Myusy, a festive sea slug, is a mascot for the coastal town of Hayama, in Kanagawa Prefecture. Myusy supports beach cleanups and activities to protect the marine environment.

Man on his phone: Absolutely. Consider it done. Love you. He hangs up, winces and says ‘Oh God’ with the distinct awkwardness of someone who just said ‘love you’ to his boss.

Made some compilations of drawings to show the different humanoid creatures in my project. They're Human, Seafolk and Elves. Also, just a page of some items

Stressed?

Frog hid behind the rock. He say the thing coming. It was big and brown. It was covered with sticks and leaves. It had two horns.

“Fly, you fools.”

William Mortensen, "The Incubus" or "Masks from the West of Zanzibar" 1928.

“A Wizard of Earthsea” is a triumph, but “The Tombs of Atuan” flips fantasy on its head. It’s not a journey—it’s an escape and a reconciliation. A powerful, poetic novel I think about all the time.

My fear came back as we ran up the stairs of the parking garage that smelled of urinal cakes. It crawled down my throat to take up residence in my gut, and unlike our neighbors it is not a good tenant. This is a damning age.

Scary.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

The escaped Cirque du Soleil acrobats living in the woods are building their winter nests, in case you're wondering what happened to all the wiring in your car.

Am I looking at the world through nostalgia-tinted glasses or did Jacobin used to be better than this? This is disappointing AF coming from an allegedly socialist outlet. How is “not espousing a Nazi aesthetic” such a high bar for some people? I can’t fathom it. What a world.

Racists love to reconstruct history in a way that elides how Avicenna and Averroes preserved (and expanded on) Aristotle, and to proclaim the West’s monopoly over Reason even as Western-style consumerism annihilates the ecosystems all of us depend on to survive.

I credit the free ressources from Purdue’s Online Writing Lab with allowing me to internalize APA and MLA style to the point that I could ace my first copyediting gigs. It’s good to hear their student journalists are also a class act.

Not even our pets are safe from the horrors. Fuck fascism.

“But you are making plans / without a future and my now / is twisted into your crying.” Read “Entanglements,” a poem by Ursula K. Le Guin about cats.

“Finnegans Wake” is an elaborate hoax.

The Hellgrott is one of the many creatures in Strangehollow that you might be tempted to pet, but it is advisable not to. Find out more in my book Savage Strangehollow on Kickstarter. Campaign ends on Thurs! buff.ly/raZbj7q #artbook #fantasyart #folklore #creature #fantasy

Me: You can do anything with a history degree! Student: I want to be a history professor. Me: Except that.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Ranking songwriters is a nearly impossible task because lyrics can serve vastly different purposes, but for me the greatest are Frances Quinlan, Ben Gibbard, and John Darnielle. Of course, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan are also greats.

I'm so over breaking news. How about some fixing news.

“Dead End: Paranormal Park” is a zany, heartwarming show. It has a trans protagonist. It also has a talking pug. Cis kids who watch it are no more at risk of becoming trans than they are of turning into pugs. They might become more compassionate though. #IStandWithHamishSteele

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Bizarre how “out to lunch” is the idiom used to convey distractedness or even insanity when my experience is that is when I am at my most focused and calm.

Austerity is the mind-killer.
