The core of a Douglas fir pinecone is colonized by a family of tiny white mushrooms. Behind them is a sunlit autumn canopy. All photos by me

hey, so this fetish of mine may be a little weird and niche, but... I think writers and artists should have security and proper compensation and treatment

I like how getting older is basically getting really excited about home appliances that work well and rediscovering that [snack/show/game/song/book] you were obsessed with as a kid.

It’s not like Hannibal Lecter was a REAL cannibal. He only ate PARTS of people. It’s not like he was eating ENTIRE people like a real cannibal does. Plus, a lot of those livers could have passed as animal livers. He wasn’t eating obvious people parts like faces. He was into the barely legal meat.

A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: β€œNovember 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

KINDLY OLD WITCH OF THE WOODS: Lemme just get that. (spits on some old moss and rubs it on him)

GEORGE: She spat in the cut.
SEINFELD: She rubbed her spit!

Saruman telling Gandalf, "Your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind."

Response post: "never forget when saruman literally told gandalf 'you've been smoking too much weed bro'"

Counter-response: "You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit

We keep yelling about the male loneliness crisis and focusing on everything except the harms the system itself is causing. If teen boys don't get mirrors for masculinity, and other kids don't get windows and sliding glass doors, then we're doing kids of all gender identities a major disservice.

Milky Way to the left and red glow to the right above mountains with just a little snow on them in a very starry sky. I didn't use a star tracker and this was a 30 second exposure so some star trailing is visible.

So when the aurora borealis is faint enough, you can capture its glow with the Milky Way 😍
