i’m scared i just tromped through poison ivy, please pray for me, i can’t do this again

Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, looks like a very sad dog as he pleads with someone off-panel, "Daniel please. I won't..."

an effective webcomic update post tells new readers a bit about the characters or plot while enticing current readers to catch the new page

and yet the only caption I want to add here is: "alexa play Rancid's 'Rejected'"

a pog with a light blue background. on top of the background are the words “ice queen” in a sports jersey kind of font in purple with a green drop shadow. in front of those words is Betty Boop wearing a purple and green cat suit jersey kind of thing and she is holding a hockey stick that has an action mark showing it made contact with something. the something is her dog which is also the puck and it’s in midair.

i just found this silly little Betty Boop hockey pog and now i kinda want it as a tattoo…..

i warned my partner about the ruthlessness of the 50-70 year old women at the annual library book sale and told him he had to stand his ground against them, but when it came down to it, i did allow them to bully me a little 😔

Spencer from Very Important People (Dropout TV) as a customized 1998 Happy Meal Furby. it’s labeled “Spencer - Just a Baby” like the intro screen from the show

a close up of Spencer’s face (the real one - not the Furby)

a close up of the Furby’s face. he is looking to the side and has tiny fangs and a pig like nose

i shared this on my Insta (@garlicfurb) but wanted to share here too :)

just a baby~

my coworker was trying to fill up a tattoo flash sheet & she asked me what my favorite hockey player’s jersey number is so now we have a random #52 for Pyotr Kochetkov up for grabs at this little studio in Michigan 🥴

my friend’s six year old got me to play with sidewalk chalk with her and (sensory nightmare aside) i highly recommend putting your ass on the sun-warmed ground and drawing until the sun sets and only the fireflies stay up watching

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, grabs the sholder of Daniel, a Japanese dude in a winter parka. Denver is distressed and trying to apologize but Daniel is steadfastedly not looking at him and saying, "This was a mistake."

how do you woo your former friend who stopped talking to you after his sister died back into your rock band? Denver is genuinely asking, obviously his current strategy is NOT working

a sign in front of a bowl of candy, the sign shows the buff bunny meme with the caption “you wouldn’t steal a car. you would don’t steal candy from a baby. eating this candy IS stealing from your client.” this used the font that looks like the anti piracy commercial font. the little bunny in the meme is labeled “your client” and had spirals for eyes

made this sign for work. this is what i bring to the studio.

Maybe if your country is the wealthiest in the world but the richest tenth of the country have two thirds of the wealth and the bottom 50% only have 2.5% of the wealth, you don't have the wealthiest country in the world, you just have feudalism.

a 1998 Furby that’s been customized to look like Aury from Lily Mayne’s “The Rycke” book. He has green hued black fur, wears a black coat, has gray face, and talons on his toes. Greenish black wings rise up from his back. he sits in a dingy stairwell

another view of Aury, this time in half profile with his eyes visible. they are black with green swirls

Aury from the back showing the back of his coat and his wings rising up from it

gray spikes coming out of Aury’s fur viewed from the back. he is not wearing his wings or coat.

already posted this on my insta with more info (@garlicfurb / @lainvhare) but this is Aury from @authorlilymayne.bsky.social’s The Rycke (Monstrous series) as a 1998 Furby! i need to make him a little chicken or something to hang out with now…

don't mind my cat. she's just playing with her favorite toy: a black halter top with the words "i have no tits" printed across the chest.

ITYSL screenshot of Tim Robinson saying “i don’t want anyone to have the worst day at their job…”

me every single time i am about to require a service worker to interact with me for any reason at their job:

i recently watched The Mighty Ducks for the first time since i was a child and the whole movie i was just like “…ok cool but this man needs therapy.”

sharing this lil snaily mushroom baby again - still available!

the longer he lives in my home, the harder it will be to say goodbye 🥲

i stayed up until 2AM reading this from the beginning last night and i am So Tired today but: worth it

a Saginaw Spirit Vincent Trochek bobble head box showing the bobble head on one side and a photo of Trochek on the ice in his Spirit jersey on the other visible side

living in Michigan i don’t really find Rangers gear at the thrift, but i do live near Saginaw so i did find this today, which is close enough ig

a 1998 Furby drawn in procreate. it is smoking a fat donk and the eyes look like he’s a bit faded. he is tan and brown.

i took my meds and smoked a bowl yesterday and worked on this for two hours straight.

(i colored over a photo i took in procreate - i don’t actually know how to draw 🥰)

(ps i didn’t draw the smoke, it’s from Canva)

editing tip: search through your manuscript and see how many times you use “just” and then figure out how many times you actually need to use it.

yours truly,
someone guilty of overusing the word “just” in their fiction

i want one single day where nobody sends me a video to watch on the world wide web

sometimes circumstances outside my control require me to reschedule male clients at work and they often say that they’re disappointed but they have no idea that i’ve never not disappointed a man and that i, in fact, thrive on it.
