I'm seeing white folks asking "can Walmart be next? Can [insert store] be next?" And it's like... Start the boycott. Black women started the Target boycott for a specific reason. There's no reason you can't start a different boycott for another reason. Just do it. Why are you asking permission.
some of the people taking the position that some of the synagogues being attacked probably deserved it because of alignment with Israel have not thought through the ramifications of their position re: their own alignments

I really like that Doryaspis piece, I feel like you did fantastic work with the splashes and light refraction on the water's surface.
two Tusciziphius are illuminated by an artificial light during the night, one has albinism while the other is a more normal looking colouration Tusciziphius is an extinct species of basal beaked whale that inhabited various parts of Europe and North America throughout the Miocene and Pliocene. both species are only known from skulls, but the skulls provide a unique morphology in the presence of a raised "keel" on their fused premaxillary bones. this may have been an attachment point for a large melon or used for something else, we still arent sure
a Cyrtograptus floats suspended amongst other plankton. the small colonial organism floats along the current, each of the small zooid's tentacles catching bits of ditritus and other plankton that happen to float by Cyrtograptus is a kind of planktonic marine invertebrate that may seem closer related to cnidarians like siphonophores, but is actually closer related to us and echinoderms as it's a hemichordate. this genus is characterised by its spiral coiling with primary and secondary branches of zooids growing from the outer edge of the whorl
a Callawayia has just surfaced to take a breath, it quickly darts back underwater as to not be ambushed from below Callawayia is an ichthyosaur from Canada with a proportionally longer tail than other icthyosaurs, ichthyosaurs were a group of very successful fully marine reptiles that appeared similar to cetaceans however they swam side to side rather than up and down
during sunrise, a spooked Doryaspis kicks up sand with its tail and cornual plates. it shoots jets of water out of its branchial openings from the force of sucking in water to breathe as it makes its escape Doryaspis is a kind of jawless fish that inhabited the Devonian of Norway, it is well known for its heavily armoured body, long cornual plates that look like wide pectoral fins, and long pseudorostrum. while the use of its pseudorostrum are heavily debated, biomechanical studies of the fish show that it wouldve swam the most efficiently close to the bottom of the water.

today we sketched Tusciziphius, Cyrtograptus, Callawayia, and Doryaspis
This is kind of out of left field, but if you're interested in a video game with vibes similar to this, you could check out Wildmender - the central focus is the restoration of what seems at first to be a dead landscape.
Actually y'know, fuck my doomerism.
FYI to trans people:
HRT Cafe has apparently shut down after too much media attention.
Please, take advice from an old trans woman:
Take those discussions underground. All of them. Anything that discusses what we need to survive & where to get it. Word of mouth and private forums only!

Silkroad Ensemble's Sanctuary Tour has truly been a transformative experience so far. An honor to perform with these musicians and break down the barriers between audience and performer. We're on tour for the rest of the month, and have lots of free community engagement events surrounding the shows.

Anyway, a thing that people (not Nina) constantly do with the Hays Code is take its stated goals at face value and man I cannot stress enough how much they were just some weird Jesuit guy banning whatever gave him “the ick”

An illustration of a human with draconic ancestry, featuring elements such as curved horns, scales on the body, and a tail. The scales and horns are iridescent in color. She has pale skin, bright violet eyes, and long blue-and-teal hair styled in a really thick braid. She's adorned with gold jewellery and red stones. Her dress is blue, teal and yellow in color, and the bustiere has a peacock feather pattern to it. She smiles at the viewer with confidence and charisma.

And in the post in question, Senator Tuberville drew a clear line between the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Don't give the pigfucker credit he doesn't deserve, and nuance he doesn't want.

Reminds me of a guy I knew in college who really wanted to be a metal musician, wanted to write songs - and only ever listened to metal. Had zero interest in engaging with anything outside of that sphere, and the music he wrote suffered for it.
Comic art that only references other comic art is inbred. Study impressionism, silent films, folk art, photography, wood carvings, animals at the zoo, *something* outside of comics if you want your art to have a personality.
i am once again reiterating that the needle is a conservative truscum publication who has repeatedly published what might be charitably described as “sloppy clickbait”.
There's also something to be said, I think, for the idea that those who get rich tend not to be artistic types - there's a specific profile you see with billionaires, for example. Those who seek wealth above all else are not driven to create.
Nellie Longarms is a river hag with a particular taste for dragging unruly children underwater. She forms one third of the carnivorous Grindylow coven, one of Aquarium's most troublesome antagonists...
Yeah. A lot of us don't really have options. I can't really afford to flee the state I live in, never mind the country.
Yeah, I get the frustration with it, then. There's no sense in becoming huge to specialize in small prey unless you're a filter feeder literally stuffing thousands of prey items in your mouth at once.
Dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus, the giant Carcharodontosaurs, and such things?
What idea about small prey specialists is this in response to? I feel like I'm missing half of a conversation.
