Hot-water bottle are pretty amazing, it's a cheap way to keep you warm in winter. I put mine in my bed before going to sleep to warm it up and it's still lukewarm until the morning.

one must imagine sisyphus

a three panel sketch of the character sinkdog (originally by daleport996) laying on a cluttered, filthy counter. she's surrounded by dirty dishes, and her basin is full of dishes and dirty dishwater, which trickles out as she sits up on her elbows, looking exhausted. in the next panel she is throwing a dish and leaning forward, causing her contents to come crashing out of her onto the floor. in the third panel she's standing, tethered to the counter by a drainpipe, looking at the shattered mess of dirty dishes and dishwater spattered on the floor. the remnants of her basin pour down her legs.

the sink in a disabled household is a constant source of stress and yuckiness and i wanted to make some sinkdog fanart with that bit of pain in it. we don't usually see her all gross and dirty and miserable.

someone on tumblr talked about how sinkdog is kinda cathartic because you scoop all the yucky parts out of the girl to make her into an object of cleanliness (and how it's ironic because she's kink art) and it had me thinking about how sinks are also yucky. feeling like even if you scrape yourself hollow, girlhood can still feel dirty. inescapable. plus the torment that you'll never be really done doing dishes because more dirty dishes are produced daily haha

Merry Christmas.Today I'm making an urgent appeal for my kids. They have no shelter; the rain and wind have torn down our tent. I'm pleading with you for $150 before it's too late. They are freezing and getting sick.

Take small steps towards however you want to be perceived. If it makes you happier, keep going!✨
Also be yourself, and don't worry about what others might think. Anyone who would discredit your happiness aren't worth your time or energy.

If you have any advise, PLEASE share!🏳️‍⚧️

There’s nothing material I really need or want that bad right now but my bank has been overdrafted for a few weeks and I’ve been having a hard time paying it off. If anyone is willing to help I would appreciate it a lot.

I am aware that much of the sentiment is divided by class: the letters' signatories are mostly artists, the letters' detractors are mostly their dealers and collectors. This is not a new rift in the art world, but Palestine seems to have deepened it beyond repair. Jay tells me that the magazine's publishers are putting together a statement, and he asks me to write something describing my missteps, something I could post on Artforum's website and to my personal Instagram. "And if I say no?" I ask. "Hopefully it won't come to that," he tells me.
I walk downtown to clear my head. What can I say? I don't like the barely veiled threat, and I'm not sorry. Two weeks earlier, I cringed watching Samira Nasr, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, post an apology for an Instagram story. stating that Israel cutting off Gazans' access to water and power "is the most inhuman thing I've seen in my life". To me it's simple: my job is to position the magazine correctly in the current of history. We have done the right thing.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Remember that there are NO RULES TONIGHT!

If you feel weird about being festive when the world's like this, we wrote a book for you about celebrating Christmas under a dictator.

It wasn't a religious holiday in the days of curfew in Korea, it was an act of resistance.

Here's an antifascist Christmas carol from No Rules Tonight.
