There are ZERO riots. I am in downtown Los Angeles. There are live feeds of everything that was here and what went down in Paramount. Dudes on mini bikes making noise and people holding Fuck Ice signs etc. But no violence from protesters. None. Cannot say the same about the opposition.

always remember: β€œI was just following orders” is not a valid defense for human rights violations

This absolute icon at Canterbury Pride 🩷🀍🩡

Attended our local #Pride today πŸ’šπŸŒˆ It is always so lovely to march with all our queer siblings. #TransRightsAreHumanRights Personal Highlight: Someone complimenting me, saying I look like a fairy πŸ‘Œ (The double meaning in English is amazing, yet wasn't intended in German as far as I could tell)

"The Lembas Bread" - This LotR movie fanart is the second assignment I illustrated for the SmArtschool class with Cynthia Sheppard, "Illustrating the Emotional Narrative". In this case, a Frodo&Sam drama where Gollum is very literally driving a wedge between them 😨

I added a breakdown of my typical art commission process to my website, for those who are curious ⬇️ www.kristinagehrmann.com/process Any questions about it? I'd be happy to include more info. 😊

Also, tips for managing the new pattern hellscape: 1. Don't buy sewing patterns that don't have an IRL sewn example of what it looks like. Drawings and 3D renders do not reflect what you actually get. Many of them are AI generated, not graded, and certainly haven't been proven to work IRL.

What an extraordinary, beautiful thing. Sometimes the only sensible response to scientific discovery is wonderment and awe.

Ok ;; I need some space in our home and therefore need to relocate some stuff So there will be a huge Pin purge next week πŸ™β€οΈ with lots of Disney, Marvel, PokΓ©mon, DnD, Mermaids, other fandoms etc. All Pay what you want, I mostly want shipping covered Hope to find a good new home for these things πŸ‘Œ

a plethora of fluttering thoughts in my head like flat notes, stacked dangerously high buzzing like a swarm of bees ready to follow the hungry colours of summer but the door is barred the hive is antsy and the produce of their labour is overflowing sticky rich wasted #ElfWrites #writing

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

As Gaza faces over three months of Israeli blockade, a group of 12 activists is sailing to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. The mission includes the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke with Democracy Now! live from the Madleen.

Eid Mubarak! ✨ This celebration, Eid al-Adha, is all about trust during hardship. Sometimes life asks hard things of us, but today is a reminder of the joys that come after trusting we’ll make it through. It acknowledges the sacredness in perseverance. πŸ’œ

doing art for the sake of doing art is good for the soul and you should be doing it regardless of how much practice you've put in

So, apparently, the company that owns the Big 4 sewing pattern companies (and Perler fusible beads among other brands) just sold those assets to a liquidation company. Those are the last printers of tissue paper sewing patterns AFAIK. Kind of crazy. craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

My new collection of tea bag bookmarks will be available on June 13th!

Does anyone know any emote artists that are accepting commissions? I'd love to talk about turning my D&D PCs into some Discord emojis!

omg this sketch is from last year but I must repost twilight star's first kiss for pride!!! πŸ’– #art #oc #ocsky #dnd

Tfw you beta read your brother's thesis (where did the time go and how is it possible he's graduating already) and the list of abbreviations starts looking like an eye sight test Will I understand all of this? Highly doubt it πŸ˜… But there we go

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. πŸ’™

Greta Thunberg on why it’s essential for climate activists to speak out on Gaza: "The reason I am a climate activist is not because I want to protect trees. I'm a climate activist because I care about human, planetary well-being and those are extremely interlinked."

once again i am Thinking about the people who feel like they need to give up fandom or creative interests because they have "grown up." do you think adults don't get to have fun? do you think life is fundamentally over after youth? do you think life is abt punishing yourself for the sin of existing?

happy pride month!

Das ist ΓΌbrigens genau das was ich meine, wenn ich bei VortrΓ€gen frage was man glaubt wer zwischen einem selbst und einem Unrechtsstaat stehen wird? Es sind die Leute um einen herum: die Nachbar_innen, die Freund_innen, die Gemeinschaft. Das ist die Quelle des Widerstands.

@tsijonphoto (on IG) took pictures all weekend at MCM and he took some time to get some awesome shots of me and my fellow Silver Sabres people as well. The awesome cape is made by my love @selenlanoir.bsky.social πŸ₯°πŸ’•

"but my nostalgia" "but she doesn't own the fandom" "but I'm not going to give her money I'm just going to keep her property culturally relevant forever" "but also I'm definitely going to give her money and just pretend I didn't" Children's media consumed by adults funding fascism. Wild.

Anyways here is a way to turn off that extra Google ai search bs that is unhelpful and generally wrong. www.tomshardware.com/software/goo...
