terrified of people

😧

translation: i fucking hate trans women specifically but i cant say that so ima say essentially "males" except slyly make it obvious i dont mean cis men at all. teehee!!!

When I was selling mattresses the first time I worked with my buddy Josh. He came in to work one day with a homemade burger his wife had made. This was a huge production of burgerness spread across the backroom table like it was an altar. There was a whole array of containers holding different ingredients like avocado, bacon, sauces, the buns, the patty. It was beautiful.

When he warmed it up and was assembling I was drifting to the back room like a Looney Toon, following my nose to see what smelled so good.

I saw his meticulous burger and begged, “Can I have a bite?”

“No.”

“It smells so good. This is illegal, share one bite…”

“No.”

I pouted and wheedled but he was resolute. I went away unfulfilled.

Later that week I was lounging in the back eating a container of cut up pineapple and Josh strolled in and casually pilfered a slice of my fruit. I was outraged.

“You wouldn’t share any burger but you just stole some of my food!”

“This is cut up already, it’s meant for sharing. If you had some of my burger you could have given me something.”

“Oh like what, my cooties?”

“I might have caught the gay!”

There was a beat as I stared into this audacious straight man’s eyes before I gave in and doubled over laughing.

I think it's because you're afraid to care.

The blurb said the shot was taken in Granada, Spain, by Agneta Fondén.  No other info, so I have no idea how old, etc.  There's a game (from 1988) that uses a similar pattern on one of its pieces, but this could predate it by at least a thousand years  — or not.  But the pattern intrigued me, so I made a texture map and used Blender's geometry nodes (no generative AI) to set up a hexagon grid with random rotations for the tiles:

That's all done with a single design:

You'd think this would have a name, right?  (For its historical use as an architectural / decor tile — although I've found out more about its use in games, that's not what I'm looking for.)  Like the Penroses do (and no, it's not one of those).  But I've had no luck finding it, or any other info.  Any (human only, please) help?
