Twitter post from May 17, 2021: username Jared Pechacek @vandroidhelsing writes, “dreamed I went to see a movie based on the Iliad and when the ocean appeared in the first shot, the audience went absolutely wild shouting THE WINE DARK SEA! THE WIND DARK SEA!”

If this passage from Harrow the Ninth isn’t enough to start reading The Locked Tomb series, why even read anything honestly

Excerpt from Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir: She opened it, hummocked and humped all over with little rills from being over-folded, and she read:

HIM I’LL KILL QUICK BECAUSE SHE ASKED ME TO AND BECAUSE THST MUCH HE HONESTLY DESERVES BUT YOU TWO MUMMIFIED WIZARD SHITS I WILL BURN AND BURN AND BURN AND BURN UNTIL THERE IS NO TRACE OF YOU LEFT IN THE SHADOW OF MY LONG-LOST NATAL SUN

“It is a drawing of the letter S,” said the deep, solemn voice from over her shoulder, and she realized she had stopped midstride. “The letter in question is constructed from six short marks stacked vertically three by three. There are two triangles on the top and bottom, which, along with some diagonal strokes, form a calligraphic S.”

Quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky 🦋

Galaxy brain meme: 1. “Queer pairings who don’t kiss because ‘they don’t need to kiss for you to know they love each other’” 2. “Queer pairings who don’t kiss because it wouldn’t get past the censors and the fact that it’s shown at all is amazing” 3. “Queer pairings who actually kiss” 4. “Whatever the fuck happened at the end of She-Ra”

A farewell to Camp Rhetoric courtesy of airport radio! You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.

I too have an onion-themed picture from an airport today.

An art wall at the airport with a colorful drawing of a woman at a Mueller counter. Her speech bubble says, “I’ll take a chocolate covered onion, please.”

Screencap of the NYT article linked in the quoted post. Text reads: “An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back and as he lay on the ground. At least 10 shots were fired, killing him. Mr. Pretti had a legal permit to carry a firearm, said the police chief, Brian O’Hara.”

Found out about Cartoonists Against ICE from this beautiful panel in @umurrayhusted.bsky.social’s thread. Reposting with alt text!

A comic panel drawn in light blue depicting a neighborhood; car, biker, and pedestrian with a stroller in the background; bird feeder and two gardeners with a dog in the foreground. Text caption reads: “When the ice melts (because it always does) our gardens will once again be incandescent: plants will be grown with seeds from all over the world.”

Oh, shout out to @utah.edu! Oh. Err. Hm. Closing the Black Cultural Center was a choice the university admin made to try to appease the state lege. The Black Student Union has found ways to continue their work without the school’s support. Students lead the way.
