A quick note to all the media covering Minneapolis right now, the Reich called my grandfather and great uncle "protesters" when all they were doing was stopping SS from disappearing their neighbors. So maybe don't be like the Nazi Press unless you are the Nazi Press.

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross.

So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

Screenshot of an art wip featuring my character Amara, a nature fairy with wings, silver long wavy hair, tan skin and glowing white freckles all over her face and body, wearing green dress and gloves/sleeves?? Her right eye is amber and her left eye is green. Nature background with sort of a white frame

Revisiting this wip (on the left) from more than a year ago
Halfway through it I remembered she's supposed to have wings, ah

An illustration of several different species of sharks (a school of sharks, if you will), against a soft blue wavy background. The sharks are, from top to bottom and from left to right: whale shark, great white shark, thresher shark, nurse shark, small-spotted catshark, hammerhead shark, tiger shark, basking shark and lemon shark. They are all swimming very happily, surrounded by beautiful sea stars!

With names!

just looked into this—the measurements we had listed on the button dress before were the physical measurements of the garment, which has a boxy fit that gets cinched, so they didn’t reflect the recommended fit. we’ve updated the fit guide and size charts and i’ve added this little graphic to help.

Holy shit the end of ep 127 of TMA said *so* much. Glad im listening again or I never wouldve caught it omg

Supergiant soundtracks make me feel so alive

I feel like im triggering myself but at the same time discord doesnt have proper block features and im a tech and admin so like... my messages have to be seen. But... why can i click to see theirs? Not why, cus it does make sense... but... theres got to be a better way, right?

4 Halsin themed stamps I illustrated and designed. #Halsin #bg3

Been really into S&D Tier on tiktok lately. Ive been around for a lot of it but only recently found out that theres a discord. Ive written a few small fanfics and am working on a drawing for a longer fanfic for the series Im so fucking grateful for this hypetfixation and the happiness its granted me

My cat still has minor ear drainage issues, but for the most part I think its recovered. Still keeping an eye on it just in case, bc i love my giant lil man. He helps me love life

I overdid it the final week of artfight and have been back and forth recovering ever since + other health issues acting up. Eventually I'll post the attacks i did

I just found Settings > Privacy > Social Features / Messaging and shut that down

the most comfortable petticoat you’ll ever wear could be yours!! …if my petticoat preorder gets fully funded. unfortunately, right now preorders for my size inclusive, ethically made petticoats aren’t doing well. 😭

Ive been playing bg3 for the first time and I gotta say, Lae'zel's expressions are spot on with every righteous emotion she has

preview of a sticker of a cartoon gray striped cat holding a knife. the caption reads "yeah i have stability, ability to stab"

preview of a sticker of a cartoon striped cat holding standing with a blank expression. there's a faded copy of the cat where it's screaming with a red gradient. the caption reads "internal screaming"

my mood lately

no one cares that this is illegal but it is illegal and seems like something that might trip the court’s “major questions” doctrine

Illustration from a while ago for a book about Chinese mythology

A digital illustration of an Igorot farmer meeting a group of star maidens. He is kneeling to fetch water with a pot in one hand, while a star maiden grabs at his other arm. She looks at him intently. The other maidens look at him with curiosity. They all have everlasting flowers or Benguet lilies in their hair. They are surrounded by lily pads, silvergrass and gabi. The painting is referenced from John William Waterhouse's Hylas and the Nymphs.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.

as an artist who draws commissions, i'll take "badly" scribbled pencil sketches on lined paper over a¡ generated references ANY DAY OF THE WEEK

Honestly the best and only tip I can give people who want to get others to care about their OCs is to be ten times as insane about them themselves. That's it. You gotta care. Gotta make them and write them with love and feral drive that's a little scary sometimes. The passion will inspire others.

Genetically speaking, humans are more closely related to mushrooms than they are to their first cousins.

People who eat mushrooms should be put in jail.

Thank you so much for your support!! 💕💖😭
There are still a few pieces left 💕

yeah that’s cool 🙂

WOOHOO IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! 🥳❤️✨

Fun fact, all my OCs have their birthday today too, so happy birthday Larie and Nina!!!

It would mean the world to me if you shared my art today 🥰❤️❤️
