worst forest/trees problem in generations is that a canto is A SECTION OF A LONG POEM. THAT'S IT. YOU DIDN'T WRITE A CANTO BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THE WORD LOOKED COOL ON YOUR MEMOIR. CANTOS ARE POEMS. THAT LANGUAGE IS DYNAMIC DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SLAMBOOK A CANTO AMERICAN OR OTHERWISE

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

What flavor is your OC?

(Zefera sketch by @kiikiibee.bsky.social )
Sketch of a woman. She's got a sharp jaw and an aqualine-esque nose, on which are perched some large round glasses. Her hair is in wild curls in an updo. She's wearing a fedora with a tiny feather, and several layers of clothing - a thick sweater, a button up. She also has a duster coat on that is far too large for her. Painting of a burning cigarette on a glass ash tray. A dirt path going through some trees and brush. It is lit by moonlight. Rolling and tossing waves.

What flavor is your OC?

(Nellie art by @kiikiibee.bsky.social )
A woman with very pale skin spattered with freckles. Her face is very round. She's got green eyes, and wildly curly hair up into two buns on either side of her head. She's smiling, and has a gap in her two front teeth. She's wearing many accessories and an ugly dress. A field of green new wheat. A person making cotton candy in a cotton candy machine. The cotton candy is pink. There are candied apples in the background. Rocks - some with moss, some without.

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.
Black and white comic with stick figures Panel 1: Three stick figures that can only be told apart by their hair. Megan (short dark hair) walks in walks in from the left, looking down at her phone, Cueball (no hair) and Ponytail (light-haired ponytail) are standing next to each other. Megan: Wow - according to the internet, we don't know the true name of the bear. Cueball: What? Panel 2: Gretchen McCulloch, drawn as a stick figure with short, dark, curly hair, comes on-panel from the right. Megan: Apparently there was a superstition that saying its name would summon it. "Bear" and "bruin" mean "the brown one." Its actual name has been lost. Cueball: Wow. Ponytail: Gretchen, is this for real? Panel 3: Zoom-in on Gretchen. Gretchen: Well, sort of Gretchen: The Proto-Indo-European root was *rkto- Gretchen: It was lost in the Germanic languages like English, but survived elsewhere, e.g. Greek "arktos" and Latin "ursus" Panel 4: Back to the second panel, with Megan holding her phone down, Ponytail with her hands in the air, and Gretchen with her hand on her chin. Megan: So could we figure out what the word would have been in English? Gretchen: Hmm. I mean, we'll never know, but given Germanic sound shifts, a reasonable guess might be "arth"? Ponytail: No!! Panel 5: The panel zooms in again to Gretchen. Ponytail (off-panel): Stop! AAAAA! Gretchen: What?? Ponytail (off-panel): Don't say it! Panel 6: Ponytail is holding her palms out. Megan is no longer in the panel. Ponytail: What have you done? Off-panel noise: ROAR (with a wavy speech balloon around it) Gretchen: Oh Gretchen: Oh no

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome:

- Right-click
- Unpin

Gone!

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

I know several of my friends and colleagues use Scrivener for their writing projects so heads up! 👇🏾

come over.
We Have Enough Dead Friends by LENA OLEANDERSON Come over. The doors are open, my flat's a mess and so is my heart but the doors are always open. Come over. I will make soup, probably from frozen but the important thing is we will both eat. You don't have to be dying, but if you are, or you feel like you are, or if living's been hard, call me, and I will show up. It doesn't have to be that bad, it doesn't have to be bad at all, but if it is, please call. Do you want me to do the groceries? Do you want me to mop the floors? Do you need to be held; you don't have to be dying to be held. If you want me to be there, I want to. I'm on the bathroom floor again, and breathing is hard, and eating's been hard, and sleeping, the world is a laden thing rolling around on my chest lately. Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends. Come over.

If AI was so profitable all these hobbled together “companies” wouldn’t be hitting up my inbox incessantly, as they are with so many, to try to get me to hock their slop to you. They are desperate to try to get anyone they view as an influencer to sell their stuff, it is the same as any other scam
