Darlings! I know there's a lot going on, but a friend's mom is making art in the middle of dealing with cancer.

She could use some support.

Please consider kicking in whatever you can, if you can. And please share. It'd mean a lot to me.

Happy Thursday everyone.
These last two months are really hard for me. I am grieving, I feel burnout and alone, like my life isn't worth and I must restart. I think it is because of my grandma's death. I know she was old, and so on. But I feel totally sad. I ask myself if I will feel happy again.

A Mayan scribe (right) and his instructor (left) – the dots and lines between them form an early speech-bubble, and it's thought the glyphs refer to sloppy work.

So here we have a 1,500yo cartoon of a writer getting a bollocking from his boss!

#Writing #AncientScripts #History
A Mayan vase, thought to be from 500-900 CE. It is mostly light brown, with darker brown strips at the top and bottom. The middle of the image shows a cartoon-like charcoal-coloured line-drawing of two kneeling men (a student scribe on the right, and his instructor on the left) facing each other over what we can assume to be some writing. The instructor looks narked, and the scribe looks a bit dismayed!

Posters for a Korean production of Macbeth
A Korean man in a black suit is facing the camera. A woman is facing him (we can't see her face). He has his hand around the back of her neck. The cutout of her black dress looks like a giant dagger. The background is black with a red curtain. A Korean woman facing us. A man in a black suit is kneeling in front of her chest in a supplicating manner. She's wearing a black dress with a cutout on the front that makes her bare skin look like a crown on his head. The background is black with a red curtain.

Earlier today we went out and collected rocks to put in the tortoise enclosure for enrichment. That’s what Fergus is sleeping on. Not the pillows, not the couch, not the 500 cat beds around here - a bag of rocks. 🪨

Sandman Season 2. More casting. Are you excited? I'm excited.
them for his own amusement. He’s also the inspiration for Shakespeare’s Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Indya Moore (Queen & Slim, Pose, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) plays Wanda, a professional driver and security agent for an exclusive travel firm. Wanda proves herself to be an indispensable guide on an Endless road trip to the waking world. Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, The Trip) is the voice of Barnabas, the canine companion of the Endless’s Prodigal brother. Barnabas is loyal and loving, but an outspoken cynic. Meaning, he’s both man’s best friend and man’s sharpest critic.

I'm not saying Dead Boy Detectives will be your new favourite TV show. I'm just saying...

Actually, it may very well be your new favourite show. Who am I trying to kid?

The Louisiana House today passed an anti-trans “bathroom” bill that dehumanizes trans people, strips them of basic human rights & will put them in danger. It now goes to the senate. Here’s a list senators, and the Senate switchboard # 225-342-2040

Liberalism without historical context means that you don't really have an understanding of what it is that you're involved in beyond scoring political points and feeling self-righteous

Which is why the catastrophic destruction of history programs at colleges is, uh, really not great for democracy

Am I saying this will be your new favourite show? That it will make you smile and shiver and puzzle and delight? That it's something really special? That it will ease the pain of waiting for other shows to happen?

Yes. I am saying that.

It's SO good. And it starts in three weeks...

“Black Orchid” #1, the first US comic by Gaiman and McKean, had a huge impact on me. Like “The Killing Joke,” once I finished reading it, I read it all over again. This series was just beautifully crafted and a breath of fresh air in American comics.
