A pair of Gang-gang Cockatoos have stopped by a few times this week! The male is camera shy, but I managed to get a few shots of the female.

I still do art from time to time!
I'm going to be playing in an Edge of the Empire campaign (Star Wars TTRPG), and I'm excited so here's my character concept.

(we haven't even had session 0 yet, so design is *not* final final)

I'd never even heard of 'thrips' before until I found a Giant Thrip (Idolothrips spectrum) in my garden last night.

It was only about 1cm long, so 'Giant' is relative.

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was a shoe-in for my GOTY, but then HADES II happened. I'd vote for both if I could :(

WHAT ANNOYING GUYS THINK SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR SAYS: show everyone in every single situation you're the big dog, literally bark in your bosses face to assert dominance

ACTUAL SUN TZU: no but seriously you do have to feed your army

If they are being honest? I cannot emphasize enough what a terrible idea it is to use "the machine that tricks people" to generate "placeholder material" you intend to replace. You are just making everyone else's job harder by effectively hiding what needs to be replaced

This weird little alien is neither a mantis nor a mantisfly - it's actually a type of bug! Specifically Stenolemus fraterculus, an Assassin Bug that preys on spiders.
