Love this freaky little mask so much. We'll see how long it takes me to color this lol

Fan art of Bolaire from Critical Role Campaign 4. A man wearing a huge wig, fancy clothes and an uncanny mask delicately holds a scalpel near where the mask meets his jaw. A photo of the ink lines for Bolaire drawn without color from further away.

Mariah Carey's current press tour is making me a fan, I think her personality shines more in online spaces than it was able to in the 90s-00s celebrity environment

I am extremely pleased with how this chandelier turned out and even more proud that I made it myself! Learning how electricity worked took some brainstorming but it was well worth the effort to have such a beautiful custom lamp in my living room.
A large piece of driftwood hangs from a ceiling with five pendant lightbulbs hanging at irregular lengths below it. The five lights are shaded with light blue glass and cast many shadows from the driftwood onto the ceiling. The driftwood chandelier from further away to show how it looks hanging above two small couches, a coffee table, and a number of house plants in front of three large windows.

Janus, a genderqueer illustration.
Black and white ink illustration of two genderqueer bodies overlapping. Both figures are connected by the side of their faced in the center as their bodies split into one wearing a chest binder and one wearing a lacy bra. Their skin splits open below their garments revealing ribs, bones, spinning intestines and a single heart floating in front, connecting the two bodies. The figure wearing the bra holds black willow branches and the figure wearing the binder holds white oak branches.

For all the grandstanding, Democrats have been nowhere to be seen on the ground in Minnesota. The work there is being done by leftist groups, immigrants rights orgs, and random citizens. Took Walz almost a week to visit Good's memorial. Democrats do not functionally exist in the conversation anymore

I don't think ICE will be abolished, because doing so would force America to admit that black people were right. And there's nothing America loves more than hurting itself to try and spite black people.

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment.

It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec 1), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
