rough animation i started of the man from another place doing his iconic dance. idk if i'll ever finish this but it was a fun stylizing movement exercise

a cartoony illustration of special agent dale cooper and sheriff harry truman from twin peaks as their fursonas, a magenta-ish pine marten for coop and a scruffy curly furred doodle mutt for truman. they are standing over many donuts.

happy #twinpeaksday! every year on this day i like to make a drawing celebrating this special show & its characters who are very dear to me as cartoon animals. this year's is based on a promo poster i've hung up in every apt i've lived in for the last few years of coop & truman.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I think if we take away anything from the trans medicare coverage ban being taken out of the bill it's that pressure works. As stupid and futile as "call your reps!" can feel, we saw a direct result of it. Now you have to call and email your House reps saying you need the ICE funding gone.

if you can please consider stopping using twitter and therefore, stopping your support for such an awful site ): I know its hard for artists who relay on the income they get there, but I believe we can make other sites, such as this one, a way better place long run

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

alright, mat is now at $50/$300! he has his court date tomorrow, so donations are sorely needed. let's help keep mat and oy housed! #mutualaid

HAHAHA

this article is so stupid

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

my friend mat needs #mutualaid! unfortunately, he is in danger of eviction. his partner of three years left without warning, and he needs to pay prior rent debts to secure housing for him and his e.s.a. oy, a shepherd mix. anything helps!
$20/$300

A leopard gecko in a clear tub with stomach-high water sitting on a light green table

My beloved gecko Pluto has a recurring abscess in his hemipenes and desperately needs vet attention. This is the third time he's gone for this issue and this time they will want to do further testing to clear it up. I've had him for 8 years and previously nursed him from near death.

Save me Tiger Balm

Tiger Balm save me...

UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson, found to have overcharged cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000% The report is the latest indictment of America’s broken healthcare system.

"OptumRx, the group’s pharmacy benefit manager, along with its two main peers, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, have pocketed an extra $7.3 billion over cost thanks to price gouging, according to the findings of a report by the Federal Trade Commission."
