I just saw this and it feels like an appropriate mantra for these trying times stay hard, brothers (inclusive)

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. "Apart from bags and pouches, the Romans (who did not have pockets) used a variety of small boxes, some with sliding lids, to carry coins around with them, or wore bronze armbands with an integrated coin container."

human head for a larger scale project. good time to practice what I learned at Gencon last year :) the eyes have sculpted pupils which was weird to work around

smallest work I've done in quite a while

if your headlights are yellow I fw you

He really is doing all of it.

I drew a snailfish!! love this animal

been so stressed that last night I had every nightmare at once I was late for an event in my underwear on a plane filled with my extended family that crash landed on an island filled with spiders. I was so burnt out I was like "well at least these spiders dont care that my top keeps slipping off"

i started goobing around with @doodl-app.bsky.social and it's been a real fun Lil time

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

also its probably appropriate for an animal half the size of the one on the packaging

> “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. > "So do I," said Gandalf, "this shit fucking sucks.”

a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own

listen. men don't have to and aren't expected to do this shit on even REMOTELY the same level femme folks are. men don't have to worry that the expiration date for their career is the second they stop being cute and hot and "perky"

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

i read stuff like this and can genuinely angry at guys like jd vance who insist that this country belongs to some narrow vision of the "native born"

that's Powell's City of Books

The reason people don't like conservative students is that whenever they're inconvenienced or annoyed they throw a tantrum and call in national media to terrorize their peers.

Bringing out this all-time banger from @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com

when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

My hottest take is that food made within a family is an expression of love. It comes from a desire to sustain and comfort people we cherish. So inviting assholes to the meal defeats the purpose.

my friends and I do a bit at parties where we pick a person and start complimenting them until they get stressed from all the compliments and run away

listen at best you're training the wildlife to be aggressive towards humans because they're looking for food from people which is NOT what you want for anybody's sake, human or otherwise. DO NOT EVER FEED WILD ANIMALS I don't care how cute it feels it is actually harming them and potentially others

Malcolm Ingram is trying to re-release Small Town Gay Bar, a really valuable documentary from the 00s about...well, small town gay bars in Mississippi. They have to rebuy all music rights etc. 10 days left, they're at 20k of 53k. Please give em a shout. www.kickstarter.com/projects/163...

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

> don't look ugly or frumpy or masc > don't look sexy or slutty or available > don't be loud > don't draw attention > represent your organization !! > you have to be fun! have a drink! > but don't get drunk > be social! > don't stay out late > never be alone > get sexually harassed/assaulted anyways

This makes me think of the arguments about the “tax” women pay just for being a woman in work settings. This student was preparing for a presentation she takes very seriously while trying to manage an impossibly stressful Summers was creating.

Record store, too

as somebody who spent their life as a child trying to protect themselves from adults it is fucking amazing to see the government stack up to form child abuse voltron

Hey folks, I just had to renew my health insurance and I’ve got to pay my car registration this month—all while I’ve finally got the big move to a permanent new home underway. I could use about $300 so I don’t get overdrawn in a few days. See the post below if you can help. Many thanks.

I think NBC should try to get an interview with the President just so they can covertly send Chris Hansen to conduct it.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
