I fear we were too hard on the CD Cenobite. A beautiful creature who really embodied the pain/pleasure of being a dedicated lover of physical media.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

A cross stitch - lilac & white text on black fabric read "the horrors persist but so do we". Additional text reads "fundraiser pattern donations matched to PIRC all weekendStep 1 - donate $5+ to a mutual aid org, immigration support org, or k town for all's vendor buyout 

Step 2 - email me proof at TheGloomyGremlin@gmail.com (DMs get lost too easily)

Step 3 - get your pattern!

Bonus step 4 - I match all donations through the weekend for PIRC

This is a pretty common one, but Don't treat your fellow artists like competition. Not only is it just awesome getting to participate in art communities, but people are more likely to throw jobs your way if they think you would do the same for them 🤝

Generative AI is a scourge only used by losers, pass it on! This month's Patreon cross stitch pattern is available at any paid tier until February 9th, and will be re-released to the main shop in a few months 🖤 #crossstitch #stitchsky
A cross stitch that reads "only losers use AI", with flowers & vibes in dappled green fabric. I'm holding it in front of my bookcase & gallery wall.

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

i avoid commenting on celebrity passings due to the parasociality of the thing but David Lynch was an artist’s artist and a reminder to never explain yourself (when you don’t want to). one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it.

David Lynch is my favorite artists' favorite artist, my favorite writers' favorite writer. Watching Twin Peaks for the first time felt like coming home to the weird, existential, creepy, silly, spooky town of my dreams. Let's all get a damn fine cup of coffee, two cokes & a cookie 💔

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

not sure if some people understand that part of what makes creating so rewarding is the fact that it *is* hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re been painting or writing for 80 years— every piece will have problems that need solving, and few things feel better than figuring it out.

Ok I had to see this so now y’all do to: I just ran into someone touting the “skin benefits” of raw dairy on the basis that “dairy maids were known for their clear skin”. You guys. Dairy maids were known for NOT BEING POCKMARKED. You know why? They didn’t get smallpox as often.

It’s kind of tradition in my friend group for each new member to give a nickname to the next guy who joins, so Greg called Jason “Big Man,” and then Jason called Brian “Brisket,” etc. Unfortunately I came in right after Hidetaka Miyazaki so now I’m “The Pustulant Scab Devourer”

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

KNEEL BEFORE TOPSEY. Postcard from my collection, 1907.
Black and white photo of a very fluffy longhaired grey kitten, sitting up looking so perfectly chonky and friendly. The name Topsey is written beneath the photo, and “Copyright 1907 by H.I. Robbins”. A bow has been painted onto the image to make appear as if Topsey is wearing a ribbon that ties in front.
