It's been a week since I've posted any 2D art! I guess real world concerns are taking up most of my headspace lately, and a good escape into manga might be good for my health.

Five years ago, Seinen manga publication Harta covers looked much different from later covers I've posted here before. Harta used to have different cover Illustrators every issue. They've been run by several publishers over the years. They adapt to the times and keep on doing their thing. I should too.

After two guesses, there were only a few viable guesses left. I could've played risky, but I'm glad I didn't.

What are you saying, Wordle? I thought I looked good in this hippie shirt today.

You knew where the L was after four guesses. You didn't have to give up there.

@[email protected] Hey, what's the big idea with trying to end our streaks this week? We broke our own streaks in solidarity with @[email protected] and started again this Tuesday. Are you trying to erase our new 3 day streaks that we all started on the same day? I expect better from the press.

My loyal airheads, I must report that we no longer have the most threads of any Mbin magazine. The strongest lifting gas [email protected] has overtaken us. I've sent them a post congratulating them, but they might not take it well. In a few weeks, I'm probably doing that for [email protected] too.

In the era of the first powered airships, hydrogen was generated by pouring lots and lots of sulfuric acid over lots and lots of iron filings. While hydrogen production is far safer now, hydrogen is currently banned as a lifting gas in the US. With the correct precautions, I think we're due for a hydrogen renaissance. I'd rather save the helium for MRI machines, honestly.

I've heard this word from video games, but I didn't think it was a real word. Looks like we're back to business as usual with NYT Wordle.

@[email protected] ~~Is the strike over? Is it time to begin new streaks? If there's still a picket line, we aren't going to cross it.~~

From this Mastodon post and its replies, the NYT Tech Guild says we can go back to playing Wordle. I'll start a new streak with this puzzle after midnight.

Edit: I played the puzzle and we're back in business. 1 streak.

Shout outs to Voyager developer and paraglider @[email protected] ! I wonder if he knows any other stylish freeflying-types.

Wandi Wang from Chongqing, China gave up her career in newscasting to paraglide full time and posting on YouTube and Instagram. This video of her dressed up as a witch is getting ripped off relentlessly, but I tracked down the source so flyhellodidi can get the exposure she deserves. Keep on finding pathways to the sky!

My partner actually told me about this last week, but recent events here in the US have taken my energy away and I just watched this today. I'm catching up, though!

I accidentally had the wrong starting word in my head today and made the game difficult to play, especially on gradle.app . Scoredle's bot fails today's puzzle!
