These striking objects are Chinese brush rests, which were often made in the shape of a five-peak mountain range. When scholars wrote with a brush and ink, this practical and ornamental desk accessory would serve as a place to rest the brush during a pause in their writing. 🖌️EAX.1360 🖌️EAX.1813

One of the best actors of her generation. Easily one of the best comedians of all time. As much Catherine O’Hara as we got, it was nowhere near enough.

It's Friday the 30th of January which means FESTIVIDS EVE!! 🥳

putting Darren Aranofsky under Natasha Lyonne on the list of "people who have done interesting work in the past, but whose future work, all of it, AI or not, should be thrown in the trash". Use AI, get fucked.

Microsoft Word really lowering their standards directly into hell.

Congressman Tom Suozzi was confronted. He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive him, and we will not forget.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

A reminder — there are *millions* of social sites on the internet, like Storygraph for your reading and Ravelry for your knitting, etc. It’s only the biggest, run by the extremist fascists, that do these terrible things. Don’t define the internet by a handful of apps run by 5 sociopaths.

Seems relevant. From Absolute Wonder Woman #3.

My variant for Storm: Earths Mightiest Mutant 2 This is very much stylistically in line with the Black Cat cover, hopefully I can turn this into a series of sorts.

Any Locked Tomb girlies on bluesky?

Yes! reporting for fanart duty! :-D

Knitters of Bluesky and the people you love: this is for you.

EU friends, please take a moment to sign this initiative, especially if you're from the countries still below the support threshold

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

when Spock does the neck pinch, even on bad guys, he always catches them and sets them down very politely. letting this guy fully just drop, leaving Jim to try to awkwardly scramble to catch him, is Vulcan for "it is always morally right to punch Nazis"

This is a reminder that if you’ve just seen something traumatic, playing 15 min of a visually demanding game (Tetris is the go-to here, but maybe Set? Mah-jongg?) can impede memory formation and help stop it from developing into a trauma. (This doesn’t work for complex trauma but discrete events)

this brightened my day immeasurably

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.
