For a hundred centuries the Emperor Jimmy Buffett has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Tampa. He is master of Long Florida by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Margaritaville.

I had to see this abomination so I'm sharing it with Bluesky. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only Long Florida. Praise be to the undying Jimmy Buffet, eternal may he reign.

Advice to live by.
illustration of an otter with a tie, a namebadge saying 'Steve' and a cup of coffee. Text reads: Do not seize the day. That only startles it, and nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee. Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact. Maybe offer a polite nod. Act casual. If the day growls, starts making demands, or mentions shenanigans back away quietly and return to bed.

foxes-in-love.bsky.social
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Green has just woken up, bleary-eyed, while Blue is still sound asleep. Green narrates. Green, narrating: You might wake up at 5 on a cold, dark monday to the sound of someone scraping frost off their windshield. Still sleepy-eyed, Green turns towards sleeping Blue. Green, continuing to narrate: But you are warm, safe and cozy, in bed with the love of your life. Closing his eyes again, Green cuddles up to Blue. Green, narrating: One of life's sweet, fleeting moments of pure and perfect bliss. Blue wakes up, both foxes are bleary-eyed and half-asleep. Blue: Can you get off me? I need to go pee. Green, still narrating: Very fleeting.
