most deadly places on earth be like, bermuda triangle, heartlands of siberia, sahara desert, place de la concorde at night

#love Paris but nothing but hatred in my heart for place de la concorde #empty. soulless. chaotic. traffic everywhere. traversing at night is a suicide mission.#curry rambles #jesus christ put some greenery on that thing

The Wikipedia article for "wink" has four different images illustrating winking and they're all slightly oddball choices, they're all a bit wacky. Go check it out if that sounds like something you'd enjoy seeing. If I see anything else interesting I'll let you know.

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!
