I’m a chemistry professor & a hearing person learning ASL (so I can support D/hh students). I like cats and playing Destiny 2 an unreasonable amount. I only RT images with alt text. If I like your un-alt-texted art I may add a description in a reply (she)

It’s been two months since I submitted my sabbatical application and I have heard exactly nothing about it since and it’s not stressing me out at all!

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

You have hibernation sickness 🥶

if we're doing destiny but star wars and freezing drifter in carbonite (stasis) then I'm allowed to imagine soggy trembling drifter getting rescued by eris #Destiny2 #Destiny2Art #drifteris
Digital art set up to kind of look like fake screen caps from a movie. Scene referencing that in Star Wars Episode 6 when Leia saves Han Solo from his carbonite block. Two panels: the top shows Drifter and a hooded figure, Drifter looking soggy and confused, saying "I can't see." The second panel he looks toward the hooded figure, touching their masked face, and asks "Who are you?" Two more panels in the same style, a continuation. The top panel shows Drifter and the hooded figure, who took her hood and mask off to reveal herself as Eris. She answers his question, "Someone who loves you." The second panel is them doing a big smooch.

“I would say we both worked equally hard during those years and had common goals, but Roger ended up with an engineering degree and I ended up with a husband who had an engineering degree.”

from the narrative my mom’s divorce lawyer asked her to write, which I’d never seen until this weekend
February 1967 - June 1971 I worked full-time as a secretary for $400 per month while Roger attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and worked part time. I became pregnant in September 1967, and our daughter Stacey was born in May 1968. I took four weeks off work and then continued working full-time until Roger received his degree in mechanical engineering in June 1971, by which time I was making $750 per month. I attempted night school for a while, but could not manage it while working full-time and taking care of a baby. In fact, I wound up in the hospital as a result of overdoing it, and my doctor told me something would have to go. Obviously, I could not quit work or get rid of the baby, so I quit school. Roger's reply to this would be that he made as much money as I did during this time with the G.I. Bill and working part-time, but it was not because he was more talented or skilled or worked harder, but because the gross disparity between "men's work" and "women's work" allowed him to make as much money driving a dump truck in the summer as I did working all year as a secretary. I would say we both worked equally hard during those years and had common goals, but Roger ended up with an engineering degree and I ended up with a husband who had an engineering degree.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY:
Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

Been chipping away at this for a while, my half of an art trade with the very esteemed @buntglas.bsky.social featuring their gorgeous oc Misam 🌙🌟🌌

#art
A color illustration of buntglas's oc Misam, a cosmic bunny lady. She has deep brown skin with light freckles and pale violet palms, shining eyes, a golden eye tattoo on her forehead, bunny ears, and long violet hair in a braid that trails into a star. She is dressed in a deep purple top and skirt with elegant gold trim, a sheer sari with intricate embroidery edges, and lots of gold and white accessories evoking stars and moons. The background is a gold and purple art nouveau-like graphic, prominently featuring a shining eye and celestial motifs.
