✨ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! 🎄

"Yuletide Library" art by Elisabeth Alba created with ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache.

Illustration set in a cozy library, evening snow outside. A badger sits in a green armchair with a mug of cocoa, the fox climbs a ladder to reach a book, and a rabbit decorates a Christmas tree.

Here's a concept I enjoy much more in retrospect:

All animals have been released from zoos! Now humans have to fill in for them

...Sucks when you get stuck as one though 😏

#tfeveryday #tftuesday #tfsky #transfur

One subject slowly transforming into a dolphin, the other turning into a dinosaur, thinking "god damn gary stealing my dolphin duty again"

Panel showing the now fully-transformed dinosaur being told that they cannot transform back at the end of their shift, as the sun is setting:

"What do you mean?!"

"yeah, we can't find the reversal formula for your 'base' form, so you're gonna be stuck like this for now." "For how long?!"

"Until we get our next shipment"

"so, a day? A week??"

"oh, you really don't understand your situation, do you?"

Dinosaur at home conversing with parents in a very crammed space - with hole in the wall marking their entry into the interior.

"how did they lose something like that?"

"well, you know how terrible the new management is..."

"Still going on that hike?"

"I guess."

"..."

"..."

"You could've stayed outside --"

"IT'S COLD!"

Panel showing dinosaur on hike with mountains in distance, alongside 8 other people, carrying everyone's equipment, with small text pointing at the subject "TEMP EQUIPMENT COURIER"

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

In 2026, countries that want to win the trade war have a unique historical possibility: They could repeal their “anticircumvention” laws, which make it illegal—a felony, in many cases—to modify devices and services without permission from their manufacturers. Over the past two decades, the office of the US Trade Representative–which is responsible for developing and coordinating US international trade, commodity, and direct investment policy—has pressured most of the world into adopting these laws, hamstringing foreign startups that might compete with Apple (by providing a jailbreaking kit that installs a third-party app store), or Google (by blocking tracking on Android devices), or Amazon (by converting Kindle and Audible files to formats that work on rival apps), or John Deere (by disabling the systems that block third-party repairs), or the Big Three automakers (by decoding the encrypted error messages mechanics need to service our cars). The rents that these digital locks help American companies extract run to hundreds of billions of dollars every single year. The world’s governments agreed to protect this racket in exchange for tariff-free access to American markets. Now that the US has reneged on its side of the bargain, these laws serve no useful purpose.

I have shared this before, and it was taken my my brother, but it fits so well to today's theme. Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

##EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Neuschwanstein #Castle #Germany

Looking up at the towers and turrets of Neuschwanstein Castle covered in snow. There is a forest on the hill at its base which is also completely covered in snow. The entire image is shades of white and looks so pure and pretty.

If your complaint of blusky is mainly that its "boring" compared to Twitter then I strongly suggest u rlly think about all the time u waste endlessly scrolling thru so much bullshit on that site. Please learn to not always be on social media 24/7.
