After two and a half months of PD back pain is killing me. Need a break, work on physio, and do some #minipainting. Been looking for some more rat folk w/o having to buy an army. Found a limited scope project with this #ageofsigmar #warhammer kit. Let’s see how long it takes.

When I was a postdoc @ NASA/Ames in 1989 Bill Borucki was that guy who wouldn’t stop talking about his out-there idea for a space telescope that could detect exoplanets. He persevered. His brilliant idea finally gained support, launched, worked, revealed to us we live in a universe full of planets!🧪

Carlos Diaz just dropped this amazing cover art for GdM#42 (1 April) on @bethtabler.bsky.social and we are both SWOONING. Any guesses at which awesome dark fantasy world this scene depicts (cheeky hint: it's a five book series)?

🗿📜 Did you know that statues are not the only wonder of ancient culture found on Easter Island? Besides the monolithic human figures known as moai, another great puzzle seen in this southeastern Pacific Ocean island is rongorongo, a mysterious system of glyphs carved on wooden tablets. 🧵⬇️ (1/6)
