Daily bunny no.3458 works better on the floor
A small bunny has all their notes and papers strewn about the floor, where they are studying while lying down next to their pet goldfish in a fishbowl. They have an actual desk, but it sits unused. It is late at night.

New Past Lives: Around 600 CE, a man died and was buried near the city of Verona in northern Italy. He had led an interesting life, including a migration from present-day Hungary. Most intriguing of all, his right hand had been amputated and replaced with a knife prosthesis. pod.link/1852618120/e...

Before the jiangshi became China’s hopping vampire of horror films, C-dramas, and TikTok, it was born from a stranger sorrow: the need to bring the dead home. Old tales speak of “corpse-walking,” when Daoist priests guided bodies back to their native villages #folklore 1/2

Swirling waves of darkness surround Ganondorf as he raises the Triforce of Power in his hand. Few other artifacts of power in Magic evoke fear in your opponents quite like Bolas's Citadel, which is the same feeling I wanted to capture in this MtG proxy card.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

The term “Patient Zero” has an ugly and problematic history, originated from a misreading, ruined a man’s legacy, and should be avoided. It isn’t used by professionals in epidemiology.

My #pixelart entry for PSICOZINE, an italian fanzine! 124x180px, 22 colors I originally meant to animate it, but I am pc-less atm. Bronzong is one of my faves - I love bronzes from the Yayoi period in general. Recently, I also developed a huge love for the bronze art of Sangxingdui, Guanghan.
A pixel art of the pokemon Bronzong and Bronzor. The steel/psychic pokemon is embedded in an intricate frame wall, perfectly shaped around him. Two Bronzor are located at its sides. The dark temple is lit by a bright flame contained in a horned urn right below Bronzong. This round brazier is shaped like the headpiece of the legendary pokemon Ting-Lu. The bright flame causes all sorts of reflections and color diffractions: from the warm light to the characteristic shades of oxidated bronze, with purple and cold reflections as well.

Upon further inspection, the rich frame carvings reveal many historiated scenes: below bronzong there's a lunette holds stylized figures of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. Above the two Bronzor, embedded in the frame, the silhouettes of Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. On the higher part of the structure, right above Bronzong, the effigy of Arceus, lit by a cold light.
