The whole photo is gold but I especially like that the automated feeder is taped to the fucking floor.

I Will Get The Light Back In My Eyes in 2026

you've gotta be kind to yourself no matter what

this is twice as true in the winter

the world isn't ending and you don't need to kill yourself it's literally december. it's december. and you need to be nice to yourself.

"I hate gouache" "gouache is so hard to use" gouache is incredibly forgiving. not as overly forgiving as oils, not as fast paced as acrylic or acrylic gouache or as meticulous and layered as watercolor, but pliable and revivable and perfectly pigmented. she is your friend. she is a friend to practically every other medium and wants to help you. fuck the gouache haters. if gouache has 1000 fans, I'm one of them. if gouache has only one fan, it's me. if gouache has 0 fans then I'm dead.

that png of the apple that's getting passed around here really bothers me. the one with all the stickers plastered over it. like it's clearly a sculpture and the graphic design on the stickers having them all work as biblical references while still looking like stickers for fruit companies is such an interesting commentary on consumption of christianity and specifically (with the context of this being a supermarket apple) heavy secularization of the concept of sin until it's consumed thoughtlessly. and now the work, which is very intentional, is being passed around thoughtlessly...come on

Could i not have seen that before Christmas? Anyway, queueing this for next december to save a life.

This is how they wrap surgical sets before sterilizing them (in a cloth not paper...god I wosh the cloth is a pain in the ass) except when they tuck the last bit in, they fold it over so the end is poking out of the box (like a pull tab).

toger we can achieve anything

Okay, but a lot of books would be that long if you laid the pages out

the average printed page is 6 inches wide. so if a book is 128 pages, its 64 ft long. I dont think I own a book with fewer than 128 pages.

It's honestly not that impressive at all. Fuck Imhotep and his pathetic short book.
