Watch Trauma Dump with Lou Wilson! Paul is the goat 🐐 #traumadumpwithlouwilson
A hand-drawn marker poster for the webshow, "Trauma Dump with Lou Wilson." Depicts Lou sitting atop a giant goose egg with one hand on his knee and the other under his chin. Motion lines and his slightly strained smile indicate that he may topple off at any moment. Behind the words "Trauma Dump," there are clouds gathering that turn darker from left to right. Behind Lou, there are also limes in midair. Lou is wearing red sunglasses; a cream jacket with an orange collar and trim on the sleeves and pockets, an Asian tiger on the chest and green vines on the right shoulder and left pocket; dark blue jeans, black socks, and red laceless sneakers. The goose egg has a stamp in red that says "Thursdays 5pm PST." The poster replicate's the show's style with a double line turquoise border and text, except Lou's name which is a signature in black pen. The background is yellow with orange stars.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

After Effects just baa'd at me for the first time, scared the sheep out of me
a cartoon of a man wearing a shirt that says the king
Alt: A GIF of Dennis Nedry (portrayed by Wayne Knight) from Jurassic Park (1993), with the character's oversized head atop a cartoon Elvis body that says "King," waggling a finger. This is a recreation of the GIF that appears when Ray Arnold (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson) attempts to access the security system via Nedry's computer.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

At their best, a knight is a warrior. Which is to say, one who prizes danger for themselves over the thought of danger for another.

What a bro move. RIP Tom Lehrer 🖤#publicdomain
Screenshot of Tom Lehrer’s wikipedia page: “In October 2020, Lehrer transferred the music and lyrics for all songs he had ever written into the public domain: ‘In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs. So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money. — Tom Lehrer’ In November 2022, Lehrer formally relinquished the copyright and performing/recording rights on his songs, making all music and lyrics composed by him free for anyone to use, and established a website from which all of his recordings and printable copies of all of his songs could be downloaded. His statement releasing all his works into the public domain concludes with this note: ‘This website will be shut down at some date in the not too distant future, so if you want to download anything, don't wait too long.’As of July 2025, the website is still online.

There is a relief fund set up for the Kerr County floods in Central Texas, should you want a place to send some cash. It looks like a local community fund, so it should be legit.

Painted true gaslight gatekeep girlboss Moiraine earlier this month to 1) celebrate pride and 2) try and get over Wheel of Time being cancelled 😭 Still a fantastic show + worthwhile watch. Hoping they find new distribution #SaveWOT

Photo of a painting on a small square canvas depicting Moiraine, a white woman with long, dark brown hair, from the Wheel of Time show. She is depicted from about the knee up and is standing in the middle of a desert in daylight, with a blue cloudy sky overhead. She wears a form-fitting sleeveless blue dress with a gold bodice and a gold chain diadem with a dark stone. She wields a glass ball sa'angreal glowing light yellow with the power of the weave, which is also surrounding her as she focuses. The power is causing a wind, giving some lift to her hair and dress.

#makeaterriblecomicday2025
A comic doodled in gel pen. First panel: Cat standing on its hind legs in a room. Second panel: Extreme close up of part of cat's face. Third panel is split into two triangles, the top showing the scared glasses-wearing owner (me) and the bottom showing the cat's eyes ablaze, mouth open in an evil smile: "FEED ME," says the eldritch text between them, highlighted in red.

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025! It’s mandatory that you create some piece of sequential art — what it is and how you make it is up to you! Have fun! You might as well!
a comic. a possum is rummaging around inside a trash can. It erupts from the can holding something in its paws. “hey!” she says. She holds out the desktop calendar. “Today is June 24th! Look!” She leans on the edge of the trash can. “that means today is make a terrible comic day!” She produces a ballpoint pen from the trash and clicks it. “the idea is to just make something! no rules, just enjoy the act of creation! (Or don’t and just do it anyway)” she is drawing on the cardboard back of the calendar. “tell a story, tell a joke, make something silly or sublime or totally abstract! make something and don’t stop making it until it’s made!” She holds up her little comic with pride. “tell your inner critic to ‘fuck off!’ make a terrible comic!”
