A big multicolored fish in an aquarium being admired by a little kid

A Halloween/spooky parade filled with multiple interesting characters-a flying witch, a cloaked crow, a giant black cat, and royal frog, several celebrating skeletons, a cloaked rat/bat, and tall burning jack-o-lantern and a central horned old lady.

A jolly porcupine walking and talking amongst foliage while an admiring white bunny watches. From the book "Not A Book About Bunnies" written by Amanda Henke and illustrated by Anna Daviscourt

An explorer wearing a glowing helmet walking through a dark forest surrounded by glowing butterflies and hidden ominous faces.

to most people, creativity in of itself has no reward. it's all grind, and usually capped off by burn out, what's the point. capitalism validates that belief. so why not just outsource the process and just get to the part they need

and that's horrifying, tragic, and deeply angering all at once

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art

Looks like there were 301 October #kidlitartpostcards! Browsing the hashtag on the FLASHES app is my fav way to see the art. It is like an Instagram experience, but without any algorithm/chronology issues.

It’s an iPhone app, but they announced a beta version coming for Android. @flashes.blue

Seeing gorgeous art with 100 likes and 20 reposts makes me sad. Please share art that you like, even if you think it won't make a difference. We need to be enjoying art public ally and vocally in these times.
