Yep. And you've gotta DO IT. Commit, lean into it. Make it the best darn (metaphorical or otherwise) bagpipe break you can possibly manage.
Don't wonder if you can or should. Wonder how anyone can even begin to stop you (they can't).

Protip for writers: you want to do the weird thing, you gotta just *do it*
If AC/DC can pull off a *bagpipe break* in It's A Long Way To The Top, you can get us to care about your weird little thing

Take a moment to reset your mind. Contemplate this portrait of a mouse. Each little creature has its own unique and special place in this world. We should care for every living thing and take great pleasure in its creation and individual beauty

Good news from Merck & Moderna. Custom-made mRNA vaccine, now dubbed intismeran autogene (mRNA-4157) + Keytruda linked to 49% lower risk of melanoma relapse or death. My read is that these vaccines have real potential not so much for initial treatment but to keep cancer in remission.
Personalized mRNA Vaccine Reduces Melanoma Relapse at 5 Years
A customized neoantigen vaccine plus checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy lowered the risk of recurrence or death by 49% in a mid-stage trial.

In most art programs, if you hold control/command and click on the thumbnail of a layer, it auto selects /puts an exact ant-line on what’s in that layer.
Artists, QRP with a practical art "hack" you use. Let's share some wit & knowhow.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm an illustrator seeking representation and I'm open to picture book and middle grade projects! I work both traditionally in gouache, and digitally. Check my portfolio linked in my bio for more art!

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

This started out as a plein air painting from the view of my studio window, but the morning light changed to dull gray and snow. The rest was finished from memory, and I purposefully separated some of the marks to make it more mosaic-like.

Let's talk about how "ammonia" (NH₃) gets its name 🧪.
Along the way, we'll talk about Alexander the Great, ancient Egyptian gods & a Roman misunderstanding.
Let's start with these giant CASTLES made for PIGEONS in Siwa, Egypt, a tiny desert town built around an oasis, with 2 dry salt lakes nearby.

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings
Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades.
So maybe reconsider

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

Cover art I designed for a book cover contest (didn’t win but I’m pleased with it). I think it would be really great record art for a Toronto band.

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.
Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.
