A tree made of a tangle of branches with a small stream flowing beneath dropping down to a small puddle surrounded by colourful leafy foliage in a forest
Colourful nature
bitch what the fuck
It's been discussed more in the context of the Manosphere, but: A consequence of being fully submerged in the Trump-era for over a decade is that an entire generation of reactionary-minded men (mostly) have come of age in a social landscape where shamelessness & cruelty are aspirational traits.
Yes, of course, weโve done nothing to discourage this.
"LLMs simply don't make mistakes like the ones you see here in this passage from Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy" is jokerizing
The โseparating the art from the artistโ conversation uniquely bothers me. I feel strongly that everybody goes through old discourse, and thatโs fine. This though? This one persists because people seem to want to be absolved of whatever little trespass theyโve already resolved to commit.
Event season is here. Test the con crud, find out what you have, don't nyquil&pray potentially serious illness.
Here is 4-in-1 COVID + FLU A/B + RSV home tests for $15. This is the exact combo that costs you $400-500 at urgent care.

๐๏ธ today is my birthday! which means it's also my character Mu's birthday, n every year I illustrate him to celebrate us both.
these pieces often reflect my personal life, and this one is no different. so much grieving is laid behind me, and I'm glad to celebrate that, alongside my birthday ๐ค
Letโs get the lights back on!

2-5 depending on the cut. 10 is a goddamn coal briquette.
Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you canโt be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
A nun told me God loves me more than my Mommy and it didn't sit right with me that she would presume anyone could possibly love me more than my Mommy.
I'm looking at each and every item in a covetous fashion.
Long may they honk.
Man it would be awesome if a portion of rent could be tax deductible or something. I say this as a person who has never done anything fancier with her taxes than "general deduction for boring W2s."
AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?
A joke about an ermine with a picture of an ermine
Fun fact!
Yeah. Like I don't think Zohran believes home owners are the devil. He may implement policies that create a greater burden on homeowners. And in a society that prioritizes the needs of homeowners first, that may feel like being called demons. And obviously this article isn't in good faith.
These are giving "aesthetically pleasing botfly larvae design" (complimentary)
This looks like an illustration you find in between the pages of a medieval book of hours.
I think we have a problem when society prioritizes the needs of homeowners over renters. I do want to own a house some day but I don't think everyone should want that. And we shouldn't structure society around homes being financial devices instead of...homes.

I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
