Gonna use my voice to further promote saving the Academy of Natural Sciences here in Philly. There’s still time to act and limit the damage as much as possible so you might as well lend some time and a voice to one of Philly’s best museums.

we're boarding now. a gate attendant literally screamed at us to board by boarding group... and a hundred people just laughed in her face. we have formed a self-governing society at this point and her attempt to order us around is oddly funny

Comm WIPs. Forever thankful that those who ask me for comms have a saint's patience and are beyond understanding. LOVE YOU. Hope to have these done soon. 💜 #Halo #WIP

Has anyone started a conspiracy theory that Candace Owens had Kirk killed yet?

From their own words; the now infamous on here "I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on" quote was specifically in response to seeing a slaveowner auctioning off his own barely teenaged daughter

Someone here a while back said that the average Union soldier went from “why am I fighting this war?” to “I’m going to burn every square inch of the accursed south to the ground and salt the ashes” when they realized how much sexual depravity was baked into southern plantation culture.

WOMEN IN ARMOR ARE MY WEAKNESS. I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT. (I love sketching my friend's OC lmao) #Halo

Someone asked me to sketch Package-era Kelly without the goofy boob armor and heels. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee slay queen. #Halo

Probably the most evil colorset I've made (for now) for two characters that I do nothing but sweet self-indulgence art pieces with lmaoooo. #Halo #Yuri

A LINEART WIP. Some delays hit me like a truck, but I'm close to finishing and shading. #Yuri #Halo

I wrote a piece about the origins of may day a few years ago. About the immigrants and a formerly enslaved woman who built a movement to abolish their oppressors: the state and capitalism. www.tangledwilderness.org/features/hur...

Hurrah for Anarchy: A History of Haymarket, May Day, and the Chicago Anarchists — Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness

Happy May Day! We are of a proud legacy. Every state in the world has tried to erase that legacy, but we are still here.

Gonna take the occasion considering today is May Day to say this: The boot does not care for the uniform it is part of; it will step on you all the same. Use it, spread it. Reject authority. Reject authoritarians. Punch a fascist. Punch a campist bootlicker. Power to the workers, always.

First canonical kiss drawing??? Cute girls kissing??? Oh no. Do I dare give them the happy ending????? I'll probably turn this into more than the basic sketch it is right now lol. #Halo #Yuri

I haven't had a lot of time to draw so teehee, take another brief sketch of two women having a good(???) time. Wonder what'd cause this sort of reaction. #Halo #Yuri

Sometimes you just need to sketch art of women having a good time.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Amaze amaze amaze! Working on the KSP install so I'm dusting off the craft-making skills.

Every time I do little updates to my hairstyle I just come out looking more and more like a Storch lmaooooo.

Games Workshop has always known the same thing the writers of Star Trek knew: if you include just a little bit for the horny weirdo, they'll spend thousands on your merchandise. This is something George Lucas only did by accident, because he doesn't really know about sex

boys go to jupiter to get more stupider (remembers that jupiter has some excellent vocational colleges now) or learn a useful trade (remembers they run an exploitative military recruitment program) despite the jovian colonial system (remembers i've been microchipped to advertise protein slurry) drin

SECULAR LIBERALS: ".....and so you see, under the definition of blasphemy as put forward in the Bishop of Rome's 1687 encyclical 'De Viis Malis' and the Chalcedonian formulation of the Nicene Creed, Trump is, in fact, a heretic!!!" AMERICAN CHRISTIANS: "God says its OK for me to drive drunk."

Fascism is not inevitable.

Operation At What Point Is It No Longer Inappropriate To Call Us Fucking Nazis

elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Every single article covering Israel should start by mentioning that they dubbed yesterday's operations in Lebanon "eternal darkness." You know that so much has already been normalised when this isn't even a cause for outrage. 303 people, at least, were murdered yesterday by Israel.

Fun fact: many of the prettiest photos taken by robotic spacecraft were similarly framed ahead of time by humans using simulators of view geometry to pick when the spacecraft should shoot the photo. Case in point: this photo of Europa over Jupiter from New Horizons science.nasa.gov/image-detail...

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

Our A2 science team similarly had to simulate views for months to prepare the crew for shots like this. The beautiful point imho is that humans on crewed AND robotic missions are taking time to capture the wonder along with the baseline data.

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad
