Two circular challenge coins are shown side by side against a dark background. The left coin features a white skull overgrown with colorful mushrooms—yellow, red, orange, purple, and green—emerging from its eye sockets and crown, with a pale ribbon below reading “ADMIT ONE.” The right coin shows a stark black tree with gnarled, twisting branches on a white background; several black stars hang from its limbs like pendulums. Text around the edge reads “THE DEADLANDS 2026,” with “MEMENTO MORI” centered at the base.

did you know that right now, we're only a partial skeleton? we're not fully funded, and so we're missing some critical bones.

this is truth

and sadly not sustainable

help us be a full skeleton?

A modified version of the Simpsons “Do It For Her” meme. The bulletin board that normally shows photos of Maggie is instead covered with various pictures of skeletons in different poses and settings. The central text still reads “DO IT FOR HER,” but “her” has been humorously replaced by the collage of skeleton images, making it a skeleton-themed parody of the original meme.

A meme image based on Nickelback’s “Look at this photograph” scene. The lead singer is holding up a framed picture, but instead of a photo, the frame shows a custom coin design featuring a skull with mushrooms, plants, and the words “Admit One.” Below the image, the meme text says: “look at this coin” with the word “coin” in red replacing “photograph.”

think of all THE HORSESHOE CRAB GHOSTS

that we CAN”T EVEN SEE bc

we are not on their wavelength

horshoecrab wave length

400M years

horse shoecrab ghosts POWER THE UNIVERSE
1. horshoe crabs predate the dinosaurs. just how old are horshoe crabs? Scients have discovered fossils of their ancient ancestors that lived 445 million years ago. Dinosaurs first appeared about 200 (picture cuts image off) (picture is of a person sitting near a road with a horshoe crab over their face, pictures says) I bring a sort of ABILITY TO SURVIVE vibe to the MASS EXTINCTIONS that OTHER SPECIES don't really like

most magazines be like

my dearest rebecca...

the last of the patreon funding has been used up on a poem I just had to buy

we have to renew our Moksha subscription next month and I don't know if we'll be able to

if I drown in submissions remember me as I lived, publishing things...

(it's us)👇👇
