hey go see this very small indie documentary about something very near and dear to me and featuring the words and laughter of a murdered comrade i knew

pre-film still frame for A City in the Forest, a documentary about the Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta. the photo shows a movie theater screen with a pink-red projection of a title card for the film, featuring crew credits, awards won, community partners, and a stylized image of two individuals in identity-concealing camo outfits running hand-in-hand in front of a stylized, bright green rectangle view of the forest.

i really wanted to like this frame but it's so obviously inspired by Saturn devouring his son that it felt trite and unoriginal to me

saw some kind of bug or worm recently

a green anole (Anolis carolinensis, a small lizard native to the southeastern US) perches on the trunk of a young American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana, an understory tree native to the eastern US). the anole is squinting at the camera as though suspicious and ready to flee. its tail is so long that it wraps around the small trunk and disappears out of sight.

i'm thrilled by the quality of this commission from @eli-kempema-art.bsky.social of my pilot Darby and her LL6 Balor! #lancer #lancerrpg #mecha #balor

a transparent background sports three stylized figures of increasing size.

the smallest is a slate gray drone hovering, apparently, from the use of a pair of jewel-green wings. it resembles a very large moth or butterfly, and is the size of a large predatory bird.

the next figure is an anthro deer woman with tan-brown fur whose ends are dyed lavender in a punk undercut hairstyle. she wears a green jacket over a white flight suit and a grey harness that supports a sidearm at one hip, an officer's sabre at the other, and a rifle strapped across her back. she is drawn to look stylized and simplified, with no visible mouth and only a small horizontal line to represent one eye.

the final figure is a large, organic-looking mech, specifically a Balor-pattern from the tabletop RPG Lancer. unlike the typical Balor, this one is quadrupedal, and resembles nothing so much as a luna moth-like dragon. it has a striking pair of large, jewel-green wings with burgundy accents like those of a luna moth; these wings appear segmented and somewhat ethereal, as though made of some otherworldly substance—in this case, nanites. it also has a segmented body of white sections with pairs of small gaps shining bright green running up the torso and neck, resembling many pairs of eyes. it stands on four burgundy legs which appear somewhat avian and sport sharp talons with bright green accents. emerging above its hind legs is a large, slate gray tail in multiple segments that seem suspended in midair and glimmer with emerald sheen at the base of each spiky section; this tail is ferrofluid supported by nanites. its head is again slate gray, with a strong jaw forming an underbite where it meets the sharp teeth-filled maw of the upper cranium. finally, its head bears a long, slender horn of jewel green, which comes to a very fine point and seems a wicked weapon for skewering its enemies.

the style of all three figures is at once intricate and simplistic, making excellent use of a limited color p…
