I made a comic.
Four panels. Panel 1: pile of clothes on chair, pile of clothes on floor, pile of hangers on floor. Text: I'll do better tomorrow. Panel 2: toothbrush in a cup, flosser next to it, I can do it! brush my teeth chart with stars on Monday AM, Wednesday PM, Saturday AM. More stars by chart. Text: I'll do better tomorrow. Panel 3: open laptop says sent job applications: 0. Text: I'll do better tomorrow. Panel 4: crying eyes looking into identical crying eyes in mirror. Text: I'll do better tomorrow

What's your favorite way you've rephrased shit lately? I like this but I'm also a big fan of "it's not a sprint AND it's not a marathon, it's a relay race" bc hand that baton off when you need to, pick it up when you can, GROUP EFFORT!

Someone said that much of therapy is convincing people that their anxieties are unfounded but in this era it’s like “Yeah those are all good points but there’s nothing to be gained by having Nazis AND dead houseplants.”

I bought a physical sketchbook for the first time this decade and I have some feelings about it
#HourlyComicDay #HCD #Hourlies
A two panel comic. In the first panel, Bex is holding up a sketchbook. She says, "I bought a physical sketchbook even though I hate drawing traditionally." The second panel is a close-up of Bex's grumpy face. She says, "Like, REALLY hate it." A continuation from the previous comic. A tiny Bex is stood on a giant Sketchbook with a giant iPad behind her. she says, "I fucking hate that gen AI makes me doubt the value of my digital work now. Seriously, who gives a shit?" A continuation from the previous page. A hand double taps a surface with two fingers, this is how you undo a line in Procreate. The text reads: My digital art is clean to a fault, something I've spent the last few years trying to unlearn. Is a wobbly line more authentic than a smooth line? Can you feel the artist through the tremors of their work? A continuation from the previous page. A large panel that's mostly black, with some semi abstract white forms scattered about. They look like leaves or flowers, but it's not specific. The text reads: But it takes a lot of effort and study to daw a smooth line, even if it's digital. Is that effort not also authentic?

Yeah I’ve seen “progressives” in other cities saying the blockades are a step too far…

ICE agents drive like they’re in GTA. Even beyond the kidnapping and the murder, they‘re speeding and crashing their cars everywhere. With zero consequences.

There are so very many things that are fucked up about how things are in Minnesota right now and it is hard to tell what the outside world knows about.

The street blockades may seem odd . . . if you haven't seen the way ICE & CBP drive.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

I'm going to win.
The way Ms. Hart sees it, romance writers must either embrace artificial intelligence, or get left behind. "If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who's going to win the race?" she said.

Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!
Screenshot from Tumblr User hatingongodot: “In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“ LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy User Shitacademicswrite: i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation! Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

Throwback to something worth repeating.
A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

I'm just unironically watching German Sesame Street now. This episode features the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg and German rapper Jan Delay. This shit is so cool

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

Tonight I’m trying to list out common themes in my work.

However, the challenge I’ve given myself is finding answers other than “worms.”

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

what are you doing!
a screenshot of two tumblr posts. the first: aralintheobsessive Jan 16 if you want butterflies, you need to live with caterpillars. iam not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center, stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that dares to consume a single leaf you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that turn into butterflies! what are you doing! (end of post) below it, a response from afroartinc: As a poet, I also want my viewers to take this rather beautiful allegory into account.

Hey men let's have a chat

I dont care if men dont know every social justice concept

I dont care if men dont know all the terms & labels & genders

I want men to treat other people with care & consideration & not as objectified products to be consumed for their own benefit & discarded like old toys

As men rant about the dangers of destroying reputations by releasing the Epstein files…

Remember that one of Gisele Pelicot’s rapists appealed because he felt the burden of being labeled a “rapist” was too much to bear.

He lost. They added to his sentence

There’s always hope.
Man who appealed Pelicot rape conviction handed longer jail term
A French court increases by a year the jail term of the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot.

A Redpoll on a thin branch. The bird is light brown with red patches on the chest and forehead. The wings are brown and white. The bird is leaning to the right. There are out of focus branches and red berries in the snowy background. A Pine Grosbeak standing on a snowy yard. He is red with gray patches. His wings are black and white.

I'm not saying that I want to write a Neopets TTRPG, just that I am exceptionally qualified to do so, with writing awards that include 2 Indiecade awards, a National Book Award finalist medal, the Eisner and Ignatz awards, and 50 NEOPIAN TIMES TROPHIES.
