A brief look at Beeswax!

These have been up on Patreon for awhile now, but thought I should put them here. I've got a project or two to finish before coming back here, but I am so ready to see this all the way to the end.

Morning at Magreth's Curios, the sign blowing in the wind. "Ready to meet your destiny?" Magreth asks, her hand on a cylinder. "As I'll ever be." Soma says.

Magreth lifts her hand up, showing a pair of dice. "I got an eight! I win!" She says, clapping. Her and Soma are playing a board game.

Soma slumps his head forward. "I knew it'd end this way..." He murmurs. "You know, I'm not one to judge people for being lazy..." Caster chimes in from their bookshelf nook, "but I'm not the one that's gotta pay taxes."

Magreth turns, asking "Why can't we just have a simple, no-magic day?"

"You okay, Magreth? You're acting odd..." Soma asks. She raises her hands, "Of course, what you make you think I'm not? I'm doing just..." Magreth takes a breath. "Actually, no. Can't put my finger on what it is, but..."

"I can feel something about to change."

Dazzio grips his tome, the embedded screen blinking. He stands on his broom, looking out across the sky. "Looks like I've finally made it. After all these years..."

"You're coming home."

A teen wizard runs a magic makeup business with resources from his Fae, Merfolk and Undead friends. When he learns someone is stealing these same items–and there’s a link to his missing dads–he must find the thief or risk losing his friends, his business and the chance to find his parents #DVPit #GN

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Flat coloured drawing of a gyaru gal winking in the camera while doing a dramatic gasp motion. Her hand is covered in rings and painted nails. She's wearing a crop vest and jorts, which expose her heavily tattooed legs.

The japanese onomatopoeia "うわぁーあ。” appear near her head. Behind her it says, "LUCKY!!" and in the BG it says "07 Seven"

“The more ways that a student reports that their school uses AI, the more likely they are to report things like 'I know someone who considers AI to be a friend,' 'I know someone who considers AI to be a romantic partner.'"

1 in 5 high schoolers has had a romantic AI relationship, or knows someone who has

A national survey of students, teachers and parents shines a light on how the AI revolution is playing out in schools – including when it comes to bullying and a community's trust in schools.

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

Thinking of deleting this acc after all the Bsky shit, it took three years to get a save post feature, you think you can act all high and mighty when people ask you to do your job?

It's clear the people behind this place are just as bad as anywhere else, so like why help em out? Rather post on YT

Tower tarot card featuring Mars in the middle of a field under a stormy sky. He's turning back, a hand holding his old zweihander, a look of surprise and disbelief on his face. Out of the frame, Will's hand reaches for him. In the background, a dark tower shows part of the party stopping Mars from leaving.

a panel from my entry in Samidoon. it is sepia tone of a palestinan family walking. the caption reads "in 2024, the images from inside Gaza echo my family's storie from Palestine. the walk away from our tattered homes looks the same as 50 years ago." the 2024 is crossed out witht 2025 written next to it. my hands are shaking with rage and grief as i type
