stupid ssh tricks:

note to everyone on mastodon.cloud, your toots are not being seen by the rest of mastodon, nor the wider fediverse. toots currently appear to be restricted to this instance.
welp, looks like the mastodon.cloud admin has deleted his account. would suggest everyone on this instance migrates to another as it'll probably shutdown without warning.

This is probably the piece in my portfolio that I'm proudest of right now.
It was a bastard to finish (took a few weeks!) and I'm fairly certain that if I'd had to paint one more pipe or cable I'd have gone completely off my damn rocker.
Wasn't made for any reason in particular, other than I had an itch to paint a giant robot. I go a little nuts with art every now and then, and sometimes it works out 😁

I've been using Mastodon for some time now, and I only now realized that I could click on the Earth icon to control whether or not it's a DM (though, I don't see how to set who the message is directed to.) I'm guessing it's just sent to any @-mentions in the message.
i managed to resist screencapping alton brown telling a contestant they had to cook on their knees and putting another one into what was basically the stocks but "i can't watch you suffer wearing this so i'm taking it" was a bridge too far
watch out for my new post-apocalyptic erotica novel where the government-sponsored dystopian game show of choice involves contestants being sexually humiliated by the host
