It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

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

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."

The Anakin/Padme meme:
Panel 1 (Anakin): We will restrict repeat protests when there is a risk of serious public disorder
Panel 2 (Padme): Like the recent far right protests where people tried to set fire to hotels and fought with the police?
Panel 3 (Anakin stares)
Panel 4 (Padme stares)

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla.

Torture.

THIS IS SAD ❗❗

"That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry"

Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists.

The main goal was to figure out her mullet from behind, but I got sidetracked

Gideon from The Locked Tomb saga, simply standing, from a back view. She’s got one arm flexed behind her head, kind of. Her rapier and set of keys dangle from each side of her pants.

The reference used is from Trueref.

BEE FORTRESS

photo of a text message or dm from "today" at 8pm. photo shows a gray honeycomb lump stuck to the side of a painted white brick wall.

text caption. this is a photo from the shed at work. these are the nests that the mud bees build. usually they are brown because of the mud. this one is grey because the bees are using fucking concrete dust from the bags we have in there and it is basically an Indestructible concrete bee fortress.

back in june i went to Ireland and saw a bunch of lovely friends! these are watercolour postcards I made for them, the flowers are wildflowers that grow where each person had travelled from :D

two rows of 5 postcard-sized illustrations in portrait orientation. each one depicts a bust shot of a different fursona surrounded by flower heads and petals of a particular wildflower, each illustration's flower is different.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.
