Fascism is trying to make its roots stronger and more widespread, and the best thing we can do is salt the earth and sow rocks into the soil so it cannot. any way possible. every way possible.

An illustration of a small, crying tabby cat holding a shopping bag. Next to it are large hand-drawn words that say “shopping small makes a big difference.” The cat has a heart over its head, and there are many other doodles around everything on a sage green background.

lydia is pleased that i am home to grab her little head and clean the goop outta her eyes
a silly closeup of Lydia (an elderly tuxedo cat) having her head grabbed. her ears are pushed back so that only her face is visible. she has an expression of relaxed pleasure Lydia again but i am petting her kind of normally

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …

A float of Goku from Dragon Ball Z, smiling and holding his hand to his head with two fingers extended. There is a caption that says [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] overlaid on top of him.

a drawing of my oc in a sweater, fork in hand, hovered over a nondescript bowl. there are stink lines raised from my character, as they look down with a tired and awkward expression. text reads: so stinky & so sleepy an arrow points to the bowl and labels it "awful bowl of beef + rice"

both awake at the same time, i see
a living room in the cold light of morning. a little dog with big ears is curled up on the couch in a small nest of blankets a closeup of the dog. she has a light tan head and a mostly black body. she is looking at the camera with ears perked up and a relaxed, sleepy expression. the arrangement of blankets she's been sleeping suggests she made a little nest for herself.

But, they *do* make excellent cat beds.
Cat staring at the camera as it looks out from its iMac cat bed:) Fake ad for the "iBed" - basically a cat bed made out of an emptied out iMac - with a satisfied ginger customer.

when contemplating whether to participate in news cycle chatter* it's good to ask "might I more fruitfully spend my keystrokes reminding people that wolves are cool and badass"

*not gonna call it "discourse" I'm reclaiming discourse for undergrad semioticians
