there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Whoever says indigo is any kind of purple is full of it…the closest to a purple might be the surface of active vat, but it’s blue blue through and through. Period.

Zara Alfonso Illustration @zaraalfonso.bsky.social · 26/11/2025
I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤 #art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

6 panel comic

P1: A middle-aged besuited --very white-- CEO looking type points at something off-panel,  with aanic look on his face. Drool on his thin lips, he says "THAT CONTENT. I wannit"

P2: A painting of a scowling clown is being held up before us by the CEO, who is off-panel. The meek looking artist --a white guy in glasses, with red hair and beard, says "oh, thank you! I spent a whole year creating this series of-- er..."

P3: The CEO proceeds to stuff the entire painting into his mouth, as the artist looks on in shock.

P4: The CEO --fingers steepled together-- chews the painting with an audible "MRUNCH KRONCH;" a vacant look on his face

P5: Side on view of the CEO and artist, former on left, the other on right. The CEO dwarfs the artist, and stares uncaringly down at him.

P6: the POV pans back to reveal both characters stood in an art gallery, its walls now completely empty of art. The CEO swallows his meal with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Q for bag & purse girlies: I’m in search of a sling/belt type crossbody bag, that is - made of leather - big enough to fit a sketchbook or iPad mini (~5.3x8) - small enough it doesn’t need to be checked at a museum <10”x10” - worn chest or back/no hands - cute

I think Severance S2 E8 is a perfect symbolism for the whole show that it may be a slow burn to start but you will be rewarded for your trust and patience in the end

Hehe haha ranted on TikTok about the overtheorizing and impatience with Severance but cuz no one know my background there they lowkey don’t understand that I do like analysis + narrative storytelling, but a lot of folks are ruining their enjoyment in the solving of story versus the witnessing of it

teju abiola @teju.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Saw a TikTok of someone who said they didn’t give a fuck about the character development and relationships in Severance…they just want answers and don’t like what the writers are doing…we live in different realities…you just don’t like the show!

Bonus Sphinx drawings that I really should continue because they made me laugh really hard
A sphinx with a bow in her hair drinks from a carton of milk with a straw while a harpy rests on her hind quarters. The same sphinx and harpy have a tussle.

QRT with your Sphinx art
A sphinx reclines on a pile of human skulls while drinking a very large movie theater soda. There is a fancy rococo chair behind her, and a cute rug under the skulls. She wears a bow in her hair and on her tail.
