Pietà Michelangelo, 1498-1499
Here are the cards I did for the main boys! It was so much fun to try and show their personality through the poses and the mood of the artwork.
“AI” is going to fail because even the most outrageous predictions of its impact are simply different ways to make it so people don’t have to go on the computer. and people love going on the computer
I swear, every educator I meet I become friends with. Even our patrons. There are several teachers that borrow books from us for their students and they get excited to see me at the front desk lol
losing my shit at tom clancy's daughter immediately setting this to her banner after seeing it
Just SUPER grateful we have a branch manager that is actually wary and distrustful of cops instead of the more stereotypical librarian that leans heavily on them to police patrons. I guess working libraries in impoverished locations for 20+ years does that to you.
The true definition of Blueskyism is "I need traffic from Bluesky."
I hung my laundry on the drying rack in the living room and it's the worst thing that has ever happened to him in his life
going to be pretty funny if gavin newsom becomes president because it really proves that monopolizing everyones constant attention is all that really matters in elections
She completely shut down that conversation. Why tf would anyone who is experiencing homelessness show up to a resource fair if there were a bunch a cops there? They would actually deter people from what we’re trying to do.
God I love my boss. We had a meeting to further plan our neighborhood resource event at the library and someone wanted the cops to be there. My boss said very politely “what exactly are the cops contributing to this?”
An ICE watch zine (Chicago edition) being handed out today.
New It Could Happen Here Mia talks with Unraveled journalist Raven about the impending deployment of the National Guard, ICE and the Border Patrol to Chicago and how the city is preparing to resist. @miawong.bsky.social @unraveledpress.com www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...
ICE is turning around now, escorted by Broadview police. Crowd is jubilant. Someone is shouting, "this is what it takes! They are turning around!"
Being alive right now is like a constant game of mad libs. Everything is just words and concepts thrown together in new, stupid ways and I'm tired of it
"Protesters are expected to absorb violence but never inflict it—to function as shock absorbers to be acted upon, whose sympathetic value is nullified by any deviation from that standard. This expectation briefly wavered during the...George Floyd protests,...but largely restabilized over time." 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
yeah, sorry, I — no, yeah, it’s me, there’s one of those robots walking by my desk. he’s… yeah, it’s pretty loud. well, he’s trying to walk someone to the bathroom but the guy crapped his pants halfway there. yeah, he’s still by me. it’s really slow. sure. yeah. I’ll mute.
Really good read Still a reality of animation, no matter if show is successful or not it rarely changes working conditions for artists.
He loves art
Israel National News weighs in on the Gretchen Felker-Martin controversy, which seems like a great use of everyone's time.
This episode was such a hard hitting one. We take for granted our access to books, especially old books, but the fact that these books had to survive wars, fires, natural disasters, and book purges, it is nothing less than a miracle we still have some of these texts
Modern conservatism is literally baby philosophy. I get what I want and I don't care what the costs are. There's no reason to take them seriously any more than you would debate an infant
Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up
Only one day left until the discover feed becomes clogged with horny fanart of the grossest little bug guy from Silksong
Crow T. Robot said trans rights
Quiet moment from the first part of Those That Inherit the Earth. Some pages barely had much to change for color, this being one of them
Something to be analyzed, for a certainty, in the relationship between very clearly dysmorphic public figures who have made obsessive use of plastic surgery, hormone supplements, etc, and the seemingly mindless violence these same people direct toward the transgender community
i love that they had to have him standing sideways to prevent everyone from finding out how he’s one of the craziest looking guys ever
Very proud to announce the digital publication of Hidden Voices: Muslim Americans in US History Volume 1! Hidden Voices books are the product of collaborative efforts of the NYCDOE, multiple educational and cultural institutions, & leading scholars. Download: www.weteachnyc.org/resources/re...
remember, it’s important to shift into an entirely gay guy economy
Not to mention the public libraries.

IMPORTANT PSA: If you find kittens all alone, keep tbis helpful flowchart in mind. And also: —neonatal kitten need to be on a heat source & kept warm at all times, they cannot regulate their body temperature and you can kill them by feeding a cold kitten. —NEVER feed a bottle baby kitten COW’S MILK!

BRO. THAT’S THE BOOK. THAT’S LITERALLY THE BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK.
this is the first time a major Democratic elected has actually told his supporters what they can do in the face of this as far as I can tell
Well that’s fucking gross
oh several times a day
Truly perfect evidence that bluesky wishcasting has done more to infuriate the Trump admin than anything Newsom has done or said in the past month.
How are you 40 minutes late to a meeting in your own house?
The later he is to this announcement, the better this gets lmao
Being an American is such a wild experience
I do love that everyone will be tuning in to this Space Command announcement and no one gives a fuck about Space Command they literally just want to see if the guy is dead or not
I wonder if there is a word for if the president moved the government and military to states that voted for him, and then deploys troops to states that didn't.
my fellow artists, if you ever feel like a failure, just remember the clowns who tried to sneak in gen AI images at Dragoncon
I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS LIL GAY SOUTHERN DETECTIVE!!!
The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.
Mystery tummy troubles are the fucking worst. Is it food poisoning, pms, or a virus? We just don’t know!!
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

we did some tussling this morning and now he's absolutely zonked out
But the worst was Majora’s Mask. I never finished it bc my anxiety was so high trying to get through basic quests
The first time I played The Last of Us, my blood pressure was through the ROOF
i blame the NCIS industrial complex for people thinking you can enhance an image by feeding it to a computer and saying "computer, enhance"
I always forget how much work that shitty bronzer does to make him look not dead
Sunshine boy
This doesn't sound like that man AT ALL. Someone is writing his posts.
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
I wish every person had as competent and forward-thinking a leader in their states as I do.
I guess when all the normal fans realized that JK sucks and decided to move on, that left the most fascist fans who LOVE the idea of an all-white, heteronormative world. Read the comments at your own risk.
HBO keeps announcing casting for the new HP series and when they enable comments on their posts, it’s guaranteed the worst people on the internet spouting the most racist shit.
happy labor day
...Well. This thread was... educational. (And yeah, a cartoonist with multiple mansions used to be a thing, in the heyday of newspaper cartooning. It wasn't even unique.)
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
bases are loaded. we got a triple on deck
my sickness is that i'm addicted to looking at the instagram account for UK's House & Garden Magazine and imagining myself living in such spaces IG houseandgardenuk
Quit, quit, quit, quit
no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that
A redraw of one of my favorite behind-the-scenes pictures ever 👏 Godzilla can pick up chicks like no other.
The JJK season 3 trailer came out and I don’t see enough Maki hype
Anyway what’s everyone having for dinner tonight
Yessssss
Getting food poisoning and having to run through the entire set of Nickelodeons Guts and solve a Scooby Doo mystery with a living talking dog before you can use a toilet
My babies sleep beside me every night and Biscuit likes to literally hold on to me with one paw sometimes lol they love me so much and I love them
If I hear one more straight man say that cats can’t love and are evil, I’m going to crash out
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
New personal sexual orientation unlocked
Fred Hampton on the importance of revolutionary education
Reading about expanding threats to interlibrary loan (bc of Trump's IMLS cuts, tariffs, etc.) means I need to re-up this:
American linguistics is so fascinating!!!
