I posted links to this before but never put all the pics on here, so here we go. Norse gods in pinup style–entirely started because of the word “Ás”. Not my fault. It had to be done.

(Also on Etsy. Greek version here. Non-pinup Norse goddesses here)

Millennial Sisyphus keeps entering all the information from his resume into the web form, only for it to delete everything when he tries to move to the next page. He just goes back and types it all up again, over and over again, forever, and he never gets a job.

the internet is an inherently haunted place if you think about it like. it's so weird to see long abandoned discussion boards stuck in a snapshot of the past, old conversations between kids from over a decade ago who have now grown into their own lives, obituaries taking the form of half finished profiles. and the silence that fills the gaps between. there's a constant ghostly record of each generation's thoughts, fads, their sense of humour. back when the future was at their fingertips. even stranger, people you used to know exist openly in that space, and they watch you watching them. if you want, deceased musicians can play through your headphones. there's always an underlying sense of reminiscing and time escaping our ever shortening attention spans. what a fuckin graveyard

I read a book that did not exist, and it had an afterward by Bill Nye. "Toronto is the only city in the world where I have been asked to unhook a giraffe from a pier. Why? Because it needed to be done. Science is the practice of looking at the world with rigor, and when you do that, you can't forget people. So let's unhook this giraffe."

Carry a fork with you. If someone tries to rob you, pull the fork out of your pocket and say “thank you, Lord for this meal I’m about to have” and charge at them with the fork
