I'm going to make more molds for my miniature Hoplings. The tiny blanketed ones. Ooooh I hope it works. #resin #resinfigures #hoplites #greek #art

This is Theo the Worst Spartan. I made a few years back and propped him in front of Poseidon's Fury prior to closing. I miss that ride.

Here is a set of bigger sized resin Hoplites I dub, "Hoplings". A 3 year long project I hope to return to soon. I miss my "Greek myth flow", it was when I was happier. Now I will make smaller ones.

So I occasionally make these lil'guys. They're like tiny, blanketed hoplites. They're mostly inspired but older depictions of hoplites wearing a cloaks

I'm thinking of making them into little "art drops" in the near future.

I genuinely despise that show. It's the debate equivalent of leaving a seal pup in the middle of a room with like 20 grown men with clubs. It's not intellectual, it's not engaging, it's not even a measurement of the ability to debate with multiple people. It's just a sideshow massacre.

So huge question. Do you all want me to slow drip my art from my other medias or just start posting my new stuff? It's a bit of work to do but I just want some input.

Bishop Mariann's reminded me of what it truly means to be Christian / Catholic. It is to believe in the good and well-being of the people and provide love and protection from them through the grace of God. If I weren't pagan, I would convert right back on her words alone. Bless her bravery πŸ™

I figured as much. I don't even know if I would want to keep it after it comes back. I say we delete our accounts in protest.

Every other bytedance app as well actually, I just got a message from lemon8 with the same exact shutdown message. I just hope that whatever this is, isn't some way for 🍊 to retaliate against his critics. Because after 3 weeks, this would be a convenient way to gather data.

Something is genuinely wrong here, it's 10:47 where I am, they must have decided to shut down before the 19th in the East Coast.

Ladies and gentlemen, as of 10:43 p.m. East Central time, tiktok is officially dead.

However I'm having a feeling we should have deleted our accounts beforehand. Something's not right about this.

I was having a feeling that maybe I should have deleted or deactivated my account but unfortunately it's too late. I reuploaded the app just in case and this is what I got
It looks like the wiping everything clean.

Considering the recent tiktok ban, there needs to be a consensus on how dangerous things are going to get from now on. As a society, we need access to information and we must stay strong.... we're entering into dark and dangerous waters....

Well it's not exactly that, it's more like how are we supposed to have a community in the modern world if we're not allowed to be on social media?

They are trying to shut us out of society, and shut down our organizing.
