immaculate paperback selection at the rental house where we celebrated my sweet mom's birthday

A shelf full of worn, much-read mass-market paperbacks stacked in piles. There are several titles by Anne Rice, V.C. Andrews, and J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as a number of Conan the Barbarian stories.

these carrots are in love

Two carrots on a cutting board. While underground they grew wrapped around each other in such a way that the pattern-seeking ape brain might interpret as a romantic embrace.

lol forgot I already mentioned I was reading this book. anyway what the fuuuuuck are we doing here

Section of a print book page that says: Throughout his life he seemed incapable of taking offense at even the most outrageous slanders, even when their source was a figure as incendiary as Friar Savonarola, whom we shall encounter later. His reputation has suffered permanently from his indifference to an anonymous pamphlet that appeared a few years before his death and declared him to be a "monster" and "an abyss of vice" under whose influence "the bestiality of Nero and Caligula are surpassed." The ease with which he laughed such things off, brushing aside the complaints of relatives who urged him to forbid their circulation and punish the parties responsible, shows one of the most attractive sides of his personality. It has also, however, freed other writers to come to the unwarranted assumption that Rodrigo failed to defend himself because he knew his conduct to be indefensible. This encouraged further and more specific slanders- for example, the preposterous assertion of the Florentine historian Francesco Guicciardini(who was still twenty-three years from being born when the Siena garden party took place) that Rodrigo was "mightily lustful of both sexes, publicly keeping boys and girls, but mostly girls."

Section of a book page that says: All his life Rodrigo had an almost childish love of pomp, ceremony, and public splendor, and he agreed with the popes he served that it was part of a cardinal's duty both to maintain the dignity of the college by maintaining a splendid front and to help make Rome the most magnificent city in the world. He could be reckless in his spending for such purposes. on Palm Sunday 1461, when all Rome turned out for the arrival of what was supposedly the long-lost head of the apostle Andrew, St. Peter's brother, Rodrigo became the talk of the town by turning not only his own palace but its surroundings into a display of magnificent extravagance. Pius II in his memoirs, after describing the contributions to the celebration by other cardinals and dignitaries, notes delightedly that "all were far outstripped in expense and effort and ingenuity by Rodrigo, the vice-chancellor. His huge towering house which he had (end of page)

Section of a book page that says: He had decorated not only his own house but those nearby, so that the square all about them seemed a kind of park filled with sweet songs and sounds, or a great palace gleaming with gold such as they say Nero's palace was."
If all this was wasteful, it had the ecstatic approval of the man to whom Rodrigo owed his position and his income. If it was foolish, it was also expected- practically required. If it was self-serving in the sense of enhancing Rodrigo's prestige in an era when it was considered shameful for holders of high office not to indulge in ostentatious display, it also carries a note of generosity. Certainly it was not the mark of a greedy, still less a miserly, man. And behind these bursts of ostentation, Rodrigo lived simply, even abstemiously. It comes as a surprise to learn that associates regarded it as a misfortune to be a guest at his table. The fare was so plain, Ferrara's ambassador reported, that "it is disagreeable to have to dine with him." So much for bacchanalian feasts.
The word that sums up Rodrigo Borgia is gusto. He loved life, enjoyed people, and found satisfaction even in the most challenging duties, but he was capable of also putting the cares of his work out of mind whenever time permitted. Zest would suit him also. And joie de vivre.

I'll be following the selection process for the new pope the same way I’ll half-assedly check in during the world series if a team from a city where I used to live is playing

an unofficial chart depicting likely candidates for the next pope, sorted by relative political ideology: conservative(cardinals Erdo, Burke, Eijk, Ranjith, and Muller), moderate(cardinals Parolin and Turkson), and liberal(cardinals Tagle and Zuppi).

saw a dermatologist and told her my hair's been aggressively falling out for a year now, she was just like "lol yeah it'll do that"

a scribbly black and white comic. Liz is singing "I've got chronic telogen effluvium" and dancing like Michigan J. Frog. On the phone, Liz says "Yeah I dunno I'm this close to just shaving it all off," mom replies "oh honey nooo, hair is sooo important, let me send you some articles... have you tried this supplement yet?" Dad(bald) is saying "do not shave your head. Do NOT shave your head."

my very first procreate drawing, bon apetit

A drawing of myself labeled "What I'm Wearing," January 22 2025, El Sub. Bandanna "hair catcher," glasses and mask "sneeze guards," black tank top "sweat-concealing colors," loose pants "breathable linen," tattoos "conversation pieces," "veiny-ass hands," and sneakers "the vans for bitches who need back support but still want to look cool."

thinking about: cobb houses

Exterior of a romanian cobb house- a small dwelling made of mud and wood. The mud walls are deep golden color and there is snow on the ground.

A two-story cobb house in british columbia, peach-colored, with a second-floor balcony.

a cobb house interior, lit by skylight. The mud walls have been molded into built-in shelves and rounded windowframes, large and small, containing clear and colored glass.

hi new followers, I draw and make comics when life slows down enough, the rest of the time I'm just kinda hanging out here enjoying everyone's posts and doing the internet equivalent of chewing with my mouth open

color illustration of an androgynous figure wrapped in a fur cloak holding a bloody sword as a naked man kneels at their feet. A broken crown is on the ground.

A glob-like cartoon comet shoots across a pink photo background of deep space. Test reads "An undulating light moves through deep dark space."

Pencil drawing of a figure crying a huge cascade of tears. Text reads "You an get used to anything, it's fucking awful."

I think I'm going to pull it off in time though

a portion of an inked black and white comics page depicting a mostly empty interior with big gothic windows and a hardwood floor; a person is lying naked on a tarp while another person crouches over them. The dialogue reads "it just stings a little." "Want me to stop?" "No no, keep going."

I wonder if I will ever not be nauseous again

A pen drawing of a landscape on notebook paper, captioned "Kiger Gorge overlook, Eastern Oregon." There is also a note in the corner that says "At some point in the recent past I became nothing. Not nothing like garbage, or the cold vacuum of space. Nothing like the inside of a soup pot. Like the space contained by the walls of your dearest home. The place where the love goes."

a recent comic page, and some trees- I've had so little energy and focus for drawing lately because my brain has been mush but I've been pretty into just trees and rocks and clouds

a comic page at the tight pencils stage. Small first panel shows a partial moon, large middle panel shows two people undressing outdoors. One says "You brought it right?" and the other says "Yeah, of course." Small third panel of a big seed in the palm of a hand. Fourth panel shows the second person crouching between the first person's open legs, holding the seed.

A pencil drawing of a weeping willow on a hilltop, with a partial moon and stars behind it.
