What I really enjoy about the #hazbinhotel definition of hell is that it's not just a place. A lot of Christian theology describes it as a state of being or a state of mind. My favorite quote from Dr. Faustus is when the demon Mephistopheles says, "Why this is hell, nor am I out of it."

Channelling the cuteness aggression I feel toward Lucifer through Alastor. #radioapple #hazbinhotel #lucifer #alastor
A screenshot of Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel looking adorable in his duck sweater. A drawing of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel clenching his fist and saying "I WANT THAT TWINK OBLITERATED!"

Was teaching digital citizenship last week and while I'm trying to give 6th graders a lesson on what you shouldn't share online, all of sudden they're telling me there are 4 different student-run Instagram accounts that doxx them on the regular, posting their pictures and phone numbers.

Trends show that an over dependence of technology leads to deskilling in a ton of areas, so while people who constantly rely on smart technology might be at a technological advantage, their cognitive abilities will be underutilized compared to their peers. #informationscience

Have to stay with my parents while my hip recovers from core depression surgery. They have dogs so my cat has to stay with my partner and I'm missing him terribly. It's real toxoplasmosis hours, folks. Only thing I can think about is my baby boy. :(

Not sure what's wrong with him.
Pic of my cat balancing in the crack between the couch and the ottoman. He's lying on his back and reaching out for the toy he brought up there. Same as the last pic but his legs are wider here and he's almost touching the toy. He also looks to have slipped further into the crack.

The Moon ☾ and the Star ☆

Matching tarot cards I made of my book 2 characters, Callan and Gerwyn!

Well... they're supposed to be matching, but a lot of time passed in between making them, and my art style seems to have evolved again. 😅
#art #oc #originalcharacter
A waist-up shot of Callan from the back. He's dressed in the navy and black uniform of the guild of Eternal Night. He's pinching a white flower between his fingers and looking over his shoulder with a smile. His black hair is shining with flashes of white under the moonlight. In the top left corner, the pale crescent moon hangs overhead, and the sky is blanketed in twinkling stars A waist-up shot of Gerwyn dressed in the white and gold uniform of the guild of Divinity. He's wielding a sword, holding it horizontally across his body as if parrying a blow. A red flower is bursting on the edge of his blade. The flower's center is a small star, and the petals surrounding it are exploding outward. Gerwyn has long brown hair tied up in a gold flowing ribbon. His eyes are icy blue and reflect more stars.

Told my cat I couldn't feed him immediately because I was finishing my MA hw and this little bastard did a purposeful run and slide from one room into the other, body slamming into the box fan and knocking it to the ground. I have never seen such a vindictive creature.

Begging and crying asking Google Fi to connect me with someone who can help but they just keep switching me to different people who talk me through the same troubleshooting steps that don't work and then tell me to call again in 72 hours.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

First, so-called experts have no license to countermand the "wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices." FCC v. Beach Communications, Inc., 508 U. S. 307, 313 (1993). Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children. Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts' view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves.

When you open Grindr in Narnia:
A selfie of a guy on horseback. He’s holding the camera/phone over his head so that he’s smiling up at it, and the horse’s rump is visible just behind his shoulder, appearing as though he’s a centaur in Oakley sunglasses.
