This never led anywhere on Twitter or Mastodon before, so hereβs another try.
IΒ was given these drawings in late 2000 or early 2001 in high school near Paris, and was told that the artist had graduated the year before.
Iβm curious whether we can find them again.
The signature reads, βSaillyβ.

This is not meant as a call out, but I do want to pull this out because I have seen this expressed way too many times.
This is good old-fashioned ignorance mixed with a little bit of presumption. Anyone who uses this talking point simply does not understand what the modern car market looks like.
I don't believe in any gods.
But I do believe in Dolly Parton.
To break character - in 2022, Roger Shepard, pioneering cognitive scientist and creator of many famous illusions, passed away from Parkinson's.
We use a version of his Shepard Elephant as a mascot. In honour of Roger, 10% of profits from our artbook will go to USA + UK Parkinsonβs charities. β‘ π°

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
Thatβs it.
This got an exasperated eye-roll from my mother. A+ level of bad pun.
Ah, thank you for reminding me to buy another box of tractor feed paper! Gotta keep my dot matrix printer fed.

Did you guys know about the ancient roman multitool?
It is a very rare artifact, part of the Fitzwilliam Museum, that would have been a luxury item, and it has a knife, spoon, and fork, as well as a spike, spatula and small pick.
It is made out of silver, except the iron knife, now rusted.
Ah yes, thank you YouTube algorithm for reminding me I haven't watched this in a long while. Time to smile through the tears!

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

Β«Because you wouldn't have had any use for a princess if you were the Queen of the Dragons, and if you hadn't decided to take me on, that yellow-green dragon Moranz would probably have eaten me," Cim-orene explained. "You mean, if I were the King of the Dragons," Kazul corrected her. "Queen of the Dragons is a dull job." "But you're a female!" Cimorene said. "If you'd carried Colin's Stone from the Ford of Whispering Snakes to the Vanishing Mountain, you'd have had to be a queen, wouldn't you?" "No, of course not," Kazul said. "Queen of the Dragons is a totally different job from King, and it's not one I'm particularly interested in. Most people aren't. I think the position's been vacant since Oraun tore his wing and had to retire." "But King Tokoz is a male dragon!" Cimorene said, then frowned. "Isn't he?" "Yes, yes, but that has nothing to do with it," Kazul said a little testily. " 'King' is the name of the job. It doesn't matter who holds it." Cimorene stopped and thought for a moment. "You mean that dragons don't care whether their king is male or female; the title is the same no matter who the ruler is." "That's right. We like to keep things simple." "Oh." Cimorene decided to return to the original topic of conversation before the dragon's "simple" ideas confused her any further. "Why would the wiz-

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.

Meowdy!
a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.
This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Tomorrow I'm doing a lecture with a glorious disaster of a medieval Cymraeg story & so today I'm putting it on Bluesky (so I don't have to open X-itter where I told it the first time)
It might be incestuous & sort of has bestiality, but it's also one of the oldest Welsh stories with an LGBT theme!
