New art should be a joyous addition to thousands of years of beauty and mastery, not a cheap, glittering lure to lead you off-trail into a tar pit.

A little curiosity and focus will open up a world stretching back centuries that will shock you with how familiar it feels, how current and relatable its concerns are. Those people were humans just like you, and what they made is every bit as exciting as anything being made now!

Capitalism lives in the eternal "now". It doesn't want you to know about history, it doesn't want you to know art has existed for tens of thousands of years, it wants you slavering for whatever's coming NEXT, whatever's HOT and NEW, and ignoring everything else. You do not have to do this.

I’m Brotherhood of the Wolf maxxing. Company of Wolves pilled.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Everything is fucking awful, but at least people really fucking hate the new Wuthering Heights movie.

I feel like the only person on earth who isn't mad at the 4th season of The Witcher. And I have to ask - is anyone actually judging it on its own merits and failures, or are we still just this butthurt about Cavill?

Aaannnnnd they’re live!

At last, she's here!

"How badly a cartoon character gets treated isn't the problem, the problem is that people might be jacking off to impure thoughts" literally who gives a shit you insufferable god-fearing fucking wimp go back to the kids' table

Oh you assumed the cartoon character getting plowed is consenting because they look happy? How naïve. They're pretending because they were coerced by the other character. There's actually untold amounts of abuse happening to cartoon characters behind the scenes. We must take waifu welfare seriously

Between finishing @sgj.bsky.social's Buffalo Hunter Hunter and Chief of War nearing its season finale, I'm going to be doing a lot of crying.

MY GIRL 🥹💀🥀 Matt fully crushed it, get him to paint your D&D blorbos!

I think Van Helsing (2004) is to me what The Mummy (1999) is to list other bisexuals.

It has been a minute since I've been as stoked for a piece of media to drop as I am for Chief of War.

Knives are also “just a tool!” But we have pretty distinct rules on where we do and do not use them, because some usage of that tool makes society and quality of life worse.

“It’s just a tool, it’s just a tool—!” sure yeah, a shovel is also just a tool, but if you’re asking me to dig my own grave with it, I’d say I have damn good right to have an issue with the tool usage and context.

...on this, my first year of missing out on a vending table at @flamecon.bsky.social. I am inconsolable.

July 🥀

This is who runs this account 🐺

The way I cannot WAIT for this.

On Patreon: an update on the erotic hunting scarf that @fyodorpavlov.bsky.social and I are working on! (It’s on both of our Patreons)

"Coyotes, on the other hand do not require our permission to exist. They stand as a permanent reminder that our power is not infinite, that there are things beyond our control. For this, they will never be forgiven." One of my favorite books in the topic is Coyote America by Dan Flores.

Welp, I guess this is the first year since its inception that I will not be vending at Flame Con 😔

I really need people to reread and rewatch The Hunger Games at this moment in time.

Finally saw The Substance, and my god. Film of the year. I knew I'd love it, but goddamn. If Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (one of my top 5 favorite films) and All About Eve (another one of my top 5 favorite films) made the perfect child for this era.

My favorite knight from my deck, the Fyodor Pavlov Tarot.

@tea-alchemy.bsky.social and I had the loveliest Valentine’s outing to tea and a romance bookstore. 🫀

One of my favorite clients (who is also a huge Florence fan) made these lungs for me and I’ve been over the moon about them all day 😭🫀🫁

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right argues @garethwatkins.bsky.social newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

American Primeval has a chokehold on me the likes of which I haven't enjoyed since the first season of The Terror.

It keeps shocking my system that art and photography can exist without censorship on this platform. I'm so allergic to social media, and was so resistant to making yet another account. And yet, this feels like a breath of fresh airs in ways I absolutely did not expect.

Inaugural art v. artist post 😌🫀
