I experimented with a graffiti style Smothering Tithe alter for a friend who has been enjoying the 2025 trend of graffiti alters. Playing with typography is so fun and brings me back to my graphic design roots.

NYT landing page right now:

1) Trump is so cool!
2) Trump says that his paramilitary did a great thing shooting that lady, who are we to question the word of the President?!?

This is very well done. The NYT journalist who made this should send it to the editors of the NYT whose landing page articles still amplify Trump lies about the victim, defending ICE murdering her.

I was made aware of this possible attack vector last night and was kindly informed that we could be vulnerable to it on our landing page. As soon as I was made aware I turned off our landing page till it could be tested. All PDS operations are still operational, but the landing page is down for now.

Be aware that there are accounts attempting to steal session keys. This particular method won’t work using the Bluesky app for a couple of reasons, but third party apps may be vulnerable to similar attempts.

We will attempt to automatically label these as Platform Manipulation.

Next up: Phora, the lonely spider 🕷️
Took a while, but I'm finally continuing the reference sheet series, with now only 2 members from the crew missing 🙏😌👀

#oc #ocart #ocsky #ocreference #originalcharacter #nightseekerpirates #nightseekerpiratesref

Reference sheet of my oc Phora, a female Ingari (og race) with very pale skin and light gray eyes. She has short white hair with black strands, and wears a black hairband. Two small dark blue horns stick outside of her forehead. She also has slightly spiky ears, that are usually fully covered by her hair. There is also a small mole under her right eye. She wears a dark gray robe that has a dark blue lining. The robe has blank spots aligning with a giant spider design. These blank spots are filled with golden threads that resemble a spider net. Phora wears white gloves that almost reach her elbow, with each finger on the glove except the index finger being black instead of white. Her bust is covered by a black sports-bra like fit that also has a spider web like stocking covering her chest. Her belly is fully exposed, revealing a black tattoo resembling roses and thorns that go from her bowels all the way up to her ribs. There is also another tattoo of the jolly roger of the Nightseeker Pirates on her right arm, which is usually hidden when she wears her robe. Additionally Phora wears black skintight pants that have a long and a short side. The short side is additionally covered with stockings that also have a spider net pattern. The long side has multiple leather stripes going down her leg from all sides. She also has short boots with golden arrow-like ornaments. These golden arrow ornaments are also found on various other belts that hold her pants and her robe. As an Ingari, Phora not only has horns but also a tail that has the same shade of blue as her horns. Most of her tail however is covered in white bandages, only the beginning and the tip of her tail are fully exposed. Phora is an archer, so she has a black bow that somehow resembles a spider with it's legs forming the body of the bow. The bow as well as the arrow have golden spider web elements to them as well.

Today's doodle:

A white page filled with black scribbles. Where the lines intersect, the corners have been rounded off, creating a kind of abstract web.

The same design as before, now done in shades of purple and blue, with light blue zentangle patterns in all of the spaces created by the tangled web.

A BBS for the 90s: Excalibur.

As the fledgling World Wide Web matured, BBS's found themselves with a dilemma: do they stay the same or do they evolve? Excalibur, launched in 1993, was one of those that embraced a new Web-inspired GUI, hyperlinks, acting as that bridge between the two worlds.
