This is terrible. I never used to see witch collisions, but they're everywhere during their last few seasonal migrations. I blame AI. I think it's fucking with their GPS navigation.

I made a #goretober #kinktober #noncontober #whumptober list for this year! I won’t be sharing my own prompt fills on here since I’m writing them for a private server, but anyone else who wants to use it is welcome to! Pick one prompt each day or see if you can combine them; the choice is yours!

SWORDS AND ICE MAGIC (1977) 
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 24” x 16” 

This cover was for the sixth book in a series by Fritz Leiber featuring the beloved characters Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. 1/4

we must acknowledge the true victims of AI: people who were horny for fictional evil hot AIs back when it was just a cool sci-fi trope

325 #kakapo! The chicks from this year's record breeding season are now juveniles and so have been added to the population. In 1995 there were just 51 kākāpō left. Recovery of critically endangered species _is_ possible with sustained effort. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

He does at least have a legit reason for disliking Spider Man. Or rather people who wear masks. His wife, Joan, was murdered by a masked gunman. His crusade is against people who hide their faces as a way of being able to do whatever they want. So JJJ would be anti-ICE.

im begging mfers to stop asking for an ao3 app, we are in a rising age verification/censorship wave. the last thing we need is ao3 being subjected to that insidious bullshit🫠!

Please join me in supporting this Legal Defense Fund for MN Anti-ICE Organizers! Just like in Chicago, the DOJ is trying to make examples of people who LEGALLY resisted this administration’s reign of terror. (See their story.) Let’s fight back!! chuffed.org/project/1865...

#Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery, but the fight for freedom didn't stop there. After emancipation, formerly enslaved Americans built schools, learned to read and write, and pursued higher education. theconversation.com/juneteenth-r... #edusky

i sat a 4.5+ hour public education policy meeting so i could talk about how much i hate ai for 2 minutes during open comment period. because i hate it that much. and it does not belong in our schools and edtech ppl are GRIFTERS

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

this was a big piece i did for one of my besties ( @evans-endeavors.bsky.social ) last year! of one of his family's dogs (Opal) with a unicorn horn based off of The Unicorn in Captivity tapestry.

As part of its “conduct requirements”, Google must rank search results organically and make free of charge data portability available to third-party businesses.

Yeah, I'll be turning this off now, Google, thanks for nothing

Accurate.

Recording public law enforcement activity is an important way to hold our government accountable. Tell Congress to pass a bill that will defend this essential right.

This is amazing. 'Lumumba vea' indeed, sir.

WOW the response to this has been wonderful so far, thank you everyone! 😭❤️ To those who may not realize it, I have custom requests for these open on my ko-fi! A custom pose, a new dog breed, or simply a flag recolor, all of that is available. 7/10 slots left! ko-fi.com/c/3a27e1add0

Happy Pride, Everyone! This is my latest and largest Pride project to date: Let Your Colors Run! Celebrating pride with ten different hounds, with ten different pride flags! Nothing felt more natural than taking two things that matter so much to me, and bringing them together.

also sometimes people just don't want to see NSFW content without warning being pro-NSFW is both advocating for it AND properly tagging it for folks who don't want to see it (for any reason) just because I don't want to eat what's on their menu doesn't mean i want their table empty, yknow?

#Ghoap #Ghostsoap #Art Ghost has a very important PSA (pigeon service announcement)!

I just went to look up how much rain we got last night, to see if I need to water the new shrub. And the browser simultaneously asked me to turn on my location so it would know where to look while delivering a literal map of my neighborhood with some businesses it thought I would enjoy.

session one of Daggerheart is nearly upon us, so I did a little drawing of Fiadh as a treat 🌊

i will not stand for "larp" becoming the new "poser". there is nothing in this world that requires more genuine unbridled passion in the face of people calling you a total nerd than live-action roleplay

i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities? No? Huh.

this is in fact amazingly good

Some people are responding that "you can't defeat fascism with sportsball" but A People's History of Soccer outlines multiple examples of the sport indirectly effecting change because supporters built a sense of collective solidarity and identity in the face of adversity

The final #kakapo chick (Pearl-4B) from this year's cohort has fledged the nest (defined as roosting outside the nest for the first time). There are 91 chicks alive. They won't be counted towards the population until they're 150 days old. 📸 Petrus Hedman #conservation #kakapo2026 #parrots #birds

the knicks win, thus proving zohran mamdani has the mandate of heaven

Zzzz 🪶 🐣

Stay the fuck away from Namecheap, I guess. This is crazy.

Part of why the "become obsessed with a blorbo to improve at art" thing is true is because they'll make you do shit you normally might not even try Blorbo is a knight in a fantasy series? Welp I guess I gotta learn how to draw armor now Blorbo has a mech? Welp I guess I'm drawing a fucking mech

Brazilian folklore for mermay, fuck yes!!!​

An unusual request in the name of archaeological science: Would anyone happen to have a Shetland or Exmoor pony that wouldn’t mind sending some fur samples to me? We’re trying to compare a potentially preserved fur specimen but there’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) few sources on fur fibre diameters!
