A portrait of the character Essek Thelyss from Critical Role campaign 2. He is a drow with dark purple skin and textured bleach blond hair. His eyes have a pinkish hue with a red pupil. He looks towards the viewer with folded hands, a barely visible smile on his lips with a raised eyebrow.

I am really excited for campaign 4 right now, so naturally I felt nostalgic and ended up drawing this guy again... Essie... 😭

An commission illustration of a heroic dnd group standing before a collage of several major npcs, depicted in dramatic poses. The illustration has a slight gradient that goes from orange into a twilight blue.

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad.

Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scannedβ€”without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communicationsβ€”including sensitive financial, medical, and private dataβ€”to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charterβ€”rights considered core to European democratic values.

False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.

Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safeβ€”by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures.

Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

β€Ό Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! β€Ό

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

Managed regicide as my first ending, but I was so tired when I finished it, that I ended up misreading things... So while Arzu may have been crowned, man,,, at what cost 😭 I love this game, there are so many characters, choices and endings, I rly didn't expect it! My personal GOTY I'm afraid 🫣

The Sultan from the game "Sultan's Game" is lying in a pool of crimson. The view is from above, as he looks up towards the viewer with a content expression, his eyes not visible. Several golden cards fly through the air.

"He was once a ruler of wisdom, cunning and strength. Yet beneath it all lies cruelty, madness, and a chilling indifference: not the work of the Cards, but the unyielding essence of his nature."
