I love how all paintings of George Washington try to make him look stalwart and resolute, but he mostly just looks 110% done with everyone's shit.

We're not even going to talk about the lady fingers.

Fun fact: this painting is titled "The Irritating Gentleman"

There's just something about her smile.

In the early 70s Sesame Street was created with an eye towards educating poor, inner-city children for free, and became a massive hit with all children. In 2016, faced with going off the air forever after facing conservative efforts to destroy public broadcasting since basically its beginning, new episodes became a timed exclusive for premium cable network HBO. In 2022 HBO Max, newly merged with and taken over by reality TV channel Discovery, removed Sesame Street episodes and spin-offs from streaming as a tax write-off and scheme to avoid paying residuals.

Sesame Street's official YouTube channel is uploading the episodes for free, btw. A lot of creators are rebelling against this bullshit.

Sesame Street on PBS KIDS. Play games with Elmo, Big Bird, Abby and all of your Sesame Street friends. Watch videos and print coloring pages

As always, America, PBS has you and your kids' backs.

I also want to put in a plug for the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, spearheaded by GBH in Boston to preserve and make available public funded programming from around the country.  More than 7000 public television and radio programs are available to stream through the website, with more than 40000 hours of programming archived and available to researchers and educators through the Library of Congress and GBH itself.

Archives are so, SO important. Support them if you can.

What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?

Aye matey.

A Mexican magician says that he will dissappear on the count of three.

"Uno...dose... *poof*"

He vanished without a tres.

I don't know if this'll be the final design for this little lady, but I'm enjoying her anyway.

What is small, black and yellow, and drops things?

A fumble bee.

I'm killing two birds called #mothersday and #mermay with one pretty stone this year. I loved working on this for my mom, who happens to adore mermaids. Love you, Mom!
