YEAAAAHAHAHAA I'm glad you love em :D. N yeah the flora one is my fav of the two. It's always a delight seeing plantlife be in the spotlight in spec-evo works with how much they're reduced to being background elements.

Oh hey peep these quick experimental paintings I just made this night of a Sheethead and an early look at some flora and the sky of their homeworld :)

Hi. I'm making a new project called SHEETHEADS. It's gonna be a mostly wildlife focused project to get wild with creature design. For a world where animals can "see" without eyes. Where each tree is a city of zooids. Where the planet dances with a binary partner.

Another art piece (intended for smaugust) this time for @jennywolfie.bsky.social's project Trail of Cryptids. Featuring a Sophont Dragon species that specialize in small prey, hunt with fire, and foster lost human children.

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.

Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

Work in progress from art class Om taking at uni. Learning I'm a delicate shader I guess lol...also that fabric is a whole ordeal

Picture of a large page in a sketchbook containing a charcoal drawing of a cotton sheet suspended from two nails. The fabric has many points where it folds and rolls in on itself. It almost looks like a cape.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

9. The policy has not yet been adopted. The FBI is still in the developmental phase, and Heritage is still in the advocacy stage. It would NOT label all trans people as terrorists.

But it would open the door to disruption and surveillance that echo America's darkest chapters.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.

Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.

It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

Republicans Push FBI To Designate Trans Advocacy As Violent Extremism. Inside The Project 2025 Organization's Proposal.

On Thursday evening, news emerged that individuals within and outside of Trump administration were pushing to cast trans activists as domestic terrorists. Then, Project 2025 dropped its proposal.

An Elf in their true, unglamoured form. The mindset of these beings is so alien they're often seen as more terrific than even Angels & Demons. Infamous for deeds from poisoning crops to killing & abducting livestock & humans, seeing us as especially "fun" playthings (Art by @gaelcasas.bsky.social)

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state.

You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread.

Don't pretend this isn't possible

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" proposes a total ban on porn in the state, and also targets the existence of trans people online, content like erotic ASMR, and selling VPNs in the state.
