The immune system is not a muscle.
It is a cleansing fire.
It causes collateral damage.
It has a limited supply of fuel.
It can get out of control.
Donβt burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.
You look cozy. :D
Just to clear things up. This cover artwork was definitely not created by AI, but by the incredibly talented Pete Hentze, a long time Rare artist, and one of the concept artists on Conker: Live and Reloaded! π
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
so due to my benefits changing i'm not going to be making any money outside of commissions until august. any purchases or signal boosting would be really appreciated
Today makes 15 years since the day I was let out of the mental health clinic my mom put me in for being trans.
Every time I see new laws meant to stop trans kids, I think back to that time and how the experience didnβt make me cisgender. It just made me hate myself until I could finally be me
Ron Cobb, near-forgotten genius political cartoonist.
He also did visual design of technology for the first Alien film and countless other scifi movies in the 70s/80s. Including the Weyland-Yutani Semiotic Standard - a visual language used for Nostromo signage.
"This is a nice song," I think as I listen to the radio at work. "I should look this up when I get home."
"Oh no," I utter once I get home and forget everything about the song.

I want every word of this in massive letters of fire in the sky. Thank you, @moryan.bsky.social.
"My name is Rosalina. I watch over and protect the cosmos." π
I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.
I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process
This video remains up as the beacon of human imagination and play.

It's a good colour combination.
One of the challenging dynamics about social media is that it is categorically stupid to talk openly about meaningful anti-government organising, but then that leaves a vast space for the doomers to fill up with "why isn't anyone doing anything!?"
USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.
The state of the internet is a bunch of people who are on record as having raped children telling you that artistic expression is immoral.
Ooh, I didn't know her name was Chloe! Thank you for telling me. :D
But yeah, my favourite's still Vanna. Love our superspy. :D
Oh, I don't actually know Chloe. Can you tell me more about them?
TAKE A WILD GUESS, BUDDY
The Wolf The Mouse and The Cock.

You look like you're having a blast.

I *love* this. I have no reason to care about the fate of The Great Kingdom of Wherever when I first open a novel--the "near" stakes are what make the "far" stakes relevant. Otherwise it feels empty, pointless. At least to me!
Everyone give a HUGE congratulations to Naia for finishing her PhD in aerospace engineering! On my last visit to NASA Kennedy for the #ArtemisII rollout, I learned from her about the Super Guppy, and we dove in a little deeper to see what it's all about! Have some fun and laughs with us!
Never trust companies that don't want unions.
