「 AQUAMARINE AFFLUENCE 」 💫
portrait commission for @kitonishiki.gay
image is a digital portrait of an anthropomorphic feline character dressed in a light crop-top hoodie and dark slacks with aquamarine and metallic gold patterning and hardware accenting the apparel. A translucent umbrella is languidly propped against the character's shoulder. The text in the backdrop reads: Shaken, not stirred. Delve into the top ten must-haves to complete your home bar. The rhythm of the night. Juoko returns with a brand new single. Aquamarine affluence. Take your wardrobe to a new level with rich teals mixed with gold. #furryart #furry #anthro

My sister, writing about the fortunes that Duke Students throw out after every semester.
indyweek.bsky.social INDY Week @indyweek.bsky.social · May 26
The first time I went down there, last week, I noticed something neon in a tote bag and pulled out $395 Balenciaga slides. Nearby were $980 Valentino sneakers—worn, but definitely wearable.
I Salvaged $6,000 of Luxury Items Discarded by Duke Students. Why Did It Make Me Feel So Terrible?
At the end of the school year, a lot gets tossed by Duke students at my downtown Durham apartment building. This year I decided to dive in.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles 🚀

LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF
A banner that reads OLDER LGBT SCIENCE FICTION: A DATABASE in big letters, and tinyurl.com/oldgaySF in smaller print below. The background is an orange-tinted retro-looking photo of a row of radio telescopes.

Love having a cat because it means googling things like “my cat is yawning a lot” and experts saying “that either means they are relaxed OR anxious”

Google pushes HORSE SHIT directly in front of you lol

That ain’t no quote of Wittgenstein.
Al Overview Ludwig Wittgenstein famously said, "it ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it, and the context in which you say it". This quote reflects his belief that the meaning of words is determined by how they are used in a specific context.

a pine tree with bugs hanging all around it. at the very top is a dragonfly-like meganeura with open wings, circling the base is the giant millipede arthropleura. on the branches sit various insects and circular pine cones.
