“WHEN FUNGI AND ARTHROPODS RULED THE EARTH”

WELCOME… TO THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THIS PLANET PARK!

* soaring John Williams, etc etc*

Forget actually eating these cookies, I’m just gonna crack the wrapper and get a huge sugar buzz from the fumes. The Spice is in everything, changing my consciousness, whooooa.

Sadly Devil’s Night is Monday, but I *probably* can’t get people interested in getting together to watch The Crow and eat hot dogs anyway.

Things you can sing in place of “My Sharona,” number 47; “Kaprosuchus.”

here's the deal; a leftist, no matter how radical, no matter how much they might stomp all over my toes (and yes this happens!), basically wants the same stuff I do. I have NEVER run into someone complaining about "wokeness" or using the term "woke" to describe their political adversaries with whom I could find any commonality whatsoever.

“WELCOME… TO THORACIC PARK!”

* majestic torsos wobble across the landscape *
* soaring John Williams *

man I really really want my debit card to show up, and "so I can get cash out and use that to buy more edibles" is only *part* of why.

in case there's Irish Mastodon;

I ran into a neat drawing which pointed me towards vampire folklore I didn't know, BUT that prominently mentions "Strongbow's Tree" in Co. Wexford. I already knew about RIchard de Clare, "Strongbow," because of his invasion/alliance with Dermot McMurrough, but is the tree in any way connected to him? Everything I can find is about the vampire folklore!

some different things I've been thinking about coming together.

I started out thinking about the claim that AI makes art accessible to the disabled, and how I draw with the hand I nearly lost (in fact, how I was trained to hold stuff tightly screwed with my drawings for years, and I had to re-learn that in turn). But honestly, what really made the difference with art for me wasn't a plagarism machine or even savvy physical therapy, but praise or encouragement at the right time, and being interested enough to keep going when I suck. If I have an inborn anything it's the "this interests me," not whatever "artistic talent" is.

I think a lot of the AI "artists" want the compliments connected to the highly polished stuff, there's never a stage where you put stuff on paper and it just sucks or even it's good but kinda bland without color or a background. Intersects with this myth about talent, learned hopelessness that if I can't make it look really great now, I'll never be able to make it look really great. None of the really shitty drawings or off days get to count at all.

And THIS part, I understand buying into several hundred percent. I was discouraged from drawing as a kid, and now that I'm no longer right in the middle of my-art-sucks-and-I'm-a-miserable-failure, I can more clearly see how that internal talk echoes that earlier discouragement.

down down under West Virginia
down down in the pitch-black earth
down down underneath, she cried,
"my love is somewhere in that mountain"

#SongLyrics

oh YEAH Pyretta Blaze, definitely the best song on the album

no wait this is World Coming Down, which is INCREDIBLY good

PETER STEELE: Everyone I love is dead!
PETER'S BANDMATES: Hey wait
PETER STEELE: I didn't mean it that way guys, here... you're nightmare creatures dwelling in a twilight realm of neither death nor truly living, and I love you very much.
PETER'S BANDMATES: We love you too!

and they're only gonna change this place
by killing everybody in the human race
and they would kill me for a cigarette
but I don't even want to die just yet

NOTHING can stop me now cause I'm the Duke of Earl! (M Evil Outsider, 136 hp, 20 HD, AC 22, DR 5/DR 3 fire, electricity, acid, cold)

it's time for the Horrifying Furry Bloodbath song!

one of the best covers out there in general. Alav ha shalom, Toots, you're missed.

"Which did you like better, Jedi or The Empire Strikes Back?"
"Empire"
"Blasphemy!"
"Empire had a better ending. Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett, it ends on such a down note. That's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a buncha muppets!"

know what time it is?

it's time to JIZZ! OH YEAH!
