My good friend @deraillieur.bsky.social took this lovely and timely picture.

I liked how Brazilian Army forces fighting in Italy in WW2 had a shoulder patch of a snake smoking a pipe.

Second World War Brazilian Expeditionary Forces patch of a green snake on a yellow background smoking a pipe. The word 'Brasil' is at the top in white letters on a royal blue field. The entire insignia is bordered in red.

Since Halloween is coming up, I decided to dress Monaka as Little Red Riding Hood.

I thought about asking Mugi or Marron to play the wolf, but then I remembered—they hate dogs.
They looked at me like I was something disgusting.

そろそろハロウィンも近いので、モナカに赤ずきんのコスプレをさせてみた。
ムギかマロンに狼役を頼もうかと思ったが、そういえば2人は【犬が大嫌い】だった事を忘れていた。

The Bustericorde is a misericorde/bustersword hybrid I made for a client who was all about #FF7, it's only fitting to show it off again on a Final Fantasy release day! This entire piece is made from all recycled and salvaged materials, including the custom blue stain on the handle.

A short knife held out on my forearm, it has a squarish blade, an ornate brass guard, and a blue and copper grip.

Another shot of the blade in total showing the juxtaposition of its industrial blade and ornate handle

The final fantasy new game/continue screen with my knife photoshopped in

A close up of the handle. A blue stained grip with a copper wire wrap and a copper pommel.

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.

Hasan Piker and the Future No One Is Ready For

The backlash that Piker is facing shows the consequences of a world where everyone is constantly being recorded and our internet is built to reward outrage and controversy.
