Hey bro, like your boner?

PUT A MASK ON

Finland trains six-year-olds to spot fake news – and they might be better at it than you Finnish schools have made media literacy a key part of education, equipping even six-year-olds with the skills to spot fake news and online manipulation. Finland has consistently ranked as Europe’s m...

I just found out that Finland teaches kids in kindergarten to fact check, and actively teaches children how to spot fake news.

Why isn't this standard everywhere! The best time for other countries to follow suit was at the same time. The second best is now.

& some of us have drinking habits that are way more than that lol, wait until they sober up enough to homebrew/prison hooch their way through a year 😂

I just spent $30 on 2 inflatable costumes that I will beg or borrow back from friends at the end of the month to eat
lol

But that's a 4 year investment provided the fan lasts that long

& I will spend my last $50 every month on mutual aid or this garbage until they give up

Every major city has a party marching band now! It's one of burning man's first exports

everyone that was ever in a marching band and can play top 40 hits from any decade can join them

Everyone needs to stand behind, not above not below, but behind and beside Indigenous moms

Rise that tide, and it lifts all the boats but the supremacist ones

Disappointing exactly everyone

Millions of you are in the exact same boat I was born into. And without adequate healthcare, how would any of you know?

The fact that I've worked too much already, never seems to settle into their brains

Even when we talk about it

The US govt owes me about it bc I was never supposed to work like that,
& Amazon, Bank of America, Target, all benefited from my disabled and shouldn't have been working at all labor

If I may add one to this helpful list: “low man/bottom of the totem pole.” That position is actually a *high* honor bc it is the foundation holding everyone else. It is not a low ranking figure at all

The Border Patrol helicopters are back at it in Chicago - just saw one near me in Wicker Park flying toward Humboldt Park

Low-flying choppers patrolling our neighborhoods are now so common they hardly get mentioned. Each sighting used to get a flurry of videos - now there's hardly a single post

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

Swatch pattern card on top of matching pattern background. Swatch card is a large white rectangle with a square swatch of the NESS magazine brand pattern I designed in the 2025 summer issue colour-way. Swatch card has font at the bottom corner that read “BABE&OAK endpage repeat pattern summer 2025 client: NESS magazine” and the stamp for Babe&Oak in the bottom right corner.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.
