my weirdest hobby is re-creating memes in html so i have a crisp, HQ version of them to use and edit whenever i need

They’re distracting a nervous dog during a blood draw.

was feeling shit after my compsci exam yesterday, drew alinua of @comicaurora fame in a lehenga to cope (inspiration and reference photo taken from Studio East6 :3)

I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

you've probably heard it before, but half-assed is better than no-assed. don't let perfect stand in the way of done. a 0 on your report card is worse than a 50. do it scared. do it wrong. do it ugly, just do it. do not wait for the perfect day to have your little treat. make a day better with the treat. life is for the living. make outsider art

i don’t know how to tell people that deriving pleasure - sexual pleasure included! - from art* is good actually, and that creating specific kind of art “just” because you find it hot or whatever is just as good a reason as any, and you don’t actually need some “deep and meaningful” reason to create art about things. pleasure - sexual pleasure included - is not the devil, it is not Bad and shameful, and it’s not any less valid of a reason to create something than because you want to, idk, explore the depths of the human consciousness or something

* art here includes writing

I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience

Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt

weird little dudes

reblog if you agree and/or get the reference

reblog if you enjoy napping, being cozy, being conked out, snoozing, wrapping up in blankets, sipping a hot drink, catching some z's, hugging a plushie, or otherwise relaxing and resting

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

who uses bookmarks. i flip through the pages and remember my spot like god intended

I've lived in NYC before, where my fam picked up what we call "New Yorking it". We're very serious about being safe (especially since where we live rn has some of the worst drivers we've seen aside from Boston); but if it's clear that it's safe, and if we're in a hurry, we New York it.

Bc in NYC, chances are that the cars aren't moving and/or they'll yield to pedestrians no problem, bc it's an actually walkable city.

So people just cross the road here? Like they don't wait for the light every time? When I was a kid everyone told me that if I jaywalked I would get run over. I was walking around yesterday and a bunch of people just jaywalked right in front of cop. The cop was doing something else but wtf! If you are from Boston could you please explain this to me.

pleaaaaaase y'all the process of having a manufacturing facility declared kosher has nothing to do with a rabbi blessing the food

pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase stop

you can literally google what is required

I'm convinced that there's no such thing as truly "good" or "bad" art. Just art that exists, and art that doesn't yet.

Hi Neil! Do you think that anyone can write?

I'm not even convinced that I can write. But I keep doing it anyway, and it seems to work.

Sometimes it's helpful to try again specifically to figure out why the previous attempt failed. More than once (especially in dance) have I gone through an attempt slower than the previous time, specifically so that I can look out for what happened to make the first one go wrong. It's very helpful, would recommend.
