At some point this weekend at NYCC M:TG is announcing the Spring mystery Universe’s Beyond expansion, and I really hope it’s not HP :/

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

Everyone’s really into Sisyphus games lately. I sure that doesn’t mean anything.

Buttondown is solid (I moved there from Tinyletter when it shuttered), but it’s only free up to 99 subs—however they have a really good page full of alternatives to explore! (Some free, others paid)

princess of the underworld

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

I am still thinking of this drawing. I was out buying groceries and I was thinking about this drawing. I was thinking of what I should draw and I was thinking about this drawing. I do not want to stop thinking about this drawing.

…when I shelve this will it make all my other books scented too??? Will it linger?

Did they invent a book virus????

Emily C. Hughes @emilyhughes.bsky.social · 6d

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

Everybody should read this. Gives you a really good idea of the types of questions trans people have to ask ourselves almost every day just to do normal things that others don’t even need to think about.

An essay about death threats, censorship, loss, and the silence of cis people. All of these events happened in one week. I'm exhausted.

@magic.wizards.com previewed beautiful @serenamalyon.bsky.social art for the Hobbit release featuring Smaug & Bilbo meeting within the hoard of gold!

Serena already has multiple gorgeous Hobbit/LOTR pieces in her body of work.

Check out her inprnt gallery here: www.inprnt.com/collections/...

A dragon (Smaug) lays across an absolutely massive golden hoard as a small figure (Bilbo) climbs the pile.

Beautiful painting in predominantly red and gold hues by Serena Malyon.

The tree city of Lothlórien, home of the elves. A spiral staircase winds up a giant tree with golden leaves, buildings hanging from its brances like ornaments. At the top of the image, the fellowship greets Galadriel and Celeborn. At the bottom of the image we see Frodo peering into the basin with Galadriel.

A painting of Smaug lying in his hoard beneath the dwarven caves of the Lonely Mountain.

In the foreground we see a hobbit leaving his home in the night - in the background we see a party happening under a massive tree, while fireworks light up the sky.

There’s a lot of dark in the world and I’m trying and doing what I can, but I’m also real glad for MTG to be little spots of joy. Really jazzed for the next year of stuff. Looks cool!
