Painting in realism of Greek mythology figure Dionysus Zagreus: a muscular white man in a 3/4 framing, his back to the viewer, face in profile. He has close cut red hair and beard, and long spiraled horns adorned with ivy. He wields a crackling lighting bolt in his right hand, his left arm is dismembered and limbs hang mid-air. Gouges score his back and blood swirls and spatters about him, some drops becoming seeds of pomegranate.

❧ Dionysus Zagreus ~ whom the leaves of vines adorn, born the dread of all the powers divine ~

The irony of these people complaining about the invented dangers of immigrants and then welcoming brain pollution from overseas hustlers.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power

Stylized, semi-realistic art of a dark skinned man, his eyes closed, facing sideways, against a gilded background. He is posed like a saint, holding purple Dracaena-like leaves, and wearing a crown of purple heart tradescantia. A heavy mantle of golden thread is draped on his left arm, and he has one long, deep blue wing. A golden glow reflects on the leaves and feathers, and a soft blue glow on his skin.

Gilded Saint ~

We just watched Good Morning last week 💕

And here's the full "GTO" fanart I already bought from Anthony Ho two years ago (still on his booth at Japan Expo festival) with another fanart (of Takeshi Kitano's film "Kikujiro" ;-).

Torii Around the World (1,195+!) - Google My Maps A map of torii gates located outside of Japan (except for US military presence), created by Dr. Kaitlyn Ugoretz (Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture).

Character spread with a quarter portrait and full body figure in flat colors of a white pale woman, mid 30s, long red hair and grey eyes. She's reclined in a pose reminiscent of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, her left arm towards a clouded sky, touching lightning, adorned with a Lichtenberg scar tattoo. Her right arm and legs are encircled by winding rose branches, the thorns pricking and bleeding. The roses near her are blood red, blanching into white the further off. Her chest is speared by an arrow, a bright pink rosary hanging from it.

Character spread with a quarter portrait and full body figure in flat colors of a brown woman, mid 30s, short black hair and dark eyes. She sits cross-legged under a spotlight, staring at a skull she holds before her. Greek theater masks revolve above her, casting a shadow over her eyes. Spread before her are librettos, screenplays, and missing persons posters. A trail of blood seems to crawl over them, towards her.

In Mario Kart 64, it is possible to "annoy Lakitu into quitting". If the player keeps driving out of bounds in Frappe Snowland and get rescued by Lakitu, at some point Lakitu will drop the player into the water and no longer perform any rescues.

Paper is plastered on a wall - one depicts feet poking out of a bed sheet. The other says "replace capitalism with a good nap"

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

Interesting how they have left out how several recent reviews have recommended trans care for youth in European countries.

Doesn’t fit their narrative I guess.

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people.

These bastards want us all dead.

Not thousands.
Not a few million.
Over 13 million.

Keep going.

In Super Mario 3D World, the flowers dance to the music. In addition to having different movements for different parts of the song, they even have a tiny special dance for the "100 seconds left" jingle.

(over a photo of a large crowd at a No Kings event marching around an image of the Constitution) The Daily Beast headline: “‘No Kings’ Was Biggest Protest in U.S. History: Data Analyst”

We rose this weekend and we’re not bowing anytime soon. #NoKings

‘No Kings’ Was Biggest Protest in U.S. History: Data Analyst For reference, that’s between 1 and 2 percent of the total population of the United States.

Not too shabby. Now we build on it. www.thedailybeast.com/data-guru-g-...

The Marines are being sent into the streets.

A Senator was tackled and handcuffed by federal agents.

The president is holding a military parade on his birthday.

Two state lawmakers were just shot.

This is America in 2025.

It is now beyond doubt: Our democracy is in peril.

Yep. The very second you decide it’s okay to take rights away from trans people, you’ve decided that taking rights away from anyone is an okay thing to do.

A precedent will be set - either human beings deserve human rights or they don’t. Only naive dipshits think they can pick and choose.
