WHO MADE THIS 💀!
Parody of the manners posters on subways that encouraged ppl to engage in less savory behaviors at home instead of the train, encouraging Japanese men who clean up stadiums to great media praise to also help out cleaning at home and I am dead. I simultaneously love the person who made this and hate them for thinking of it first. It is high art.

This thing of "I cannot find a romantic partner therefore all is doomed" - the problem is that so many men are socialised against making friends that they put far too much pressure on finding a partner as the solution to all their ills, as if a partner can or should "fix" everything.

Co-signed and underlined. While I get a lot of value out of improvised TTRPG experiences, it's good to call out that an improvised "game" has rules all its own. You are not "ignoring the rules" when you improvise around them. You are changing the rules. (Which is fine, but own up to it!)

Please help grow support for Rep. Pressley’s discharge petition. Script & numbers ➡️
Graphic from Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune’s office with a light blue background. Header reads: What You Can Do To Continue to Support TPS Holders.
Two numbered action items are listed. The first, labeled Call the members of the U.S. Congress in bold magenta text, urges readers to co-sponsor Rep. Pressley’s House Discharge Petition 15 and extend TPS for Haitians. A sample script follows, reading: “My name is ______, I’m calling to advocate for Haitians in the U.S with TPS Status across the country as the Federal Administration is seeking to end Temporary Protected Status. I urge Representative _____ to co-sponsor Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s House Discharge Petition 15, which would allow a vote on House Resolution 965 to extend TPS for Haitians. This is about protecting families, upholding our values, and standing on the right side of history. Please contact Congresswoman Pressley’s office to become a co-sponsor. Thank you for your consideration.” The second action item, labeled Call the White House switchboard in bold magenta text, provides the number (202) 456-1414 and urges readers to preserve TPS.

A reference picture of a plus-sized model standing against a blue backdrop, holding a sword as if they are about to swing it. Next to it is a digital drawing of that reference, with an added black tank-top and red shorts outfit and hatching for shadingThe same reference photo with a new study of it , with long black pants instead of shorts, thicker lines for shading, and an attempt at a more stylized face.A zoom in on the models face as a reference picture in the corner, with a thin, sketchy trace of the basic face shapes next to it and full block color study of the face next to that.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control
