Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.
This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

I've worked in five different preschools in three countries, and only once was there another man

Thinking men can't be trusted around young children or that men showing an interest in caring for young children is suspicious is quite literally why fathers make mothers do the vast majority of parenting. It is straightforwardly misogynistic.

This was drawn a few years ago but might as well be apt for how I'm feeling this #YearOfTheHorse. Riding #PudgyHorse onto a pyre of my sketchbooks and materials. 🙃

i actually just re-read this one i liked it so much. if you ever wished the keanu reeves Constantine movie was set in rural france on the eve of the revolution--
I just finished The Red Winter by Cameron Sullivan, which was a lot of fun!
A monster thought banished has returned to wreak havoc in 18thC France, and one immortal long-suffering sorcerer/professor, posessed by a snarky demon, is bound to help.
Dark, queer, lusty, and astonishingly a debut!

Some of the other comments have said this as well, but I think somehow high collar but plunging at the same time. Or high collar but backless.
