Was looking up the ingredients of a skin care product I like. Their AI helpfully suggested this for my face also.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

I believe that everyone should be allowed the space and time and opportunity to become who they truly are. I am sad that some people, given the space and time and opportunity, choose to be assholes.

Just on the off chance you are needing way more weirdness in your day. Georgie Dann's "Paloma Blanca" (1975). Wow. The weird. It burns.

Richard Thorn - "Light" - Watercolour

A gorgeous watercolour scene of sunshine coming through the trees on the snow- in the backdrop are some mountains. It is done in hues of blues and whites and yellow and is a beautiful interplay of light filtered in different ways.

Almost any day, no matter how bad, can be brightened up with a rubber dinosaur or shark. (I didn't realize until after I took this picture that someone had arranged the sharks in a feeding frenzy, which just makes this day even better).

"The passing of time" (2023), Jess Allen

A painting of a woman laying on a couch with her back turned to the viewer. She's propped up on pillows and reading a book. The sunlight from the window is landing on her and the book and the floor. It's a beautiful playing of shadow and light of very normal everyday experience.

Our landlord is currently up in our attic trying to evict the family of raccoons who moved in. If Guardians of the Galaxy taught us anything, it's that they should've brought an mp3 player and a rocket launcher.

Kicki Edgren, Swedish (b. 1972), w/thanks to Diego Dal Medico

Powerful image of a woman seemingly standing in front of a fence. She is wearing a light blue dress and her arms are up in a defensive position in front of her face. Her eyes are closed. There are traces of red pain on different parts of her. There is a splash of yellow in the bottom right corner, and into the fence seems engraved "is it only me".

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Here's a fun game. Which cat is super sweet and cuddly, but also will run and hide if you sneeze or someone new comes over... and which one is fearless and had to be rescued from INSIDE THE FREAKING HEATING DUCTS where they were obviously hunting monsters and mountain lions (as one does).

A picture of two cats - a skittish looking skinny black cat with gold eyes, and behind them, a steely eyed looking orange and white cat who looks like they are about to take over the world.

I have a family member who has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. We didn't know the signs to look for (regular falls due to blood pressure spikes/drops, difficulty with tasks, memory problems, rigidity/tremors, missing words, etc.) We thought it was aging, and missed the patterns of LBD. 😔

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.
