Elena von Valancius, the custom Rogue Trader by talented @skolas-a.bsky.social in all her grace. The path of a psyker is a perilous one, but we're sure Elena nailed her journey just fine. Was your Rogue Trader a psyker as well or did you prefer a different origin?
![[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur.
Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:txddszqio2wctnyyxbbbaflj/bafkreidhzodfrcwjn6fpvyw6brx6y5us5pxfj6r2ctmt2naojydy7nqov4)

Stuff like this only happens in fiction because it's too cartoonish to believe. Right now, right! now! The world's greatest living villain, the literal avatar of evil, is visibly rotting from the inside out. Someone said "You lot are CLEARLY not paying attention"

This afternoon the president is crashing out over the Supreme Court's tariff ruling and Anthropic while the defense secretary feuds with universities and the scouts... glad everyone involved in the potentially imminent war with Iran is in a good mindset.
I've had kind folks share that my artwork being sold on several online stores. They're all Shoplazza, and that company is zero help in removing the content. Not to mention it's dozens of other artists' work that I recognize. I don't know what to do anymore.

I posted to Twitter for what looks like the fifth time this year yesterday. Checked back today and the post has 39,000 likes, 3.2k retweets — and 9 replies, and 4 quote tweets. I'm sorry folks those numbers ain't real. Bordering on a statistical impossibility. It's gotta be almost entirely fake.
