Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support, and asks folks that want to help to give back to the community by donating to a local organization of your choice.

Agreed. It's heartbreaking when I see teachers telling kids to "just use AI for the art part" because it can do it "better" or "faster". It can't. Please don't do this to kids. You have no idea whose artistic spirit you're crushing. Same with writing. Help them figure out how to do it THEMSELVES.

[P] I've said this before, I'll say it again: if the 2028 Dem candidate offers the opportunity to rip down one of these plaques or one of the Oval Office gold bullshitteries on Inauguration day for a $50k donation, I'd start saving today.

I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

So, the literal translation of this sign is “Gyoza (pot stickers) and beer are culture,” which sounds weird. More natural might be, “Beer and gyoza are life.” Now, for the question:

When I visit Japan, I love finding examples of 変体仮名 in the wild (へんたいがな hentaigana, or characters that became obsolete after standardization around the beginning of the 20th century). Examples: ゐ/ヰ (wi)　ゑ/ヱ (ye or we)

In Japan, a single kanji character representing the year is chosen at year's end. This time, the chosen character is “ 熊 ” While it means “bear,” numerous bear-related news stories were reported throughout the year in Japan. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPl

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

The words, “Don’t pee on your brother” came out of my mouth today. Kids. There’s no adequate preparation for this shit.

$150 in baby gifts for Xmas. $120 to send it to Japan (priority mail). At the post office, I learned that my friend (the recipient) may have to pay $75 in duties/fees. Can’t pay it for them, either. Fucking hell 🤯

Pennsylvania will soon have the CROWN Act on the books, preventing discrimination based on hair type, texture, or protective style – a huge win for Black Pennsylvanians.  As the first Black Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, I’m excited to see this go to the Governor for signature.
