This lot will shout "adapt or die!" when it's shoving computers into everything. But when they're asked to adapt to women having a voice they scramble for a time machine to 1905.

Cooper the Wolverine in a sports bra holding her phone as the runs terrified down a narrow wooded path with a moose behind her, much bigger than her, running full speed towards her.

"Oh shit oh shit OH SHIT!!"

True Story: I went for a walk Tuesday because I couldn't draw. I was lamenting about never getting to go on adventures... then a moose decided to challenge me to a footrace.

It was terrifying, but exactly the adventure and inspiration I needed to make this XD

A fine example for why I will happily call the moral puritans boring.

Boring, dull, tedious.

Got to appreciate a woman who is the "throws furniture affectionately" kind of romantic.

graphic design shitpost: Stick figure of human leg with the knee labeled "monetizable knee"; stick figure of digitigrade leg, with the knee labeled "uncouth zoophile knee"; text: Ankle unrelated, "we are very smart" - payment processors.

Separate graphic on other half - illustration of a doggy, text:
Woof woof! I am a representational, animal-shaped character! A hot one, some might say. People are often attracted to me, which make sense - I am depicted with human-like behaviors, and am often drawn as a
representation of idealized or exaggerated human experiences. 
I'm not just a talking dog - I can be a representation of the artist's aspiration to be more playful, more confident - or of something they already love about themselves.
Animal-shaped characters have been a part of human expression as long as we have made art - and that tradition will outlive the powers which seek to control and divide us today. Er, grr bark, I mean.

Also the non-AI data centers aren't under any illusion they're doing something magical.

They crunch numbers, huge ones. That's it.

If you're not into celebrating plumber mascots of companies who sue independent artists into oblivion for fan art, it is also my fursona's birthday <3

(The anniversary of her very first ref being finished)

I am indebted to her and every artist who has drawn her for giving me so much of myself.

So there's this thing called "dirt" and I don't like having it in my house.

Please respect boundaries in my house. I'm a host, not a doormat.

I was a real nightmare in some formative writing circles in my 20s because politics and economics not only interested me, I was enraptured by them.

I grew up with family telling me that political party affiliation should be a lifelong commitment. To pick one in your 20s and stick with it no matter what.

I mildly scared one of them a few years ago when I said I would be willing to drag -all- parties over hot coals.

This scene from Enola Holmes? I have almost exclusively heard that sentiment of politics being boring, tedious or pointless from someone with a beige complexion.

On an episode (of the Colin and Samir Show) posted on 27 June, MrBeast said: "I don't have a life. I don't have work-life balance. My personality, my soul, my being is making the best videos possible, entertaining my fans as best as I can. That is why I exist on this planet."

MrBeast continued by saying how he doesn't recommend that other people take on the same approach to working as him.

"I'm miserable a lot of times. I have a mental breakdown every other week because I push myself so hard," he said.

Because he is really, really not well and pretty miserable inside.

"But being fat was once considered a sign of wealth!"

Keyphrase: WAS ONCE. Fat bodies have been framed as bad for over 200 years. The attitude changed.

Combined with a cultural emphasis on self-improvement. A poorly managed estate reflects badly on not just on its owner, but also their family.

And we all know how much the elite *love* in-circle gossip!

Because draknir can live for hundreds of years. A key aspect of land management in the Sublime Paragvate is long term sustainability.

Whether that's wood, mineral plenty, air quality, soil quality, or annual rainfall. To kick a can down the road is a sign of irresponsibility on your part.

So, we have a new lady! This time, I didn't set up an autobuy so that those who wanted to could fight for this princess, but I did leave tiers for obtaining additional elements.
