Today's art practice: drawing my profile picture (headshot version bc hands scare me)

#art #drawing #selfportrait

me learning to draw bc I gotta show yall the shit in my brain and just writing doesn't really capture the exact image I see sometimes

I had a good time out at Providence RI's #NoKings protest, repping the #dualcitizen 🇸🇮🇺🇲 flair, and a great time seeing videos of everyone else's protests after.

Our country will survive and (hopefully) become better than it ever was. Lots of hope seeing so many good people.

Plato's Cave allegory, illustrated. the shadows on the cave wall are captioned "increasingly insane and extreme positions", the prisoners labeled "internet users", the figures holding the shadow's shapes labeled "algorithms", the fire labeled "random internet users expressing their idiosyncratic beliefs". the space above the cave is labeled "literally just outside" and the philosopher freed from the chains of the physical world labeled "guy who logs off"

from "Classical Studies memes for Hellenistic teens" on FB

A meme with the text " Gay Pride is over. We're done with that. " over the top of a picture of Sora from Kingdom Hearts, followed by the text " Now we're doing GAY WRATH " over the top of a picture of Sora in his shadowy Anti Form from Kingdom Hearts 2.

Made this meme years ago and thought I'd share it here for Wrath Month. 🏳️‍🌈🗝

I leave for TWO WEEKS and I come back to a re-arranged grocery store???¿?¿?¿?¿

"Sara, you're going to Austria in like 2 days! How are you practicing your German? Flash cards? Duolingo?"

I do not understand how people with fruit trees near me are letting their fruit rot on the ground.

Bitch!

Thems is FREE APPLES.

PICK THEM??¿??¿?¿¿??

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

This is how I realize that Catholicism is just Jesus: For the Crows™ lmaoo

(same tho. i also like shiny thing and bone)

Playing story-based video games is as good as reading or watching movies.

You will not change my mind.

Happy Easter!

Remember: even when all felt lost and the world seemed left in darkness, our God was never really gone. No one could've dreamed of the triumph, the light, that was to come--but it did come, and because of that, we are free.

Alleluia ✨️

How dare all of you celebrate Christ's resurrection when every year, you foam and shout to have Him put on that very cross? Hypocrites. Murderers. Thieves and liars. You never knew or loved Jesus; if you did, you wouldn't have killed Him again and again and again.

A lamppost covered in dark vines that resemble a creature with long hair bent over. When the light is on, it looks like the head/skull is glowing.

I grew up on a diet of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark... I swear these vines covering a lamppost in Wroclaw, Poland are straight out of my childhood nightmares.

Kevin Rudolph's 2008 song "Let it Rock" being a Biblically inspired song (by artist admission!) yet still requiring a sex-themed rap segment to be commercially viable/in line with industry standards is an allegory for how God's message is tempered to be palatable to the world. In this essay, I will—

Lmfao.

Not to be a 💩head but... a lot of Americans are not gonna like returning to the roots of their rural ancestors.

My 🇸🇮 mom grew up this way. She always said "there'll be a day where you'll be lucky to have slop." Here we are. Hope everyone likes milk rice.

Right 🥲 the title is meant to be provocative so the dude can get sales but its really all just.

Ass.

Lmao I'm the opposite: i will space out if I gotta listen instead of read 😭

The Call is Coming from Inside the House (of Worship) | Book Review: The Sin of Empathy by Joe Rigney Self awareness? Who is she? I don't know her.Two and a half months ago, after Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal diocese of Washington D.C. gave her address to Trump and pleaded for mercy on ...

Im glad you're enjoying it!! It means a lot; thank you for grabbing a copy! 🥰

Like, go ahead and split from the RCC; they kinda suck. But if you're out here tossing the baby out with the bathwater by removing all of the actual mystical/spiritual components (real presence in the Eucharist, mysticism in general) then your religion is just superstitious atheism.

The end. Lmao.

"I respect that there are differences between Catholic & Protestant theology--"

I don't. Once we move past denominations that tossed out the sacraments, we just get people fucking LARPing to the point acting like knowing the name Jesus makes them better than everyone else. Messy af.

I finished reading The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits by some Joe Whatever.

Who could've guessed it would be trash? Lmao.

Seeing some dog shit "Christian" book say that Christianity has a bad image from the underhanded efforts of PROGRESSIVE BILLIONAIRES has made me take some insane psychic damage lmao.

"Progressive" and "billionaire" do not belong in the same sentence.

I wanna work with the libs, ok. Mostly because we need the numbers. But like… I’m REALLY gonna need you to do a few things for this to work out.

1) Stop thinking ANY of these rich people are going to save you.

2) Stop being surprised when they don’t.

3) Stop blaming us when they don’t.
