She watches from beyond the stars, where flesh becomes more.

She is waiting.

The Website for the zine Visions Of: the Impossible Artist. A starry background show cades an eye through a keyhole as a bloody fog roles in. The image describes the zine as "23 pages of horror fiction inspired by Poe, Lovecraft, and Octavia Butler. An entrant to the 2024 Text Heavy Zine Jam"

The blurb: "There is chaos in Detroit. There is horror woven and painted into the changing of the seasons and unholy Eldritch abominations have come closer to our world. It is not the first time nor the last. This booklet features the research of our team into the life of Una Brankovic, one of the first female artists known for her work in the grotesque and who mysteriously disappeared shortly after her third exhibition. Through interviews with her peers we hoped to learn more of her life and her attendance at the church of the Crimson Veil. Little did we know the truth has a way of finding us and the dark untamed places of the human heart."

This is fucking beautiful. I have been working on my eco sci-fi series and this just inspired me. Annihilation is needing a revisit as well. Love the colors and vibrance of this artwork...it makes me want to get back into eco fic worlds.

All Art is derivative of what came before it. I needed to learn Shakespeare to surpass Shakespeare.

Inventing oral history, books, internet, arts, stories, passed on accumulations of lived experiences, wisdoms, & Species-wide knowledge, is what makes us fundamentally sentient over other animals.

It sucks the way the humanities are being eroded & labeled unimportant. For every rant against a “new identity,” there is an ancient poem or painting or song or or or that tells us there is nothing new under the sun

She “said that she tried to tell the agents that her baby was due w/in days. 'OK, your baby is going to be born here, but you're from Mexico, right?' they responded. 'I was born here,' López Alvarado later told Spanish-language media. 'I was born in Los Angeles; I was born in Hollywood Hospital.'"

new from @tusk81.bsky.social:

Cary López Alvarado, a U.S.-born American, was days away from giving birth when she was violently restrained by masked deportation agents. She’s among several Americans filing claims against DHS, ICE, and CBP for racial profiling and civil rights violations.
‘I Was Born In Hollywood Hospital’: U.S. Citizens File Legal Claims Against The Federal Government For Civil Rights Violations
Among Americans harassed by immigration agents include a woman who was days away from giving birth and a special needs teen who was held at gunpoint outside a school.

Healing will feel like a personal attack to the people who benefitted from the unhealed version of yourself. You changing is often their them losing their comfort.

Also I forgot they teased chemistry between Storm and Angel, and I got to say...it works. It reminds me oddly of her attraction to Black Panther and Wolverine. She admires people with the courage to embrace themselves.

It seems like a particularly good time to rewatch some X-Men media. In times a week face oppressive systems of control looking to the fantasy world can help give us ideas, share ideas, and affirm what we know to be right.

Recommended watch: Wolverine and the X-Men

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

srsly tho, Bluesky's new ToS is a slippery slope for what's gonna be considered "too explicit" in the near future.
The reason many artists even came to this platform was for the freedom of expression in their art that sites like Tumblr took away from them.

Idk man, I'm just tired.

The Trump administration is ending a decades-long effort to track food security, calling it “politicized,” at a time when many Americans are struggling to get proper nutrition or enough to eat.

If we’re discussing supporting local journalism, we have to give strong recommendation to our friends at the Chicago Reader, as well. They’re good dedicated journalists.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Wherever you are in the process, you're doing great. Take a moment to appreciate how far you've come. Then challenge yourself to keep learning, keep evolving, keep pushing. You've got this!

Due to financial issues I stopped working on the idea of self publishing the Mangrove series earlier this year. I and debating taking the time to run things through critique circle.
