I want to do a real fundraiser but I'm exhausted so y'all get this.

My wife is currently on hospice with brain cancer. I am very poor and trying to manage the cost of living in San Francisco for however long I have to be here. I can't leave her. Please help if you're able. Thank you.

Comic book character whose head is a giant flower: “woe, I don’t even have reproductive organs anymore.”

Me: buddy, your entire head is a reproductive organ. What you need are some bees. Maybe a beetle. Or a hummingbird. Bat? Idk what you’re into.

Tracing and copying are extremely valid and effective ways to learn to make art, and references are used commonly at the professional level; discouraging/not representing these practices is part of the reason we have AI "art" bros

one of the downsides of dating a musician: you'll just be waking up as normal, stumble crusty-eyed and delirious into the bathroom, and then discover that your gf has replaced the toilet with the original 12" club mix (GARAGE CLASSIC) of the toilet

hey yall, my fridge was ruined by a power outage while I was away doing hospice care, and my building is taking a while to replace it. I am burning through all my money (and energy) trying to stay fed. $15ish dollars buys me a meal. Please help.

3 women (one older, two younger) are standing around the slick shot arcade cabinet. a young dude is playing (the control is a pool cue and a stationary ball on what looks like a section of pool table). the woman on the right of the table is also holding a pool cue. the screen shows a top down view of the table you are playing on with a diamond configuration of balls (8 ball).

Have you ever seen the genuinely fantastic Japanese box art for this game? The package designer took a look at this funny skeleton with a guitar and went, "Hey that kinda reminds me of the Grateful Dead" and ran with it

Japanese box art for Mr. Bones on the Sega Saturn, borrowing many motifs from Grateful Dead posters and iconography, juxtaposing the game's own skeleton imagery with roses, ornate borders and rainbow gradients.

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.

jazz clown

A clown stands in a room, wearing sunglasses and doing a weird motion where he squats and raises an arm. Someone from the audience yells "do something funny." The clown replies "I'm not that kind of clown, man"

He yawns and looks down from his sunglasses and says "this is jazz clowning. It's about playing with the expectation that there should be a joke, and finding humor in that dissonance itself."

The clown, smoking a cigarette, says "we're getting real far out there-"
He pulls the cigarette from his lips, "we're using clowning as a vehicle to get to the raw animal truth-"

A tennis ball from the audience hits the clown in the head, knocking his sunglasses off, and his cigarette out of his mouth.

The audience laughs as the clown looks dejected.

The clown pulls a balloon animal balloon from his pocket and starts stretching it, asking "wanna see how many balloons it'd take to make a good noose?"

“Yes,” said Frog, reaching for a cookie, “we need will power.”

“What is will power?” asked Toad.

“Will power is trying hard not to do something you really want to do,” said Frog.

Frog stands with two cookies, one in each hand.
