one of my favorite things about having online friends is seeing pictures of the food they make and going "gimme some" like you're next door neighbors and not thousands of miles away from each other

Ocs are just so cool. Everyone should have ocs.

Last day to sign up for my art blog newsletter before the next issue's out tomorrow! 70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io This one's all about '80s unicorn art! These are by Sue Dawe.

there's no tactful way to say it, but your online game really is cooked if nobody wants to fuck any of your characters

being an artist is just decades of going "ugh I wish I knew how to draw" over and over again until you die

A new adventure awaits ⛵️

I'm sick of waking up in the fucking pear wiggler, guys.

Brother Mort liked the peace and solitude of his herb garden but even so a visit from Sister Dot and her latest tranche of dirty jokes rarely went unappreciated

The commissioner's dream

‘A Distant World’ By Steve R Dodd (2025, acrylics on canvas board)

for fandom specifically, develop the fine art of not giving a fuck. if you don't care for A Thing, curate your experience to exclude it and leave it alone. in turn, tag your own shit appropriately. just let people be. we're all trying to scrape up meaning and joy on this bitch of an earth.

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS: Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring. Here's a weird starting point: There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr. Cats that roar = genus Panthera Cats that purr = genus Felis

Happy #werewolfwednesday Going to need a lot of caffeine to get through today.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

LLMs are spam generators. That is all. They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent". But really, all they are is spam generators. We have hit the spamularity.

Barry Windsor Smith original art for Conan the Barbarian #8, with the infamous message among the coins, which the inker dutifully inked! Were there revisions asked of the later panels on the page? They look pasted on. What’s under there? Thanks to BWS fan Scott Tee for posting the scans.

no cheating, repost with the most recent picture of your pet(s) Dusty absolutely loves being in a lap.

Honestly my favourite work from 2025, and it was a random MS paint challenge #pixelart

Who else?

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

You know what's good? Books.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

BREAKING. Enormous news in the hockey romance world... I am thrilled to announce that CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR FIVE, a brand new volume of Check, Please! will be serialized in 2026. #omgcp 🏒🥧💕

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Maybe if I sigh heavily enough it will produce enough force to propel me through this day

I do not share the author's barely disguised fetish but their enthusiasm makes the work feel more alive

I have come to terms with the Thing I Hate not being made for me, and have moved on to two splendid pastimes: enjoying Other Things with my time, and being happy that other people enjoy Their Thing.

Cat acquired.

I made this for my bil a few years back. He puts it on the tree every year.

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
