@starkatt "What is here is dangerous and very pretty to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location… it increases toward a center… the center of danger is here… of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours, because glitter sticks around fucking forever.
The danger is to the body, and it can severely inconvenience."
I can't stop thinking about Worldburners Unite. Putting bagpipes in a punk track is a baller move. Also Seeming still owns my soul.

I wanted to make a "we considered ourselves a powerful civilization" joke when I spilled glitter everywhere on Sunday, but somehow couldn't quite pull it together.
I'm still disappointed in myself.
Another single comic page that substantively changed my life:
Saying "thank you" instead of "I'm sorry"

Seriously, I've adopted this change and it's incredibly good.
For those unfamiliar, it's really cool!

I love how someone in 2007 set their flickr name to "login" so now https://flickr.com/login still just goes to this one random person's page... and because of that, all their pictures have like, for example, 13,000+ views and 2 likes: https://www.flickr.com/photos/login/8114970036/in/dateposted/
This multipart video essay / documentary on The Hobbit and its production and failures is absolutely incredible and includes some stunning plot twists.
Long but super worth it if you're interested in film criticism or media production. Lindsey Ellis is a master of what she does.

Green: *Meditates peacefully in a clearing in the forest*
Black: *Staggers into the clearing, covered in moss* "GREEN, WHAT THE FUCK!"
Green: *Continues meditating, gives no sign of awareness of Blacks presence*
Black, slowly limping closer, the moss growing and covering their body: "There was mold on my zombies, Green! I worked hard to raise those zombies. I had to make sacrifices. And then you just go and grow mold all over them, take them to pieces!"
Green: *Still Meditating*
Black: "What is wrong with you? Don't you have any respect for other peoples hard work? For their struggle? You think your bugs and your weeds give you license to do whatever you want?"
Green: *Still Meditating*
Black: *Pulls out really evil looking dagger with one hand while other arm breaks off, completely covered in mold* "You never let me have anything! Everything I try and make, you destroy! My mines collapse, my slaves escape into the forest, you grow mold on my zombies."
Green: *Still Meditating*
Black, almost completely covered in mold, beside their face and the hand with the dagger: "Why can't you just let me win for once! Let me have my dark empire, my grand castles, my legion of zombies? " *tries to jump at and stab Green, but their feet are bound to the ground with moss. They collapse, just short of being able to reach Green, as the moss consumes their hand and their weapon.
Green: *Still Meditating*
Black, choking out a few last words as the moss covers their face: "Mold on my zombies. You motherfucker."
