illustration-turned-weaving-turned-quilt, inspired by elm bark beetle feeding galleries in fallen elm trees I often see on my hikes. They are responsible for spreading the fungus that causes dutch elm disease. I traced the pattern with my free motion foot to quilt, and the puffiness of the shapes turned almost topographical in the process.

I don't know why, but I like the idea of humans being to aliens, what cats are to humans...

Alien1: hey, when did you hire a human?

Alien 2: we didn't. They just wandered aboard one day, saying they wanted to "hitch a ride." Then they never left. I think they like it here.

Alien 1: the human distribution system has chosen.

Alien stares at the human, who has climbed up a very high shelving unit.

Alien: Human, get down before you hurt yourself.

The humans response is to climb higher.

Alien is secretly filming their human, who is spaced out and just staring at nothing.

Alien (whispering): I think the human is about to intercept the brain cell. (Laughter) don't worry human, if it tingles that means it's working.

@thatquietkid108 don't hide good stuff in the tags.

@phoomwhoosh another good addition

People, you can add to this. You don't have to hide stuff in the tags.

Alien 1: Oh, you guys have a human?

Alien 2: Yeah, they're a rescue.

Human (Looking dead inside from having to explain this a hundred times a day): I didn't have anywhere to stay and they offered to rent me their spare room!

When the shows of affection are mildly anoying to aliens

Human: *hug *

Alien: ummmm *frozen in place, uncomfy*

In movie night, it's late and the human fell asleep on top of someone

Alien1: *whispering* what do i do???

Alien2: *olso whispering* i'm sorry, my friend, you are traped for eternity

(Because humans can mimic cats, and cats can mimic humans -a little-)

Aliens picking up human cries, the same way humans can mimic cat cries.

*human is minding their own business*

Alien: hEy cOmE OvER hERe!

*human stares in both fear, curiosity, and pride before obeying the instruction.*

*alien is filming this for space-tiktok*: Oh my gods! It worked!

Humans able to mimic the noise the aliens make.

Human: HeLLooooo, aRRREeee yOOUU CoMmInNNNnnn???!!!

Alien: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!

Human *now speaking their own language*: Roooow weerriy!

Alien: "Oh my stars you guys won't believe this. My human has a south galactic accent just look at this!"

sometimes my friends send me good reels

(op)

You spend such a long time chasing each other in and out of villages and spitting and dodging fireballs, you get to be pretty good friends.

Eddie stands at the bar, sipping at the whisky in his glass, eyes flickering over the crush of bodies and dark mahogany. He's at a premier party at TIFF, doesn't remember what movie it's for, is supposed to "mingle" according to his agent. And sure, he's charismatic, got a big personality and a loud mouth, but he's not good at networking; resents having to perform when he's not playing a role. Resents it more that he's an Oscar nominated actor, that his work doesn't stand for itself.

And then there's the Steve Harrington of it all. Heartthrob. America's Sweetheart. The boy next door. He's across the room, deep in conversation, but his eyes--they keep finding Eddie, scanning him with unmistakable heat.

They starred in a movie called Dying on the Pass. Played life-long best friends who became elite chefs and opened a restaurant together. The movie follows the dissolution of their friendship as the stresses of pursuing a Michelin Star drive them apart. It was a critical and commercial hit, cue awards noms, and offers pouring in, and--

Steve Harrington is his bed.

i recently heard @/arominviolins (on instagram) perform this song about archaic floral gay slang and i was obsessed

@tiger-in-the-flightdeck if you haven't seen these yet you might appreciate them...

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

Since the minimum is so low, this is a great place to put the last of a prepaid card, don't just give it back to the card company by tossing it with money still on it! Even a dollar can do good!

Seriously they release new animals every week what the hell is this

Like an utter fool I let both World Unicorn Day and National Farm Animal Day go by this week and didn’t post any unicorns or farm animals. Those two things are basically all I draw. Unforgivable. Please accept these apology ungulates.
