I saw that Claudia Black is in House of Asher. I would watch her in anything at this point tbh

I've been watching Farscape and holy cow that show is salacious 😅 I could see how it influenced both Mass Effect and BSG in ten different ways

Art always has been and always will be political! Sometimes finding words that carry enough weight to express the seriousness of the atrocities committed near and far is difficult. In those moments I hope that art can convey where my words fail.

My take on Farigiraf!

This is my first art post on Bluesky, and my first finished drawing in like a year 😅 hopefully I'll be posting more from here.

✨The Chrysillium Trees✨
Across my stories, these sacred trees root the world in magic and mystery 🌌 Mystical beings called the Shalik once pulled them from the stars—before vanishing centuries ago.

The trees echo through all three stories, and I can’t wait to share more with you 💙

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

From Punta Sur in Isla Mujeres, which is the easternmost point in Mexico so it's the first to see the sunrise.

The sun rises behind clouds over a teal blue ocean, crashing against large rocks on the shore. #somethingbeautiful

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
