Reposting some old art for posteriority! And I do like this sequence a lot. C:
A digitally painted sequence of a quiet country lane leading towards a rural village during a still summer's evening. Some crows perch upon the wires of a rural powerline, when they are suddenly interrupted by a large 20+ft black wyvern attempting to join them! There is a big arc-flash as the wyvern's talons fault the lines, but the last panel shows that he survives and the crows return to roost alongside. In the background however the village's lights go out.

Do Not Enter was such a bad movie in a specific way I was looking it up to see if it was a videogame adaptation.

I unloaded and shelved a pallet of boxes this morning then in the afternoon carried buckets of hot water to aggressively mop and scrub for three hours now I'm sitting here wondering why it feels like my arms are going to fall off.

The whiplash I had touring open houses today. I'm sure "virtually enhanced" means the floors are shitstained and the walls are cracked. Of course the photographer won't take photos of a busted door, this is still an exhausting layer of deceit.
The text says: Perfect opportunity for investors, multigenerational living, or buyers looking to add value. "Virtually enhanced photos are included to demonstrate the home’s potential condition after cosmetic improvements and cleanup."

Duke...Duke I think this is meant to be more "medieval dragon" but...sure a literal worm on the cover ok.
Cover of the Duke Classics edition of "Lair of the White Worm" by Bram Stoker. The cover has a worm on it. Worm is a medieval or Germanic term for a dragon.

ultimately the fallout of all this is that cartoonists who aren't necessarily trained in academic citation, history and historiography, and don't have a background in that, will be terrified to draw anything nonfiction. and that's not on the academics who feel slighted. that's on comic publishers

And that's where readers can get tripped up. They don't realize that they have read a story, a narrative, from a very specific POV, not just a collation of facts. Historians are not neutral actors. And in this particular case, narrative becomes even more important, bc the facts are enigmatic.

someone on tumblr said it better than i could
I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.
doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

Meme containing an image of a man holding up his hands, caption is a quote: “AI is not just a tool in the toolbox, it’s a competitor.

Gorgeous comic. Checked out from the library, hot dang. Love these luscious bright color compositions.
Book titled "Dracula, motherfucker." By Alex de Campi and Erica Henderson. Luscious 1970s inspired cover with an ornate old cross in the center, bleeding black. A hooded woman smiles with a fang showing. A black man looks anxious. Three lovely women with different body types lounge above a trail of malevolent eyes.A comic page. A woman runs towards another woman, who falls to the ground, bloody. The bloody woman looks up, asks "Mercy?"
The other woman smiles and says "This is mercy" before transforming into a large multi-eyed wolf baring her fangs.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.
Senator Andy Kim runs into the street as an ICE armored vehicle behind him prepares to deploy chemical agents against protestors in front of Delaney Hall concentration camp in Newark, NJ. His hands are outstretched and he appears to be shouting.
