Kind of obsessed with this spooky season scene my 12-year-old painted today.
Acrylic paint on a roughly 8x8-inch canvas. Yellow and brown grass background with a couple of pumpkins and white sheet-style ghosts floating over top.

people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

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.

I always feel weird taking a shower too close to a friend coming over and making them walk into my steam if they need to use the bathroom. I didn't mean to create such a sensual welcome. I was just sweaty from walking my dog earlier.

Anand is the best (and I'm doing an event with him at, yes, @cityartssf.bsky.social Thursday, for his new book Man in the Mirror). Couldn't agree more that cities are refuges or places of last resort for people kicked out of rural/suburban/pseudo-idyllic America.

Ballpoint pen on paper. A man in his PJs is tucked into his bed. He's upset because the bed has been lifted off the ground by a pack of small, mischievous creatures. We can only see 9 of them in the image but there are likely many more since they're all working together to lift the heavy bed frame. As the creatures run with the bed they chant, "hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup." The man in the bed wants no part of this. "Put me down. No more hups," he says. It's unclear where they are going or what is happening. There is no punchline. There is little to no context. You're either with the hup team or you're out. Thank you for reading these.

I have been really taken aback to see both men and women air conspiracy theories, excuses, victim-blaming, denials, strategic distortions of the facts, and everything else to hang onto their attachment to this guy credibly accused of rape...

I am so fucking tired of woman having to stand on a national stage and tear their hearts open and pour their trauma out in front of the entire country. And still not be believed. Or be told it doesn’t matter because we need her assaulter. I’m so tired of it.

There should be a movie called “all cats are big now” where all cats are suddenly 10 feet tall and hunting their owners and Patrick Wilson is a scientist looking at a screen and it shows a graph of cats being small and then big with an arrow pointing at big and he takes off his glasses dramatically

Right now, it seems like the vast majority of people in leadership positions fucking hate the people, the actual humans, they are supposed to be leading, if they even think of them as people. They want to be leaders of wallets.

I'm so tired of watching our cultures be romanticized because we're under attack. "Palestinians are so strong!" "Iranians are so smart!" "Cubans are so kind!" Blocking humanitarian needs is bad! Bombing schools and hospitals is bad! IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE FIT YOUR DEFINITION OF GOOD PEOPLE.

Breaking Away. Gustav Klimt. Seen at the Vienna Museum today. Amazing seeing it up close.
Painting titled Breaking Away by Gustav Klimt. He painted Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom and art. It’s a dark painting with gold on the bodice like gold coins and gold colored face. In the hand is a figurine: Nudas veritas, Naked Truth.

My friend lives in Roxbury NJ where ICE is trying to buy a warehouse to convert into a detention center and she says they’re trying to fight it. Apparently many of the people fighting are Trump supporters who voted for deportations but are worried the concentration camp will ruin property values.
