one of my faves, @kikissh.bsky.social , said they weren't feeling cute recently, which is just objectively wrong. portrait attempts provided as evidence
two portraits of a fem presenting person with long curly hair, elegant eyebrows, and lovely shaped eyeliner and eyelashes. the portrait on the left is at three quarters to the left, the portrait on the right is straight on, slightly from below. the person also has cat features in the right portrait, including fangs, ears, whiskers, and little tufts of fur

Recently wrapped up my TEFL certification, and now I'm looking for students to teach English to online! Especially interested in working with native Japanese speakers, as that's where I'm looking to teach in the near future. Please email me if you're interested! #TEFL #Englishtutor #Englishteacher
A colorful poster advertising my English teaching service. The text reads: "Learn English with a Master! Guildmaster Grouch's English Lessons Native English speaker looking to gain experience teaching English before moving to Japan! - recently TEFL certified! - no English experience required! - improve reading, writing, listening, and speaking! - personalized lesson plans! - flexible scheduling! - all ages welcome! - affordable rates, group pricing available! guildmastergrouch@gmail.com LLMs and generative "AI" have no place in my work, or your learning. The Process is the Point!" The poster also features a depiction of my cartoon avatar pointing to a speech bubble in his outstretched hand which reads "First Lesson Free." Below him is a circle containing two other characters that appear in my teaching materials, an orange blob and a blue blob, above the text "Featuring Mel & Bo!"

making my own flash cards for English lessons is paying off dividends, really proud of these little friends
three pieces of paper in a triangle formation sitting on a black drawing tablet. each has a little blob person doing an activity: the top one is cooking above the text "to cook," the left one is reading above the text "to read," the right one is shopping above the text "to shop."

there's a fantastic film that i havent seen anyone talk about called "The American Society of Magical Negroes" that is specifically about this phenomenon. it has low review scores for some reason, but i thought it was a genuinely brilliant piece of satire
promotional image with the title card "The American Society of Magical Negroes" next to two of the main characters, an older black man (David Alan Grier) with a beard and a younger black man (Justice Smith) in a sweater. theyre flanked by other characters from the film, a giant clock face is behind them all, and theyre surrounded by a void of stars or sparkles

I read "Dreamcast" as "Democrat"

I think that's enough social media for today
The cartoon character Spongebob Squarepants, in his living room, getting up out of his chair, tv remote in hand, with a heavy-lidded expression that can be interpreted as exhaustion. It's a raw screenshot of the show with no text, despite being a popular meme, because I think it's classier that way.

i love your joke, it reminded me of one of my favorite marx quotes
close up of a passage from Karl Marx's Capital, which reads "With the exception of the section on the form of value, therefore, this volume cannot stand accused on the score of difficulty. I assume, of course, a reader who is willing to learns something new and therefore to think for himself."

"hit it joe"
an older gentleman playing an instrument called a photoplayer, which was used for scoring silent films, often as live performance. it sounds like those old vaudeville comedy songs, with all the whistles and cowbells and crashing cymbals and shit

i am not trying to dunk on Red here, but this exchange just... fascinates me. 🧵
a bluesky thread, with usernames/profile pics censored with colors: red: I actually hate subtitles. I avoid stuff with them. I am dyslexic and i feel subtitles are discrimination. Some can't read as fast as they blip across the screen. So i boycott material i fond discriminates against people with a genuine disability. blue: dude. dead and hearing impaired people exist. your disability is not the only one. i really hope you're trolling. red: Never said it was the only one. It might shock you to know i am half deaf. Seriously hearing in only 1 of 2 ears. Not trolling. Explaining simply why i boycott subtitles. It is a free county. Everyone should do as they are comfortable with. But if it has subtitles, i won't be watching.

in the words of Sheriff Meyers:
"Be good. Or I'll shoot ya dead."
Sherrif Meyers from Fallout: New Vegas, with the dialogue: "I can do right by this town, they were in need of some frontier justice."

it'd be wild to see my cartoonishly simple avatar in your incredible style lol
a robed and hooded cartoon man with brown hair, a beard, and glasses, pointing at the viewer, the word CUTE in all caps above his head a cartoon man with brown hair, a beard, and glasses, wearing a blue cloak and hood, trimmed in gold. he is facing left in three-quarters perspective

im gonna consider it a sign of hope that someone attempted to deface this bigotry board
a blue Donald Trump 2024 campaign sign, defaced with hasty writing in black spray paint that maybe reads "Fuck" and what appears to be the beginnings of the letter "Y", or perhaps the first word is "Hick," really it's open to interpretation

Week 2 complete! Studying @lekroox.bsky.social 's anatomy all week definitely leveled up my brain, and this piece came together surprisingly quickly. The action pose and effects were a fun challenge!
#art #illustration
a young woman with brown skin and purple hair, covered in several splotches of blue and yellow paint, slides baseball-style toward the viewer's left, wearing only socks, shoes, and a baseball cap, while a paintball whizzes over her head. the background is a simple grid, with the artist's signature at the bottom right reading "Guildmaster Grouch"
