What’s everyone up to this weekend?

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

If you could have one new skill starting right now, what would it be?

First mech I’ve painted in forever. It’s a 3D print of a Jade Phoenix. I used the Army Painter #Battletech speed paints for the base coat and then 3 different versions of yellow.

Hello! I want to do a Spooky Picture Prompt! So, find a picture in your camera roll that would represent the phrase:

Last Picture on the Camera Roll

This should be spooky, but completely up to your own interpretation. Here's one from me, with weird eclipse light.

more sci-fi should deal with the fact that your average Enterprise starship has a fuel tank measured in Chicxulubs of antimatter

Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

I didn't get around to posting yesterday's drawing here, but it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi:

@ivory Is it possible to create a list to follow just a hashtag? Or to save hashtag filters so they can be quickly accessed?

What's your favorite ship from The Expanse (that isn't the Rocinante), and why?

The more I watch the #Mandolorian, the more I feel like I’m watching a child being indoctrinated into a crazy doomsday cult.

I’ve been painting #DnD minis the last week or so. Here’s a red slaad (that feels a little too monotone, I think), and a gorgon I started last night. #PaintingMiniatures

A metallic silver and bronze bull snorting gas that can petrify creatures it touches.

It’s been a sad day. Our boy Jake is gone, so much sooner than we expected. We spoiled him over the last month, and I’m happy that almost all of those days were good. Everyone who loved him came to see him last weekend, the weekend before he visited his grandma Cookie who gives him bacon, went for lots of walks in between, and got to watch possum tv at night. He was a happy pupper, and we will miss him so much.
