I dunno, guys. Looks pretty gay to me.
Image of a "masculine rosary" from a website. The crystals are almost d20 like, which is DEFINITELY not masculine. The scrollwork around the Mary centerpiece is also pretty frou frou. Jesus on the cross is even kinda soft around the edges. Not very masculine at all. Plus, the cross has the INRI sign, which, being Latin, is very high-school-classics-guy, which is the antithesis of masculine.

Oh. Oh Loyola. Oh no.
An issue of the Loyola Phoenix from Loyola University Chicago. The headline reads "$1.5 billion tranist funding bill passed" I had to type that three times to keep autocorrect from fixing "tranist" to "transit".

The symbolism exhibit at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social is completely worth a visit
Entry area for The Art Institute of Chicago's Symbolism exhibit "Strange Realities" An etching of Munch's The Scream Odilon Redon's drawing, Cauldron of the Sorceress. Appears to be a seated woman shown shrouded in shadow, he face is not very visible. In the cauldron is what looks like two heads, one of which is showing the skull. Jean Delville's drawing titled Medusa. A color image of the face of Medusa, her hands outstretched next to her face. Her hair, being made of snakes, maybe held up be her hands.

I wonder if you can 3d print bosun whistles
A picture of an antique bosun whistle, used on ships. It has a long curved pipe on the top, a ball on the end with an opening, and a spine underneath with a ring to put a chain thru. This one has "Whaleboat Race 1893" embossed on the spine

Btw, if you haven't had this Pretty Cool Halloween flavor yet, you're missing out.
