Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

Lastly, the earnestness and respect I was provided in incorporating my Puerto Rican culture and identity to Xio’s journey. I could write an entire separate thread about it. Finding purpose in giving back to the Island that raised him. It is something I yearn for myself.

this capelet makes me look like one of the Borrowers and is 🌾🪴🍂important🍂🪴🌾 to me

A view of me in my golden fern cape from the back. The cape flows with motion over a goldenrod skirt, Prussian blue tights, and maroon patterned boots. A cancer awareness statue decorated with satin dominates the middleground, with a vibrant green pine forest in the background.

A sculpture titled "The Starving Artist," featuring a larger than life metal rowboat with its bow pointing skyward as if sinking. It holds junkyard detritus including but not limited to a stop light, a Singer sewing machine, a mailbox, a 50s Coca Cola mini fridge, and several license plates. I climb the rocks beside it and, at 5'9, only come up to about a third of the statue's height. Pines reach skyward in the background.

okay tl, after months of searching I and coming up dry I’m gonna throw this out to my solo ttrpg lovers: if you were going to listen to someone play through a solo journaling game as an unambiguously evil villain (think Sauron), what game would you choose? Why? (see next post)

If you see this, QRP your art with the moon in it 🌙

The wizard Echinacea Belrose sits in a ring that shifts into the crescent moon at its upper righthand corner. They reach their hand up to one of their several floating terrariums. They wear a witch's hat covered in stars, a leotard with diamond tights, and a purple cape bedecked with birds.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Dressed in red and white with a broad brimmed straw hat, the little witch Ame extends her right hand. She stares down at the viewer with the faintest hint of a smile.
