Question for peeps that follow the latest #DnD stuff: What's the alignment status of hags at the moment? I know they removed the gender restrictions, but other than Volo's I've not seen non-evil hags featured in anything official.

It's a weird balancing act trying to make hands and feet that are recognizably human and simultaneously clearly not human. #sculpting

I can't tell anymore if this is satire or real, but it certainly would fit the Trump agenda to believe every voter is exactly this stupid or ignorant. (Maybe next they'll ban abortions from trans women?)

Europe now has: 20,500 brown bears (a 17% increase since 2016) 9,400 Eurasian lynx (12% increase) 1,300 wolverines (16% increase) 23,000 wild wolves (34% increase) 150,000 golden jackals (46% increase) - but none of those in the UK! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I really wish sometimes that I did not have to think about my enemies at all, and could concentrate on my friends and family. Especially since I do not know who most of those enemies are, and they don't know me. They just oppose the existence of all people like me, on principle. It is exhausting.

Treat me like a person. Treat me as an equal. Don't gaslight me. Don't dare treat me like a child. I'm not blind or clueless. I would rather take a rude and mean wording of the truth than a polite lie designed to trick me into feeling better that I know to be false. Just. Be. Honest.

Since God-Emperor Elon has made comedy legal on the United States of the Internet, I won't have to point out where the line between reality and satire lies, right? #Musk #children

I've been busy with stuff. This here is stuff. Say hi to the nice people, stuff.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

I made another discovery today: a new (old) instance of the Demonic Elongated Quetzalcoatlus! And It's attacking London! Apparently it is from Look and Learn, a British educational magazine for children published in 1982.

Apparently it's "If you're Finnish, sculpt something pachycephalosaur-related" week. At least based on what @villesinkkonen.bsky.social has been posting. I've been working on this all week. Not a real pachy but a fictional sophont largely based on Prenocephale and Pachycephalosaurus.

more progress....almost done with the head details

I discovered an old completely unedited book cover I'm sure did not raise any eyebrows 40 years ago. Now though... let's say there are some unintentional ways to interpret it. #VintageSciFi #bookcovers

Fellow Blue sky creatures that write fiction, how do you deal with projects dragging on and morphing in style & detail level? I'm trying to write what I thought would be short and terse life story, but over days it's become a description of moment-to moment life events. #writing

Yes, but... #MontyPython #Camelot #corpoliteposting

🚨 Big plesiosaur news 🚨 Our paper is out. We describe pigment cells and scales in a Jurassic plesiosaur. Small scales are found at the limbs which enforced them. Body and tail are scale-less. Many thanks to lead-author Miguel Marx & the team. www.cell.com/current-biol... #Science #News #Nature 1/3

I have the stupidest problems. Example: I've not opened a Cara gallery despite meaning to for months because I can't decide if I should stick to the username I had on DeviantArt to help people find me, even though I don't want to use it anymore. So I just remain stuck in indecision.

Happy #FossilFriday! I recently found out that you can access a magazine article on researchgate, which features my illustration of Oregramma illecebrosa!!! Enjoy! #paleoart #invertebrates #paleontology www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I watched the Kite Man show and got inspired to sculpt a heavily Kirby-based Darkseid. I sometimes wonder if I'm drawn to draw, paint and sculpt fictional monsters as a subconscious attempt to ward off real life evil. #JackKirby #NewGods #DCcomics
