I can't believe I painted this more than a year and a half ago now. What #GoT #GameOfThrones scene should I paint next?

@jowrotethis @RingerVerse I have been loving your coverage of both! I'm so excited there's more content form two of my favorite universes. At the same time. It feels greedy and indulgent.

I am almost done with my re-listen to @BoilerRoomCast and the fact that you, @jowrotethis and @kristinnoeline loved this image I made for you so much is the delicious icing on the weird cake that was 2021. Thank you. I needed this re-listen.

@PeteButtigieg Thanks for this beautiful post and I'm sorry it's revealed just how stuck in the dark ages the human race is. Onward and upward.

@kateyrich This trailer is so odd because the music in it is so dissimilar to Reznor's and Ross's dark soundtrack, which I'd argue is some of the best and most fitting in film score history.

@jowrotethis @kristinnoeline Yeah the 90s were weird, huh?

@TimLanning If you call it "hauling cube" you're much more likely to get a positive response

@cogman_bryan I hope you can finish! And I know the feeling.

[Melissa (Grakowsky) Shippee @MGSdesigns_net]

@draculasdatter @sapphomancer @JohannesTEvans I was going to say the same thing!

@cogman_bryan CHURCH.

@jowrotethis @kristinnoeline It's MATRIX NIGHT!!! I CANNOT WAIT!

@cogman_bryan I don't have any idea but my favorite teacher in high school in the 90's was named Charles Dutton. He had a PhD in history and taught me some of the best life lessons I've ever had. Doubt it's the same guy 🤣

@heathen_king He's so cute!!!

@jowrotethis That's something I didn't realize I needed to hear and it makes me smile

[Melissa (Grakowsky) Shippee @MGSdesigns_net]

@TimLanning Yesssssss

And after this racist tweet, he will also “identify” as “not racist.”

Before following @Melissassmile I knew nothing of #AngelmanSyndrome- She taught me that it's a genetic condition, affecting the nervous system, causing severe physical & learning disabilities. Your courage & optimism facing these challenges inspires the world, Melissa! ❤️-mh
