This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

Youraislopbores.me screenshot I asked for “tornado picking up and tossing the Amtrak train I’m currently riding through a storm” Response: a cute line drawing of a tornado indeed throwing a train around

Wow this rules! I’m stuck on a train trundling through a storm so I’m going to camp this website looking for draw requests!

Yes yes yes yes yes

50 awful drawings of my wretched cat

As I get older I'm coming to increasingly radical views like "you have to do things to get good at them" and "you have to think about problems to solve them"

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

To appreciate trans existence you have to face the horrifying reality that trans adults were not cis kids.

A page from a risograph comic. An ancient amphibian called Broomistega wanders a desert and asks: do you love me?

To celebrate finishing the 4th print edition of Broomistega & Thrinaxodon, I would like to share the complete comic with you. It's about two very different Triassic animals at the end of the world 1/7 #paleoart #sciart #furryart

iPad screenshot. The left is a VizRef file filled with pictures of stuffed passenger pigeon specimens and black and white pictures of live birds. The right is a browser open to Wikimedia Commons with the search term "passenger pigeon"

Was struggling drawing the zine enough that it was time to Gather References.

On the plus side, my brain is broken specifically with regard to passenger pigeons, so I will be returning to this VisRef file many times in my future.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I'm gonna make a zine

Thinking about extinction again

They're calling her the goat, the greatest to ever do it, the genius of the 21st century, the most vindicated bitch who ever lived, her haters in shambles her doubters in tears she's loosed the faithful lightning of her terrible swift sword, HER TRUTH IS MARCHING ON

Wow, friends!!
