This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received.

Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

a big black newfoundland sits for a headshot and avoids eye contact with the camera. the fur on her head is sticking up in all directions like a cockatoo crest, boy band member, or perhaps like she had an incident with static electricity during a nap recently. she’s rocking it.

This is Jess. She's not having a bad hair day. Just a late ’90s boy band hair day. 13/10 (IG: jessthenewf)

Was looking up the ingredients of a skin care product I like. Their AI helpfully suggested this for my face also.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

I believe that everyone should be allowed the space and time and opportunity to become who they truly are. I am sad that some people, given the space and time and opportunity, choose to be assholes.

Textile artwork with busy flower motifs in purples and greens

I'm sorry that was your grandfather's experience too. With my mom it's been auditory hallucinations, and it's now almost constant. It is such a multi-faceted disease with such difficult outcomes. The hallucinations must be so hard for them to be living with, my heart breaks for everyone with it.

Before you were anything - before name or breath, you were love becoming form. Not made, but woven in the hush of a womb, humming with the music of belonging. Knitted from the yarn that holds the stars together- not separate from the holy, but one with it. And still - this world forgets. Teaches you to forget. To close. To carry the wound as if it were your name. But beloved, you are not the wound. You are the weaver. You are the thread. You are the divine. This is how we heal- not by striving, but by softening into the truth of who we are. We are not broken. We are knitted from love. The very fabric of our being. Every moment, every breath. If only we can remember... (Christy Sharshel 5.24.25)

Just on the off chance you are needing way more weirdness in your day. Georgie Dann's "Paloma Blanca" (1975). Wow. The weird. It burns.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin."

Painting of three bees in flight on a cornflower blue background. The wings seem to be in motion. A very simple yet beautiful painting.

A large black cat lying on an alley road in Montreal, looking directly at the camera. The road is covered in blossoms from the trees overhead, the buildings behind it are red brick with green windows and doors.

A portrait in the style of early Klimt of a young woman with short dark hair, blue eyes and red lipstick looking directly at the viewer. She's wearing a cream coloured dress, with large flowers and portraits of flowers behind her.

"Unblinking" by Tracy Porter

A gold linotype print of a densely wooded area, with fine detail on every leaf, every blade of grass, every tree.

A gorgeous watercolour scene of sunshine coming through the trees on the snow- in the backdrop are some mountains. It is done in hues of blues and whites and yellow and is a beautiful interplay of light filtered in different ways.

Image of a black and gold cat with green eyes peering down intently at the viewer, reminding them it is way past breakfast time.

I slept in past Eat O'Clock, and this is what I woke up to.

A toystore display of all kinds of different rubber animals, sharks, dinosaurs, chipmunks, lizards, whales, tigers,elephants, etc.

Almost any day, no matter how bad, can be brightened up with a rubber dinosaur or shark. (I didn't realize until after I took this picture that someone had arranged the sharks in a feeding frenzy, which just makes this day even better).

A painting of a woman laying on a couch with her back turned to the viewer. She's propped up on pillows and reading a book. The sunlight from the window is landing on her and the book and the floor. It's a beautiful playing of shadow and light of very normal everyday experience.

Our landlord is currently up in our attic trying to evict the family of raccoons who moved in. If Guardians of the Galaxy taught us anything, it's that they should've brought an mp3 player and a rocket launcher.

I will never not love this. "Carol Brown" by the Flight of the Conchords. Perfection.

OMG! That is a nightmare. Glad everyone is okay. Wow.

an image of a child's blue cast with many signatures and pictures in different coloured inks on it

Not fun breaking your wrist as a nine-year-old, BUT being able to get everyone in your class to sign your cast does make you the envy of the fourth grade.

An image of beautiful person with long black hair framing their face. They are looking away from the gaze of the viewer, wearing a knit scarf. They have clasped a piece of their hair and we see a gold ring on the middle finger of their hand.
