I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Kinda in love with these tech logos redesigned with a 1980s look by Kostya Petrenko (@kxdgraphics on Instagram). He's got a bunch more, too:

We will see our friends again someday, so we will care for this world they left behind. And I know they will be proud of us.

Hey all I'm looking for work!
I'm experienced in character design and costume for games and film as well as illustration for books and TTRPGS. I'm based out of BC Canada looking for freelance or full time. My portfolio is linked in the first comment, thank you for shares!

I will never have answers. Why did she do it? I am devastated. I am wholly devastated and destroyed and heartbroken.

This is the second suicide I’ve had to grieve this year. I will never have answers. Does it get easier? This last one is not a rhetorical question.

How much you love them, even if society says to save that for your romantic partners.

I am so proud of her for leaving him and starting life again. Reconnecting with old friends that he drove away. I told everyone around me that I had good news for once. She got out!! I am so proud.

She was a scientist and she was neurodivergent and she was so special to me and I worry that in my attempts to be a normal well adjusted human that maybe I didn’t show that to her enough. Maybe setting boundaries and being Reasonable are stupid.

Maybe it’s okay to gush to your friends every day

Wonder if I could’ve reached out more, called her, seen her sooner. Did I do enough? Would it have mattered if I did more? She was sweet and warm and thoughtful and smart and funny and so cool and loved makeup and board games and animals and million other things.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

Useless but fun feature in Demon Tides:
If you idle near a wall, Beebz will start leaning on it.

the gods: for your brilliance and bravery, we grant your one boon. what would you ask of us
me: I want to not have to pee anymore
gods: that's it
me: yeah no it's kind of a hassle, so
gods: you could have anything
me: okay yeah
gods: are you sure
me: super duper yeah
gods: okay. I mean I guess

they're poking fun at how your response is just restating everything previously stated in that thread.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Happy birthday, cool bug

It is a semi-realistic depiction of Hornet from the videogame Silksong dpicted with a humanoid body

Oh hell yeah. I don’t think this is what I was thinking of, but this is equally sick.

I’m almost positive the one I’m thinking of had cars not trains.

There’s an indie dev who is making or made a game that looks like kind of like this with a car that grinds on rails does anyone remember who that is? I lost their account. Not even sure if it was here or the bad place… #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev
