He did it again for the 5 year anniversary

personally i think shouting into the void is probably a frightening experience for the void. maybe that’s why the void won’t answer back and you’re all alone? just a thought

Oo! There's a new one from the same artist! a.co/d/d9Ef9HG

I haven't started looking yet, but I'd be curious what's available. I got a really pretty illuminated one for last year.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

tiny little frogs singing their songs

A digital homage/ripoff of Magritte’s painting ‘The Treachery of Images’. An image of a brown and black tobacco pipe with a curved stem sits isolated on a plain tan field. Below the pipe in black cursive handwriting is the phrase ‘Peut-être que cela arrivera aujourd'hui’ which I sincerely hope is an adequate French translation of ‘Maybe it will happen today’

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

watching things grow

stop. calling. evil people. psychotic.

ppl in psychosis are far more likely to be harmed than to harm others. ppl in psychosis make up a LARGE portion of ppl killed by cops. mentally ill ppl aren't your scapegoats. use your words and call this what it is instead of throwing us under the bus.

I fully intend to buy myself a theramin at the end of this year.

I need to live long enough to learn to play the queerest instrument of them all, the theremin

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Breaking my social media fast to tell you that the Oregon Humane Society has slashed adoption fees 50% this weekend to offset an intake surge in the aftermath of an animal hoarding raid. Go adopt a new bestie like Miles (link below).

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

I mean, it did smell really weird on Tuesday. But it's mostly soggy right now.

Noodles the cat looking down through a hole at the bottom of his cat tree, like the ceiling cat meme.

Sir Noodles Lapsha de Mimsy Porpington has gone. I will miss him terribly. His last week was good and yesterday he caught and ate a spider. Today I am cleaning the condo so when I get home later there is no cat stuff sitting around.

Friends, some advice if you plan on spending time outside in an animal costume, sharing for no particular reason:

-You will sweat a lot more than you think. Have water/snacks

-You cannot move well (the Left Shark guy is a trained experienced professional dancer). Don’t run or you’ll trip and fall.

Donate to Help An Artist Feed Their Family, organized by Thiiird Person Hello to you and yours! I'm a full time artist who fills my world up with music and la… Thiiird Person needs your support for Help An Artist Feed Their Family

Support requested!

I've been looking for my next job for a while; haven't landed it yet.

My family still needs to eat, and I still need to pay the bills.

So I'm asking if you have a few $$ to spare today. Any amount helps me cover expenses.

I'm thiiirdperson on Cashapp, Venmo, Kofi, and Paypal.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest. There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day. What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid. It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

I love Portland.

Here’s a photo of my cat trying to catch a bubble. You’re welcome.

Worth it!!!

A pile of zines called DONT BUILD THE TORMENT NEXUS!

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever made. Except that’s an evergreen statement at this point.

Thank you! Even though I could listen to today's without hearing last week's, I still for some reason want to listen in order. 😹
