Disciplined Duelist - for Magic: The Gathering's Streets of New Capenna AD: Sarah Wassell The first painting I completed for Magic and still one of my favourites.

A man strides across a dimly lit hallway, brandishing magical gauntlets. He rolls up a sleeve in anticipation of a fight to come. The shapes of the composition are angular and art-deco-inspired.

We've been eating onions from our garden for a couple months, but I just harvested what was left. Behold! Box of Onions! (Walla Walla Sweet)

box filled with plump, delicious onions that still have roots and some dirt on them.

Our neighbor leaves these little toys in the corner of their yard so kids walking by can stop and play. They have a lovely low concrete wall to sit on and lots of rocks for the cars to ramble over.

One large gray rock with flat spots where small toy cars, trucks, and airplanes rest waiting kiddos. Smaller round rocks surround the play space.

I just love this contrast of golden harvest against deep green forested hills. Oregon, you're a pretty thing. (Taken somewhere near Buell/Sheridan)

Golden hay (probably straw) field harvested and stacked into two huge bale cubes behind which are deep green forested hills against a blue and cloudy white sky.

Vaccines really are amazing scientific accomplishments. The shingles vaccines reduces risk of heart disease. The HPV vaccine has made cervical cancer virtually obsolete. We’re close to an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Science for the win! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Does the shingles vaccine cut heart-disease risk? Mounting evidence suggests a link

Large study finds that people who received the ‘recombinant’ vaccine for the viral condition had a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

Centrists cannot bring people on the left "back in line." They have to quit it with this rhetoric. If they treat people on the left as a greater enemy than Trump, the thing that is going to happen is that people on the left will fucking fight them tooth and nail. Include me in that number.
