I'm open for commissions in cartooney and semi-realistic style. Accepting pay-pall and transfers. Usually take 2-5 days on commission, depending on the size.

I had a dream where Camille Paglia was telling me to be responsible for myself

Must have been a short dream, if she spoke the way she usually speaks.

More like her usuall vaguely related rant about third-wave feminism

I deserve more credit for not picking stupid fights on the internet than a nice person who doesn't pick fights does, because I have an unpleasant personality and it's harder for me

I do believe it would be quite wonderful if the little frogs I found near the creek would stop a while and listen to my stories. They seem such friendly creatures and i would so graciously relate my travels to the dear fellow if one should ever stop by and rest a beat on my clammy palm. But for naught, I dread, so I shall sink back into the damp earth and nod my mossy cap to those who walk on by.

This is it, the best news story (from BBC news):

[miss-edith-cushing]

Ok, so here is the croissant that started all this mess:

When asked about what kind of animal might it be, the woman said: "It's this, oh, what is it called... A lagun!"

The devil works fast, but The Krakow Animal Welfare Society works faster:

They already made a merchandise with an illustration of the lagun - they posted information about it on Facebook on Tuesday evening and by the Wednesday morning everything was already sold out.

My university professors are so delighted about this story that they are writing tons and tons of limericks, moskaliks and lepiejs (those two last genres are very popular, ridiculous and humorous types of short poems, in last decades popularized by Wisława Szymborska) and posting them on official Facebook pages of our university departments, and I am dying of laughter.

Important update on the story: owners of cafés and bakeries in Kraków realized that this wonderful idiocy that took over the country could bring them profit and help animals, and started selling croissants labeled as laguns: i.e. Massolit Café & Bakery is sending 10% of income from selling laguns to the Krakow Animal Welfare Society. Thankfully laguns are selling like hotcakes and bakeries don't plan to stop making them, so the story that started and could quickly die as just another seasonal nonsense transformed into a tool for helping small, helpless, vulnerable creatures, far less dangerous than vicious lagun.

i just donated to give2asia’s india covid-relief fund. i could only afford to give $7, but those seven dollars are worth 524 rupees. if you’re unaware of the situation, things in india are really, really dire right now and anything you can do to help is worth it. this is of apr 25 2021.

Listen. Do it for the aesthetic. If you want to fill an entire 20 dollar sketchbook with anatomy drawings fucling do it. If you wanna get lost in the woods and come stumbling home with a bag of dried mushrooms and bones you go goblin dude. You aren't alive to go to work and hurt!! You're alive because bumblebees bump into little flowers and dandelions only open up in the sun! You're alive because cats purr when you pet them and coffee keeps you up all night!! Do everything for the aesthetic!!
