Oh. He went to the Melania school of creativity and creation.

If you aren’t successful and you can’t accept that dumb luck was part of it, you’ll end up bitter and resentful. And if you are successful and can’t see the same thing, you will become arrogant, and may well start making all sorts of mistakes because you believe you really are a unique genius.

I think a 20 minute session of doing an expressionist painting of Bert was the break down I needed to have today.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

No, because pie is not a sandwich type. Sandwiches involve already baked bread which have components put inside. Pies generally involve the dough of the crust being baked with the fillings as part of the process. Y'see, different process (No-bake pies are extremely modern and are defined by form.)

Cake is a type of bread and pie is a type of sandwich. So if you slam two cakes together with some fruit in the vicinity that too is a pie.

For personal sanity reasons, I decided to sleep through the launch and I also plan to sleep through the return. I wasn't alive for Challenger but I definitely remembered Columbia, with the bonus of having teachers who were alive and traumatized by watching Challenger blow up on tv in school.

I worry that people who do not write regularly do not understand that writing is hard for everybody? including writers? like I actually do quite a lot of writing, nearly every day I have written two books and a dissertation among other things writing is fucking hard!

April fools only works when reality isn't this stupid.

Be careful folks, today is April Fool's Day, which means that the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive. Don't worry though, tomorrow we will be back to normal, and the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

i would like to celebrate the fujoshi to fudanshi pipeline on this tdov

Every single person I know and met has an element of their past they're not proud of, or learned or grew from. Everyone I know has thought and/or done something they today regret, or abhor. Anyone who believes otherwise of themselves is dangerously delusional at best, a dangerous liar at worst.

They're also misandrist, in a way that I'm very serious about. We make it impossible for men to even discuss their experiences of rape.

Eating Dr. Pepper peeps like ortolan, with a towel over my head to hide my shame from gd.

I don't know what I expected clicking on this. I mean, says it right there. Just conditioned from too many false advertising instances.

Ah, fucked up your sleep schedule again have you

In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.

It is okay to throw away books.

Could a depressed person do THIS? *stares at my closed laptop wanting to work on creative stuff in my free time but I get so anxious inexplicably that I go back to doomscrolling for another hour*

A lot of transphobic discourse boils down to “should it be illegal for women to be conventionally unattractive“ tbh.

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

We need more dragons setting bigots on fire.

@shearbolt.bsky.social My insomnia has granted this horrible AU thought idea: Omnipotence affecting Boruto and Kawaki as well.

This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people. It's because she is literally, publicly using the $ from her books/show/games/etc to do bad things that hurt people I love.

The Tomodachi Life demo was so cute... I need the full game now so I can really make more.

You don't even need to have anything 'wrong' with you to become a target, either, which is always a fun suggestion people make, too. Anything that makes you briefly stand out or can be latched on as 'different' is more than adequate enough to make things snowball for people who want a victim.

People like to "joke" about how there isn't enough bullying and the bad people just needed to be bullied more as kids, but the truth is that real life bullies almost definitionally bully people who DON'T have it coming and are simply easy targets. So maybe stop saying that shit.

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

I hear a lot of "it's hard to make art when the world is on fire" and yeah that's definitely true for a lot of reasons. But it's also healthy to use art to respond to the times you're living in. And trust that others need that from you too.

Are you ugly? Or are you addicted to comparing your appearance to people who are professionally fuckable?

I am not strong enough for the intersectional hell trial I have put myself into initially voluntarily but by accident, as a stupid bitch who is getting If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'd and is currently emotionally broken over a sweet bread.

it's been weeks since i've drawn anything so i'm getting back into the swing of things* by going back to a little plastic man fan comic i started a while back *checking to make sure i can still draw

by your 30s you should not have a group chat just to shit talk people have more joy LMAO

I don't mean this to sound insensitive at ALL but it's not lost on me that schools and holidays and whatever else are immediately being renamed due to new info about Cesar Chavez While white men with accusations like of heinous crimes get to keep their jobs AS PRESIDENT

Creativity is not a talent. It's a process and a practice available to everyone.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

TBV Chapter 32 spoilers/thoughts: We've already had it shown with Matsuri having memory overflow from Moegi, but this is the first time we see a more focused access of the original's memories from the shinju. Matsuri was confused from Moegi's feelings since she didn't know how to process them.

So after reading the latest Boruto chapter, some general theory idling thoughts that aren't specific to it that I touched on in reply elsewhere: Momoshiki's first appearance in TBV, since the end of NNG, showed him with a very different attitude and behavior than before.

Maaaaaan. My fanfic is on a Russian webnovel site, was monetized, AND both emails I've tried using to request a takedown don't work.

understanding comics really is one of those things where someone shows it to you once in your life, like literally any small handful of pages from it, and it never stops being relevant your whole life

The average office chair is not built with women in mind and that is why those crossedlegged chairs exist while not actually solving the real problems.

One of the local museums had as a prominent display one of the local copies of Pancho Villa's death mask, so that was a whole thing we got shown in iirc late elementary school that in retrospect is a weird thing to talk about at length to children.

Stressing on whether or not to apply to a local library assistant management that's specifically asking for two years of work as a librarian...

When you buy Harry Potter, you are *literally* hurting trans people and queer people. In real life. She uses that money to lobby for legislation that hurts transgender people. And she is winning! Due to the massive amounts of money that you give her.

I just heard they're doing Firefly season 2 as an animated series and we desperately need to leave everything that was created by Joss Whedon in the past.

There is truly no experience like trying to pss pss readers out of the comments and to elsewhere where you can talk with them more.
