A drawing of Eris Morn in her home, relaxed in a comfortable armchair reading a book with a mug of tea in her hand. There's a table next to her with a tiny pillow for her Ahamkara bone orb and a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies. Eris' mug says "don't talk to me until I've had my tithes." She is in comfortable clothes with a headscarf tied around her hair. Warm sunlight streams through the window from behind her. She smiles slightly, at peace.

Mythal and Solas in ancient Arlathan. Solas kneels on the ground, his head in Mythal's lap. Mythal sits on a throne with an intricate tree-like design. She looks down on Solas with affection and is playing with his hair. Bright light streams in from windows behind them, casting dark shadows on their forms. The architectural design of the room is very curvy and gentle, much like designs you might see in Rivendell in Lord of the Rings. Outside, the sun is bright and the trees are autumnal.

A portrait of the artist's original character, Haleth Aebar. She has long brown hair braided into a bun, a strong nose, tan skin, and moles across her face. She wears a red cape thrown over the shoulder of some dull silver armour. She looks wistfully upward.

Solas and Inquisitor Lavellan in a wagon in the noonday sun. Inquisitor Menae Lavellan, a brown-skinned, red-haired and freckled elf, sleeps on Solas' shoulder, using a folded up blanket as a pillow to support her head. Her face is slightly smushed against it. Solas is looking at a book in his lap, a slight smile on his face. Each of them has a backpack resting against their side. Solas' is open to reveal books and a scroll. There is a round basket full of apples on the floor in front of Menae.

It's still Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

And may the name of Benjamin Netanyahu be erased.

“Daddy…we just want to live like before”
Small words from my kids, yet they fall on my heart like a mountain.

I'm trying to provide my family with the simplest of needs.. but sometimes I feel the weight is too heavy to carry alone.💔

Your support can ease this burden.🙏

I have little hope in Israel maintaining a ceasefire, but for now, we celebrate

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 23h

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

Due to a new bill signed by NC Governor Josh Stein (a Democrat), the moratorium on our state's death penalties has been ended and may now proceed via *any* method. Welcome back, barbarity.

Jacob Geller @jacobgeller.com · 19d

In the book, my essay “The False Evolution of Execution Methods” will be accompanied by a new essay by Lyle May. May interrogates capital punishment from his singular perspective; he has been incarcerated on North Carolina’s death row for over twenty years.

Just had a call with Lyle where we talked about possible edits to his essay, while at any time, North Carolina could decide to throw him in a gas chamber. How is it possible to create a system this cruel.

So.

We've been denied financial aid, and the surgery is not being considered "emergent" thus no bypassing pre-payment. Which means we HAVE to pay on the date of surgery, which is later this month.

I'm going to be offering these portraits for anyone donating $50+ to the gofundme, details below

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

I was thinking abt suitcases honestly... + then I can send them back home with my parents because they're not my suitcases and also they'll be empty and less of a burden to take back

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I've only ever partially moved out to go to school (ie not bringing my whole life with me and thus not my books) so I have no idea if there's a more efficient way than just sticking them in boxes

calling a fascist fat is just admitting you think it's worse to be fat than to be a fascist.

You are telling every fat person in your life that they disgust you, that their bodies are comical or degenerate or useless. You are telling every fat person in your life you don't respect them.
