the last few days have been. trying. and then you log on to some rando talking about "peterned" WHATEVER THAT ISSS

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

I stepped away for a few minutes while painting this and when I came back said “wow” out loud. Super proud of this one :) From last Autumn.

yeah

whump just doesn't work for me when the cause of a character's suffering is them being willfully and repeatedly stupid and never learning a lesson.

"this edible ain't shit" two hours later:

now if we're talking about making ASSUMPTIONS about the self. hanging desperately onto INCORRECT OPINIONS of the self. that's another story. love when a guy thinks he knows exactly what that says about him based on little to no evidence

one of the quickest he would not fucking say thats to me is any variation on "he wonders what it says about him that [blank]". Very few blorbos of mine would be caught dead cogently introspecting

again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans

"like in the comics" WHICH COMICS.

Something lost when we moved away from long seasons of episodic television episodes is how many different genres you can fit in there. Sometimes Star Trek is Shakespearen. Sometimes Buffy is Muppets. Sometimes Murder She Wrote is, apparently, a gritty cold war thriller

in the absence of a green new deal, libraries and public transit are going to be america's de facto cooling centers, keeping large number of people alive during climate disasters for the indefinite future

the bus network in austin is like a circulating distributed AC system and i think i would die without it

Morning Light, by Vincent Giarrano

This is what modern spider-man is truly missing btw

Every creative person using ai sounds like “i took a load of coke and drew 75 different variations in three seconds. They’re all shite, but man i did them so fast”

"I can ask the AI to give me 75 different variations in three seconds" sure, at the expense of the artists whose works were scraped without permission, and at the expense of the health of our fucking planet. Selfish behavior.

My saltiest writing opinion is that too many people ascribe to "trying to sound smart" what can better be explained by "having fun playing with language"

I coming back to my Jaydick Pilots AU and will be posting all the updates on my Patreon

RIP TO ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

Every drag show this weekend is going to have to make some very hard choices

it's the only relationship he mentions in his book too! He refuses to talk about who he has dated, his sexuality, etc EXCEPT that he dated Miss Piggy

tim curry keeping up the bit twenty years after the fact by writing in his memoir that he and miss piggy had an affair during the filming of muppet treasure island is just so good and funny

Anyway a lot of people do not know how to "read" or parse Dolly, a deeply political person, because she had big hair & reveled in high femme Southern presentation & had rhetorical skills that allowed her to deflect & defuse every attempt to make her seem stupid. She understood the rule book &

Lrt it's so crazy to see people call Dolly "neutral" on politics/The Culture War when she was, in all the ways that mattered, our highest-profile and possibly only truly leftist rich person

Tim Curry should also be remembered for featuring in the best between takes photo of an actor in recorded history.

bring back flash and harry's roller disco.

Aphrodite was probably pegging Ares like crazyyyyy ngl
