Post something random or you'll have an awful December.
A screenshot from a subreddit. There’s text at the top is as it follows: r/Japaneselanguage u/ragrivgo • 1h Is he Onii-chan in Japanese version? There’s an image of a large projection of a chose shot of a man, looking booth authoritative and menacing. I fail to recognize the origin, but it might be from an adaptation of the book 1984. The person depicted is Big Brother. The following text is under the image: In 1984, there is a character called "Big Brother". Did they translate it as "Onii-chan" or is there any other way of saying big brother? Under it we see an upright arrow. Followed by the number 23. To its left there is a downright arrow. A few spaces to the right there is an icon representing a cartoon speech ballon, followed by the number 5. Closer to the right, there’s an icon that looks like a medal, and finally an arrow with a thin start, pointing to the right.

I took a watercolor class this week. It was a great way to relax and helped me feel more at ease with my watercolor practice. We were given the b&w image to start and the instructor helped us with some basic technique steps to get started.

Austin locals: try it!

A watercolor image depicting a couple of brothers, one tall, with a blue cape and a red, conical hat. The second one is short, with blue overalls, a grey teapot as a hat (he’s an elephant), and a pet frog under his right arm. A bluebird follows them along. The woods looks spooky.

Merry November 10th to those who celebrate
A panel from the seminal Watchmen #4. We see a commercial kitchen, with people terrified looking to a circulatory system standing in the kitchen. A text block with the following information describes the scene. IT'S NOVEMBER IOTH NOW. THERE IS A CIRCULATORY SYSTEM WALKING THROUGH THE KITCHEN ...

“This will fix me” is used to imply life will improve after X. These homemade papas con soyrizo tacos did that. I’m a happier Abuelite now.
An orange plate with a quesadilla with melty queso asadero, laying next to a dark red mix of diced potatoes infused with the spices of soyrizo. The quesadilla has a few dark spots where the corn tortilla got lightly charred. An orange plate lays on the background, filled with a dark red mix of diced potatoes and soyrizo. A left hand opens a quesadilla, showing multiple strands of melted cheese, stretching across the tortilla. An orange plate is on the background, filled with dark red diced potatoes with soyrizo. A left hand is on the forefront, showing a quesadilla stuffed with a couple of spoonfuls of the papas con soyrizo mix, a sprinkle of diced onions and cilantro, and finished topped with bright salsa verde. The morning was by no means bad but this meal improved the day.

If you see this, post a Frankenstein (or Mexican interpretation)
Book cover of the Mexican anthology Biútiful Frik. The orange cover shows a very classic version of the monster, with a high brow, pale skin, and screws on the neck. The cover lists the authors participating in this anthology. Bernardo Fernandez (BEF) was intentional looking for women writers to be part of this compilation.

sad images, for different reasons. both are at the Valle de las Lágrimas in Los Andes. The image on top is January 1973. The bottom one is January 2023.
Top image depicts a snowy mountain landscape. You see the partial section of a plane from Fuerza Aerea Uruguaya. A survivor is seen in front of it. The bottom image depicts the same location but devoid of any snow. The once white mountains are ochre, brown, and sienna colored.

This is a fascinating anecdote about Robert Redford. Some roles seriously require lived experience
Text over white background When it came to casting, the problems really began. It should have been easy. Charles Webb himself was a fair-haired, lanky, fresh-faced graduate of Williams College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and had grown up in a decidedly Wasp enclave in Pasadena. "I interviewed hundreds, maybe thousands, of men," Nichols told an enthusiastic crowd at the Directors Guild of America Theatre in New York, in 2003, at a screening of The Graduate. He even discussed the role with his friend Robert Redford, who was eager for the part. "I said, You can't play it. You can never play a loser.' And Redford said, 'What do you mean? Of course I can play a loser.' And I said, 'O.K., have you ever struck out with a girl?' and he said, 'What do you mean?' And he wasn't joking."

Today, try to post a movie poster that goes so hard that the movie could never, ever live up to it

I heard it was shown on MST3K
A poster for the 1960 Mexican movie “La Nave De los Monstruos.” At the top of the image you can read the name of the 3 main actors: - Lalo González “Piporro” - Ana Bertha Lepe - Lorena Velazquez On the last part of the image, there’s a robot with a blocky and robust body and a cylindrical head. Next to is is the title of the movie “La Nave De Los Monstruos,” with a rocket flying to the left and sandwiched by the text. Under this is a creature with bulging eyes and 4 arms. There is a woman with short hair, only wearing a yellow swimsuit and high heels, looking scared of the monster. Next to them is a red, hulking monster with scaly red skin, looking menacing. Next to it is a woman with dark hair to her shoulders, looking decisive, wearing a green swimsuit. She has a device with a screen hanging from her shoulder, and is pointing a ray gun towards the first woman. At the bottom of the screen is the image of a monster’s torso, with a head with a weird, brain-like mass on top, menacing eyes, mouth agape with teeth, with blood coming out. Next to it is a man with a thin mustache, a black hat, and a revolver. There’s the skeletal head of something that looks like a dog next to him.

I just scored a high tech camera for free.

It’s been called the worst camera ever made.

I’m excited about it
The back of a Light L16 camera, with a large LCD screen. A thin, metallic section on the right completes the back. The front of a Light L16 camera. The left side shows a metallic pattern similar to the one on the back. The rest of the front has 16 lenses of different sizes and designs.

We see an elderly man with his face close to the floor. There’s a red blob of blood on the marbled floor. There’s man has his mouth open, his tongue out, ready to voraciously lick the splatter clean.

Show me an image on your phone that has your energy but is not a selfie.
The scribble of a cat in the center of an off-white wall. The feline is as simple as it could be: a rectangular body with 4 small protrusions, evoking legs. The head is a large oval over it, with a single ear. The right side of the head appears to be bitten off. The Sat looks nonplussed. The following lines of text appear on top and below the cat: do you have 🐱 any ibuprofen

I keep thinking how they see themselves as birds when they are actually commodified prey
Four panel comic, reusing the first panel setting. Two eagles, sitting in couches. The rough one is reading a newspaper. The left one has a teacup with a saucer on their hands. Panel 1: The eagle on the right asks “Do you think the owl is a predator?” Panel 2: Left eagle “Of course not. He’s never bothered me.” Right eagle “exactly.” Panel 3: Right eagle takes a sip from their cup. Panel 4: Right eagle “No idea what Mr. Mouse was going about.”

First time using the Freeform app. The disadvantage of having large fingers is how hard it is to see what you’re drawing. Anyways, here is Birbo Baggins
A bird with a red crest like a rooster, a beak like a rooster, legs like a rooster, and winds like a rooster. If you think I was trying to draw a rooster, you are wrong. Also, it is all drawn in blue. It was a style choice. Which is the excuse some artists use. I am not an artist. I grew up with no art. The first time I saw an art it was at a panda unveiling at Mexico City’s zoo. Google it. The photos speak for themselves. Because that is the technology we have these days. Bananas.
