Does something like an archive of misc ephemera exist? Like just a collection of various papers and other items from between 1970-2010?

If you enjoy Bloodborne you really owe it to yourself to read EM Carroll's WRITHE (it's free) emcarroll.itch.io/writhe

It sucks so bad that schools have to beg for resources in the richest country in the history of the world, but it is where we’re at.

2025 limited color fantasy pet portrait Two tuxedo cats toil away in a tavern. One cleans dishes behind the bar while another consults his notes and balances beers on a tray. The patrons have left playing cards, empty plates and glasses, and other objects around the rear of the bar, gathering in the front in drunken merriment.

2025 full color commission in a dense forest, a goblin hides behind a rock and summons with the aid of a spellbook 3 spectral birds. On the horizon, a giant white elk turns its gaze towards their hiding spot.

2025 limited color group commission Inside a smokey dining room aboard a river boat pirate ship, a group of adventurers blow off steam. From left to right, an anxious squirrel has drunken to excess, a spirited otter teases them and toasts. A paternalistic skunk with a metal arm scolds them, while a delirious herbalist rabbit offers a solution, and the groups tinkerer, a sparrow, sits with an impulse of a food fight within reach.

025 limited tone fantasy family portrait Two adventurers (and their cats) press forth in a water logged dungeon in orange and green. One holds a bow, with a cat toy tied to an arrow to direct the more playful of their two pets. The other adventurer holds his lazier cat aloft on a shifting scale.

Sinners is one of the best films I've ever seen. I came out of it stunned at Ryan Coogler's ability to conduct such a symphony of people, images, and ideas.

A comic of two cut-in panels over a larger third panel. First panel two women, one driving the other in the passenger seat. The passenger says "uh, babe we got company!" Driver says "oh what the hell? Is that" second panel is a man in the back seat. He says "yeah. I think thats holiday road..." Third panel is a wrecked station wagon careening down a road. The man in the back's dialogue continues: "or whatever's left of it." In the station wagon is a family. Two kids hanging out of the back. Dad driving, and mom hanging on the front of the car. Theyre all singing "my baby takes the morning train"

A cartoon man in a hacket and hoodie looking at a wall of canvases. He says "I ain't moving canvases... Nope."

A cartoon woman looking at someone. She says, "Dammit, Ira."

A concerned-looking cartoon woman. She asks, "babe...did we start the apocalypse?"

Made a test page with updated character designs for a project

A large, portly man with horns looks behind them as if caught. Their right hand is red with a smoking gun, while the left hand is clutching green money. Whole figure cast in shadow

A paper crown with a red X over it. Above that is two 100 dollar bills positioned like marionette handles. Between them is the text "No kings, no puppets" laid out to look like marionette strings leading to the crown

"Let me be clear: It fucking matters. Truth matters. Documentation matters. Fighting corruption matters. That accountability seems out of reach right now doesn’t change that."

heck yes molly

Im sure im terrible at it, but writing lyrics is such a fun exercise to do.

I just wish i knew of a way I, someone with no music production experience, could use them for something.

Those of us not in LA: donate to bail funds. Support their actions openly and refuse to get into debates about what’s “okay” in response to horrific state violence.

I saved so many screenshots of corvids painting because of reasons.

There's a straight line from the normalization of harassing queer people online as a right-wing sport, to politicians replatforming violently queerphobic agendas, to the emboldening of those very right-wingers in moving their stochastic violence from radicalization chambers to offline.

A reason I get so angry when people diminish stochastic terrorism's role in shaping our society is because when things like the campaign of terrorism & subsequent hate killing of Jonathan Joss happen we all instinctively acknowledge that it may not have were the perpetrators not emboldened.

Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.

We have always been here.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.
