From now through December 15th, I will donate all profits from sales of my three snarky holiday shirts to CoSo's donorbox. And for the next 28 hours they're on sale, as well!
(Caution, one of these designs is slightly naughty, so here's your NSFW warning)

@MrGoat Looks like the dashcam was somehow knocked down. 🤣
#20Artists20days. Your favorites, those that move you etc. Any reason. Post with art example if you like.
Day 3: The gauzy, melancholy paintings of Caspar David Friedrich. They get me.
Here is "Cemetery Entrance"
@eliredman @TheresaVermont
I have a library card. Love the library. They need our support more than ever.
@mcfate Thanks for the recommendation. Just ordered it.
For me, the best (so far) is "This is How You Lose the Time War" by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar.
Based on the description I see for "Lords of Light" I would also recommend "The Book of Strange New Things" by Michel Faber. Both of these are books that stick in the mind and provoke thought long after reading.
@mcfate Dude. Children of time is one of the best science fiction novels I've ever read. There are treats ahead.
It's Thursday, feeling a lil yachty again today, so:
(whoa, cool pixelation effect, dude)
@mcfate 🤣 😢
@MrGoat 🤣 😆
teabag for the douchebag

So now, even if I click a link, I will never go to x.com
Here's the next thing to do. I'm no longer happy to click on a link and see that I've just contributed to x.com's fortune. So I added these to my hosts file (actually PiHole for me). You may want to do the same:

I finally figured out that the ONLY reason I've kept my twatter accounts is that I didn't want anyone else to use my brand/product names.
A ridiculous reason to keep them. The time to move on was 2 years ago, but now it's imperative.
So there are 10 fewer X accounts today.
My post is not meant as a boast or virtue-signal, but as encouragement to (hopefully) wake you up and help you leave that platform, too, and to stop supporting the man-babies that are far too powerful and rich.
@Timmah1979 Every night I fall asleep reading (kindle) on my Galaxy Tab A. I know it's time to stop reading when it smacks my forehead.
