It's Wold Octopus Day. Remember to hug your octopus.

At the bottom there's a human skull nestled within the arms.CephaLovePod: A screenprint of a red octopus posing with its mantle and arms forming a valentine heart shape. It is wrapped around a harpoon in place of Cupid's arrow.4 Limbs Bad... 8 Limbs Good.: A screenprint of an orange octopus on the bottom of a sea wrapped around and cradling a broken human femur and a skull.

Anyone up for a match at the #WoTtober Courtyard? #thewheeloftime #zuconart
A digital illustration of a fake 2D fighting game stage with a 2 versus 1 fight. On the top, there are wide red healthbars, with thinner green stamina bars underneath them, in purple frames. Above the healthbars are the names of the characters written with capital letters in black old schooly pixel font. On the left side the names are "Lord Gawyn Trakand" on the top, and "Lord Galadedrid Damodred" below him. On the right side is "Matrim Cauthon". Next to the healthbars are portraits of the characters in the fight. Gawyn is a reddish brown haired man with blue eyes, Galadedrid a dark brown haired bearded man with blue eyes, and Matrim a curly brown haired man with a thinner beard. Between the healthbars are big white letters "VS" with purple edges. In the center of the image of the word "fight" in very large capital letters, white with thin purple edges. Purple lighting spreads out from behind it, and a thin white horizontal line with sparks run over the lightning bolts, behind the word, from side to side. On the bottom half of the image, Gawyn and Galadedrid stand with a sword in their hands each.  Gawyn is on the left, holding his sword downwards on his side, and Galad stands holding his sword up and ready, both facing the staff-wielding Matrim on the right at equal level. The background is supposedly a part of a warders' training ground courtyard. Wooden arches on at the edge of a mostly shaded sidewalk hold up a wall. Lanterns hang from wooden pillars, and the back wall of the sidewalk is stone, with some bricks visible. There are crates and tied up sacks on the sidewalk. The background has a halftone texture on it. Each character is in a ready stance, the fight hasn't started yet. The artist's signature is on the left bottom with the year 2026.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

An illustration featuring a sequence of a person performing yoga poses in a grid format.

The top row begins with four active movements: reaching upward while standing, a forward fold, a low lunge, and transitioning into child's pose. However, the rest of the grid—consisting of sixteen additional frames across four rows—shows the person remaining completely still in child's pose (kneeling and curled forward with the forehead on the ground).

The image humorously depicts a yoga session that starts with effort but quickly turns into a prolonged session of resting.

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.
