What a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for Nosferathree.

I think we as a whole need to stop assuming social media platforms are just "bad money makers". Banning tiktok while Meta is not only removing fact checking, but allowing for discriminatory language, is not a "bad business choice". It's fuking insidious.

Trying to rephrase "I want to create weird shit that makes people uncomfortable and fucks with them a little bit" in a way that will land me a capital A Artist Grant.

A long read (I myself will have to do a couple more reads to get everything) but a good one. About a man infiltrating far-right militias in Utah. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Police exist for one reason & one reason only… To serve & protect the rich ruling class who allow them to brutalize citizens without an ounce of legal recourse. And the highest court in the land is fine with it. The sooner centrists realize this, the sooner they’ll stop arguing with progressives.

i love women and i love loving women

My car is covered—looks like a light dusting of snow. Except it is not snow. It is ash.

I have 2 classes left before my associates. My english professor rapidly checked all of my 🚩 boxes. it's the only course available this semester. Thank god my classmates seem just as baffled by this man as I am, I just hope I can keep my big mouth shut this semester (I won't)

a lot of creatives fall into the habit of monetizing everything they do and there's something to be said for making your creations into cash but its so important to keep some of your creations just for yourself because when it becomes IMPERATIVE to perform you're on the road to burnout

I'm not meant to be in the modern everyday grind, I'm supposed to be a Rider of Rohan

Ppl who still consume & support harry potter content aren't allies. If I see someone with a hp sticker, sweater, T-shirt, I immediately know I can't trust them and they'll use me as a token friend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I finally got myself a gouache set and have been practicing with it today. I think I finally got the water-to-paint ratio right

Guy about to invent baking soda: what if someone needs to make cookies and also clean the toilet

Any time I'm not attending school I get the itch to write. I think that's something I need to give more time and energy to.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

shout out to all the winter enjoyers out there ❄️✨

My hot take as a teacher is that I despise any classroom management system that uses "money" that students earn by following rules or doing classroom chores. I especially despise systems that require students to "pay" for their cubbies, art supplies, activities.

“Haha can you believe McDonalds is doing a Squid Game promo” easily yes because capital subsumes all critiques of itself and no popular TV show or piece of art will ever threaten or unsettle it

I've been exploring different types of self portrait :3

Hoping everyone finds a moment of peace this week or the next, even if just for a couple minutes.

I Iove almond roca and have it every holiday season but it is not lost on me that they do look almost exactly like cat turds covered in litter

Oh the populist right-wing authoritarian is interested in territorial expansion you say? Well that’s a new one !

This person is so objectively stupid I can't quite believe he is real.

Low-vision people are here and want to participate on the app with us. Please use Alt text. Yes, it's an adjustment but ultimately, it's better for everyone. ❤️🩷🧡

When you see this, tell me your favorite fairy tale and your favorite adaptation of it! Mine is Goose Girl, and I adore how Shannon Hale retold it.

I just got followed by an AI art account that 3 mutuals were following already. Not so friendly reminder that I am aggressively unfriendly to ppl who use or knowingly consume AI art. Fuk off ✨

Someone needs to make a jigsaw puzzle app that's AI free. I would happily pay $5.99 for an app with no AI 😩

My school denied my financial aid when I'm literally one semester away from graduating. I'm hoping it can be appealed but I have been clawing my way through hell to try to get this thing, and I'm tired

"Isaac's prayer" done on procreate.

James Gunn adding a little flare to any of his work by adding this killer theme:

The fact that they're actually charging a WHITE guy for terrorism for shooting ONE ceo, instead of making excuses for him gives pretty good idea of how worried they are about everything escalating

on top of all of this, watching how people have taken this indictment of capitalism and capitalized on it with game show versions, merchandising, and themed tours infuriates me to no end people's brains are fucking cooked

I think a lot about the gaps in my knowledge that are due to my parents saying "well your husband will take care of that so you don't need to know". (And the assumption that I would "marry rich".) I've had to teach myself a lot of basic life skills from scratch.

You're right, it is unheard of for children's media to have characters and plotlines that help spark conversations between parents and kids about shared or different experiences the parents may not have knowledge about /s

We are hungry.

The bright side of tiktok being banned is I know it will drive a sudden wave of people to seek out connections in their communities (which our crumbling government is not ready for.)

Understanding that law ≠ morality is the first step to understanding that crime isn't immorality but rather a marker for a part of the system that is either broken or intentionally harmful. Any crime, literally ANY crime, is just a flag that marks (part of) a system that does not accommodate people
