This sentiment, the "we do not demobilize" is what this campaign needs to preach from here on out. Getting the work done is going to require EFFORT. Taking the campaign's infrastructure and applying it to advocacy and political pressure will be crucial - mobilization is the right word.

"After we win in November, we do not demobilize. The rich and corporate interests who tried to buy this election with the millions they stole from our pockets will want to see us fail.

We won’t let them." - Chi Ossé

great breakdown and a perfect illustration of why being told my clothes are too expensive is immensely frustrating

i've chosen the route of indie designer + online retailer and i charge retail prices at a markup of 2-2.2x, when it should be closer to 3x, in an effort to be as affordable as possible

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2d

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

did some ephrim designs as part of a character design class #friendsatthetable

Various poses and expressions of the same character collaged together. He has medium length red hair, a gold crown wrapping his forehead, adn red eyeshadow. He is wearing a blue shirt with gold detailing over white pants and dark boots. Over that is a dark cloak with red lining and a fur collar.

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

One issue I talked about in Slave Revolt on Screen was how the early 2010s burst of energy at Ubisoft & other companies - diversifying characters and narratives - faced a backlash after GamerGate. The women developers who'd made great games NOT celebrating colonization & conquest lost jobs./

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Framed.

#art #fanart #clairObscur #e33 #expedition33 #coe33

Verso stands in front of a framed canvas. The canvas is sliced, and the frame is broken and burning. Verso is holding his sword and parrying dagger and standing among the flamed, looking back at the viewer like he's daring them to pass judgement on him.
