One of my Latin students today called “vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus” the “‘Carthago delenda est’ of the subjunctive” and I think that’s wonderful.

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

Troop 6000

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️

I ask you to send me the original document rather than a Youtube reactor for the same reason I ask you not to send me a chewed sandwich.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Sure, I guess we'll never know how the founders would have felt about LGBTQ rights or double jeopardy or whatever but you know what we do know? How they felt about a tyrannical government's roving militias gunning down people in broad daylight.

🏺🌲🪔 Io Saturnalia!🪔🌲🏺

#OTD from Dec 17-23, Romans celebrated the god Saturn by feasting, exchanging gifts, lighting lamps, and switching up the normal societal class structures 🪔🌲🥧

This illustration is from my series depicting Saturnalia in Hadrians Wall country (more below)🏛️🌲

So I've got ~$500 worth of bills due by the 17th, which is nearly all of the paycheck I'm getting this week and will leave me with basically nothing left over until the week of Christmas. I know I keep reposting this and being a pain, but I really really could use any work I can get.

A special weapon design for @solviss.bsky.social's new D&D character. The mother of pearl was definitely a challenge but I enjoyed figuring out the slats' patterns.

I cleaned up and rendered an old sketch of my blood hunter Z since I'm going to get to use him in a campaign again soon! I've missed this neurotic weirdo.

Saw a video where a travel influencer missed half the Christmas markets in Cologne because they relied on ChatGPT to tell them the opening dates and you know what, sometimes I let my very German schadenfreude run free.

idk why it feels like a lukewarm to hot take to want to tell your friends regularly that you love them????

My lifehack for undergrads is that if you're using ChatGPT to do all your schoolwork you can save tens of thousands of dollars by simply not going to university since you don't seem to actually give a shit about learning the material at all.
