November approaches and SNAP is currently not funded to either accept new applicants or provide full benefits to current enrollees (some states won't have any November benefits, others will do partial benefits). Donating (money is king) to your local soup kitchens and food pantries is punk af.

It is once again time to dust these off

Space rock updates for the northern hemisphere! New moon sky, plus Orionids peak tonight mean that a venture out to darker skies will result in excellent shooting star viewing. There are also two new comets (discovered earlier this year) that will have their highest visibility tonight. Cont.

Get out and look up.

Just a li'l guy.

Housing is the answer, and then the services that people need to live Food, medical care, etc. It's very difficult to rest when you are homeless. A lot of people use alcohol or drugs to cope with being on the streets. Stable housing is the place to start

One of my recent projects at work involved concepting, designing, and doing the layout for a number of book covers for an audio book series release. The type requirements were a good 2/3rds of the space. It was quite a challenge to design illustrations around that!

Ah yes, the all important box tithe

I won't go on & on about it. But what Dr. Demento put out into the world was special. It connected who knows how many people to music they didn't know they needed. to weird music. to big laffs, which we need. his final show will cost you three bucks, but it's priceless. 3/3 drdemento.com/online.html

#CicLAvia Heart of LA, still wild riding down streets that I'm normally fighting against cars with (or it needs to be 2am in order for the streets to be empty) - even with the crazy hecticness of it. One of my fav rides.

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

Only tech dudes would reframe the relentless management exploitation of their time and talent as a feature, not a bug. They're self-exploiting, and then they'll be tossed aside when their value is depleted. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/b...

Some brief thoughts on the Anthropic settlement, and why I think most authors should claim their share of the settlement if they can, inadequate though I think it is: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/10/02/a...

EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

Sometimes it is very surreal to be looking at so many systems falling apart - but I can't focus on that right now because the paycheck requires tentacle monster paintings be done.

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

Cannot get this game outta my head. #HadesII #DeathtoChronos #Melinoë #WIP #digitalart

Just so we're clear, autism is not a disease to be cured, it is not an epidemic to be wiped out (that would be eugenics, which is bad).

While it was kind of the beat cops to pull over and warn me of the coyote up the street... While I was walking my 100# shepherd. And the double take I got when I thanked them but they usually left her (the shepherd) alone, was priceless.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

I see folks sharing their #adhdnotes I raise you... More ADHD notes, with a side of art thoughts.

It’s hot as hell outside. Help provide some shade! tinyurl.com/lascdonate

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

Sweet fucking gods, this. Charlie Kirk did not debate. He did not actually listen to the 'other side'. Instead he bullied, he spouted hateful rhetoric, acted as a stochastic terrorist, promoted debunked conspiracy theories, and incited the violence he received

so ICE murdered a father in cold blood from a routine traffic stop, we're murdering random Venezuelans in foreign waters, we're shackling S. Koreans for building the factories we need to keep the southern economy alive, and we have a majority party trying to tie passport status to political views

Just another day in the hellscape that is Los Angeles. #shiloshepherd #gsd

Today, in the very highbrow world as a commercial illustrator working in entertainment: drawing dicks on faces.

This is art.

Trying to get a reference shot that involves a face being at dog level is near impossible if the girls are awake.

nothing will humble an artist quicker than having to draw a spoon

Couldn't touch grass this morning, so painted a chubby birb as a work warm up instead. #illustration #digitalart #birb #sketching

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Hey friends, got a few seconds to support Dodger Tour Guides? Sure ya do!

Neighbor: "Young lady..." Me: Sir, I am middle-aged and perimenopausal. I am definitely over being referred to as "young lady". And that's not even getting into the enby-ness of it all.

Real life footage of a neglected shepherd who's human refuses to do walkies with it's 90F out.

Between this and John MacArthur dying. Feeling very much a "May you get everything you ever deserved and may it come back to you over and over and over again. May their memories be forgotten."

Nothing really highlights my masochism like eating spicy curried being an IBS theydie currently experiencing a flare up.

Really glad the AI vibe shift is finally hitting, this has been excruciating

You sure about this, Google?

Some quick gestures in an attempt to kickstart my brain into work mode. #figuredrawing #digitalart #illustration

Marketing is a curse. Case in point: My (now) top two favorite client notes 1. Client circling talent's crotch with the text "packing too much heat" 2. Client declaring that the issue might be the "arm pit 'fat'". Artist response: "Some might call it 'breast', but what's anatomy in marketing"

ICE raided the Westlake Home Depot in Los Angeles this morning. ICE agents rolled up in a Penske rental truck. Activists called Penske corporate, who said to email: [email protected] #ice #immigration #penske
