Charming artwork ft hens & rooster in the snow & some cozy ass babushki inside their cabins peeking

Snowy night scene featuring a chill lil crescent moon & a cozy bunny with a samovar & possibly sinister fox with a basket

Cozy crow girlie doing her thing at the hearth ft. mushrooms on a string and mouse with the assist

Misc animal friends & associates around a table eating a chill cozy stew with beaks & spoons

it’s once again the time of year in which i soothe my cortisol levels into a cozy nostalgic stupor with USSR children’s book art (these are all by Yuri Vasnetsov)

Jadzia!! omigosh you’re the sweetest! looking forward to for sure hanging more & talking about tunes in 2026 💖💖💖

this is a super specific scenario, but my family are jews from the soviet union & we put up a new years’ tree (yolka)— feeling seen by the megacorp lol 😜

It's just two parallel realities: one for an executive class so enraptured by the promise of labor savings that creative departments are pushed into creating AI slop, and one for everyone else, who view the slop with their own eyes and are repulsed by the rank aesthetics of automation

🫠 i'm not usually a sub-skeeter, but just could not bring myself to link to it, lol. reading it truly turned me into the blinking guy reaction gif

i have this one! (not the most Aesthetically Pleasing idea to put it on a water bottle, but i don’t have a vehicle lol)

loll same, had to set my device back down! ughh yes the “curation” will always prob be a version of ppl featuring pals/lovers/colleagues/former students, & i can’t be too mad bc sometimes my poet friends became my friends *because* i love their work, but sheesh, WHERE is the discernment sometimes!

heavy sigh at this existing alongside “asserted her autonomy”; also just noticed that the person who wrote this is an ethics teacher……….. fascinating
