What if the "Reignited" Ember is in the original Spyro: A Hero's Tail?

That's the answer :)

I made this skin based on art by @alaynakgray.bsky.social for this game πŸ˜…

A Barnes & Noble cashier once gave me a 20% discount because I waited patiently while she helped another customer. I was happy to get a few dollars off my books and very, very horrified that waiting a few minutes without throwing a fit was apparently an act worthy of reward.

The AI should instead check whether customers say "please" and "thank you," and come equipped with a giant laser that vaporizes you on the spot if you're rude to service workers

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Tonight, on a whim, I stopped by Barnes & Noble on the way home from work. I grabbed a few books off the bestseller shelf, took them home and have been reading all night. Oh. My god. I forgot I love reading? I used to read all the time as a kid??? Why did I ever stop?????

Illustration of two mermaids underwater. A green mermaid that resembles an anglerfish is reaching towards the viewer with a clawed hand and toothy smile. Her face is illuminated by the yellow lure protruding from her head. In the distance, a purple mermaid that resembles a sea urchin floats toward the surface. She is looking down at the viewer with a more apprehensive expression. Her body is silhouetted against the light from the surface.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

It's my favorite room, even though it's the most WIP! I got the idea from making this video (you can't see the gyroids, but you can hear them in the background). youtu.be/zaqfdoldSLU?...

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

Drawing of 13 'dark faeries' from neopets. They are women with bat-like wings in a variety of purples and blues in mostly goth styled outfits except one which is more steam-punk like.
On the bottom of the page is their names as followed: Mordrida, Dark Guardian, Malice, Spite, Vanity, The Darkest Faerie, Jhudora, Delina, Drakara, Ariadne, Mavara, Beyla, Maelstra

I watched the video of the man being murdered by ICE. He was trying to help a woman who an ICE agent had shoved to the ground. For this he was pepper sprayed, dogpiled, pistol whipped, and executed in the street.

24.01.2026 19:49 πŸ‘ 18 πŸ” 4 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

He's directing traffic. He steps inbetween ICE and two women who are being harrassed by them (one of whom was shoved to the ground for no reason), raises his hands and turns away from them and says "Okay! Okay!" to indicate he isn't going to be aggressive, at which point they start with pepper spray

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, β€œIt’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
