Is there an Effective Contextualism philosophy anywhere I can subscribe to? Just where “it depends” is always the answer to what’s the right thing to do?

Ballpoint pen, copic marker, & a bit of crayon.  A fully grown man is in a tree fort high above the ground. A pack of river beavers have circled the tree and are beginning to chomp. He pleads with the beavers. “Beavers,” he says. “Let’s talk. I can get you logs.” It’s doubtful that a deal will be made. These beavers have had their sights set on this tree and there’s no guarantee that this man can deliver on his log promise. Big tree fall hard. Artist’s note: I like how the leaves turned out here.

A very grumpy man in a sweater is attempting to spend the afternoon indulging his bad mood while listening to music on his portable CD player. Unfortunately, his plans are ruined because the beat of the song is so good that it begins to improve his nasty attitude. The caption reads "Trying to brood but the beat is improving my mood." Artist's Note: I was thinking of the song Fantasy by Mariah Carey. Great beat.

I don’t have even one direct female ancestor in the last 100 years who didn’t have a job for a significant chunk of her life. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if your grandpa worked in a factory or down a mine, he probably had 9 fingers and your grandma had a job.

Was trying to think of the first time I was aware of Dolly (I dont come from a big country music family), and I think it was that scene in Mrs Congeniality 2 where Sandra Bullock tackles the real Dolly bc a criminal has been moonlighting as a part time Dolly impersonator. youtu.be/Gzb-1YNQXs0?...

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an emo teenager is sitting with his family at a table in a casual restaurant. While his parents chat, he looks at another table solemnly. There is a dark aura emanating off him. Panel 2: a similar scene across the restaurant- an emo girl with her family; her little brother is absolutely housing a cheeseburger. She stares back at the guy across the restaurant, while also emitting a dark aura. Panel 3: the two teenagers eyes are locked on each other. In a shared thought bubble, which drowns out all the surrounding ambience, they imagine themselves as anthropomorphic wolves, embracing while they ride a motorcycle down a dark and lonely road through the black of night.

I have been saying lately that distinctions of highbrow/middlebrow/lowbrow and avant-garde/arriere-garde are meaningless now (we lost the war), and I think the actual distinction is between art and slop.

J Jonah Jameson is talking to a transitioning p. parker in his office, saying "PARKER!! Didn't you start transitioning around the same time as that WEB HEAD!?"  with Parker nervously responding "Oh, yeah ... I noticed early on, talking all the photos... and it gave me the courage to start-"

In the second panel, JJ is cutting her off saying "WHAT A SHAME!  We need better representation if that MENACE is all we have to inspire young women like you!"  And Parker in the back saying "Umm... thanks?" #meme #spiderman #trans #fanart

A scene from The Odyssey where Penelope stands before the suitors, but Tim Robinson has been added in. It’s a reference to I Think You Should Leave. Penelope says “Ronnie, I feel like you’re just here for the zip line” and Tim Robinson says “what?”

interesting to see all the reviews framing Odyssey around its veteran-trauma-PTSD themes. War as something that happens to soldiers’ psyches. This is I dare say a very umbombed mentality. Processing war as individual moral injury when the actual subject is collective destruction
