"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Four panel comic from Pizza Cake Comic (on Patreon as pizzacakecomic). First panel: A shoulder demon says, "I just had a Zoom meeting with my boss and he said empathy is a sin now." Second panel: Hapless Soul: ...What? Shoulder Demon: Yeah. Third panel: Shoulder Demon: So I guess I'm supposed to tempt you to... care about others? Fourth panel: Hapless Soul: I'm confused. Shoulder Demon: Me too.

Gooood morning sinners~! 🙃

Sloppy sloppy but @fahrenthold.bsky.social is on the case

Tonight's blood worm moon is the perfect time to recenter yourself by laying in the grass and letting the worms eat away the decay growing in your soul.

"Crazy? We were crazy once. They locked us in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. Rats make us crazy."

Oh my...

In Florida there is an urban legend that people put those plastic flamingos in their yard to ward off the giant mantis shrimp.

Panel 1: A farmer in overalls and a straw hat stands in a cornfield, speaking to a female scientist holding a clipboard. He asks, “So this is really a NASA project?” Panel 2: The scientist, looking offended, responds indignantly, “How dare you question my scientific approach?” Panel 3: The farmer, looking uncertain, says, “Sorry, it’s just that I’ve never made a crop circle before.” Panel 4: The sun sets as the camera zooms out to reveal a massive crop formation – not an alien symbol, but an elaborate depiction of the scientist in underwear in a sexy pose. The scientist reassures the farmer, “It’ll work. Trust me.”

People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable.

EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

A blind woman is on a date with an unknown person, nervous about expectations and their relationship. She says: "As a blind person, it's so difficult to find a proper partner. People can be too judgemental and harsh. I know I'm not perfect... And I understand if you don't want to date a--" She's immediately cut off by the mysterious figure, revealing herself to be Medusa, holding the hand of her girlfriend, comforting her and saying: "Silly, you're perfect just the way you are"

A never-before-shared photo of scarlet elf cup mushrooms from March 2024. Three red cups grow from under a mossy branch on the forest floor. Their bright red velvet interiors glow from inside fleshy white cups. All photos by me

Here are some nice mushrooms

I want to do a project where I go a little deeper on scientific papers that get picked up in the news. If you see anything that might be a good candidate, hit me up!

I’m like 99% sure that mice don’t even have genders.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
