A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

It took me a long time to get passed the β€œwell I don’t really know much about it so I don’t feel strongly” mental barrier I had around Israel. Which is weird, not knowing much about things has never once stopped me from feeling strongly about them

A Muslim Democratic Socialist who unequivocally supports trans rights just won a landslide in NYC, despite establishment Dems spending millions of dollars trying to tank his campaign

Maybe the establishment Dem losing streak is a skill issue idk

Even with AI he can’t make a woman say she loves him sincerely. But when she looks at her vampire boyfriend that smile hits her eyes. Sorry Elon

Snap is one of the most effective social programs we have. My family was on it when my son was little (I had to quit work bc I made less than the cost of daycare) and without snap and wic I don’t know where we’d be now

I’m sure this is silly but I am SO impressed with your ability to draw black birds. I’ve been trying to paint crows for ages and they always turn out kind of a crow shaped black blur

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

People probably wouldn't celebrate the deaths of horrible people if they had been held to account for their many many many crimes while they were alive.

An oil painting of actor Jeff Goldblum from the 80s. His stare is intense, straight into the viewer’s soul. He’s back lit, creating a halo glow in his curly hair. His chest and shoulder are bare and his skin has a warm glow. The colors are highly saturated and the brush strokes are visible.

Happy Jeff Goldblum day!
Why is it Jeff Goldblum day? Because I’m posting a painting of Jeff Goldblum I just finished!

I think they’re against anything other than squatting in the fields to birth a baby. Because, you know, medical interventions save mothers lives

lol. I am absolutely not surprised that the mommy blog space has slid hard into MAGA. I spent years trying to fit into that space and it was awful.

Hate to do this but can you guys share this tiktok around on that app because a dude is stealing my art and designs and is running a dropshipping scam to steal people's money and the copyright forms are literally not doing their job. I can't let my work be used like this

Being a creative in 2025 is like, okay, time to work: first, let’s have a good cry about all the cruelty we are powerless to stop in the world but not too long, don’t want to drown in despair and alright time to draw my silly little pictures now
