Wish these headlines were written with an ounce of context and awareness informing them.

Like, “Desperate LLM Technologist Looks To Avoid Industry Bubble Burst By Promising Sad, Lonely ‘Erotic’ Feature Update” was sitting right there, and yet.

Champion of the people, #Zorro!

(Kind of had to re-ink this one after I was done because I realized the window rails shadow on Zorro wouldn’t work with a direct flame in front of him, so this is take 2!)

"The Red Thread"

I was recently cleaning out my files and came across an old game design doc I made in university for a game some friends and I wanted to make.

I really enjoyed the idea and wanted to draw some art of it, as well as the protagonist now that it's kicking about my brain again 😁.

A close up of a womans body can be seen against a red background, the background itself a gradient going from light red on the bottom to dark red on top.

In the image we see a woman's hands in front of her body, her clothes consisting of a nice orange sweater and a black skirt. She has long red nails as well.

In between her hands there is a large sewing needle that is suspended in space with a number of red threads. The threads themselves extend from the needle and wrap around the womans fingers.

Around the image we see a thin white border. At the top there is text that reads "For Good and for Ill" and at the bottom the text reads "It is the thread that binds us".

#Gamedesign #characterdesign #Horror #Fantasy

A slightly sad looking woman stands against a simple black and red background. She has shoulder length red hair, blue eyes and red lips and wears a simple sweater with a shirt underneath, a black skirt and tall black boots. She also has long red fingernails

In her hand she carries a rather large sewing needle, a large spool of red thread extending from it and around her other hand.

The background is a simple black square with a number of red threads extending across it, the words "Genevieve: Chosen Wielder of The Red Thread" written on it in white letters.

Re: the Labour shenanigans detailed in The Fraud. "Gordstein", it should be noted, was not a real person but an invention of Euan Philipps of Labour Against Antisemitism, who is not Jewish but made complaints under what he obviously considered to be a 'Jewish-sounding' name

Stefan Mohamed @stefmowords.bsky.social · 1d

particularly callous and inhumane detail here. these people never gave a fuck about Jews

"In September 2020 “Gordstein” was one of three complainants against Riva Joffe, an 80-year-old Jewish veteran of the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Her sin was to have described Israel as an Apartheid state (a view shared by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organisation B’tselem) and to have urged Jeremy Corbyn to stand up to the “Zionist lobby.”

The Labour Party opened a formal investigation and Joffe spent the closing days of her life penning an immensely dignified response from her death bed. “This frenzy of purging you are driven to – it’s not the behaviour of mature adults. It smacks of desperation, fear and panic,” she wrote.

Joffe lived in Starmer’s constituency and knew him personally. But a direct request on behalf of her son that the charges against her be posthumously dropped did not even elicit a response."
