fascinated by Intel, in 1994, commissioning a Navajo / Diné weaver to make a rug using traditional techniques replicating the Pentium die

Image of a rug next to a diagram of the Pentium CPU die; they are remarkably similar

shore crabs

A sketchbook page open to two pen and ink drawings of crabs. There's a drawing of a purple shore crab (hemigrapsus nudus) and a lined shore crab (pachygrapsus crassipes) side by side.

some art I’ve done lately

digital illustration. the cartoony scene involves a girl hiding in a kitchen from a strange, devilish figure with a pitchfork. She’s scared, hiding under the sink so the figure won’t be able to see her. The color scheme is blue with a bright, saturated pink coming through the window in which the devilish figure is seen.

Digital illustration. Young adult sitting on top of a car reaching out to a comet/shooting star. They are melding into the shooting star. The background is orange and the car, shooting star, and figure are a light lavender color. The young adult has awe in their eyes

Digital illustration. A young preteen girl is floating, reaching to touch a computer screen. She has stars in her eyes and an effect comes from her hand touching the screen, with stars and confetti exploding out. Behind her and the computer there are computer windows, each of them depicting different things. One has a sexy lady advertising something. One has a vtuber excited about a 9mm in a video game. One has Johnlock fanart. One has thumbs up and heart emojis. Another has a dance YouTube video. One has an angry mob with pitchforks and death threats. And one has creepy eyes locking in on the young preteen girl. The internet.

thanks for saying this. its frustrating that a lot of people overlook the accessibility aspects— having more ways to interact based on the myriad of needs people have seems more compassionate to me, not less

zukins

A page full of pen and ink doodles of Zukin (ddr character) wearing different outfits. There's a kinda cheery circular cutout with Robo Zukin looking cute in front of a bunch of DDR arrows. On the right is Devil Zukin hunched over with a disassociated expression. In the background, it references the "aren't you tired of being nice? don't you just wanna go ape shit?" meme. A frog Zukin in the corner replies with "no I am tired of others being mean".

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

I’m pretty emotionally beat today. Just trying to once again take in the onslaught of authoritarianism and fascism this country is experiencing. The only reprieve I am offering is some images of queer people comforting each other. I hope it helps someone today.
