Falls Sie deutsch lesen können, ich habe für @spiegel.de ein "Tagebuch" über eine Woche unter Trumps Regierung geschrieben.

This week on the blog: Impossible Logistics! Absurd Plans! *Terrible* Lighting! That's right, we're back to Rings of Power, season 2 to begin our look at the ten layers of hot nonsense that was the Siege of Eregion, starting with - of course - Logistics! acoup.blog/2025/02/21/c...

One more time, because I’m not afraid of being fired from the VA - and I will NOT let this go quietly.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

THESE LIFELESS THINGS is my Sleeper Banger and I think I've mentioned this before but like, this contains some of my VERY FAVOURITE writing (and ideas, and imagery) and my last royalty statement for it indicated zero (0) sales over the previous six months. I DON'T CAAAAAAARE I STILL LOVE IT

If you see this, and you're in the mood for this kind of thing, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

“I'm a sucker for the found family trope! Misfits who get together who, in any other reality or timeline, would never have met or had anything to do with each other. But here they are. How do they make it work?” - Safiyya Ingar on The Time Tunnel: https://bgfn.sh/TTUno

Hi! I decided to try Bluesky so I don't have all of my eggs in the Instagram basket. I'll probably mostly post about the masters program in Scientific Illustration that I'm doing, but I'm still figuring it out! This pencil drawing was made in a 1:1 scale, and then digitally colored

Turns out my artist doesn't particularly like purple, but he did a lovely job on this cover nonetheless... 😆💜

Scum have raided the Drents Museum and stolen archaeological masterpieces. They used explosives to get in. Probably stolen to order. Keep an eye out for them. May the Helmet of Coțofenești curse the thieves. drentsmuseum.nl/en/news/clos... nltimes.nl/2025/01/25/a...

Horrific news out of Assen, Netherlands. Thieves used explosives to access the Drents Museum and made off with several antiquities from ‘Dacia – Empire of Gold and Silver’, including the masterpiece the golden Helmet of Coțofenești, c. 450 BCE, a loan from the National History Museum of Romania. 🏺 😡
