tuesday is the most canceled of all

*just barely staggering though the door of my tower, slamming the heavy door shut behind me, collapsing against it, panting, disheveled, muddy for some reason* EVERYONE. IS CANCELED.

forget gender, it turns out all relationships break down into "which one of you is the osha inspector and which one of you is the reason for the osha regulations"

it's probably fine that my comfort watch this year is to run through the first season of the Pitt whenever i am feeling maximum stressed

I kept meaning to make some bespoke set-dressing chains for Pipeburn so I don’t need to ink every individual link in every individual panel like I did last time, so I decided to actually enter one of those Clip Studio Asset Challenges for once assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail...

Painting by Michel Henricot published in OMNI, vol. 8, no. 4 (January 1986), alongside “Tangents” by Greg Bear.

still me in november, living in the hope that THIS will be the cup that does it

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

Get cozy my dudes.

the only true crime content I really enjoy is white collar crime and corporate malfeasance and they are constantly emailing each other being like, “here’s my thoughts on the crimes we will do and when we will do them." they do this because they are not pursued, in any way, by anyone

Polish poster for RAN (1985) Directed and co-written by Akira Kurosawa Starring Tatsuya Nakadai - RIP

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

my idea of a wild friday night out, this and a nice cocktail, who wants to join me

shoutout to @msclairebiddles.bsky.social and @gavia.bsky.social's recent episode of Overinvested pod on their picks from the London Film Festival for helping alert me to this film, so I had an eye out for it getting a limited release in the US this week!

Film at Lincoln Center has a display of rare Hujar contact sheets in the lobby, too, highly recommend going if you're interested in his work

at fantastic, thoughtful director q&a after the opening night of Peter Hujar's Day at Film at Lincoln Center, Ira Sachs was talking about artistic doubt, his and Hujar's, and waa asked by a student how you get over doubt: "remind yourself you're going to die!" he said with a laugh

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Absolute Wonder Woman #14 - a very special issue. Don't miss it on Nov. 26. Here's a small non-spoilery scan of inked art. Thanks for the great support and reviews!

gonna have to get the post? for the first time ever? so i can frame this

every time students are like, how do you know what [x] is, i am rutger hauer on that roof in the rain in my shorts, going, i have seen things you people wouldn't believe lolita fashion? furries? vampire the masquerade? fanfic labeled "lemon"? I WAS THERE GANDALF!!!I WAS THERE 3000 YEARS AGO!!!

the darkness courses through me, by which i mean, memes

i should probably mention that i am actually an animation and film professor! i generally view lectures as performance pieces and – despite being criticized for "informality" by hateful formal assessors – think that keeping people awake should be a goal (my student reviews, on the other hand, agree)

i should have just submitted this with my tenure application

shhh mods are asleep, post the slides you made for the body horror and anime talk you gave like two years ago to a riveted but drunk crowd at flying fox in bk

feeling cursed because i glibly asked @leavittalone.bsky.social if he also thought bugonia was just 'save the green planet', after watched the trailer cold. him: oh yorgos has been trying to adapt that for years how did you know. anyway, recognizing patterns makes you miserable, live differently

*to myself, in a tone that implies i have misplaced my keys and am patting my pockets for them* i swear...we used to have a society

I have gathered from such missives from friends and reading the tea leaves of my timeline that Some Baseball Sure Happened last night. some might say, too much baseball

You only have one week left to, for a modest fee, directly support some great comics criticism in a PHYSICAL FORMAT with an exclusive article from ME on how not to draw BATMAN on a 15-foot HORSE www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

the most important student question i answered today was "who is eartha kitt". and they say no one is educating the youths

i am lying down after work in a silk robe, feeling despondent, knowing it's only monday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8Sa...

have confidence and also a high-vis vest, no one will ask what you are doing

some of the audio from the coverage of the louvre heist contained this nugget "speed here the effective thing, really, but also...chainsaws" which i think this covers a lot of things in life

making coffee, trying to figure the remains of october out

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

"glad" to see this is resonating with the millennials

"you look great" thanks i can still apply undereye concealer, though the sense of doom remains

when will my vibes return from the war

Happy birthday Oscar Wilde. - do yourself a favor and read his rambling essay on how a chief benefit of socialism is that we get art made by not rich people www.marxists.org/reference/ar...

me with a candle whose label has "relaxing" in the name i feel like we're asking a lot of say, bath and body works, here

what am I doing at my job? my fucking job, that's what I'm doing. how about you go do your fucking job, whuch is knowing what my fucking job is. I don't have time to do your job for you because unlike you I'm busy doing my fucking job

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all. Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

if we can't have peace i at least want style it's what the movies promised me

if you ever catch me unobserved looking like i'm thinking of The War, that's because my brain sounds like "i just need to work out & write 3 articles & apply for tenure & moisturize more & try to date & go to shows & make art & flee the country & have a sleep cycle and plan a dissertation & –"

re-igniting old study habits of retiring to bed with books for research and my notebook, have so far managed to remember to cap my pens and not get ink everywhere when i forget them. you CAN get wiser with age??? maybe??? or with enough black blotches on your sheets

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

holy smokes, recognized it immediately. and that lighting! beyond excited for this one!!!

a beautiful fall morning - making my class draw portraits of each other outside while i time them and drink my coffee in blissful peace

the grocery bagger who gently told me that he had put the eggs on top so they would not get squashed, patting them with his huge hands to indicate their security - an angel, a saint, perhaps the last decent human being alive everyone else in the store and on the MTA today? THIN FUCKIN ICE BABY
