Some software vanishes simply because nobody thought to save it. 💾 Journalist Josh Renaud recounts recovering obscure software through the Internet Archive. 🖥️ 📚 “Recovering Lost Software” appears in VANISHING CULTURE from the #InternetArchive. 📖 Download & read, FREE: archive.org/details/vani...

Book cover titled “Vanishing Culture” on a teal background. Pixel-art style graphics show a VHS tape, open book, film reel, chain link, and vinyl record dissolving into digital fragments. At the bottom, a cursor icon points to the word “SAVE,” alongside an archive-style building icon, evoking digital preservation.

the sea, our silver, and the salt on your empty skin --- Voss/Orpheus (young, post freedom from ghaik slavery) E 4.4k CW: blood, mention of slavery, biting Written for @baldursboudoir.bsky.social 💜 archiveofourown.org/works/93558666 #DesWrites #Githyanki #T'var #BG3fic #KithrakVoss #PrinceOrpheus

the sea, our silver, and the salt on your empty skin
excerpt, by desdimonda

The sounds behind them had long dampened as they'd ran through this forest together, dense with its strange coloured trees and flora. Even the smell of them was obscured by the salt and stringent other ahead.

The raiding party and their spoils were mute now, Orpheus the only clear voice left as Voss stumbled over ground that grew rockier. Grass that grew sparser, a stranger colour with grains of something he wanted to pick up. Looked like stardust in day.

The treeline was sparse. And his hearts were hammering as he stared through the gaps, seeing something moving ahead. The source of the salt and the swell of sound.

A glance to see Orpheus is near, with him. A twitch in his smile as he sees smears of mud and blood. Of a fresh psionic burn ragged over his skin like lightning. Reckless.

Digital greyscale ink drawing that uses lots of fine lines and hatching. A portrait of a zombie horse from the neck up. Its decayed, mostly skeletal mouth is open and its ear is perked up. Its neck is torn open, revealing bands of muscle underneath. Its dark mane flows in movement.

digital color illustration, title at bottom: Furbicorn. A lavender-colored Shetland pony is rearing up. Instead of a horse head, they have a Furby face with mouth open, looking up to the sky. They have a stout unicorn horn. Their mane and tail are blue, and their horn is neon green at the base fading to neon yellow at the tip. Small neon yellow stars sparkle around their upper body and head.

Perhaps you have seen the Fayum mummy portraits! They are famous for how real they look, the faces of Roman elites from the past. This woman had her portrait made between 160 and 170AD, based on her trendy hairstyle and fashion inspired directly from the imperial women of Rome.

Highly doubt that there is a coincidence that IDF were brought into ICE and rapes at detention centers increased. That is one of the many inhuman characteristics of how the IDF had terrorized the Palestinians. It is truly barbaric. A reckoning needs to follow.

This striking pre-Columbian greenstone masterwork depicts an Olmec shaman in mid-transformation, adopting the powerful facial features of a sacred were-jaguar. Originating from archaeological sites in the Gulf Coast region of Veracruz state, it was crafted between 900 BCE and 600 BCE.

#ArtefactSunday – Two ivory Roman folding-knife handles carved in the form of gladiators. The figure on the left represents a secutor, with his distinctive enclosed helmet and rectangular shield. Dated to the 3rd century AD; the gladiatorial type and date of the second handle are uncertain.

Typical Friday afternoon in search of Mithraic mysteries. The Roman god Mithras had his very own mystery cult/religion - a powerful challenge to early Christianity. We still don’t know much about it (including its rituals), but it sounds a bit like the Roman Masons, but more fun.

BG3 fandom is way too comfortable with naked art theft. I’m so tired of this shit. I’ve been the victim of it on multiple occasions and will likely continue to be. Give credit where credit is due, talk to other artists, and don’t fucking just recreate someone’s work and pass it off as your own.
