Tonight the Northern Lights over Chicago. Last night was a high-bar to reach, but it's rather amazing to see the aurora borealis this active this far south of the Arctic Circle

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Oil paintings by South Korean artist Guimi You, 2020s, whose work captures mundane scenes in her daily life.

Here's my painting of The Creature and his friend #Frankenstein

«While you are alive, what recourse do you have but to live?» #frankenstein #smallartist

i miss the headphone jack so damn bad, dude

really illuminating just how many interesting points of departure for alt-history fiction there are beyond "what if the [other side] won the u.s. civil war/WW2."

I recently watched the new Frankenstein movie — and completely fell in love with its visuals! 💀✨ #Frankenstein #fanart #digitalart #characterart #filmfanart #horrorart #fantasyart #gothicvibes

first go at drawing the creature🫀 i think i’ll keep exploring him, he deserves more tries #Frankenstein @realgdt.bsky.social

God's design 🩸 #Frankenstein

Not something. Someone. 💔 a quick little study because I am obsessed with this adaptation #frankenstein #horror #study #gdt

フランケンシュタインの怪物　FA #Frankenstein

We have some good neighbors.

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Horses and humans share a special bond because we are both half centaurs

Some of the most depraved stuff I’ve ever read about was on the Bosnian genocide.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Congress MUST abolish ICE. After the chaos and trauma caused by these masked thugs in our neighborhood—a WGN reporter slammed to the ground, a daycare worker kidnapped out of her classroom, and countless other examples of violent acts of terror—there is no room for incremental reform.

and you people thought there was no good use for AI

read the story bc the whole thing is nuts but this is 👀

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Isle Royale webcam looking like a straight up rainbow tonight: www.nps.gov/media/webcam...

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

Note who wants international organizations inside of Gaza. Note who is always begging for international, universalist organizations to come and establish rules and order for justice. Note who is making every effort to prevent any of that.

The Creature quick study #frankenstein

Would have liked to make something more elaborated for the movie, but I don't have time for that, so at least I'm satisfied with this small tribute to Guillermo Del Toro's beautiful adaptation of #Frankenstein

Read my latest—a Craft Work piece in @chicagoreader.com about lovely beading artist Yuliya Klochan! chicagoreader.com/visual-arts/...

#Reylo AU where Kylo discovers that his new girlfriend Rey explodes into six tiny Reys every time she gets sad. [Reposting random and old drawings of reylo AUs and from my twitter]

(like watching a sad movie, or dropping her ice cream lol)

Just because reporting on Trump’s rapes hasn’t produced the results we’ve wanted in the past doesn’t mean current and future reporting won’t have impact. And I say this as someone deeply disappointed in our society and media for not making more of this story for years.

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

No aurora for SoCal, but we got one hell of a sunset tonight!

UNRWA has $1 million match on for Gaza if you want to pitch a couple bucks their way. I know there’s a lot.

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

“I sought and longed for something I could not quite name. But in you, I found it.” #Frankenstein

I spent way too long in Canva making this graphic for this line of which I'm very proud 😂 Now I need to finish the book and hopefully write more in this world so I can use it again! #AmWriting #WriteSky

Every single time! Epstein will write: "porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no" and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying: "You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy

Did you know that people detained by ICE and eligible for release still have to pay a bond? $1,500 plus legal fees. Here is a fund to help cover that cost: www.mibfc.org

There’s this very American tick that happens in US spaces, where people (from discourse to voters to politicians to wonks) act as if the US government and deep state are the only groups that matter. As if there aren’t a dozen other countries that probably have a file or two on Epstein.

we need to internalize this now before we make that day discourse-y (please, no)
