tempted to dig up my old tumblr account to crosspost botober stuff to, but if I knew the password to that I'd lose 0,5-2 hours a day on it for the next several months and the five engagement endorphins I would get stretched out over october are probably not worth it

Today's #botober prompt, generated by tiny language model from racehorse names, was "happy fly"

a messy digital drawing of a grinning horse with compound eyes, see-through wings and six legs. You might call it... a horsefly

Happy mushroom season!

A comic titled "Types of mushrooms" with 12 mushroom species. A wrinkly-looking morel is labeled "creepy but tasty". A brownish deadly galerina is labeled "boring but deadly". A witch's butter on a branch is labeled "jiggles if you poke it". A large puffball is labeled "egg". A creepy red-dripping bleeding tooth fungus is labeled "deeply disconcerting". A fly agaric with a green treefrog sitting under it is labeled "frog umbrella". A black chanterelle is labeled "chalice for forbidden elixers". Three straight-stemmed entolomas are labeled "haha, nipples". A bright purple viscid violet cort is labeled "purple is nice". A birch polypore sticking out of a birch trunk is labeled "tree nose". A complex yellow-tpped coral fungus is labeled "cursed citadel where dwells a fairy queen". A Ravenel's stinkhorn is pixellated at the top for your safety, and labeled "NSFW".

Medusa but her hair is an anaconda

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey chiton and stubbornly strides to the left, dragging the heavy snake, which trails sullenly along behind

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. It is completely coiled around her, leaving only her angry yellow eyes visible, and a single hand lifted to flip off the world

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey towel and is scrubbing the snake. A bar of soap sits in a small puddle off to the left

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She sits, drumming her fingers impatiently, while in the background the anaconda digests some large prey

Sometimes it's less "carefully transport the various nuances of the source" and more "squeeze a kernel of meaning from whatever bullshit someone in the best case carelessly copy-pasted together, in the worst case told a machine to carelessly copy-paste together, and make something with that"
