are you SERIOUS do you know how many amazing artists I loved as a kid were popping tf off in '35?!?! *sigh* Fine. Here, an M.C. Escher lithograph that doesn't get enough love imo:

Yes, and I weigh less than several hundred pounds.

From my kid’s markers to god’s eyes

Uh, This seems bad.

This must be an "I'm entering my 40's" thing, but I'm trying not to cry. I remember when Comfort Eagle came out in 2001. They had to change the single release from Comfort Eagle to Love Her Madly, because of 9/11. Dunno why but I'm feeling the distant echo of that song, in this one. Good stuff.

Hey! Do you like #Elfquest? Did you ever dream up different versions of the iconic covers showing different characters? My spouse did too -- and they drew some! Check out these collectable prints on the official Elfquest Merch page! #comics #fanart #wolfriders

After being out way too long on errands and desperately hungry, I dragged myself into the first food place I could see that was offering supos and sandwiches I ordered the Ham Situation and put it in my face Holy shit that's a good sandwich. Shout out www.stpaulmeatshop.com

Dude, props, it is NOT easy to sing in that kind of cold Also the sing-screaming at the end SENT me

This has Implications for religious leadership

It is just after 11 a.m. in Minnesota on a very snowy Sunday & I am grateful for the Snowblower Guys™️ of Minnesota (it's a gender neutral term) who are doing snow removal for their neighbors (whether a snowblower is used or not). (I hear they like cookies.)

Seriously tho that was kinda scary. Hoo damn.

If you're in the Snowstorm right now and you're out shoveling this pristine, gorgeous, perfect packing snow: 1) Don't overstrain yourself 2) DON'T OVERSTRAIN YOURSELF 3) Drink water 4) shovel with a buddy This PSA brought to you by a moron who almost passed out shoveling his driveway.

Good morning, it's a bright and beautiful "that's the second snowmobile I've seen go down the main road" Minnesota day. Snowline is nowhere near my windowsill but we can't differentiate the porch from the lawn anymore. XD happy March!

#FanvidRec for "Let's Get This Over With" by absternr, a Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead vid to a TMBG song. Featuring a bunch of Rosencrantzes and Guildensterns. One of my faves from Festivids 2025. 😍 archiveofourown.org/collections/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM4G...

The way I cackled at this

Back from the convention! ❤️ I met -several- trans and non-binary people representing rural Minnesota as DLF delegates. And parents of trans and non-binary children. And other LGBTQ people. At least 3 were recently moved in from other states.

Up bright and early, sitting in an unfamiliar school gymnasium to participate in my small rural DFL convention. *Clutches coffee cup* I'm awake I swear. =€w€=

I don't think about how much pressure I'm under after a decade of being demonized by the media. Gotta keep swimming. So when I read articles that center trans people's voices and perspective, it's like coming up for air after being trapped underwater. Tysm, OP. go follow and support if you can.

Sorry, this is gonna be like Minnesota's ongoing ICE situation from me. I will try to space it out but I've only seen news coverage of this from a local newspaper so far and it is -fucked up- and it is very much on my mind rn.

Good morning, your daily reminder that Dilley is a concentration camp for children, they've been isolating teenage girls in "blue butterfly zones", there is no transparency or oversight about what is happening in there, and they're censoring fridge art because the optics are so profoundly damning.

Hm! Reposting this so I can find it again tomorrow when I'm more awake and look up specifically how this recent law will impact trans people in Kansas who are fleeing to another state. Because that shit's already scary enough. I would prefer to key down some. Gotta be more careful what I post.

Gotta be kind to myself and sleep, but I want to leave one last coherent thought: Small good things, done consistently, make huge ripples in the fabric of reality. Do not surrender your joy. Hold on to it, share it, feed and protect it, make time for it. All of us can take care of all of us.

This is a great thread if you're somehow just tuning into the trash fire, or you've been tuned in and just. Need a direction or first step to throw yourself into. Also, just Follow Greg Pak if you're not already. He collects lots of good resources and links to others who collect even more.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Yeah! Yeah it really is!🤣🤣🤣 💀

Jesus Flapjacking Christ. I read the letter Trans people in Kansas just got today. It's my nightmare. I'm rural. I drive to work in the next state. I drive to get groceries, to medical appointments. I measure trips in hours.

