Dear ToDo, it has been about 4 months since my last ToDo list

Forgive me, I was dancing under the orange glow of the summer sun, swallowed by time.

New Personality Unlocked!

Lo with hair half up, square shades, with a finger to their ear, playing a sick bass on stage with their band Girl Death with purple lights illuminating the backdrop.

I was at a friend's house because they were playing through KH3 for the first time as a longtime KH fan and I needed to bear witness to their first impressions. We paused it to grab some snacks on what she continues to believe to be the single greatest moment in the game.

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce this, but it’s honestly just become a sign of the current climate we live in. Unfortunately, I’ve been norted. It was completely unavoidable, turning to the darkness within me. Regrettably, it’s summer, and wearing that black leather coat will suck.

Lo, in front of a leafy green hedge, with silver hair. Their signature triangle shades reflect the light. They are wearing a Ukrainian traditional vyshyvanka, golden Ukrainian tryzub, and a Ukrainian golden wheat stalk earring. They have been norted.

Sorry to steal a post from the other site but... HEATED EMBROIDERY

Larysa // Лариса@lary5a· May 14

I accidentally mixed too much bleach for my undercut so now I’m in a very Targaryen era in my life.

A selfie of Lo, tattooed arm visible, with their ringed hand resting on their mouth in a very pondering kind of gesture. They have their signature thrifted black triangle shades on, an opal skull charm hanging off a necklace, and a thrifted white textured jacket on. Their hair is icy grey-ash, with lilac on the sides, and flopped to one side revealing a silver pyramid stud in their right ear.

There are levels of human ingenuity that ai cannot ever hope to attain.

A photo from a light up balcony at Twilight. on the arm rest of an outdoor couch rests an empty water bottle, its most recent contents still dotted like constellations inside. In the mouth of the bottle sits an ice cream cone, half eaten. Strawberry stracciatella fills the base, with a small hat of toasted coconut, walnut caramel, and whiskey sits atop the crown. It is stable, hands free, and effervescent.

One of the biggest atrocities it left out was that the USSR used “cloud seeding” to induce rain over northern Ukraine and Belarus so that the peak radiation levels didn’t reach Moscow. The fact the map looks like this isn’t just fortuitous “good winds.”

Chornobyl is marked in black, the highest level, with red circles moving west getting lighter and lighter. Moscow and Russia drop off very quickly oddly enough.

Those who know, KNOW. But to those that don’t, this was 5 days ago:

Picture of Saint Javelin’s post on X:
Bloomberg just dropped the Orbán tapes and it reads like a bad fanfic.

Hungary’s prime minister spent a phone call with Putin calling him a “lion”, casting himself as the helpful little “mouse,” offering Budapest as a venue to end the war on Russia’s terms, and closing with “I am at your service.”

Photo of the Bloomberg headline reads:

Orban Offered to Be ‘Mouse’ Helping Russian ‘Lion’ in Putin Call

Recently stayed in an AirBnB with a framed photo of just the words “A wise man once said nothing” It’s horrible life advice, and it’s been my favorite recently, because it made us all laugh through this weekend. And here’s my son:

Photo of a brown/black tabby cat laying on his back with his white paws over his face. The smallest little pink nose is visible beneath them.

When I’m working on games I constantly hear “what kind of human are you trying to birth” in my head.

Screenshot of bullet pointed text:

Yoko comments that he died a lot as he couldn't get used to the unconventional "memorize to evade" portion of the game. He respects the players for continuing to play despite "being slammed down into a messed up hellhole and make them do something about it. It made me think that it was a type of social experiment."

Yoshida: "Well, they start to get used it over time."Yoko Taro: "What kind of human are you trying to birth?"

Pulling this out always gives me such a dopamine rush. Truly one of the most beautiful vinyls in my meager collection.

The Sun by Joseph Vinyl album cover (strong white border with white cursive text “The Sun” overtop of the faces of the three band members with a dark background) with the vinyl 2/3s out of the sleeve. The vinyl itself is splotchy tie-die orange, as if it were truly made of the magma of our beloved star itself.

Meme of Murray from 2019s 'The Joker' saying "you're goodbye-ing. The fire is slowly dying, and you're still goodbye-ing" referencing lyrics from the classic Christmas song 'Let it Snow'

$15CAD purchase of sunglasses in a small town's thrift store has changed my life.

Larysa stands facing the wind on the top of an old steamship, lake Rosseau behind them. They are in black lace suit pants, a green top, and a black blazer looking spiffy while holding a drink.

They adjust their new black triangle sunglasses that give them a +10 to Charisma.

New hat idea.

Larysa // Лариса@lary5a· Aug 18

I was supposed to be AC121. They didn't cancel my flight when it was announced. They waited for the government to bail them out. When the strike held (and good for them to hold against this level of corruption!) they cancelled it 4.5 hrs before it was supposed to fly.

Like be so for real right now. $15 in Toronto doesn't even get you a sandwich.

Wrapped Mocap filming of the Stika demo. How all emails and other correspondences find me for the foreseeable future.

Got some bad news so decided to do a little craft project to make myself feel better

Two Mason jars decorated with woven cotton white ribbon, brown twine, and green hemp, and an assortment of paper greens and flowers in white, dusty rose, and a dark lavender. Hanging from the tied ribbons are two live-edge wood amulets, with handwritten calligraphy. The larger of the two says "Cook!" and had wooden cooking utensils inside, while the smaller one says "Eat!" with metal eating utensils inside.

You get the sense that the creator is proud of them. They need this.

Only 1.7k logs of this cinematic masterpiece filmed during the full scale invasion of Ukrainian territory is criminal. Go seat yourself for an evening, you won't be disappointed!

A screenshot of the Dovbush film's page on Letterboxrd. Shows the titular character with his merry gang of thieves who steal from the rich and give to the poor, a folklore hero in carpathian lore. 2023, directed by Oles Sanin.

Hey babe, noticed you didn't want to sing and dance with me in the rain last week, so I picked you up some whimsy supplements.

Please look at the amazing concept art I made yesterday for our 3D artist. Let the Cook Tent cook.

A rudimentary sketch of a blue plastic tarp tied to two branches staked in the ground, with the other side tied to lengths of rope that go nowhere.
There are handwritten annotations:
"ropes go off into air we will hide the ends in trees"
"tied to big sticks in front"
"blue woven plastic tarp (see reference images)"
A giant title"Cook Tent" presides over the image in the top right corner.

Dexter's Laboratory meme, where girls fawn over him asking him to say it again, but instead of the regular "omelette du fromage" it reads "my vast entirely-offline MP3 library"

I was thinking about flocks of red birds converging over the Vatican city as a bright red omen. For a moment the world was far more whimsical... Take me back.
