out with the old etc
two 'lemon pigs' (lemons with cuts in them to symbolize mouths and ears, with cloves for eyes and a coin in their mouths, toothpicks for legs, etc) except these are made out of oranges. their eyes are unpopped popcorn kernels. they look slightly demented, because the proportions of an orange are less cute than a lemon.

A brown tabby sitting on a windowsill. She is wearing a green cat-sized hoodie, with eyes on the pulled-back hood that look like frog eyes. Her eyes are the same shade of green as the frog hoodie.

the welsh marches, a. e. housman.
The sound of fight is silent long That began the ancient wrong; Long the voice of tears is still That wept of old the endless ill. In my heart it has not died, The war that sleeps on Severn side; They cease not fighting, east and west, On the marches of my breast. Here the truceless armies yet Trample, rolled in blood and sweat; They kill and kill and never die; And I think that each is I.

truly who can say
A closeup of an AI image, showing evidence of it being AI: the hands of the skeleton are a mess, and the ribs don't go anywhere and float in the air. A closeup of an AI image to prove that it's AI: two human's arms melt together. A closeup of an AI image showing a detail that proves it's AI: A horse, the reigns of which curve (flatly?) the same way around its neck.

MMMMMM mm thinking moving across the world on horses body split at the edge of their necks neck sweat eating at my jeans moving across the world on horses so if I had a newsman's brain I'd say well some morals are physical must be clear and open like diagram of a watch or star one must eliminate much that is one turns when the bullet leaves you walk off see none of the thrashing the very eyes welling up like bad drains believing then the moral of newspapers or gun where bodies are mindless as paper flowers you don't feed or give to drink that is why I can watch the stomach of clocks shift their wheels and pins into each other and emerge living, for hours

'gee i hope this weird looking little kid in ABOUT A BOY grows into his... face'
nick hoult in ABOUT A BOY, where he's like, six? eleven? i'm not looking it up. anyway, he's a little british white boy in a british school's uniform (jumper, shirt, tie), standing in front of tinsel and christmas decorations. his eyes are very sharp and blue, his face is very round, he kind of looks like an oompah loompah.

A panel from the Vertigo comic Preacher (written by Garth Ennis, drawn by Steve Dillon) featuring the protagonist addressing a group of KKK members. He is shouting at one in particular, who has a long drooping nose, is balding, deep set eyes and a weak chin. The protagonist says: "Why is it that the greatest of the champions of the white race turn out to be the worst examples of it? You! Where the fuck is your chin?"

"if you voted right everything would be normal right now" "remember the good old days when you didn't have to keep up with politics"
An exerpt from American War by Omar El Akkad. It reads: "Sarat thought about the question. It seemed sensible to crave safety, to crave shelter from the bombs and the Birds and the daily depravity of war. But somewhere deep in her mind and idea began to fester -- perhaps the longing for safety was itself just another kind of violence -- a violence of cowardice, silence, and submission. What was safety, anyway, but the sound of a bomb falling on someone else's home?"

Quote with your favorite anti-fascist film.
A screenshot from Snowpiercer, a 2013 film directed by Bong Joon Ho. It shows Minsoo (played by Song Kang-ho) holding his daughter Yoona (Go Ah-sung) as they stand in a dingy train car, staring out the window.

i'm reading this and feeling the same way
The cover of a book: 'American War' by Omar El Akkad. Along with the title (in red and blue) and the author's name (in black), text also says that it's a best seller, and quotes Michiko Kakutani of the New York Times: "Powerful... as haunting a post apocalyptic universe as Cormac McCarthy [created] in The Road." The cover depicts a blue-white sky, the horizon washed out over a flat yellow scrub brush desert; an abandoned building, squat and faded, sits next to a dirt road. In the distance, telephone poles rot into nothingness.

tapping the sign again.
A tweet from Twitter, by @Chandos_II. It reads: Once you turn 23 it's actually impossible to be smart anymore. Smart is something children are when they do well on a test. You have to find something else to be now.
