unidentified marine organism tragically entombed in a costco croissant

photo of a costco croissant with a small protrusion of dough that resembles a flipper, giving the pastry a porpoise-like appearance. fret not, however! this is most definitely a croissant and not an endangered species, and so its only "porpoise" is to be buttery and delicious

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

ITS FINE - dashare.zone ADMIN

ITS FINE TO LAUGH AT SOMEONE WHO THINK'S A MARKOV CHAT BOT IS SUPER INTELLIGENT, ITS OK TO MAKE FUN OF THE TENDENCY TO OFF LOAD ANY CRITICAL THINKING ONTO AN APP THAT IS GENERATING TEXT WITH NO INHERENT MEANING, ITS ACCEPTABLE TO FIND IT HUMOROUS THAT AN ENTIRE SEGMENT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT A SET OF D&D DICE REPLACES A SEARCH ENGINE, ITS ONE OF THE NICEST WAYS TO HANDLE THE SITUATION, THE WORLDS RICHEST PEOPLE DEVISED A WAY TO FORCE EVERY SKILLED WORKER OUT OF EMPLOYMENT AND TURN ALL ART INTO UNIFORM SLOP AND IF WE CAN LAUGH AT THEIR COLLABORATORS AT LEAST WE GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE DEAL - DA TEXT SAYS "ITS OK TO MAKE FUN OF AI USERS, THERE NOT ABLE TO READ WHAT YOU TYPED ANYWAY" - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA was a new type of personal project for me that I'm still very fond of. You can read it for free in this thread:
bsky.app/profile/oliv...

or pick up the PDF here:
oliveoilcorp.itch.io/ballad-for-b...

Page 1 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.
A Black woman stands in the middle of towering trees with large holes in their trunks. She wears a sheer slip dress and looks up at the orange sky.

Caption: THE SKY HAS A CRACK IN IT.

Page 2 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.

Following the woman's line of sight, we're looking up at an angry-looking sky that almost looks split down the middle. The shot is framed by a pair of damaged trees.

CAPTION:
"A big gaping wound right there, in the middle."

In the next panel, thick droplets of moisture run down a harsh cloudy-looking texture.

CAPTION: "It leaks."

$Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. Panel 1: Sweat drips down the woman's face as she exerts herself. Panel 2: The woman is small against the backdrop of the fracturing sky as she climbs the steep cliffside. Panel 3: The woman has climbed to the top. She holds on for dear life at the edge of the cliff, trying to address a person standing there in front of her. The person shares the same exact shape as the woman, but their features are obscured by the same swampy textures that can be seen inside the crack of the sky. They are You. Caption: "I came to tell You about the crack." Panel 4: You turns their head up to gaze at the cracked sky. Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.

"Me and Mine built a roof"

Me holds a mallet and looks on as Mine and Our neighbors work to build a shelter from the timber.

"to shelter from the Water."
