Tonight on the Sarah-works-on-her-book twitch stream, I started with the intention of doodling lightning bugs as showgirls with big burlesque feather fans, but it looked more like a cheerleader so we ran with it.
These lightning bugs are cheering you on to leave your leaves this winter.

boy actually seeing the state of programmed TV with ads is kind of depressing. i usually avoid it in favor of ad-free streaming or video games, but that's what my parents watch.
History Channel has AI slop now, with ads for sovcit shit, BAERSKIN, and colloidal silver

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually found him seated on the Golden Throne of Holy Terra. There, his body writhes, sustained by eldritch technologies and the lives of the thousand souls fed to him every day, so that he may never truly die.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually became a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, eventually found himself on a planet called Third Earth, where he had a long-running quarrel with a group of anthropomorphic cats

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but opened one of his six mouths, and sang the song that ended the Earth.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, stopped eating and migrated back to the Sargasso.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and next appears in the narrative as a Valkyrie, having joined the host of Odin’s chosen-daughters via some process obscured by a lacuna in the manuscript.

It's Zombo Week.
Welcome to Zombo Week.
Welcome to Zombo Week.
We are now entering the weird liminal space between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Anything could happen during this time. You could feel weirdly nostalgic, you could see a photo of a cat, you could remember to feed your Neopets. The possibilities are endless.

Crab yourself a merry little Crustmas!
#Crustmas
The Christmas Island crab, Gecarcoidea natalis, is known for its annual migrations, in which tens of millions of crabs move from the forest to the coast to mate.

I forget where I found this, but have this lovely music video by Euni Cho. "Welcome to O'Town" is an illustration of Hem's song "Tourniquet".
It's got a musician bunny and a band of kind Brooklynite bears

Wow, the K-State meat lab and wheat milling club sell beef and flour for under market price. I think I'll need to start buying groceries at the college this year.
