My brain is toast, first thing I thought after seeing the “unsolicited (rhymes with dick) pic” posts is how funny posting a sincere dick pic would be

Tolktober day 10: Isildur

I don't usually draw in negative so I was excited to try it with old Izzy here. In the context of the lore it's hard to not sympathize with the weight of his choices. Tried to honor some of that anguish and shame in this piece while still not exactly letting him slide.

i'm sure many of the people campaigning for new words for burger and sausage also claim they can't keep track of the number of genders and pronouns they happen upon in everyday life

Mark Lynas @marklynas.bsky.social · 2d

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!

Let it be known @rogueprintco.bsky.social is an absolute diamond and NOT banned from local libraries for lewd behaviour no matter what rumours you may have heard.

Thank you so much for this, the original was very precious to me and I’m so glad to have a replacement (the badges are a sweet bonus!)

Resting against the mug are two pin badges of a Manticore and Becky Cloonan’s name in the Black Sabbath font.

The mug is a replacement for a broken mug in the quoted skeet

It’s #tolktober day.8 - Fog.

Prompt brought to us by ‘Arcane & Fable’ and ‘Mystic Barbarism’ (both on Instagram)

#Tolktober2025 #LordOfTheRings #MiddleEarth #fog #skulls #creaturedesign #RingsOfPower #Handmade #pencilart #illustration #Fanart #graphiteart #drawing #Portrait #graphitepencil 💀

Through the darkness and fog emerges a skeletal figure. Once a man of great power and purpose, now reduced to just his bones. Wielding a sword and with his old crown still on his head, he’s a relic of a lost time.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