“The Madres – a national network comprised of volunteers, mothers and wives – are undeterred, however. Some of them have traveled to Arizona to distribute flyers bearing Guthrie’s image while others have remained in Mexico to search in the border town of Nogales.”

*Scrubs face* yeup. Every trans person in the US is watching these laws pass, wondering how long we've got. If we're ready enough for what's coming if we can't, or won't leave our home. The future isn't known. Nothing's inevitable. I wasn't taught to give up. So I won't. Pissed off about it tho!

Also, I just had to hunt this down again. Once upon a time in the 1980's and 90's a collection of technopunks in the San Francisco Bay area built murder robots and performed them fighting to the death in makeshift arenas until the cops showed up.

I live in Minnesota and so in lieu of fedposting I am determined to bring something good to the skyline. Something fun, something pleasant, something really nerdy. The something:

Today: *Wakes up, goes to work, sees flags at half mast* oh fuck oh no what now *Reads up on it* ...oh. *Is slightly consoled* Yes, that is correct. Honor for Reverend Jessie Jackson, an extremely honorable man. *Sighs, suddenly wants to crawl under my desk with lots of bedding or something.*

Well, today a brand new baby daschund puppy konked all the way out in my arms and had a tiny puppy dream there, so this week is off to an amazing start. Tiny lil sleep-borks. Paws that could fit into a half-teaspoon. BIIG yawn, nuzzle, SIGHS. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would recommend.

I woke up at 3am last night, and still half asleep, had a thought that I JUST HAD TO WRITE DOWN. Pretty sure I’d just won the Internet, I fell back asleep. In the morning, I was greeted with this gem on my phone: “2 ninjas are called a pair of sneakers.” You’re all welcome.

41 year old trans dude here. I love this article.❤️ Sports bras, speedo one-piece swimwear, tank tops shoved into underwear and pulled through leg-holes, recycled yoga pants, freaking plastic-wrap (??!?). Just let people wear binders, what the fuck.

I am at work I should not throw my phone against a wall I am at work I should not throw my phone against a wall phones are necessary pieces of everyday life and expensive to replace I should not throw mine against a wall

Once I figured out what I was looking at I laughed till my ears rang and I felt a lot better. Re-blogging to find it again, and because maybe someone else will get a good laugh out of it too.

And a regular reminder that tunicates are chordates. These tulip things are in the same phylum as YOUUUUU 🧪

Someone makes a very good point, so I'm going to make it too, for whoever needs it: If you see that Every Writer Post -- just block the account and move on. There are so many fires right now, no need to give some twerp posting AI ragebait the engagement they want.

No. I do NOT receive this. *Puts Kid Rock on the Banned Forever keyword blocklist and emphatically hits the refresh button*

Just in: 50 parents and transgender activists have blockaded the HHS Building in protest of sweeping new rules that could ban trans youth nationwide. 24 were then arrested. This is the kind of action we need. Subscribe to support our journalism.

*Sits and stares off into memories of watching night and fog with my grandfather at 11, and feeling like my hair is catching fire* ...I don't have anything punchy to say about this one.

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots

Seems real bad. ...I do not want to sign up for a subscription service to my next computer. I do not want that to be the only option available to my tax and income bracket. The first person to try and sell me that bridge can kindly expedite themselves to the furthest point in hell, ass-first.

Ohhh shit. Jesse Jackson. That one hits close. 💔 My grandpa introduced me to politics via his memorabilia for Jesse Jackson's political campaign. Buttons, stickers, even a framed photo of himself with Jesse Jackson up in his studio. "Strike a blow for justice, and for Jesse Jackson," he'd say.

As a Student of Art History, I argue that this image on its own isn't art. However, this image with the inclusion of the people posting inquiries to the realtor expressing interest but only if the mirror demon comes with the apartment and plans to pay their half of the rent? Yeah that's art.

i can’t stop laughing

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
