a fun commission I got to draw

a painting of Mulder and Scully, with Mulder kneeling in front of two cats, and Scully standing nearby with her hands on her hips. Mulder asks the cats "are you extraterrestrials?". one of the cats has a question mark next to its head, the other has a thought bubble with a green alien cat inside it

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two coworkers stand by a desk, drinking coffee. A third coworker, who happens to be a squid, walks past them holding a large stack of thick binders. One of the human coworkers remarks mockingly, “hey Eric. Need an extra hand with that?” Panel 2: the human coworkers start laughing, but are cut off by an on-screen narrator who enters the frame. The narrator says, “Stop.”Panel 3: the narrator is now standing in front of a closeup shot of Eric the squid at his desk looking distraught. The narrator continues, “squid discrimination in the workplace. Know the signs.”

the first half of a parallel image set. sf-a2 miki as she appears in "human", in black and white, is facing towards the camera with her expression visible. she is gazing in dazed awe at a second depiction of herself, in full color, whose face is not visible to the camera. her future self is guiding the hands of her current self into embracing a glowing star.

Sunny: "It's a li'l rough around the edges... but it's home. Has been since I was a baby."

Someone was trying to heal him and someone was trying to harm him and the latter won out in that contest as they almost always do. Murder being so much quicker and easier than medicine.

I watched a video of a man being burned alive in a
hospital tent. The IV still attached to his flailing arm.
Someone was trying to heal him and someone
was trying to harm him and the latter won out in that
contest as they almost always do. Murder being so
much quicker and easier than medicine.
I didn’t actually watch the video. I lied and I’m
sorry about that. I watched maybe five seconds of it
before I had to look away.
How easy that is to do right?
I couldn’t bring myself to watch the whole thing.
I don’t know if he would have wanted us to watch it.
Some of us would want that if it were us and some of us
would not. I suppose I would if I thought it was going
to make a single fucking difference but no picture or
video has made a single fucking difference over this
past year of slaughter. No matter how horrific the
images of suffering captured on film day after day of
man woman child or infant being crushed or burned
or assassinated by bullet there will always be someone
saying that they deserved it. Often most of our elected
officials and the majority of the media. More typically
some random regular person. I don’t think I have
ever read about or watched the death of a civilian
during this genocide without someone saying in the
comments that they had it coming.

I did watch the video from a few months ago of the
young man asking for help from anyone who might be
watching. Trying to explain his predicament. He was
the provider for his family because he is the oldest he
said. He had two sisters and two little brothers and
his parents to take care of he said. He was studying
software engineering he said.
After that I saw a picture of an ice cream
refrigerator with a neat stack of tiny bodies packed
into it. Wrapped in the white cloth shrouds that have
become such a familiar sight all year.
“Here is the children’s favorite ice cream fridge
being their morgue in Gaza,” a Palestinian journalist
posted.
I just looked at her bio.
“Both a human rights activist and journa…

There are people who have kinks involving glasses and there are people who have kinks involving compression stockings, so by the Rule of Three there must be SOMEONE out there who gets hard for RSI wrist braces to complete the "aroused by assistive devices popularly associated with nerds" trifecta.
