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".

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Japanese Artist Akihiro Higuchi uses beetles as unique canvases for his far east infused artworks.
A vertical studio photograph showcases an extraordinary miniature artwork by contemporary Japanese artist Akihiro Higuchi, who paints directly onto preserved insects. A large stag beetle serves as a literal canvas, adorned with intricate, lacquer-style motifs reminiscent of traditional Japanese textiles and family crests (kamon). The beetle is mounted symmetrically against a completely flat, neutral pale grey background and is oriented vertically with its head facing up, highlighting its prominent, curved black mandibles. The natural black exoskeleton of the insect forms the base color for the painting, which Higuchi meticulously applies across different anatomical segments.

The head of the beetle is painted with delicate, symmetrical sprigs of white foliage flanking a central, gilded circular crest that contains a precise five-pointed star or flower emblem rendered in gold lacquer. Below this, the thorax is covered in a dense, overlapping cluster of golden-yellow chrysanthemums and slender leaves, creating a rich floral band across the beetle's midsection. The elytra, or wing cases, feature a complex background pattern of a green-and-gold basketweave or checkered textile design, over which a cascading branch of gold chrysanthemums runs vertically down the center line where the wing cases meet. The entire artwork exhibits remarkable precision, blending the natural organic textures of the insect—such as its jointed legs and spines—with the highly stylized, decorative aesthetics of historic Japanese material culture under crisp, even lighting that casts a faint shadow for dimensional depth.

I was just leafing through 1725 occult tome The Secret Magic of Abramelin the Mage in search of scary invocations for the BOOK, and I came across this list of subordinate spirits to the princes of Hell.
Lists of spirit names. The first starts "These be the Spirits in common between Asmodee and Magot" and lists a bunch of names like Sartabakim and Magiros. The next list, of spirits of Astarot, contains Gromenis, Bafamal, Schelagon... and Alan.

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

 a digital illustration of Zagreus and Chaos from Hades (Game). Zagreus is floating above Chaos' outstretched hand in the middle of ruins. He's reaching one hand up towards a boon symbol of Chaos. Chaos' face looms big in the background. The entire picture is accentuated with purple detailsTarot card illustration of Zethino, a dryad from Baldur's Gate 3, representing the Ace of Cups card. Zethino is standing in a lake, holding a cup with 5 streams of water falling out of it, she's facing forward, eyes closed, reminiscing, she's surrounded by water lillies, a tree behind to the left and a waterfall behind her. A stylized white dove is directly above the chalice. The atmosphere is calm, serene, introspective. Zethino has red hair nicely parted in the middle, a big headpiece with leaves and antlers, pale green skin with glowing vines and her outfit is a dress made out of leaves and vines.A study of J. C. Leyendecker's "Man and Woman Dancing" featuring Chiara and Lucanis. Chiara has her back turned to us, her expression is sultry, a small smirk escaping her lips. She's wearing a light blue silky dress with sheer sleeves falling over her shoulders, pearl necklace and silver bracelets and (engagement??) ring. Her hair is blue, held in an updo. Lucanis is wearing a traditional black tuxedo that is fully blended with the black background, one hand on the small of her back, the other in front. They are dancing.Portrait of Nyx from Hades (Supergiant Games) Portrait of a regal looking pale woman, her waist-length hair is elaborately fashioned with a braid on either side and a high bun held up in part by a golden crown. Her hair also flares to either side in the shape of a pair of bird-like wings, and the stars of the night sky can be seen on the undersides of these "wings." She is wearing robes with crescent moon shaped pauldrons. Her chest, forehead and earrings are decorated with tear shaped gemstones. There's 3 skill shapes on her chest, the middle one is holding the mentioned tear shaped gem. Her eyes are closed, her expression calm. The illustration is in black and white with purple and gold accents.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read
Nothing lasts forever, and that includes the Roman Empire. 

The Fall of Rome-Scented Candle smells like cypress trees and red wine. Light it and watch the Roman forum melt into a puddle of wax while you quietly contemplate the impermanence of civilizations and/or candles.

Do you think individual Romans understood that their civilization was collapsing? Or did it happen so gradually that they were able to ignore the warning signs—international trade breaking down, the senate becoming a rubber stamp for the supreme leader, and political violence becoming expected during transfers of power?

It’s hard to say, because it’s impossible to imagine being in that kind of situation. In any event—hope you enjoy the candle!
