i'm currently in the bay area (sf/oakland) for the next month or so and i have no idea where to buy good coffee beans. what are some local coffee roastery recs?
i like going out to cafes too... but i usually make coffee with freshly ground beans in my aeropress every morning lol. starting to run low on the coffee beans i brought with me...
trying to recommend games to me is like trying to get a new toy for a cat. i'll give it a sniff and go "that's kind of neat i guess." and then go back to playing with the same beaten up toy i've been batting around for the past several years
very very very quick doodle of my catsona. (they/them only)
hiiiiiii

enjoying looking at plants that i've only seen at gardens and indoor plant conservatories and going "wow!"
bras are a lot like computers. it's generally better to go with wired setups if you can, because it'll give you more stability, but wireless is OK too.
i love when poppy is in the sunlight and her black fur reveals its chocolate brown undertones. she's so dark roast coffee... she's so 80% cacao dark chocolate
tulip the cat, now with glasses

current linux setup: Kubuntu with this theme (https://store.kde.org/p/1338879/) applied and tweaked a bit. i'm trying out the light-to-dark mode lifestyle out, because i've been honestly enjoying that over on macOS.
still on Kubuntu because... eueuuughh i'm too used to Debian based distros lol. with snap ripped out, it's fine.
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!
i took a two hour nap after taking these photos because i was so wiped from trying to do everything myself. forgot i had chronic fatigue for a while there. BUT I DID IT. I HAVE A DESK AGAIN. MY COMPUTER LIVES
it's nonbinary awareness week! perceive me and my nonbinary charms! wahaha!!!!

i made this post because i've been using my ipad more lately for non-art things. the screen ratio is nice. i hooked up my nuphy air96 v2 to it and using keyboard shortcuts on an ipad is, legitimately, delighting me. i can cmd+tab! i can bring up spotlight search! WOW!!!!!
yknow i think 4:3 is a pretty good aspect ratio for a screen

scientists are still not sure how the hell caramelization works. there's still so many mysteries in this world.
shoutout to the Maillard reaction. gotta be one of my favorite chemical reactions out there
was updating my profiles on both mastodon and bluesky, and realized i have the same exact amount of followers on both. that shit doesn't matter, but i am amused to see the same number twice
people need to stop "posting" online and start "POSTing". who up power-on-self-testing
i'm still not used to living with animals. having to consider things like "i need a proper closet door, or else poppy will put her little claws in all my clothes and try to climb them". but right now i am watching her sleep next to me on the couch. a little critter dreaming about mischief, probably
man... summer mornings are so pleasant. love to sip on an iced coffee and everything's still a bit cool outside...!!!!
loooooooooooong day. got a lot of work ahead of me still. but now i am in bed and i have a mandarin lavender scented candle going. delightful combo, imo, very fresh and pleasant
whenever i need to kick poppy the cat out of my room bc she's being a menace, i always scoop her up and do an impression of Trip from Facade when he forcibly makes you leave
Okay. Poppy, (pause) you know what? You need to leave. We'll be fine, just GO
i am getting dangerously close to buying a spray can of light pink and/or rose gold spray paint. and when that happens, i know there's no going back to the way i once lived. no spraypaintable surface will be safe from becoming tulipcore.
forgot i bought tiramisu until i opened the fridge just now. hell yeah i'll have that with a cup of coffee
well, i slipped and fell in the shower while sitting on my shower chair (betrayal...!) and that was bad. but there was a buy-one-get-one-free deal on tiramisu today, and that is good. so who can really say if my day's been bad or good
spent a while thinking about chocolate chunks in ice cream today. they have to be the right size and consistency to easily melt in your mouth or be chewable, despite being suspended in a frozen treat. otherwise they just taste like chewing plastic. not enough people are talking about this.
marker drawing from last night ( feat @eramdam@social.erambert.me )
im so out of practice with traditional media... but sticking to a limited color palette was an interesting challenge hehe
watched the 2006 animal crossing movie for the first time... it was very very cute. my heart really needed something pleasant right now
got my first night of decent sleep in over a week. ignore the fact that i woke up at noon, i'm working on it ok,
listening to the chrono trigger jazz arrange album "The Brink of Time" for the first time, and i was not fucking prepared to hear the "IT'S THE BEGINNING OF A NEW AND EXCITINGLY DIFFERENT STORY!" sample
putting money towards making my temporary living space more comfortable instead of commissioning fursona drawings. such is life
damien on the iMac G3, what will he do @eramdam@social.erambert.me
posting some of the art i've drawn for my bf. kitties in love
truly, the snow ibook g3 is just a little guy (feat @eramdam@social.erambert.me 🐈⬛ )
been a bit since i sat down and drew something. new icon (they/them only)

i'm asking this because i'm still interested in making those bra/lingerie zines someday, and i'd like to get an idea of what people do and don't know (or at least, people within my general orbit)
alright, quick survey: what's the biggest bra cup size you are aware of, and what country are you from?
i promise this is relevant to something i'm working on someday.
hanging out with my sibling's cats, vanilla bean and poppy
