It's true.

IDK, I also know that the freeways coming through killed a lot of the small towns around here, so it's a mixed bag one way or another.

I just like the idea of being in Houston in under an hour from Texarkana. Would get me out of this corner of the Piney woods way more often.

Gold just hit an all time high.

In case you were wondering if we're "Oh we're FUCKED fucked?":

Yes.

Archarzel @archarzel.bsky.social · Apr 22

If you didn't grow up in a place where gold mining is still a thing; you'd be forgiven for not knowing-

If the price of gold is UP, it's almost NEVER because the gold is being valued higher:

It's because the dollar is crashing.

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom.

Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings.

Hello, #PortfolioDay!

I'm Katina, a dabbling digital and linoprint artist from the Pacific Northwest. I'm still working on defining my style and building my portfolio, but here are some examples of my work. Thanks so much for stopping by!

🌐 evergreenphoenixshop.com
📧 [email protected]

A row of papers hanging from a wooden drying rack. The papers are printed with a design that says "SUPPORT HUMAN ARTISTS!" along with a raised fist, brandishing a pencil. The design is printed in a dark green ink on white paper.

A digital portrait of the artist on a bi flag background (pink, purple, and blue.) The subject has curly brown hair, brown eyes, and purple-rimmed glasses. She's wearing a purple moon necklace and a black shirt, with a slight smirk on her face.

The top right quadrant of the image is dominated by a linocut print of a bowl of ramen on a piece of white paper. In the bottom left, covering up a corner of the print, is a blue bowl containing actual ramen. Along with the ramen is some ham, some chives, and a boiled egg cut in half, to mirror the artwork. The bowl and the print both sit upon a Asian inspired fabric of black with red and gold circular and scale pattern designs.

An illustration of two men dancing under the moonlight aboard a ship, holding a sword above their heads. One man has short blond hair, and he wears teal-hued clothes. The second man has longer salt and pepper hair and a beard, he wears black pants and a purple shirt. They are Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death.

The whole thing completely ignored that most of EC's customers were soldiers, that's where the demand came from and god forbid parents raise their children, even way back then.

It's not that I don't like kids or anything, I just am not particularly fit to create art for them. My instincts lean pretty hard toward the edgy or not for kids type shit.

See, I can't even make a post about it without cussing. I'm dreadful. Thank goodness I got mine 99% raised.
