I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

Lootboxes? Epstein
Rowling? Epstein
The democrats giving up on trans people in 2024? Epstein
The rise of anti-trans rhetoric generally? Epstein

You know the advantage of all of this is that if they get only 10% of these people I'll still get some catharsis out of it

I think the thing that gets me specifically about the Epstein Files is that it just keeps being Him behind/involved with everything like a sort of nefarious pedophile puppet master
Trump? Epstein
QAnon? Epstein
EA? Epstein
FNAF porn? Epstein
Woody Allen? Epstein
Musk? You're not gonna believe this

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Jennifer and I love to draw all kinds of fish 🐡
Illustration of an American Paddlefish swimming along a rocky river bottom. The viewer is looking slightly up at the paddlefish, and in the background the sun is shining through the waves. An illustration of Cownose Rays. The illustration is a bird's eye view of five Cownose Rays swimming in shallow, turquoise water. The sea floor is sandy, and water ripples are reflected on it. An illustration of a Grass Carp swimming through a forest of lily pads. The water is slightly murky and the sun is illuminating the lily pads from above. An illustration of a small school of Lookdowns. The fish are swimming along a sandy ocean floor, sunlight filtering through the waves above. Small nondescript fish, silver in color, swim in the background. Overall, the image has a very aqua blue tone.

Goldcrest in the front garden again! This bird was foraging on buddleia and apparently finding stuff, though no idea what. Lots of hanging upside down (giving views of its yellowish feet). So puffed up in the cold that it looks round :) #birds #UKbirds #birding

I'm reminded of this unfinished pterosaur with birds drawing. Didn't know in which direction I should develop it, so I left it like that:

There are some absolutely superb Venezuelan palaeoartists. Follow Akex Vieira (@paleogeek.bsky.social) for politically charged, colourful dinosaur work.

sorry i am doing the thing i don't like to do but yes obviously we are at war with venezuela under any terms other than those of our constitution, because the war is domestically illegal as well as internationally illegal

Are we at war with Venezuela?!?

I don't know. You don't know either.

It sure would be nice to have a legitimate Pentagon press corps right about now.
