#SPN #firstwatch Season 15 eps 15x6-15x15. So on the plus side there were finally some episode that were well written, worked thematically & with good acting. On the other hand WTF is with the frankenstein mixup of plots & tropes. Chuck is canonically a bad writer, was he the muse for the season? 1/

Looks like someone is very excited that they got Jean-Michel Jarre’s “Music for Supermarkets” on vinyl!
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a smiling bright green oval-shaped frog wearing a small Santa hat, sitting upright, looking at the viewer front on, holding a square wrapped present. The frog is spotted in lighter and darker shades of green, and has large gold eyes with black horizontal pupils, open wide. The present is wrapped in red paper and gold ribbon, and looks like a vinyl record album. I made a joke that it is Jean-Michel Jarre’s “Musique pour supermarché” (Music for supermarkets), of which only one vinyl copy was pressed. It sold for a lot of money at auction, then the master plates were destroyed. It is unlikely Frog has received a copy of this album. This is probably Herb Alpert’s “Whipped Cream and Other Delights”.

QRP to reintroduce yourself!

I'm Torres, a freelance fantasy illustrator. I work mostly with graphite and digital color.
I love fairy tales and whimsical vibes in eerie and moody atmosphere 🪾🍂

I think the weirdest thing about Buddhist sanghas that are primarily western converts (even POC) is sanghas not happening because X-mas. Cultural Christianity is strong, I did enough enjoy my six "Advent" calendars but I never do the tree/presents although I have done outside decor for the spouse.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable.

every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

Bringing this one back because it’s my biggest #Supernatural drawing to date and I’m still proud of it. It didn’t win the contest I originally made it for but it was a massive achievement for me to finish this A2 artwork in 2 weeks. I hope in the future I will be able to start working faster again.

Anyone sprouting bullshit like this deserves no benefit of the doubt. Not surprising since Jonah is a right wing nepo baby who's mom was behind the illegal recording of Monica Lewinsinky by Linda Tripp & he wrote a book called Liberal Fascism.

🤡There's never been a time in US history where people expect you to apologize *for being white*. People expect you to apologize*for being pro-racism*.

Worldwide, fewer than half of all white people are pro-racism.♥️

In the US it takes an active disinfo campaign to keep the pro-racism group > 50%.

Happy Solstice! Not a fan of the dark, so always happy to reach the point where days start getting longer. Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, so here's a happy chickadee for today's #ArtAdventCalendar
Digital painting of black-capped chickadee perched on a branch that is covered in fanciful white daisy-like flowers against a brilliant blue sky. The bird is facing right and has gray wings, white belly and head with black feathers across the top of its head and under its chin.

More happy Holiday news. If a mistletoe took one of them out, what going to happen when they have archers, fire and pyre?

A member of the neo-Nazi white separatist group PNW Wolf Pack fell to his death trying to pick a mistletoe from a tree this holiday season 🎄❄
Telegram post from PNW Wolf Pack: Hailsa folk! Our kinsman fell to his death trying to get his wife a mistletoe out of a tree on Monday. We are trying to get his body home from California so we can give him a propper send off. The mortuary down there want 2500 and the transport wants over 4,000. We need him home so we can prepare his body in the traditional ways of our ancestors. This means washing his body, carving Mal Runes, cutting his nails, ensuring he has weapons and food for the hell road. We will also be preparing a water rite. Kiah will lead the archers in lighting the pyre as we set him off.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It's incredible to me how the mainstream press will be incredulous and skeptical when RFK Jr and other HHS officials push they're quackery around vaccines but suddenly become credulous when they go attack trans healthcare. Anti vax and anti trans beliefs are all the same quack pseudoscience.
