Every jar of sandwich pickles starts with good sandwich intentions, and ends at 1am with a shirtless no-sandwich'd me, tiny pickle fork in hand, saying "well I can't put the jar back with only six pickles in it"

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

Cycle of the Stars Dark Link 🩸

#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU

A digitally painted reference sheet for the artist’s original version of Dark Link from their Legend of Zelda AU, Cycle of the Stars. The reference sheet shows the character from different angles and includes written details and design notes. Dark Link is depicted as an amalgamation of decayed flesh in a malformed humanoid shape. Their skin is a deep navy, thinly stretched over exaggerated muscle and bone; and they have long silver hair that hangs down over glowing red eyes that cover their scalp on the left side. Thin, interlaced fingers cover their mouth and all the way down their chest, growing out of the skin to either side of the orifice. One of the images on the sheet depicts what Dark Link looks like when they open their fingers, revealing a long, vertical maw through their neck and chest; containing myriad misaligned teeth and one more larger red eye. They wear no clothing, though one image shows Dark Link wearing a navy blue cloak with hood, under which guise they appear almost Hylian from a distance.

Cycle of the Stars Impa 👁️

#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU

The artist’s original design for Impa from their Legend of Zelda original story, Cycle of the Stars; laid out in a reference sheet showing the character from multiple angles as well as a breakdown of her clothing. The design depicts a tall woman of dark skin and ice white hair, with a sharp expression. She wears a sleeveless navy blue bodysuit with a high collar, and wide navy pants. A wide blue striped belt is placed over the ensemble, tied in place with a bright red strip of cloth. Red talismans hang at her waist. Over the outfit, Impa wears a red and orange cape in the rough shape of an eye, with the curved portion of the eye serving as the collar and long, triangular “eyelashes” hanging down at the back. Impa’s long hair hangs down in front of her right eye, but is tied up into a small bun in back— the left side of her head is shaved to display crimson Sheikah tattoos in the shape of an eye.

Unexpected but not unwelcome Greek Mythology discourse from Crystal.

not a single person would claim that hades can actually stand up to the illiad. in fact they will make excuses for why it shouldn't even try. oh, you've got to eat a hamburger sometimes. when do you ever not eat a hamburger.

I can't believe that Crystal is starting on her reluctant hero's journey by choosing to rise above and hold at bay her buried past.

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

britt hayes @britthates.bsky.social · 4d

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.
