That scene from Aeon Flux was a real place not a set!!!!!! I LOVE THIS!

Fun fact friday. Alien abduction stories decreased in the 90s and early 2000s and are now nearly non-existent due to the development and adoption of propofol. A drug used during surgery. 1/5

"you weren't there for me during my dark times" Girl, we're all suffering. we don't take turns or suffer on a schedule.

Uhm.... Neither adobe nor canva is working. Freaking out a little bit.

White lady in the whatsapp group: "Diwali is the festival of light not the festival of sound" Me: "its okay, they're just making the festival of light accessible to the blind" Sometimes you have to fight absurdity with more absurdity. Anyway Happy Diwali!!!!! 🪔

Frogs being a mascot for Equality is so awesome to me, frogs are the coolest little critters!

Some painting I made a while ago. Some people favorites #digitalart #noai

You are safe. You don't have to do anything but have the good October you deserve. <3

Apparently I have a reputation as having the most interesting email sign-offs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Listen, a broken clock may be right twice a day but that doesn't mean it gets redemption. They're still terrible humans.

I had a nightmare that Meta AI was pretending to be me in my WhatsApp chats 😭 #NoAI

Before I go to bed, I have this delusion to put myself to sleep where Kathy Hilton is like my distant aunty and she buys me cute stuff and ice cream and then I fall asleep 😅🤣 Does anyone else delude themselves to sleep before bed with an elaborate fantasy or am I just unhinged 🤣

Honey, let me tell you... I love a big kettle of bean soup. Its beefy, its tasty, it keeps you fed for 3 cold winter days. But your toots end up sounding like a 1971 Cessna 172 Skyhawk.

Advocating for yourself with Medical staff doesn't work anymore. They just don't care. This is true for both public and private healthcare. They just don't care anymore

Reposting with alt text since this is going around again!

to whom do I direct complaints about having to deal with fractions of inches.... 😅😭

Adobe: " I am the industry standard, you can't even have your work printed properly without me! You will pay this premium subscription or you will not work!" Also Adobe: "Sorry, I had a silly crash and now 16 hours of work is just gone, there might be a bastardized file for you in the recovery" 🤣😅😭

Words EVERYONE deserves to hear every now and then!

Reminder

This is messed up.

So now that all the 49 Afrikaans speakers that tannie Charlize was talking about, have left Satafrika.... are we finally gonna turn the aircon off? Its too cold!

inside of you there are two wolves... One of them needs to finish this little bit of work, While the other one really needs to pee RIGHT NOWWWW!!! You have ADHD and instead of doing either of those things, you come to complain on Social Media.

Rather woke than a joke.

The most defining feature of human civilization, the cornerstone of what makes us human, what separates us from even our closest genetic cousins... Is a broken bone. 1/5

So while we're on the topic of medical misogyny.... I'm really happy we're getting pain relief during pap smears... But let's now talk about how difficult it is to get cancer treatment as a fertile woman.

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

I think Microsoft has truly shot itself in the foot. It used to be that windows would run on even the most scrobbliest of scrobblers. But now, in this economy and with the public bring very against wasting - Microsoft expects billions of PC's to be chucked in a landfill. Make it make sense 🥲

Me creating indie animation: crying, having breakdowns😭 Also me making indie animation: crying, having breakdowns cause I'm trying to bring my story idea of 5 1/2 years to life and dare I say, I'm excited🥲🛼✨ Pls DONATE so we can complete this project: donorbox.org/wheels-roses #WHEELSANDROSES

The Techno-Fascists dream of a Cyberpunk future, thinking themselves the lone hero of the dystopia... But they're literally the villain who dies in a spark filled explosion at the end of the movie.

The really sad part about a lot of movies nowadays is that they are terrible. But what's more sad is not that DEI or "wokeness" is the issue.... These movies would still be terrible even if the cast was full of Pale People Supremacists. The stories feel so soulless.

When I encounter someone who defends Billionaires, I like asking them the following: You will receive a billion dollars after you shake the hands of a billion people. You can't shake the same person's hand twice and you will only get the money after that. How long do you think that would take?

The absolute irony of Elon Musk being a White Supremacist.... When he has Afrikaans heritage. And we all know that us Afrikaners have significant percentages of native admixtures. Racism is truly the dumbest stuff you can infect your brain with.

a friend of mine asked why I'm so political on my art socials, that he thought I would be more professional on art socials and have personal socials for that kind of stuff... My art is not separate from me, there is no "Sasha The Artist" and "Sasha The Person" and Human Rights are Human Rights.

Raise your hand if you think it's time for Elon Musk to take a ride on one of his "dependable" rockets. ✋ 😂

BBno$ was born to be a househusband.... but the economy forces him to hustle. 😅

Elon Musk, carrying out the South African tradition of looting the state and being a deadbeat dad, is truly beautiful.

There is something very suspicious that I've noticed since middle 2024..... Every now and then my computer screen will start flashing and bugging out... And then I'll restart, and all of a sudden Intel pops up with a Driver update notification. Are they doing this on purpose?

Elon Musk is 100000000000¹⁰% proof that money can't buy happiness. Happy people just don't do.... All of that.

Day at the Beach

Free healthcare is all great untill you need to spend 1k per day to visit said free healthcare. I've spent literally the equivalent of my monthly rent to get to the hospital this past few feeks and I have no idea what its gonna cost when I need to be there 5 days a week 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅🥲🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭😭

Flow really is an amazing little animated adventure.... I also think it would have been an amazing game!

I can usually tell if you have Autism or ADHD (or both) by how you play the Sims.

* in response to "AI art is only replacing bad artists * (1/3)

I'm comforted by the fact that I'll never have a mid-life Crisis. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Because my entire life is a crisis 🤣

The cruelty is the point. They want you to panic. They want you to give up. They want you dead. Don’t let them win. You have to live. Better days can only come if you’re still here.
