A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity Great swathes of rock music since the nineteen-sixties would never have existed, we're sometimes told, were it not for the recordings of Robert Johnson. Certainly the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Cla...

TELSCHE | Shortverse Set on a surreal plain of salt flats, Telsche is an abstract short film that explores memory and loss, as one girl attempts to remember someone who she has forgotten.

www.shortverse.com/films/telsche 😯 gorgeous animation work by Sophie Colfer and Ala Nunu. Reminds me of the game Journey a little bit.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr

1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

The Migrating Eel I Met on His Way to the Sargasso Sea By Evan Michael Anderson The first time I ever had sex was a Craigslist hookup against the side of a dumpster behind a Taco Bell in Gentilly. He was just passing through on his way to the Bermuda T…

sorry for bad new's my purist

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Met a dog with my dead name today. Uncanny experience

The warning is there because the popcorn companies don't want you to know you can just summon popcorn anytime you want from the microwave itself.

:-( Why do people hate joy and delight

Idk but they are gone!

I know everyone wants to return to normal, but normal fostered this moment. Normal defines this moment. Whatever happens next, however it happens, we need to move forward into a better, abnormal future instead of retreating to a comfortable past that normalized perpetual atrocity.

i was attempting to preserve windfall lungwort lichen for printmaking uses and for fun. i discovered a) yes you can do it and b) a paper bag full of dirty lichen makes your house smell crazy. anyways take a look at my desiccated thallus!!

there's still so much fecundity and enduring beauty in the nonhuman world. let's preserve and treasure it.

I hope the trans women i was mutuals with on Tumblr before the purge are all alive and doing ok. I can picture their faces so clearly but mostly I never knew their names.

If you aren't in love with Swanboy yet...it's kind of like if Achewood in its prime had the icky visual flair of Ralph Steadman and was overflowing with surreal wordplaying one-liners in a trash-magical-realism cartoon universe like if George Herriman was a punk who lived in a dumpster. Good stuff!

FICTION Quote The maw keeps on swallowing; the glands on the line keep extruding mush; the line cooks keep dressing the mush up with cured meat and farm-fresh herbs. Anton, the head chef, says the high-quality animal proteins we feed Nuth-Shoggoth give our Ambrosia a heady nuttiness that sets us apart from the other Shoggoth restaurants in the Loop. end Quote Nights and Weekends in the Shoggoth Loop  by Yri Hansen 30 March 2026 Strange Horizons
