This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm Tiff, an illustrator of the historical & fantastical; I have a passion for well researched historical detail. Lately I've done a lot for ttrpgs & book projects! I'm available for long & short term projects. 💌tiffany.baxter@btinternet.com www.tiffanybaxter.com

Illustrations done in an early medieval manuscript & Pictish artwork inspired style of St. Columba and St. Oswald. L: Columba is dressed in a brown monk's habit and has a grey beard and thinning hair. He holds a book with a red and gold chequerboard pattern cover and a simple crozier. He is on an orange background with stylised representations of his 12 companions in red linework. In a section beneath, on a black background is the Loch Ness monster and fish. R: Oswald is dressed in a blue tunic with gold edges and a red cloak. He has chestnut coloured beard & long hair which is curled and long. He has a scabbard at his waist and holds out a silver plate of bread. He wears cross-gartered boots over green leggings. Below are 3 figures shown much smaller representing those he is giving alms to. Behind is a knotwork design in yellow, orangey red, and green.

An intimate scene at a party in 17th century France. Two vampire women gaze at each other, holding hands at a card table. They are radiant in pink, drops of blood on their lace. Around them other party goers in purple-blue, wearing half-masks, oblivious to the true nature of the women. Behind an intricate decorated mantlepiece in warm pale gold.

A drawing of Bathsheba Everdene from Thomas Hardy’s book ‘Far From The Madding Crowd’ within an oval. She stands amid lush green ferns, her long black curled hair worn loose. She wears a navyish mid 19th century riding habit with pink waistcoat, tan gloves & a red necktie. Four green caterpillars of the large white butterfly border the oval.

A medievalesque red dragon is coiled within a blue square border on a gold background.

google’s ai overview lies once again. “No credible reports of anyone spitting on Pinochet’s coffin” it claims, followed by three news articles reporting General Prat’s grandson spitting on his coffin Feel free to metaphorically or literally spit on the coffins of warmongers. It’s a noble tradition

Al Overview
There are no credible reports or widely documented accounts of anyone spitting on Augusto Pinochet's coffin. While there was significant opposition to Pinochet's regime and public sentiment against him was strong, particularly after his death in 2006, there is no historical record of a specific individual spitting on his coffin during the funeral proceedings.
No evidence in historical records:
Despite his controversial legacy and the vast number of people who opposed him, there is no widely reported incident of anyone spitting on Pinochet's coffin in official

One of the plus sides of being Chilean is that there’s little drama involved when awful people die. We’ve been there, done that, and in the case of the grandson of one of Pinochet’s victims —an army general who he had murdered by car bomb in Buenos Aires— queued for hours just to spit oh his coffin

#Pompei by night A wonderful initiative by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii inviting visitors to visit a few houses by night. It’s an incredibly evocative experience as from the depths of darkness, light glows from rooms as if someone is at home. Info here: pompeiisites.org/comunicati/i...

Looking down the hedged garden towards the fresco showing Venus reclining in a shell.

Soft light within the hose illuminates a blue frescoed room and a column in a portico around a garden. The garden is shrouded in darkness
