this is one of my all time favorite inktobers because it is literally the design schematic for the final chapters of my novel.

this is for 5 october 2023 in the #inktober challenge. the prompt is "map."
a map (not to scale) of the finale of a story, featuring a homestead, a train, several roller coasters, and some of the paths taken across tall grass fields by the principal actors.

nobel prize. right fucking now. im serious.
Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and ‘wear’ it, with a behavior known as “covering reaction”, mainly because they shy away from light. So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.

we could have a democracy again if a majority of people simply took 8 minutes to make calls to their representative and senators and say "I don't want this and I'll vote for your opponent next time if you don't do something"

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

"There is no insurrection.

[...]

The only issue is whether the Supreme Court will allow the president to say that there is an insurrection, and then use his own patently false proclamation to justify flooding American cities with soldiers to “fight crime.”"
Trump is the insurrection
And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Something that's been going on for a while now. This is Einstein writing in 1949...

monthlyreview.org/articles/why...
Paragraph from Why Socialism? by Albert Einstein. It reads: "This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career."
