preparing for the elections tomorrow

This isn’t just a concert. It’s a final massive show of resistance before the election.

spider having a breakdown about the concept of lesbianism to all the things she said by t.a.t.u might be the funniest scene in cinema history

Sketchbook WIP of Sauron and Galadriel. I used a reflective gold and silver paint for her hair and chest plate so it stands out when the light hits it. Still need to add the background. I'm imagining the raft scene from TROP but with him in the full Sauron armor and her in her Dark Queen outfit.

It’s too much for coffee early on, but perfect for a proper knight out

Obsessed with characters who are chronic oversharers but in a way that conceals any real information about themselves. Characters who talk about everything but leave out everything that actually has meaning to them, who use their oversharing to hide all the things they're not talking about.

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

And listen.

Sometimes stuff that is GENUINELY SCARRING to you can also be a surprise tool that helps you later.

I had to read Bridge to Terabithia when I was ten, and when I tell you that book fucked me up. I'm 37 and sometimes I still remember the ending and just stop in my tracks.

But it helped me to better appreciate my grandma's art when she died.

I've still got some of her work in my house. One of her painted plates is literally hanging behind me right now.

I read The Giver by choice when I was eleven, without any real idea what I was getting into, but when you guys hear me yell about the sanitization of the world, that is entirely The Giver and Brave New World speaking. The Giver taught me that pain and joy are intertwined and you can't pick and choose and still have a full life. That's why I rail so hard against censorship. It's The Giver, it's literally The Giver.

I read The Trial by Franz Kafka when I was nineteen. Yeah, the Metamorphosis guy. His work is abstract and reading it feels like looking through a melting mirror and the end is both horrifying and inevitable, and you will never read a more incisive critique of the concept of the panopticon.

Read it not "even if" it disturbs you, but because it disturbs you. Think about what you've read. Think about what it has to say to you.

It's worth it.
