they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a Kakashi bookmark so we held it up against the screen as a joke but the static actually cleared up. Mystified, we tried different bookmarks and objects with the same plastic material but nothing else worked, only the Kakashi bookmark.

We ended up taping it to the corner of the screen and it stayed there for 11 years until we moved out. When I was older people would be like “can you move the bookmark off the screen” bc it did sort of block a bit of the view but I would demonstrate the static issue and everyone was always just like “huh. what the hell?? well…alright.”

No explanation, but thanks Kakashi.

talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip

Because I wrote a chapter of The Anthropocene Reviewed about the history of Diet Dr Pepper, the Dr Pepper Snapple Company reached out to me one day to inquire a brand relationship.

I am not one to turn my nose up at Big Soda money, so I agreed to meet with them. Two nice people showed up on zoom and they said what kind of relationship with Dr Pepper would interest you, and I said:

"I would like for Dr Pepper to be the official sponsor of humanity's relationship with the moon." My idea was that Dr Pepper and I would share stories from history about how humanity has understood and imagined the moon, and then at the end there would be a little tag line that was like, "Dr Pepper: Sponsoring Humanity's Relationship with the Moon Since 2023."

I still think this is a great idea. Who needs an Official Soda more than humanity's relationship with the moon???

Then they asked me if I would, like, make tiktoks about how much I liked Diet Dr Pepper, and I said of course not that would be extremely boring.

Anyway, they never got back to me.

Turn your head to the side and pick the first thing that catches your eye

Have your selection?

Draw it as a god

Answering to @marlynnofmany ’s tags

We, who wander in the Dark, call Him “He, Who Gifts Light; He, Who Shows Us The Way; He, Who Helps Those Who Are Lost Be Found; He, Who Shall Not Be Watched Into His Eye; The One-Eyed Saviour; The Light-Bringer; He, Who Burns Brighter Than Any Wick Or Candle”, or less verbosely, “He, Who Flashes The Divine Light”.

Well, now I’ve gotta.

Behold, the God of the Flashlight.

The god’s eye is closed.

HE SEES YOU.

How many sins and virtues have been brought to light?

@thecaptnoname @drawing-prompt-s

Wait I’m incredibly entertained by the fact you actually included the flashlight itself is fantastic, and I absolutely love it!!!

I mean look at this!!

I was already thrilled to see the response overall, but I am incredibly excited about the outcome of this and seeing the flashlight as a part of it. I hope that you use this character in a story or something because it’s an incredibly interesting concept!!!
