Hail, Venus, on your day + your hour, with the humble, artsy-craftsy Lot of Eros swirling herself across the Midheaven holding the hands of Mars and Mercury behind her, because -- fuck the rules -- LOVE is unconquerable, unrelenting, the most victorious slayer of both unwarded hearts and weary ones

Do I know anyone who knows anyone who makes their own procreate brushes? Iโ€™m trying to make a dynamic brush and Iโ€™m so close but itโ€™s not doing what I feel it should be doing. Anyone I could talk to out there?

Just saw my textbook "Moving Image Workshop" published by @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social included -- **Just a day after getting an email from Bloomsbury asking if I'd like opt-in for sharing for content with AI gen companies.** Bloomsbury, you were great to work with, but what exactly is going on?

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, heโ€™d likely:

1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.
