Four 8 in tall articulated action figures. One of them is piggybacking ride on the other. In the background there is another figure in a gremlin squat with his arms out to the side and behind him. There is a figure holding a gun to the back of his head

Free more of the action figures. One of them is standing with the arms by its side. Looking down at another that's doing a split on the ground while holding a gun up to their face and in the background there's another figure with a sword falling over

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.

I am emphatically pro sex workers, folks, and believe to my core sex work should be decriminalized.

You go after them in eye range, I'm done with you.

2 art books, one entitled Blades and Bodies, the other Furs and Flesh. On each cover is a drawing of the head and shoulders of a naked fantasy character.

I keep mentioning how becoming a LARPer has pushed me to create outside of comics and here’s another example: I’m getting to dip my toes into the world of smut (tasteful nudes) to try to raise In Character funds. 2 books, 20 pieces of brand new, full colour cheesecake and beefcake art!

"Do give some consideration to my request," Tarn said, as if Sideswipe had any choice at all. "And I will do all in my power to keep Sunstreaker's spark stable for you."

As if there was anyone else who could.

A small black kitten with big shiny eyes sits with its paws together as if wishing or praying. Above it, the text says: β€œMay kindness win in the end.” The background is a soft blue gradient.

GUESS WHAT? Go on, guess. It's Xena & Callisto again, you may remember them from other such posts of mine like, 'Xena x Callisto,' & the surprise sequel, 'More Xena x Callisto,' plus more. It's the one with Xena standing over Callisto telling her to stay down and Callisto is like, "Gladly <3" y'know, classic Callisto stuff. I added a little background of GREENERY, like the threat of a fern and a whisper of some grass, stuff like that. Plus some peachy pink sky. #myart

Added a background to this Xena/Callisto piece so I could make some nice prints and I think it turned out PEACHY

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the Kids Act, a mix of KOSA, Screen Act, and several other ID/facescan verification bills. There is still time before a final vote in the House, as well as a Senate version. Please use this link to call your Senators and Representatives to vote no.

The image shows a rectangular Roman dice tower (turricula) made of four copper alloy (bronze) plates with punched cut-out Latin letters and cut-out decorative patterns. At the bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the opening. The tower is a Roman anti-cheating device. It has an open top and is hollow inside except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomize dice as they fall, ensuring unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the exit chute they rang the bells!  There is a decorative dolphin either side of the stepped exit chute. The top of the front plate has two decorative pine cone finials. Height 25 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped base to illustrate how it was used. 

The front  inscription reads:
PICTOS VICTOS
HOSTIS DELETA
LVDITE SECVRI

Translated as: β€˜The Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safety’.

Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads:

β€˜UTERI/FELIX/VIVAS’ translated as β€˜Use happily; may you live well’.

Found at a Roman villa at Froitzheim in Germany in 1985.

Roman anti-cheating gaming accessory!

This Roman β€˜turricula’ (dice tower) was used to ensure a fair roll of the dice! 🎲🎲🎲

Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over sloping internal levels, and appeared randomly below.

From Froitzheim, Germany, AD 300-400

Also, researching sun shades to avoid scorched plants/fruits this year. Oof. And figure out something that will work better on aphids and spider mites, too. Maybe figure out a set up for drip lines rather than sprayers for watering.

For now, though, my arms are noodles.

Amazingly, it only took about ten minutes to run a first pass over one of the beds with the hand tiller this morning, rather than the hour+ it took last year. Going to get the first pass on the other bed (and a second pass on the both) done this weekend. 2/3

Grabbed my tomato plants for the season yesterday and a couple of the mammoth jalapenos. (The nursery didn't have out any multipacks of the bell peppers yet. Boo!) Delia knocked one of my jalapenos over and OUT of it's pot last night. Got it in a bigger nursery pot until I get the beds prepped. 1/3

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.
