"... Walt--" he adjusts his glasses again. "Walter. Mr Mayer said--... you know I don't think he thought I was any good." "Walter's a bigger jackass than I am." Joe shoots back. "but maybe he's not. I go to a lot of interviews. And I've got no work at all. Maybe this isn't my bag." "Awh kid you have to be PATIENT." Joe tries to reasure him with a sympathetic furrow to the brow. "You weren't working at 20?" "No. Well not really, not a lot." "But you did." "Just a little, here and there." Then Joe gets a little more serious in his tone. Mostly for fetish magazines." Wylie's face flusters and he oh-uhms, but Joe just continues. "Women in rubber, captive men. That kind of thing. That's what I sold. Might as well, I was already drawing it FOR FREE. that's just what I like."

"But I think you already know that." Joe says simply, without much else. But after a moment of silence, it dawns on Wylie. Oh shit, fuck he KNEW. Well, time to swig that Tom what-was-it-called, before the words just vomited out of him. "Oh Jesus, oh God. Joe, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I took it. I tore it up." Joe looks concerned and starts to say his name but Wylie keeps going. "I didn't want you to-- your WIFE was going to see-- she walked in and I-- I just put it in my pocket. I'm an idiot. I'm SORRY." "WYLIE, she knows. She knows all about it." Joe pushes to talk so Wylie can catch his breath. He doesn't even seem to care. "Kid she's the one who DREW IT. Roya draws ALL OF IT. The rubber art, Li'l Savage Strips, EVERYTHING. I haven't drawn a line in years." "And I'm not his wife." comes a comment from the other room.

Roya comes into the room, closing the door behind her. She looks cool as a cucumber and has her eyes on Joe. "Joeseph, you should correct him when he's wrong." "Yes, Roya." Joe replies with admiration that would have fooled anyone. Wylie looks pink as a tulip as he hunches over a little in embarassment. She continues. "Joeseph isn't my husband. We never married. He lives with me in my house. And he takes credit for my work." It's a different kind of married but both of the boys would let her own it. "He does this with my permission. This has made my success easier than it might be. Does that make sense to you?" She's trying to look into his eyes but he's too nervous. "I... sometimes I don't tell people I'm jewish. Sorta jewish. Through my dad." "Yes, good." she folds her arms. "It's very much like that. People like people who are the most like them. It makes them more comfortable." Joe hands her a glass of Tom with a peaceful look on his face. "So I wonder... Are you like Joseph?" Her eye cannot be escaped this time.

He's in trouble, but not the bad kind 😏

The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings and sweeping narratives rather than careful empirical assessments.

Been using this blocklist for awhile now and it's wonderful. A return to a better internet. Highly recommended.

The cover of the graphic novel, a colored illustration by Daun Han depicting King in the foreground, Luz and Harpy Eda behind him, and the other cast of characters framing them including Willow, Hunter, Gus, Papa Titan, the Collector, and Amity.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!

If there's one thing wrestling fans really really love it's being told not to chant something. Works out every single time. See also: a decade of WWE fans chanting for CM Punk.

My photo shows a ‘roaring’ hippo statuette made of Egyptian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. The hippo is seated with head at left, and turned to front. The hippo’s original tusks (top incisors and lower canine teeth are known as tusks), are missing, so it looks as if the hippo is smiling. The blue body is decorated in black with Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts the hippo’s marsh habitat as well as having layers of symbolism associated with regeneration e.g. lotus flowers open with the sun in the morning and close at night symbolising rebirth. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. On display Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen.

Photograph of three illustrated lanyards. From closest to furthest away: Bird lanyard with cute, round backyard birds in a backyard with flowers, a fountain, bushes, a tree, and a rainbow. Otter and seal lanyard with cute brown sea otters and grey seals swimming among yellow and orange kelp against a blue background. There is also orange and yellow fish swimming through. Frog lanyard that shows different kinds of pet frogs in different biomes- red eyed tree frog, tomato frog, bull frog and white's tree frog. This lanyard is predominantly green and brown.

My new lanyards just came in! We will be debuting them at Katsucon this weekend.

Really pleased at how they printed! They look so cute and vibrant.

Poster to fight against ai. Visualized is a cave painting inspired horse, with text that reads "art has always been accessible"

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.

feels like i should re-post this every few weeks

You know the drill, cuties. Block em, tell your friends to block em, and most importantly (as is the bluesky way), don't dogpile - just cut them off and let them suffocate to death alone in silence.

help me celebrate and get some food tonight please paypal.me/psiidmon since i need to take a half day for my psych session anyway

Hi, I am Delaney King and I am pretty good at identifying fantasy, science fiction and horror metal miniatures. I also find it fun. So if you have a mystery miniature you would like identified @ me and I will see what I can do.

A photo of a ceramic velociraptor dinosaur. The dinosaur is glazed brown with blue accents and has yellow unglazed feet, hands, and face.

A curious little velociraptor sculpture is ready for this next update! It’ll be available Friday, February 20th at 8pm Eastern time.

If the government can take away your voting rights for a felony conviction, and they also decide what constitutes a felony, and they also decide who’s charged with the felony, and they also decide who’s prosecuted for the felony, you don’t have a right to vote.

The bad news is my kid threw up again yesterday and has been severely nauseated since then, and I continue to fret about the ongoing damage that stomach acid is doing to their teeth.

We have to pay to repair some of that damage now and it's not cheap.

Can you throw a few dollars our way?

more job openings at one of the best places to work for!

Very sad news. For years preventive standard for colorectal cancer has been first screenings starting at age 50. We’re seeing it more and more in people in their 40s, 30s, and even 20s. The American Cancer Society recently dropped their recommendation to 45. Be aware of potential signs and symptoms:

Not with that attitude.

If you can re-post this as well it would really help, because we need to cover costs still! D: 🔥
