I keep exploring new textures and techniques with this nymph and her lunar poppies. Finished just in time to apply for the IBA 11 contest 🤞

I was not booed yesterday on Bajor. It was 90% cheering and maybe 10% booing.

A special extra warm cat bed, what else are dogs for?!

Alloway Kirk, the ruined church in South Ayrshire, #Scotland, where Robert Burns set his witches' dance in his poem Tam O'Shanter. Tam, returning home from a heavy session at the pub, sees warlocks & witches dancing & the devil playing the bagpipes. Burns's father, mother & sister are buried in the kirkyard. #gothic #Romanticism #poetry #literature #folklore #churches

The things that I want for Christmas can't be bought at a store. That's right: human souls.

Bat misericord, Wells Cathedral. Misericords are wooden structures found beneath or on the undersides of folding seats and can be decorated with all kinds of #wierd stuff. #gothic #churches #bats #folklore #history

You are fantastic. You are a treasure chest full of rare Garbage Pail Kids pogs. You are a vole in chainmail riding her trusty capybara through a field of wildflowers. You are a gothic castle that features stained glass windows depicting scenes from Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.

I hold the philosophical position that if two things are indistinguishable, their difference is irrelevant.

"What if we live in a simulation?" -- irrelevant
"What if you couldn't tell the difference between taking to a computer and a real person?" -- irrelevant

But more precisely, it's begging the question to say "imagine something was indistinguishable, now how would you treat it differently???"

O'Brien was a union man. Solidarity forever, even from the future.

I think the bar for pies has been set.
Nerdy bonus though, if I make more than one then there would be _______.

Today, a federal judge issued a punishment against one of the biggest, most egregious union busters: Amazon.

The company was directed to stop retaliating against any employees for workplace organizing activities protected under the National Labor Relations Act.

It’s about time.

"The old king"

Not a new illustration but I still still it. This elder tree, lost in his forest and tourments.
It always gave me the feeling he could be a part of a Dark Souls game. What do you think about it?
