the final boss of these is "fazed/unfazed"

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Hockey is an amazing sport, Aptonym Edition.

PLAYBOHZ will start going out this week! They look absolutely gorgeous. They can still be ordered here, I have JUST A FEW copies left: playbohz.bigcartel.com/product/play...

I'll say what was said when rainbow capitalism started falling out: the presence of RC doesn't necessarily mean anything, but its absence certainly does. corporations don't do this shit if they think it's in any way unprofitable.

nobody finishes a book and concludes “that was great; now I shall never read another one.” other writers are your teammates and coworkers, not your competition.

Hope your day was better than Darwin’s, on this day 165 years ago

Like. Okay you guys I need you to understand that this game was more or less a play by play of the "games" I've been affectionately making fun of in HR fic written by people who have never watched hockey. It was 5-0 halfway through *the second period*

LAST DAY to pre-order this zine!!! Please support it if you can! We worked hard on it!!! Plus, you get so many images of sexy women!

It is not easy being a modern human. I hope better times find us all 💙

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Alright, I’m going to plug my tip jar again. I post my art and writing for FREE, and I always have outside of a brief stint with Patreon years ago (where all my art got ripped and torrented, which was lovely). Toss a coin to your Tabbie, who feels super unappreciated right now: ko-fi.com/tabbiewolf/

Only a few more days to pre-order this year's PLAYBOHZ zine! This is *extremely* limited edition :) 29 artists, 64 pages, women women women! playbohz.bigcartel.com/product/play...

It really irks me when people share their 300, 600, 1000 day Duolingo streaks but still don't know how to use Japanese. Here's an explanation for why apps like Duolingo don't work for learning to any fluency. jtalkonline.com/why-apps-lik...

I'll won't believe that AI swarms have attained human-level intelligence until the Anthropic Chatbots' Front splits from the Agentic Chatbots' Front while angrily and publicly denouncing the Chatbots' Front of Anthropic.

I love how passive-aggressive the Words of the Week from @merriam-webster.com are. they're not saying anything, but they're always *saying* something

this tweet is NINE years old and is still the best trans rights policy advice out there

y'all should push for Universal Basic Income 'cuz artists that aren't stressin' over rent and groceries and taxes all the time WILL draw freakier, more unmarketable shit

Not to brag, but our product has been foldable since 1828.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Including the Forbidden Samurai version

#snektember Dunno if I'll actually do it but I made a list #SeptemberArtPrompts #ArtPrompts

Are they going to put up a lil rope with buoys down the middle and signs also? "Lake America" on one side "Lake Ontario" on the other. (Oh, presumably if it's anything like the wall, Canada will pay for that... ;P)

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

The first known use of 'nine-to-five' as an adjective was in 1927. The first known use of 'nine-to-five' as a noun was in 1975.

lots of incredibly named entomologists out there, Vincent Wigglesworth etc, but Bob Bugbee might be my new favorite

Okay, genuine question: does anyone want Zenigata mousepads or gang plushies? I’m pondering putting another order in. (Plushies are $15, mousepad is $30. Plus shipping.)

Life just be that way all the time 🙃

I was literally JUST doing a talk about this with @mcmanlypants.bsky.social an hour ago! The thing is that the Rockies are so much bigger than you that they don’t notice if you exist. But the Appalachians are so much older than you that if they notice you, bad shit’s about to go down.
