sitting here, again, with these words from james baldwin.

don't worry about the doorways - his froggy slime layer helps lubricate his way through 🐸💦 for @murster.bsky.social! #bunnart #throwback

Watching Golden Girls (or any 80s/90s sitcom I'd imagine) in bulk is such a wild experience because you'll go from an episode about trying to get Bob Hope for the talent show to an episode where Rose has been addicted to pills for 30 years and has to go to rehab.

every time an evil freak dies, the most tepid people on earth ask how anyone could celebrate death and violence, how people can act so inhuman. do you think I want to live in a world where this is what it takes for me to feel relief or a sense of justice? why don't you ask who took my humanity.

maybe there's a conversation to be had about what pieces of us are missing to celebrate death, what's been taken from me where someone says "he had kids that will now grow up without a father" and my first thought is "they never had one" but it should start with who took those pieces.

Unrelated to anything specific, I’m seeing a lot of behavior today that’s like complying in advance, but we’re way past that point so it’s more like complying in post. The fascism is already here, you’re not making it go away faster by being meek and polite.

are they taking requests

Leichtensteins;gate Is this anything???

History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.

The very concept of "virtue signaling" is culturally Protestant, premised as it is upon a fundamental disconnect between the true, unknowable inner self, and the outward acts that self performs. But there is no self that preexists its actions in the world. Better people enact virtue than vice.

Makoto, when is it MY turn to ride the Pope Joanacycle.

Secret message <3

Told my partner @lunostophiles.bsky.social about this and he screeched to a mental halt in the middle of playing Persona 5 asking "How the fuck would you know if your dog was autistic"

If you see this, quote post your cat art 🐅🐆🐈

My other favourite thing about OG Iron Chef is that in the English dub, everyone is dubbed *except* Chairman Kaga. What a power move, really.

Nothing better on OG Iron Chef than when they introduce the ingredient and it gets its own battle music. These bamboo shoots are gonna kick your /ass/.

yo this guy is cooking

Tell @axellycan.bsky.social congratulation on becoming older #chibiart

A jury of my peers? TWELVE murderers?!

ko-fi.com/bookman I dont know how bad this is gonna be, only that it's gonna be bad. I might be looking at 4K, worst case.

It's hard not living up to your potential. I'm about to turn 40 this year and feels like I should have been a grunt Zaku II pilot who screams "it's a GUUUUNDAM!" mere seconds before being evaporated by a 15 year old child soldier's beam saber and I just don't know when that's going to happen for me

I do think it's really funny when people will say you support open borders as some kind of gotcha. You're damn right I support open borders. Total freedom of movement for individuals. Give em all a green card. Right now. You thought I was going to hedge. Perish.

This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

I'm genuinely enjoying having a nice set of small conversations with y'all about Final Fantasies. It's good to just jovially disagree on something with people now and then. No one dies, hopefully, because I like FFX and you like FF13, yanno?

Truly, FF9 and FF10 are the strongest one-two punch Square ever managed. 9 is the culmination of every game before it, a masterwork of amalgamation. And 10 has a clear and dynamic voice for the next chapter, and a story both huge and intimate. Shame how it's gone since then.

Despite hating my real last name, I still get upset when people misspell or mispronounce it. It's five letters. It's not that hard.

Oh right. Now I remember why the Seymour Flux fight is so notorious. Oh FFX, you rascal.

I am at an incredibly Straight wedding, and it's only the rehearsal dinner. I never thought I'd be sitting in a barn with fairy lights listening to almost exclusively Taylor Swift. Men are all dressed like they have a yacht in Nantucket. And yet here we are.

Thinking about this photo I took in 2016 at an electronics recycling trade show that surfaces on other websites now and then

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Breaking into Alan Moore’s House

this would fix me or make me worse or both please god let it be both

as always

Sure glad we live in a mentally well society that is full of only people who are great at distinguishing truth from fiction

positively adorable TWA-747 art from @mammalfriend.bsky.social <3

Found this in some old photos: the cartoon that got my biggest twitter numbers

Tapping my podium to say the overlap between Size Kink and Bondage is so much bigger than so many people comprehend

I've started writing my thoughts down on media I'm taking in, which includes using Letterboxd. I've come to realise I am a bit of a rating softie, cuz I often rate higher than normal. I suppose I don't get a lot of joy out of kvetching on bad art, though. Idle thoughts.
