This part stuck out to me because a) yeah, gaining critical mass to normalize bigotry has been the goal of the anti-trans side the entire time and b) that's a crazy thing to say anonymously

A Democratic strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told The Sun the breakthrough for Democrats using more anti-trans language came last year, when Rob Sand, now the Democratic nominee for governor in Iowa, was asked by a conservative radio host whether he thought transgender girls belonged in girls’ sports. Sand responded with a simple “no.” The strategist said the moment immediately circulated among party political strategists.

“Rob Sand just did it, and it was fine,” the strategist said. “There’s power in numbers, and all you have to do is tell these people that you have the majority opinion. And then you can just say it.”

Let’s be real they’re using “furry” as a visibly queer subculture as a stand-in for queerness at large. Their goal has been to remove queer people from public life, and they’re testing different vectors to do so. Hence the all caps “MENTALLY ILL,” which is how they want to reclassify all queers

Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪

A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

A business trip from Philly led to an ICE arrest at a California airport. Now a local man is in detention.

Only 36 days until Halloween... "Abyssal Ritual" Oil on panel for @hitpointpress.bsky.social

Oil painting in dark teal and bright orange. The painting is of a dark forest with craggy trees. In the center there is a large glowing orange pit opening in the forest floor with strange bat-like creatures coming out. A girl in a flowing dress hovers over the glowing hole in a witchy pose. It looks like they're all having a pretty good spooky time.

Oh hi. It's my birthday 🙂 I have to say that diving into acrylic painting and book illustration over these last few years has been incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy learning more, painting more, and getting older really is quite great!

Cover illustration for "Fusion Fragment" showing a portrait of a woman facing upwards, as a mirror shatters around her. The mirror shards all show eyes of other women trapped within them. Two mask shards are also falling around her face, inspired by Japanese kabuki masks, representing her mixed heritage.

Acrylic painting showing Sauron's defeat by Lúthien and Huan at Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Book interior illustration for "Fangs for Nothing", showing the MC Winnie in a castle hallway. The scene takes inspiration from Gothic horror and Gothic romance movies, from the nightgown design to the candelabra.
A black cat hides behind Winnie's leg, a vampire hides in a dark doorway, and the red candlelight reflects of a suit of armor and several empty painting frames.

Acrylic character illustration for a fantasy book commission. The two characters are shown in a sparse, partially destroyed ice palace hall. Both characters have unnaturally pale skin and are clad in black.

#HELLBREAKERS (backstory) meeting roswinn vass, then and now

4716 - isger (provincial militia)
A grayscale picture of a woman in armor standing under armches and watching a training bout. A close up of her, and she thinks, "... this is it."

The woman thinks, a similar face hovering behind hers.
"I might be wearing my mother's armor— —- but I'm here on my own merits not as Fatima's daughter. I'll be judged by my own accomplishments...... assuming | have any."

The person before her stands, confident. Text labels them: posture, confidence, expensive kit. Conclusoon: professional mercenary. They ask, "Well? You up for it?"
She thinks, nervously, Fuck. My mother's armor. They think I'm a fellow professional, not a new recruit. But if I decline, I'l look like a coward! She says, "ah... well.."

Today is my birthday! 🎉 as ritual I'll share my artworks here and I'd really appreciate shares to help me reach more people 💗 This year I have many things I'd like to achieve, I want to paint more book covers and illustrations, and maybe one day getting the chance to paint for Magic the Gathering 🫶🏻

"The great hunt". Illustration piece I did for Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It represents an haunt scene, the hunter is mounting a big white tiger with piercing white eyes -sign that she's blind- which is roaring as she's sprinting through the action. The hunter has heavy clothing on, inspired by the Mongolian and Slavic clothing. He has long black hair moved by the wind, and he's holding a sword in his hand, ready to defend his wood. The environment is a snowy wood, old trees and branches all around the scene, as the white snow covers them. The sun is setting, and the overall atmosphere looks pinkish, lightened by the lights of the time of the day. Pink, yellow and blue shading on the sky, as the clouds move, forming interesting shapes.

A dramatic digital fantasy illustration depicting a figure with long, flowing dark hair and prominent vampire fangs stepping down a flight of stone stairs. They are wearing a long, dark tattered coat, a buckled vest or corset, and dark trousers. Their arms are outstretched, channeling vibrant, swirling purple magic from their hands.

The character is positioned in front of a stone archway that opens up to a misty, pale green forest. In the shadowy foreground on either side of the stairs, monchs with glowing purple eyes appear to be reacting to the magic. The overall atmosphere is dark, gothic, and action-oriented.

Fantasy digital illustration of a monstrous woman in a dark blue gown standing in a snowy forest stream. She has long white hair, large white deer antlers, glow-in-the-dark eyes, and a wide, terrifying mouth full of sharp fangs. Black ravens perch on bare tree branches around her, while deer stand amidst the snow in the background.

Illustration of a young elf with short reddish hair and pointed ears kneeling in a misty forest, reaching desperately toward an ornate gold crown with blue gemstones that lies in a shallow stream just out of reach.
