I am desperate to find the name of the really goofy fan made anime that was kind of like sailor moon, and there was an older (?) girl in a huge pink dress, and a villain who was like a tiger centaur. I think I found it through retsupurae. It was incredible.

I know that there are a probably a dozen other just as good (?) things that probably fill this niche but it’s a real bummer to me that kids growing up now don’t read newspaper comics.

We visited the Cartoon Art museum in San Francisco, and this zine in the reading room was worth the price of admission alone.

A self-published comic from the Creating Graphic Novels Club, titled “The Five Point Resistance & The Killer Queen”. There is an evil laughing lady floating in the clouds, and four kids looking up at a castle.

Thomas Kincaid personally sneezes on all of his prints

A Thomas Kincaid print covered with smears of acrylic gel, presumably to make it look hand painted? It’s just gross though.

I was good until I went to the front of the boat where the rocking was strongest. Otherwise I thought it was really cool. The waves were beautiful. But lots of people did get sick lol

Yeah! It was kind of like a wave pool.

We went through a storm on the trip. It was a lot of fun to float in the pool while it sloshed back and forth.

Cruise ship art is incredible

Framed paintings of anthropomorphic strawberries cavorting in a grotto and on a beach under the stars

Anthropomorphic olives in a rock band. The drums are labeled with the bands name, which is “Guitar Band”.

They are playing for an audience of olives.

All I want is a politician that says "this is unequivocally wrong and here's what l'm doing to stop it," it's not complicated!!!

@eriktheginger.bsky.social
It actually is. This is a silly, childish position on your part. But don't take my word for it. Google Neville Chamberlain.

I tried hot pot for the first time! I loved it! We went for drinks at a cool occult themed bar afterwards but none of those pictures came out, lol. My Empress drink came with the corresponding card and was very pink and tasty.

Yesterday we went to Granville Island via water taxi. There were lots of people racing dragon boats alongside us! I found a silk weaving studio there and spent a lot of time petting the yarn. They even had Qiviut, which was exciting because I had only recently read about it.
