This was where they belonged. Atleast, they thought they did. That’s strange – something changed. Was there less green before? They couldn’t quite put their fin on it. The trees whispered ‘adapt and survive’ on the wind and it felt right. "Fish in a Forest", 12in tall, mixed media gourd & clay.

Ahoy, #PortfolioDay ! I’m Gwenevere Singley, illustrator and general art wrangler! I’ve worked in games, animation, interactive media, TTRPGs, comics, and I’d love to work on more! Portfolio: www.gwensingley.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/QueenGwenevere Weird Projects: www.queengwenevere.com

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along.

In a narrow rocky pass with overhanging cliffs, a motley gang of bandits suddenly appears atop a rocky edge ahead! It’s an ambush! The leader, a handsome but menacing brunette woman, brandishes a sword and dagger. Behind her, a motley gang flourishes a random assortment of weapons: swords, daggers, knives, axes, halberds, crossbows, cleavers, and big sticks with
nails. Their appearance and attire is just as random, some wearing helmets of breastplates, some in leather doublets, some in shirtsleeves or tunics and brightly patterned tights, one in a gown and apron. The leader wears a hat with rooster feathers, leather doublet and buskins, red shirt with puffed sleeves, and red and yellow striped tights, as well as several gold chains. Her chief henchman, beside her, is a huge and very hairy fellow with tusk-like lower teeth, in patched blue and yellow tights and sheepskin vest. He wields an enormous axe and a fearsome scowl and looks a trifle orcish.

A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragon’s aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve.

The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows:
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

White and brown mittens, clearly giving the middle finger. They are matching but opposite colors.

The back of the mittens is tame and cute. So you can flip off the jerks and wave to your friends. It’s a checker pattern.

Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me)

An artwork depicting a porcelain deer against a dark blue background. The border of the artwork resembles porcelain tiles with delicate designs on them. The deer has pale skin with the cool sheen of porcelain. Her head is blue and her ears look like small stylized wings. A wing design is painted on her back decorated with blue leaves. Her tail is adorned with sun and moon trinkets, and ends in an elegant fan design.
