Wir haben Geschichte geschrieben! Eine Mehrheit der Hamburger:innen hat beim Volksentscheid für ein neues Klimagesetz gestimmt. Während die Bundesregierung in Sachen Klima den Rückwärtsgang einlegt, geht #Hamburg nach vorne. Demokratisch und gerecht.

Hoffnung bleibt Handarbeit.

A chance encounter

illustration inspired by the Scandinavian fairytale, "Bride of the Lindworm". A prince in the form of a lindworm perches on a moss-covered rock and peers curiously at a shepherdess from across a dark pond. The woman reaches toward him. The scene is set in a dark forest.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

Worst part is that it feels perfectly set up for origin stories - and then they just didn’t get the budget for it / management decided to cut it. Because those tiny little bits we do get for the faction backgrounds in character creation? Feel perfect for playable tutorial content.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Brook and Lucanis 🕯️
commission for @victia.bsky.social

Painting depicting Lucanis and Brook sitting on a stone bench at night. He is holding her hand and kissing it, while she leans back and looks at him lovingly. Behind them the city of Treviso.
Next to them on the left, there's a vase with chrysanthemums and asters, and next to it a burning candle. Under it, a chain is wrapped around one of the pillars of the bench. On the right, a mask, suggesting, together with her holding another in her hand, that they are taking a moment to themselves during a masquerade.
She is also holding a strelitzia flower in her hand.
On the bottom right side of the painting, there is also a small hourglass.

The painting is heavily referencing "The Kiss" by artist Wilhelm Menzler (1924)

Der liebe Stefan (wenn er einen bluesky Account hat, bitte verlinken) hat ein tolles Bild von meinem Charakter Nicodemus auf dem #zeitderlegenden gemacht:

Das Bild zeigt einen larp Charakter namens Nicodemus in einem fantasievollen Kostüm. Er trägt einen hellen grauen Mantel mit einer grauen Gugel mit Pelzbesatz und auf dem Kopf eine lederne Kappe mit einer befestigten Schutzbrillen und metallischen Details. An der Rückseite der Kappe hängen mehrere lange, geflochtene oder kunstvoll gestaltete Strähnen. Der Mann hat einen kurz rasierten Haarschnitt an den Seiten, einen gepflegten Bart und einen Ohrring. Im Hintergrund sind verschwommen andere Personen oder Figuren in ähnlicher Kleidung sowie Zelte zu erkennen, was auf eine Larp Veranstaltung im Freien hindeutet.

People who are better at modding DAV than me, does anyone know if someone has edited the mesh for the Embellished Assassins Jacket to remove the gloves/long sleeves?

Editing the colors slightly, and I think it would just look better without the gloves, but I don't know how to do that 😭

O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?
