#pokemonlegendsZA I have got to be one of the first ones to do this hunt and it is so satisfying after grinding it for hours over the last couple of days.

Have some doodles.

A drawing done in ink on a sticky note depicting a man with an angular face wearing a jester’s cap and an old-timey collar ruffle. The body lacks coherent definition but means to portray a Jester suit. It is entitled: Skewart the Freak

A picture of a cartoony dog head settled on a body with wiry arms and a drummer boy outfit with two of its four front braids sagging. The face consists of a large bean-shaped snout under which a tiny mouth hands open in a smile, thin mellow eyes, and a small scar on the left cheek.
It is entitled Milk Bone: Good Boy

Another sticky note drawing depicting a man with a collared shirt and necktie clenching his hands together. He wears a neutral expression and sports salt and pepper hair.
The drawing is labeled: Dante Mori

A sticky note sketch of a balding man smiling widely, submerged to his chest in water. He is balding, with only a ring of hair remaining just above the ears, and his head glistens.

It is labeled “Lysander The Shiny”

@samreich.bsky.social I know you said the new episode is going to be special, but I think you’ve really outdone yourself.

An article from IFL science dated one day ago (eg 7/9/2025) which reads: In New “Game-Changer”, Scientists Extract 24-Million-Year-Old Protein Fragments From Extinct Rhino Tooth

I managed to secure 3 of the leftovers for myself, and I don’t know if I have the self control to refrain from eating all of them tomorrow in a sugar binge my doctor would call “disapponting.”

Happy #MakeATerribleComicDay2025

A hand-drawn comic with a bird and a raccoon.
In panel 1, the raccoon says “Don’t you know the saying? One man’s trash is pretty good.”
In panel 2, he continues, “Two men’s trash is even better.”
On panel 3, the raccoon now holds a boombox above his head. The bird speaks, saying “I don’t think that’s how it- Oh shit! A boombox!”
On panel 4, the bird now wears sunglasses, the raccooon a necklace with a medallion. The boombox plays “Escape From the City” from Sonic Adventure 2

Content Warning: U.S. bombings in Iran

A headline from WSJ on the evening of 6/21/2025. It reads: U.S. Bombs Iran Live Updates: Trump Says America Has Struck Three Nuclear Sites

Last #MarvelSNAP post went well, so uh, here’s my very healthy collection of Ghost-Spiders. One of my conditions for spending money in game is that it’s always justified for my favorite 😊

A dozen variants of Ghost-Spider from the game Marvel SNAP.

The Ghost Spider variant I like best from what I’ve infinity split

The current custom Ghost Spider I run to flex mastery 30

Today has felt rough, but beating a dude who willingly named himself after the disaster-in-chief in Marvel SNAP two different times was nice

My final for one class was to write a Blues Song based off Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. Dunno how well it does as a song tbh, but it’s still a solid piece of #poetry I think.

Title: Hellbound Blues

A lyric sheet for a song titled “Hellbound Blues”

The pathway down to hell, it’s paved with good intents
Yes the pathway to hell, it’s paved with good intents
But if you focus on the path, you may just miss the fence

On the pathway down to hell, a man returned toward me
On the pathway down to hell, a man returned toward me,
He bled so freely onto brick, and told me what he means.

“Son, see my example, even hell must turn me loose”
He said “See my example, how hell done turned me loose”
And he sauntered on laughing, as the soot fell from his shoes.

Ashen footsteps led the way to hell’s infernal gates.
Ashen footsteps led the way to hell’s infernal gates,
And steam rose up behind ‘em, a warmth to seal all fates.

I walked through white hot flames, and on the other side,
I walked through white hot flames, and on the other side,
A so-called liberator saw I had nothing to hide.

Plaster horns adorned him, melted to his hair,
Yes plaster horns adorned him, melted in his hair,
And a tail of chains wrapped ‘round his waist insures that he stays there.

(Spoken-Word)
“They sent another soldier with clothes singed off his back,”
“Expecting blood and bondage, cent’ries on a torture rack”
“Tell me, man, what’s so damn wrong about a heart that’s black?”

“Now you come here for glory, man, you’re spoilin’ for a fight,
But I won’t raise a hand against you. We both know it ain’t right,
Just leave my mem’ry down here, or go bring the world my light.”

(Sung)
I emerged from hell bewildered with the devil’s candlestick
Yes I emerged from here bewildered with the devil’s candlestick
A gentle flame that yearns to burn, dancing on its wick.

Rain fell all around me, cryin’ for my soul
Rain done fell around me, cryin’ for my soul
Washin’ ‘way the flame, demanding credits roll.

A rare topical post. (Topic: Health Insurance CEO assassination, if you’d like to scroll past)

I pledge alliegance to my insurance company, and all of its executives. And to all the public, whom we shall scam, one corporation, under CEO, with benefits and profits for some. 🫡

A photo of an email which reads as follows,

“Dear Team,

In light of recent events in our industry, several employees have reached out to express concerns about safety, particularly regarding the well-being of our executive team. We take these concerns very seriously and are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels secure and supported.

To help reinforce our shared commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace, we are requiring each of you to take the following pledge. Please copy the text of the pledge in the attached document and reply to this email with your name included.

All emplyees are required to take the pledge.”

The name of the insurance company and employee who sent the email are censored to maintain the original poster’s privacy and financial security.

A “Safety and Solidarity Pledge” from an insurance company. The relevant passages of the pledge are highlighted and read as follows: (I commit to)

“Recognizing the health insurance industry and its vendors as an indispensible pillar of the American healthcare system…. Acknowledging the vital role of executives as the organization’s key drivers of success and exemplars of leadership and professionalism…. Denouncing any and all forms of violence or threats against executives unequivocally and without exception.”

If I may editorialize: Hahahahahahaha… wait, they’re serious?

A Four Panel Comic. In the first panel, a woman admits she is depressed. In the second, a man tells her she does not look depressed. In the third panel, the woman accepts an Oscar from an unseen person off panel. In the final panel, the woman, now under a spotlight, says “thank you” and bows to an unseen audience for her performance as a non-depressed person.

PSA For all the newcomers to Bluesky. If you go to settings -> Moderation -> Muted tags and words, you can prevent whole subjects from entering your timeline. Great for taking breaks and avoiding spoilers.

And if you learn other helpful tricks please tell me. My tech skills rival an octogenarian.
