One final share for #InverteFest, and it's one of my favourites - a funky blue weevil (Eupholus schoenherri). I drew all those dots individually.

What machines reproducing what work? A lot of the global popularity of Art Nouveau is because of new tech in printing, it was in major art magazines and poster advertisements. You could be thinking of the Arts and Crafts movement?

Also the visual weight feels so off now! Why is there SO much space at the bottom?? And the left side feels emptier without the man and barrel, since "Barrel" is shifted to the right

Look, I don't hate minimalism! It can be done exceptionally well and it doesn't necessarily mean lack of charm or character. But these companies are doing the equivalent of painting their house gray for broad appeal and it sucks!!!

It's also crazy that the US has faced so little international hardship or tragedy that 9/11 is such a big deal. Like we don't fund the equivalent (or worse) in other countries on a regular basis. Americans are so insulated, we're babies

Was it inconvenient? Definitely! But I'd take it over the constant urgency and productivity over everything of American culture.

Spent a summer in France and was amazed by this. Every restaurant has plentiful outdoor seating. It's so community oriented, you're supposed to socialize and engage. Shops are open for way fewer hours, and people get to go home for lunch. I miss it terribly.

The question "so then what?" should be then followed with a concrete plan of attack. I would hope the release of the Epstein files would, at the bare minimum, result in mass protest directed at anyone named. But I can't actually say on here what I think should happen

Probably 90% of arguments I've gotten into on here are over this. I just can't see such blatant denial of reality, in which tens of thousands are being murdered, and leave it be. It's so vile

i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed

I hate the nitpicking over terminology people do over this. Okay, if it's not a genocide then are you fine with mass slaughter? Ethnic cleansing? Striking aid groups and refugee tents? Like what is the line then??

Feels like I'm going crazy seeing liberals turn heel on Gaza as though they weren't literally plugging their ears to block out protestors when Biden was the one sending weapons. Begging democrats to have a moral backbone
Kt π (@dingowrangler.bsky.social) reply parent
If you cannot critique your own party, especially when they facilitate an ethnic cleaning campaign, you are as blind as MAGA lemmings.
Kt π (@dingowrangler.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh give me a break. You either believe the actions of Israel in Gaza are inhumane or you don't. I'm sorry your team leader was sending billions to facilitate a genocide. Trump being in office now doesn't change that. Atrocities are atrocities regardless of who commits them.
Kt π (@dingowrangler.bsky.social) reply parent
Tell me, under what party leadership did the ethnic cleansing in Gaza begin?
Kt π (@dingowrangler.bsky.social) reply parent
If the democrats are complicit in the continued destruction of Gaza, they are also to blame. I've seen virtually no movement within the party in favor of the Palestinian cause.

I feel like we've been sliding towards this for years, this hyper-convenience capitalism. The gig economy is the prime example, allowing people to put the burden of errands onto gig workers for low pay. Everyone can feel like they're an aristocrat, even as they lose their healthcare

For some, I think, there is not really a sense of protecting children, but of protecting their children because they are *theirs*. Rooted in, I imagine, not viewing children as individuals but as extensions of the parent.

Also there's absolutely no excuse for them to be looking for these kids when they're away from their parents. It makes me feel that they were basically going to use them as bait, to get the parents to show up and cooperate.

This guy rocks. Beyond protecting them, it's important for kids to see that authority can be maliciousand not to just roll over when they're being taken advantage of.

Instead? Wishy-washy at best response to his victory in the primary, reinforcing false claims of antisemitism, or just ignoring the movement in New York to continue business as usual. The party is in shambles, and this could be a guiding light, but they're too scared of socialism and Muslims.
Kt π (@dingowrangler.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel like you're really missing the forest for the trees. Mamdani started the race as a nobody, and built enough support from the ground up to surpass and beat a well-known democratic former mayor with powerful connections and funding. Democrats should be studying and replicating this
Kt π (@dingowrangler.bsky.social) reply parent
Jeffries didn't exactly defend him, he gave credence to the antisemitism claims. Several democrat representatives from Florida did too, not to mention the New York Times running stories on his college application. It's not a witch hunt, but they're certainly not embracing his popularity

It is not my job to whitewash the Dem's horrific actions. It's theirs to fix them. If genocide isn't too far, what is?
