i am starting it all over again. did i learn a thing? (last drawing of 2025)
A paint and pen drawing of a headless humanoid figure, just their chest and arms. Their head has been replaced with a cacophony of paint colors that mingle into a sickly green brown at points. Most notiably is the bird cage in their chest. It is large for it's vessel but small for it's prisoner, a sparkily and frightened bird. The human reaches out to comfort the bird, who has pecked their finger to the point of bleeding. Both the human's hands are absolutely covered in bandages. The bars of the cage are haphazardly nailed and pinned in place at odd and painful bent angles. The human holds a crowbar, and a few bars have been dented but none broken for the bird's freedom. Butterflies swirl around the two, their wing markings the shape of staring eyes. Two large butterflies flutter near the human's neck on either side, carring a huge and painfully pointed nail. The human's neck is also covered in bandages.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

As we move into Hate Yourself Publicly Season, I also wish for us a year in which we have the courage to value ourselves for who we are & not hate ourselves for who we're not, a year in which we listen not to those who line their pockets with our insecurities, but to voices of tenderness & respect.

“Are you ready, kid?”

I’ve always loved how Christmas and New Year feel like one continuous season, so I drew this piece to celebrate that.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! 🐴

2026 is the Year of the Horse.

It's possible that a year from now, on Dec. 31, we will be able to say that things are better now than they were a year ago. I don't think that was possible a year ago. So there's something to hold on to!

the cryptids and critters of New Mexico #cryptids #CreatureDesign
the jackalope, a desert hare with very large ears and two very tall and thin horns growing out from the top of it's head. the Cactus Cat, a large cat with large paws and huge ears that seems to be either colored like or made out of cactuses. it has a large tail with a blade like end that it cuts into cactuses with so it can drink the juice and eat the bugs and flesh on the inside. the Chupacabra, a very thin skeletal creature that seems to resemble both a canine and an insect at the same time. it has huge fangs and claws, and a very long tounge it uses to drink livestock and human blood. Gremlins, a very small mouse like creature, with a long tail covered in colorful feathers and a hand at the end of it. it has large fluffy feathers around it's eyes, and a long pink snout to help it do robberies and crimes with machinery and mechanics.

One of my favorite Wikipedia tables documents how each year's Gävlebock met its maker en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4...
1966. Destroyed 31 December. Fire. 1967. Survived. 1968. Fence added. Survived. 1969. Inside of goat protected by chicken-wire netting. Destroyed 31 December. Fire. 1970. Destroyed six hours after construction. Fire. The goat's destruction was blamed on two drunk teenagers. With help from several financial contributors, the goat was reassembled out of lake reed. 1971. Smashed to pieces. The Southern Merchants became tired of their goats being burned down, and stopped constructing them. The Natural Science Club from the School of Vasa took over and built a miniature goat. 1972. Collapsted. 1973. Stolen. The goat was stolen by a man, who then placed it in his backyard. He was later sentenced to two years in prison for aggravated theft. 1974. Fire. 1975. Collapsed. The goat collapsed under its own weight. 1976. Hit by a car. This year's goat was smaller than the previous ones. A student rammed the hind legs of the goat with a Volvo Amazon, collapsing the structure.

trying to do more marker doodles in my sketchbook. decided to try my hand at those dang dreemurr kids and their dang dreemurr stripes (i'll add goat boy when i can get the face right) #Undertale #Deltarune
a pen and marker doodle of three cartoon kids. on the left is Kris, whose about 14 or so years old. they have shoulder length and messy hair that covers one eye, a few pimples all over their face and neck and a very tired and unamused expression. they wear very typical depressed teenager clothes, ill fitting cargo pants, a baggy hoodie, colorful socks and old sneakers with very loose shoelaces. The middle child is Chara, who is about 9. Their colorful flower crown does nothing to sweeten their very grouchy and annoyed expression. they wear nicer clothes than a lot of kids their age, boots, corduroy shorts, a button up shirt and sweater vest, but everything is a bit rumpled and disheveled like a kid would be. The right child is Frisk, who is about 6 at most. they have very unkempt hair with little leaves and twigs sticking out of it, a missing tooth in their big grin, and band aids and friendship bracelets all over. they wear a chunky striped sweater, a patched up denim overalls and bright yellow rainboots.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social

I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here
