We're big on hugs and small talk but we have poor self preservation skills anyway yes I'd love to see your wine cellar.

Shout out to the hyperverbal extrovert autistic folks like me who will talk to anyone. Literally a shout out ok I'm shouting.

Red Cabbage

What a great word!

Literally there's even a, "I'll be your bridge over deep water" lyric in this song.

I used to be impressed by Paul Simon I should have known it was actually Black men I was hearing.

I read somewhere that Paul Simon was inspired by The Swan Silvertones, so I've started listening to them and holy cow he wasn't kidding. More like he just put new words on all their songs and everything he ever made copied this sound. These guys are amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4hd...

This morning I saw someone spell George Orwell as “Jorjor Wel” and then someone replied that their favorite Star Wars character was George Orbinks and I have been laughing about it ALL DAY.

Oh, how I wish all food was kibbled. Kibbles for autistic folks. If everything to eat was as friendly, tidy, and trustworthy as an M&M, my food troubles would cease. Honest to god I would eat a chicken M&M if it could be guaranteed.

It's salad deficit, is what it is. Your brain cannot salad. You have an inability to casserole.

Something about taking various ingredients and... varying them verklempts you the fuck up.

Food when you have autism is so hard.

Why do I feel sick? Gosh I don't know. Maybe eating nothing but cheddar popcorn for three days has played a part.

Oh I think you were joking? In which case nevermind. Sorry I killed it lol.

It's short for Old English Lencten. Springtime.

Stumbled across this one today. Something nice to balance out all the horrors.

God I love space. The more you read the more you realize there is no hell you could come up with that even comes close. And it's indifferent, you know? Hell at least cares about you.

This is neat information because it means black holes can escape from galaxies, and a) that's fucking terrifying but also b) if you were in the wake of this monster, you'd see absolutely nothing in your own sky and wouldn't even know it was there, which is also great!

This is the trail of stars originally spotted by Hubble. It's actually a tunnel of stars in the compressed wake of a supermassive black hole :

There's a runaway supermassive black hole moving at 2 million miles per hour through space, compressing interstellar medium as it goes and leaving a trail of stars in its wake, and for a while it's been a bit theoretical, but the James Webb Telescope recently confirmed it.

I wasn't. Just adding to the list of things inspired by The Tempest.

Here's a very beautiful and absurd Mark Rylance if that helps. Omg I love this movie I forgot so much of it.

Prospero's Books is a 1991 British avant-garde film adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tempest, written and directed by Peter Greenaway. Sir John Gielgud plays Prospero, the protagonist who provi... Prospero's Books - John Gielgud - Mark Rylance - Michael Clark - Subtitles - 1991 - Restored 4K

Just out of curiosity I looked to see if Prospero's Books was online anywhere, and it is! If you like odd adaptations like Julie Taymor's Titus or Derek Jarman's Edward II, you might like this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgBT...

The Tempest is my baby, largely thanks to having seen Prospero's Books when I was a teenager. Macbeth probably second.

LOL real

Digital painting of a sunset sky: a pink and orange veil is covering most of it, with a couple of rows of long, thin, purple clouds in the lower quarter of the frame.

We report at the end of a strange, warm, sunny day. We spent it attempting to reconcile our idea of an early March day with the lukewarm wind we felt on our face. As the sun is setting, the crisp humidity is swallowing half of the thermometer in one fell swoop.

I say this with all the asexuality of the universe behind me, but that is such a heap of pretty boobies ahaha. The conflicting horror and beauty here is so so good 💛

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

I don't know who Mikhail is. I would kiss that one though.
