Ghost in the Shell (1989–1990): A detailed side-profile illustration of a young woman with short black hair and intense red-brown eyes, her face and neck overlaid with glowing white circuit board patterns resembling electronic circuitry. A complex mechanical headpiece with robotic arms, wires, cables including a green and blue one, and a small rectangular device labeled with Japanese text and the date 1989.5.25 is attached to the top of her head. The background consists of intricate dark green circuit board designs with geometric patterns. The artwork is signed by Masamune Shirow.

From Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga: tree panels of Motoko Kusanagi diving backwards off of a building and fading out of sight through optic camo.

The GitS manga's first depiction of optic camouflage looks really pretty in color.

That panel burned itself into my brain chemistry

Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show Was Party as Protest And this protest is about Boricuas taking back narrative control, and shifting that narrative to one of love.

My comic ‘EVERYWHERE’ is about a girl who meets a boy in a tulip field 🌷

After losing one of my best friends to s*icide, it was a way of tackling that grief the best way I knew how & how I ultimately approach those who come and go in our lives.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."
