Explain your username:

It is Mäofrräo for "The complexities of the associations of group of groups", a.k.a. the name for "The Great Alliance"

ʔin = "a group of groups"
ma = "association"
ra = "complexity"

As a massive polyplex and generational plural system, we are an allied group of groups.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Hey y'all, help me out here? I'm trying to get on #vgen, but to do so I need to get this post to 100 likes and at least 20 reposts. Would you be willing to share my art to help me?

A tricolor heron stands in the shallows at sunset, a wing extended to shade the water while he hunts for his dinner. He has one leg up in the traditional 'water bird' stance. His feathers are blue, fading to purples and greys, with bright flashes of yellow underneath.

A black lab stares at the viewer, she has a blue collar on and deep, soulful brown eyes. Her name is Millie and I got to meet her when I delivered this commission. It was very good.

A big ol' crow, with shades of blue and purple irridescence in his feathers. He's landed on a tree with little small sprigs of leaves coming off of it. This was a gift to my Brother and Sister-In-Law, at the birth of my niece, who's middle name is Morrigan.

18x24in, wip. #tiger, in color pencil.

This is taking me so long, if they find me dead with a pencil still clutched in one hand, laying next to this drawing then know for sure that this is what did me in.

The pain persists but so do I.

Jane Goodall was an early hero of mine, and certainly played a part in my love of animals through her work with chimps.

RIP, Legend. I will always regret never getting to meet you in person, but I treasure that I got to exist at the same time that you did. #JaneGoodall #Rip

It would appear that I have leveled up, now instead of NFT scam emails, I'm getting scam emails from galleries that are all pay-to-play. Nah, pass.

Either you pay a very low rent + % commission, or just a flat, higher % commission. Anything else is a total s c a m.

If it's any extra help, here's a few more. Please like and repost the original post though!

Hen & Mouse

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Silhouette drawing in black ink of a hen standing with one leg poised, facing a mouse who looks up at her as it stands on a broken branch in the grass. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

So in light of so many states fast-tracking various UK-style "you must be an adult to use DMs" laws which are all being fought in court, remember that BlueSky is a federated, distributed platform internally.

Good adblock can block it.

Sharing for a friend: All Paws Matter Animal Rescue in Granite Falls, NC, urgently needs help for a cat named Molly with a massive tumor.

They're trying to raise $300 just to get her to the vet as they are completely out of money. She will be going to Hudson Animal Hospital.

I took this in our driveway the morning Helene hit. The nearest creek is HUNDREDS of yards away and it's completely flat here. I still don't know where this water even came from. It was up to the seat of the picnic bench of the little reataraunt on the left.

Here are some photos of during and after, of my town. I don't know how we cleaned this mess up, but we did. They still haven't repaired the rail lines that run over the mountain, we haven't heard a train in one full year.

🌸 Ariesian 🌸 アリエシアン 🌸 @ariesian.bsky.social · 12d

it hurts my heart in ways I don't have words for. I guess I have PTSD from what we lived through, what we saw. It was terrible. Just a terrible time. But through it all, the generosity and kindness of our fellow humans shined through. Without certain folx, this little town wouldn't have made it.

There are so many feelings coming up, it's strange how much of this I've compartmentalized to get through it all. People are STILL missing. They are STILL finding bodies. Lake Lure is just a dort road in the old riverbed, nothing is left.

Today marks one year since Hurricaine Helene devastated my town and all of Western NC. We've recovered and come so far, but there is so much left to be done. I never thought I would live through a natural disaster, and I can definitely say that I do not recommend it. #wnc #Helene

I've only been able to get about an hour of work done each day on this piece before the aches swing back in and take me to pain town. I am still healing steadily, though, and getting better every day.

A work in progress drawing of a tiger as it emerges from a dark and veafy jungle. The front half of the cat is just sketched in, while most of the back half has been rendered to a point where it is somewhat recognizable.
