Can skincare companies stop reformulating stuff? Please and thank you. Signed, someone who bought my usual cleanser only to find out it had a coconut derivative in it now :)

Is it time for #PortfolioDay again? Uff då. 🇸🇪

I'm Faith; a producer, artist, and author of non-binary transfem experience. I ruin my life for art. Recent years are defined by my award-winning work on Stardust, an indie transmedia sci-fi experience.

I need someone to put on parental controls to keep me out of canva past 10pm.

Anyway, here’s a link to my very gay fantasy novel about lesbians fighting god in space 🌸✨

the-hallowed.carrd.co

Digital collage art for the book Name Her Holy. It features art of the main characters, Jude and Kye, Jude is leaning over Kye holding her cheek, wearing armor. She has long auburn hair with an undercut, a scar over her nose, pale skin and freckles. Kye is looking up at her with pale spooky eyes, clinging to her with a hand caked in black soot. She has tan skin covered in light scars, dark brown short hair. Behind them is a collage of flowers, a statue of a winged woman, star charts, a swirling black void at the center of it all and words that read “She was not a woman, she was a terrible means to an end”.

They're very well balanced with each other. If Avaline were ever to post anything, it'd probably be a really bad picture of Kosma at a sports game. Grainy, too dark or too light, etc. But they both love it

Kosma's following astronomy accounts, animal rehabs, people who post landscape photography all over the world, cooking pages, & Avaline.

Avaline follows Kosma, HEMA accounts, women's sports teams, & one (1) bakery in Kosma's city that she can't stop thinking about. But also she's rarely on there.

Kris Madigan @krismadigan.bsky.social · 1d

Kosma ONLY uses Insta. She's posting Nipa, books she's reading, stars, & various aesthetic things. Her profile pic is her & the northern lights.

Avaline's only shows up to like a post or comment something mildly out of pocket. Kosma made her add a profile pic & she made it Nipa.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

For the sake of this hypothetical, your characters have social media in their world.

Do they use it? What kind of things are they posting about? Pictures, video, or text? What do they have as a profile pic?

It'll be raining tomorrow and I'm spending the windy, cool, incredibly Fall appropriate evening making salmon, applying for jobs, and thinking about how cozy I'll be tomorrow. I also picked up a used ps4 game for a friend and I get to test drive it in case I need to exchange it before I see them >:)

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

RIGHT??? I've had my eye on these for MONTHS but only just this weekend had an opportunity to pick them up because right now they only sell in person. The hardest part was picking what order to put them in the frame.

Got my hands on more art this weekend! In love with these two prints by @shantiland.bsky.social. They look great on the wall with my 2 of Swords print. ⚔️

A photo of framed prints. The top frame hangs horizontally, matte with two risograph prints in the colors black, red, orange, and grey. The one on the left has a sword and says "FIGHT HARD". The one on the right has two hands, clad in knightly armor, clasped together and says LOVE HARD. The art is by Shanti Rittgers

The second frame is not fully shown, a vertical black frame with a print emulating the two of swords. A redheaded knight lays curled on the snowy ground, arms over her eyes, swords in either direction. This art is by Sara Kipin

Hadih! I'm Jay, and I'm an LGBTQ+ Wet'suwet'en artist who makes formline art! Here I share my artwork as well as hyperfixation ramblings and other stuff that catches my fancy! Hope you enjoy your stay!~

A print illustration with a limited green, cream, and dark blue palette. The poster is divided into six rectangular sections. The top left shows a formline design of a raven in flight. The top right shows an illustration of Hornby Island Azhdarchids. The middle left shows a cliff overlooking the ocean, with bird-like silhouettes flying above. The middle right shows a shoreline of the ocean, with bird-like tracks in the sand. The bottom left shows an illustration of a raven. The bottom right shows a formline illustration of a Hornby Island Azhdarchid in flight.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.

A formline design of a hyena. The hyena is walking, with one back leg and one front leg raised, and it's back is arched forward, with a mane on it. It's head is tilted downward. The whole piece is coloured a near black with maroon and yellow-orange highlights, and the background is a solid bright orange.

A formline Illustration of a blue Glaucus with a circle design behind it. The design is backlit with stars and coloured in shades of dark blue to light teal.

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.

Dr. Kat Napaaqtuk❄️ @napaaqtuk.bsky.social · 1d

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

#LateNightWrite sometimes! Many of my projects have a playlist that's built while writing, though I'll sometimes add to it afterwards. I always know what project I was working on a lot that year when I see my music roundup. 😅 I'll be sharing the one for my new novella once it's out in the world!

I used barrelmancy this go around, and if I ever attempt a tact run again for the achievement, will DEFINITELY be doing it for more of the bosses.

Some of us are using it to take out Raphael's soul pillars and half his minions in the first round of combat.

I think it could be cool, I think it could be from Avaline's perspective this time... A followup, perhaps? Who knows! Much 2 Think About. It will, of course, have Nipa. He's non negotiable.

$Illustration of a juvenile and adult zebra shark swimming near the ocean floor. Sunlight streams through the water, light refracting onto the sand and backs of each shark. The adult swims below in a gentle curve while the juvenile swims overhead, demonstrating the black and white stripes that earned this shark its name.$

Maybe when I am less burnt out and have whatever my current/next project is on more solid ground and my next novella out in the world, I will consider playing in the world of Of All the Stars once more and doing a companion novella 🤔
