Watercolor by Abe Toshiyuki of a suburban winter yard, where the sun is being blocked out by giant pine trees, casting shadows towards the viewer

if american men worried about their own virility, they'd be less likely to join a labor strike. get them to focus on their own failures rather than the states. pretty sick and brilliant, right?
