and what sort of nimrod attacks monks?

well I got suspended from Bluesky for three days, and appealed it as per below;

My email states that I "posted content that violates our Community Guidelines related to Respectful Discourse," but I have no idea what that could be. I haven't THREATENED anyone, and the closest thing I can think of is mentioning having suicidal thoughts then bypassing them, so I ask that you please either re-enstate my account or tell me what I supposedly did wrong.

in my anxiety/lack-o-sleep haze I notice the electric kettle has a line for maximum fill, and a line for "Tea Max."

Teamaxing. Darjeelingbrained. Completely oolong-pilled. This is where my ex-boyfriend would chime in and says it sounds right lovely.

@Tuftears I assume it works as a Buddhist deal, where sometimes violence works out to be the most compassionate action you can take. (Although historically most times monks have taken up weapons for spectacularly earthy reasons.)

Oh yeah also here are tonight’s #drawings

oh wow

okay, so my fighter/barbarian tripped balls on whatever this magical fog is. The DM described seeing the forms of orcs hunting in the fire. I made a joke about seeing the ancestors and taking a level in Cleric.

FIVE MINUTES LATER I realized that she'd just had the setup to becoming a totem warrior as her barbarian path. She is now sure she saw, and spoke with, the spirit of the great Shivan Wurm.

ME: if my D&D character dies, I can play a minotaur monk whose fangs and horns are filed blunt to show his embrace of non-violence

ALSO ME: he was a wandering monster until the day he ambushed a group of monks meditating on the sound of one hand clapping and his bellowed “MU” impressed the master.

#drawings today

uhhh not to be rude but Betty Boop horror is BETTY BOOP.

Like the most famous Betty Boop cartoons are; Betty runs away from home/visits her evil stepmama/goes to chew out the mean Old Man of the Mountain, and then for no particularly good reason, Cab Calloway shows up as a monster and sings at her.

Do NOT promise me SCARY BETTY BOOP unless you're gonna have a Danny Elfman soundtrack. He's like the only dude who could successfully write a Cab Calloway musical number in 2025.

oh yeah everyone's always talking about Boba Fett this or Andor that but noooo, nobody ever thinks twice about Ki Adi-Mundi do they? He had a CONE HEAD, that's cool!

... edit. While making this shitpost, I discovered that apparently fans have a relatively justifiable hate for Ki.

wow I'm old

it's weird, you'd figure that animation is a great fit for Tolkien and with Peter Jackson and Phillipa Boyens managing production it would be a runaway success, but "Merry and Pippin Go to the White Castle" somehow tanked in theaters

One more #colored #drawing for today.

@ziphi well NOW, you've got me turning up, and turning down, I'm turning in, and turning round.
