A drawing of Eris Morn in her home, relaxed in a comfortable armchair reading a book with a mug of tea in her hand. There's a table next to her with a tiny pillow for her Ahamkara bone orb and a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies. Eris' mug says "don't talk to me until I've had my tithes." She is in comfortable clothes with a headscarf tied around her hair. Warm sunlight streams through the window from behind her. She smiles slightly, at peace.

Mythal and Solas in ancient Arlathan. Solas kneels on the ground, his head in Mythal's lap. Mythal sits on a throne with an intricate tree-like design. She looks down on Solas with affection and is playing with his hair. Bright light streams in from windows behind them, casting dark shadows on their forms. The architectural design of the room is very curvy and gentle, much like designs you might see in Rivendell in Lord of the Rings. Outside, the sun is bright and the trees are autumnal.

A portrait of the artist's original character, Haleth Aebar. She has long brown hair braided into a bun, a strong nose, tan skin, and moles across her face. She wears a red cape thrown over the shoulder of some dull silver armour. She looks wistfully upward.

Solas and Inquisitor Lavellan in a wagon in the noonday sun. Inquisitor Menae Lavellan, a brown-skinned, red-haired and freckled elf, sleeps on Solas' shoulder, using a folded up blanket as a pillow to support her head. Her face is slightly smushed against it. Solas is looking at a book in his lap, a slight smile on his face. Each of them has a backpack resting against their side. Solas' is open to reveal books and a scroll. There is a round basket full of apples on the floor in front of Menae.

I'd really encourage folks in Canada to write out their thoughts in this survey.

Most of mine were "Don't", but I really got to dial in on some.

Local sushi place recognizes me as a regular (which is wild because this is only the third time I've been here) so I can never go again. Anyway peep my meal

A bowl of raw salmon and various vegetables over rice, a bowl of miso soup, and a cup of green tea.

This is pretty normal for cats! Even if he's not greedy, my cats (and dogs) have always gone between each other's bowls. As long as he's not eating too much it should be fine! He is also a growing boy and like any animal is eating a lot to feed his growth

An illustration of two characters against a white and grey background. The character on the left, Crow, carries a masked Hunter on his shoulder. Crow, a blue-skinned Awoken man with black and white streaked hair swept to the left, smiles widely and affectionately as he supports the Hunter with a hand around his leg. The Hunter's face is concealed with a helmet and blue hood and cloak, but a speech bubble shows his surprise with three exclamation points. Both characters have capes. The Hunter sitting on Crow's shoulder has a knee brace.

When all the culture & fashion magazines start talking about, I dunno, skinny jeans, we should not simply conclude, "oh, skinny jeans are happening," as though it's some natural force. These things don't just happen-- someone chooses. Someone with power or money wants us talking about skinny jeans.

Bianca in comparison to her werewolf self

Notes are scattered around which say:

Her hair and fur is naturally black but she bleaches often so she has blonde tips on her wolf

Wolf is between 8-10 ft depending on slouch but bianca is 5'6

Wolf has blunt back claws and webbed front dabloons and she has stretchy skin all over like a cat

Hair is luscious in both wolf and human form

And lastly, she has mauled and killed 3 people on accident

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

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 unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
