Last night I went to a $5 emo house show performed on a small stage in a gravel parking lot, and it’s the first time I’ve felt alive in so long.

INFINITY TRAIN was an incredible kid's show and should be held in the same esteem as something like OVER THE GARDEN WALL or ADVENTURE TIME.

How are people finding new music and up-and-coming artists these days? Streaming services seem to all suck at actual discovery and highlighting new acts, and the music hipster in me craves finding smaller, niche bands. What blogs, playlists, YouTubers, tastemakers are you following?

Daily Doodle
(or when I don't forget to post them)
A man wearing a top hat, a suit and monocle reading the newspaper in an expressionist style. The French text next to him says " Un jour de plus, un jour de moins" which translates to "One more day, a day less"

As someone whose day job is writing for a website and editing for SEO, this is a great insightful thread about how Google is not your friend, and how they may also be their own worst enemy for the Internet as we know it

So this ad revenue metric is indicative of such a fascinating and weird set of business decisions by Google to inexplicably kill of SEO-- and I honestly don't get how they think this is going to pay off for them in the long run.

Not food related, but I just wanted to note that no horror movie has or will ever scare me as much as the cover of the Klutz Face Painting book did in 1992
A girl with blonde hair and a face painted to look like a cat or possibly Minnie Mouse, makes a wild expression, while wearing a red and white polka dot bow in her hair and bowtie around her neck

Thank you for hosting this #artshare, and congratulations on your 300 followers! 💗

I'm a creature artist for fantasy and science fiction, who also likes to draw big detailed illustrations sometimes.
Creature Concept: Greek Chimera A pale tan, muscular humanoid lion woman with goat's legs hangs upheld by her long snake tail, which ends with the horned head of a European Adder. The adder breathes smoke, and the lion hold a streaming fireball in her left hand. The other hand is upraised in a flex. The snake tail is covered in polished bronze jewelry, and the lion portion wears nothing but a shawl of goat hide, the back of which has 2 horned goat skulls stitched onto it. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social Creature Concept: The Executrix (Gorgon-Lamia Gynoid) A thin, robotic woman with a giant khopesh in one hand and a smoking rocket launcher in the other slithers in front of a black background on her snake-like lower body of metal plates. Her mouth is open in a scream, and black oil is sloshing out of it while neon magenta flames streak from her eyes, which are weeping tears of similar oil. Her entire head is medusa-like, and her scalp is ringed by mechanical snakes whose heads all point in the direction her khopesh is raised. Their mouths are opened to reveal firing gun barrels mounted in their throats. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social. Illustration: Stormfront Illustration of a pale orange stone desert, with mountains in the background. Behind the mountains looms a churning, deep blue stormfront, which is split by a single bolt of lightning that reaches to a nearby floating island, and from there to the nearest peak. Dust blows violently across the landscape in front of the storm, and in the foreground, two dragonfly-like mechs perch on some eroded rock formations. They have scrap solar panels for wings, and twin cockpits for eyes. Two characters stand on top of the nearest mech; one sitting upon the wing rotator joint, and the other looking towards the storm through a pair of binoculars. In the further mech, the pilots remain in the eyeball cockpits. One appears to be viewing a holographic display within the glass, and the other is looking over his shoulder, eyes shaded, at the storm. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.
