For my first #ArtAdventCalendar this year I'm going for the piece that I'm proudest of, I really had a good play and experiment with it and am so happy with how it turned out. I'd had the idea for a while and then everything clicked... #ArtSky #WildlifeArt #Moths

MAGA ⬇️ “JESUS was a radical, nonviolent revolutionary…wasn’t American & never spoke English; was anti-wealth/death penalty/public prayer; was never anti-gay, never mentioned abortion…never fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest…was a…brown-skinned, homeless, community-organizing…Middle Eastern Jew.”

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

“everyone is twelve” theory has reached Senator Kelly

A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith. Nope, same old horseshit.

Me whispering "he's a murderer, he's a murderer, he's a murderer" like I'm trying to kick a habit every time they drop another Luigi set.

Bonus Easter egg here as well: The fact that an order is issued does not, by definition, make it legal. Someone in the White House and DoD should really read the manual before operating the equipment.

The last few weeks I've been off chasing the world's largest owls (Blakiston's fish owl) in Hokkaido. These massive, muppety, eagle-sized owls spend their nights hunting fish in shallow streams in the Russian far east/China/Northern Japan.

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

BTW, there are a LOT more than 40

Leavitt confirms the Trump administration is only letting in white people

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

In another era these were the people throwing up Hitler salutes and shouting Sieg Heil

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather "IT IS ... UNFAIR. ‘That’s life, master.’ BUT I’M NOT. ‘I meant this is how it’s supposed to go, master,’ said Albert. NO. YOU MEAN THIS IS HOW IT GOES."

I've been working for a while on this investigation into the deadly labor that built the US nuclear weapons/energy sector. The federal government built the uranium mining industry disproportionately on Navajo lands where men are 28.6X more likely to develop cancer.

Today is World AIDS Day, which the Trump regime has decided to ignore. Mass murderering eugenic fascist pieces of shit. if I have acquired any merit in this wandering life then may it propel my curse that the negative kharma of these fucks fructify ASAP. This should not be.

Instead of a necklace that alerts authorities if you've fallen and can't get up, how about an amulet that releases a clattering cloud of ravens across the earth? How about a brooch that summons the help of the old gods of darkness and wine-stained debauchery?

The real reason Ben Franklin didn't want the Bald Eagle as the national symbol was so he could land a pun about kingbirds

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI” Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

I actually got my faerie wand earring concept to work. In two colorways, even. The worst part was wrapping the 24 gauge brass wire around the 18 gauge sterling; I finally had the sense to check my wireworking book. Hold the piece with a bit of rubbery shelf liner, duh.

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties

Trump needs you to simultaneously believe that it's nuts to think the president of a country could actually be a drug trafficker, and that we are going to war with another country because its president is actually a drug trafficker.

so you know how rockets in SF are often absurdly phallic, and we all had fun with Jeff Bezos launching his penis into space? well, I found this poster for a space version of The Magnificent Seven that entirely rejects the patriarcho-genital model. We can all see this as a step forward, I think.

It's National Cookie Cutter Day! Graphite and watercolor drawings from the Index of American Design by Helen Hobart, Franklyn Syres, Michael Rekucki, and Adolph Opstad:

Once again I have been compelled to draw an Absolute Unit.

Signups are open for Pretty Rocks Club 2026! The theme for our seventh year is "liar liar pants on fire" and it will be all about things that aren't what they look like or claim to be. I’ve been planning this one for years now and it’s going to be a lot of fun. wyrdingstudios.com/products/prc...

A short, readable but chewy post-holiday piece: How it was a woman who really kicked off MAGA declaring war on empathy. Allie Beth Stuckey's gender is not a coincidence. She is weaponizing her femininity to valorize hateful Christianity. www.salon.com/2025/12/01/m...

The White House has grown accustomed to Republicans looking the other way on the administration’s scandals. When it comes to Pete Hegseth and alleged war crimes in international waters, this is no longer happening. www.ms.now/politics/key...

Also stunningly accurate. This is exactly what he said.

Darlings, please remember your alt text! Turn on the setting so you can't post images without it. (It's how I got into the habit.) It takes an extra 20 seconds to be inclusive. Do the thing.

I know we’ve moved on 781 times by now, but… I still can’t believe he tore down half the White House

I actually watched the below video and I hate watching TikToks/reels/shorts. It is a good commentary

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

'Tis the season once again! Around this time of year, people who strung their Christmas lights the wrong way start wandering into hardware stores looking for what they later find out is often called a "suicide cable."

Reminder: When we “have the viruses do the education,” sick and marginalized populations suffer the most.
