A drawing of Iggy Koopa standing on one leg, holding a wand with a green glow to it. He is staring, enchanted, at the glow.

Happy #Mar10 day. Realized I can't remember the last time I did some #mario fanart, so here's my favorite Koopa, Iggy, with his original hair. (I didn't realize they changed it until searching for references, but I remember the #SMB3 manual version most.)

A drawing of a battle scene between a bird and a beetle. The bird, mostly in silhouette, is swooping down at a beetle, who is standing upright and holding a glowing sword.

Did the FeBUGary drawing challenge over on IG where I kind of deviated and drew warriors based on bugs. I might post some here, but I wrapped it up with this 'Beetle Warrior' drawing for a weekly drawing challenge.

A drawing of a cyclops, standing in the opening of a cave, with the sunny sky behind. In his hand is a small sheep baa-ing.

A little Polyphemus fanart. Just a cyclops and his sheep friend(s). (Odysseus did him dirty.)
Drawn for a weekly drawing challenge with the theme 'cyclops'.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

Yes, let's keep censoring media as a courtesy to the shittiest people.

What about all the therapy needed for all of the kids who grow up feeling like they aren't normal because movies keep removing all references to people like them?

Fuck appeasing bigots.

Jesse Singal: β€œI don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim β€œadult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

If I were a journalist, or even remotely eloquent, I'd do a deep dive into this.
I think the fall of Yves really set me off.

The decrease in plant-based/vegan/vegetarian foods available absolutely feels related to the increase of fascism in this country.

A screenshot of Rocco Botte (@rocco_botte) retweeting Pop Base (@popbase). Pop Base posted a photo of Chappell Roan in an interesting outfit (giant, Napoleon-esque? green hat, bikini top, shoulder tassels, shorts with tassels, glittery make-up, etc) next to John Mulaney in a button-up shirt and tie. The caption reads: "Chappell Roan and John Mulaney for SNL." The retweet caption reads "Final Fantasy Before and After Yoshitaka Amano left the design team"

I saw this recently and I can't get over how accurate it feels.

I just want to make it absolutely clear that Clayface in Batman the Animated Series is peak character design.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

A drawing of a mustached toad in pirate attire, with one foot on a treasure chest. The toad is holding a sword that is aimed at the viewer. In the background are clouds along the horizon that reveal the silhouette of a pirate ship.

I feel like I keep hearing more and more different pronunciations of 'Uranus' recently. Like there's no consistency at all, except that people are all absolutely refusing to say it like Yer-anus.

I'll keep it alive, though.

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.

Sure love that capitalism's ingenuity is literally making ketchup bottle nozzles worse so you can't squirt a small amount, making you use more, and have to buy it more often.

I finished reading Gideon the Ninth and wanted to move on to Harrow the Ninth, so I figured I'd try the audiobook via my library (while I wait for a physical copy).

The audiobook somehow makes me feel like I don't understand English.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.
