Saved by ADHD! I've been meaning to look into protein supplements forever but procrastinated enough that there is now an investigation 😂

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 15h

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 22h

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

What Pamela Whitten has done to the IDS and the Journalism School is disgraceful. I am disgusted and the school won't get another dime from me until Whitten (and Quinn Buckner, her accomplice) are gone.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Yes, yes, *yes*... I was 18 in 1995; 21 in 1998.

We grew up with 70s and 80s soul/R&B, R&B, 80s and 90s golden age hip hop... then New Jack Swing and gangsta rap... R&B hooks as features on hip hop tracks....

So proud that we gave them their flowers. Soul thrived and was beloved under our watch.

I don't think it would happen here for the same reason but it's funny to remember how economic mismanagement leading to chronic shortages of cooking oil is one of the major factors that sparked the massive protests that doomed Ceausescu.

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

Created for Peculiar Path Inc.; A painting of a cluster of boats and ships in front of an oil rig; the centermost ship is an aircraft carrier; all have been converted into solarpunk living spaces with visible gardening and retrofitted elements. The sea is calm, the sky is blue with big fluffy clouds, it feels peaceful and hopeful and vibrant.

Created for Numizmatic Games. A sheet of black and white line and tone drawings of pieces of landforms, ready to beincorporated into a procedural environent kit; all variations on layered desert rock structures; several are fully cleaned up, the rest are a little sketchier.

Created for Chaosium. A black and white inked and toned lineup of five Gloranthan adventurers, wearing bronze age outfits and armor inspired by etruscan, scythian and sumerian clothing and technology. There are three men, alla bout the same height, with beards and long hair, and two women, one shorter in scaled maille with a braid, and one taller, in religious dress, with full etruscan hairstyle including crimped curls and a headband. All have tattoos showing gloranthan runes.

Created for Hit Point Press. A digital painting of a strange goat-like creature with needles for feet and a visibly bad attitude, leaping towards the viewer, in a landscape of strange precarious stacks of stone. Behind it, a dusk sky with a bright moon, giving it a dramatic rim light.

Hey #portfolioday! I'm a #KidLit book designer by day and an illustrator by rest-of-the-day savoring any chance they can get to make personal art :') Love drawing lots of details, academic art, and costumed ladies ✨

A super detailed digital illustration showing an interior courtyard scene based off of the architecture of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s courtyard arches and ornament, broken up into different sections arranged in non-linear and isometric perspective (sort of in the tradition of Persian and SE Asian miniature painting). Various femme human figures of different sizes and colors (natural white and brown skin tones but also colored blue and red) are scattered around this space- they are all based off of women from different paintings within the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and Gardner Museum (including John Singer Sargent’s El Jaleo, who here is dressed in a way that references the character design of Jolyne Cujoh). In the bottom left, electric blue tigers race under arches in a starry-void space. At the top right, a mysterious woman stands under a painting with aa living parrot, and next to an another parrot on a chair. She is standing upon a coil of thread that weaves throughout the painting, and terminates in a box at bottom left which is guarded by a fancily dressed woman in parrot couture costume, in a miniature “room” with different paintings of other woman, and a mirror that reflects a color field of pink, blue and white. A pink nude woman is seated above on a fabric drape that flows down from a red woman above her who is holding a flower looking out from an ornamented arch. At center is a large blue woman who is smelling a stand of roses, while below her is a smaller ballerina doing up her flats on marble stairs.

An outdoor nighttime scene set in a back alleyway mixed-with-a traditional Chinese garden pavilion where multiple characters from the Final Fantasy video game series are gathered around in a little garden courtyard surrounded by houses and walls. In the grass yard sits an ornate, classical American style table holding a blue-gold tea pot and cup set, along with chairs, and a small, green-marble topped side table that’s holding two vases with flowers and a blue-gold pitcher. Behind the furniture and courtyard rise tall, white birch trees. In the background close by is the tall side of a house with an open lit window and hanging laundry on the roof top above. Set into the house wall is an open window through which a cute FF9-style Moogle peeps through. In the further left background is a classic-Chinese style covered pavilion, with curved titles and green-red lacquer sides. Standing by, and sitting at (or on) the table, in the left foreground are Beatrix, Freya and Eiko (who is trying to read a book) (FF9), along with Terra (FF6), Fang (FF13), Rydia (FF4) and Fran (FF12), the three of whom are sat close together, shoulders touching in deep gossip/discussion. To the left, by the courtyard wall and entrance is Garnet/Dagger (FF9) who is sitting by herself on an ornate bench seat cradling a cat in one arm while Yuna (FF10) is stepping through the courtyard entrance, right arm outstretched and mid-saying something. Another orange cat is strolling across the grass in-between both groups. The scene implies that there is both lively discussion and leisurely resting amongst all the different parties, with the fun for the viewer getting to see all these different game characters together in one scene. The art style is based on clean, thin line art with solid, bright colors composed in a muted, yellow tinge since it is nighttime. Above the characters heads are little dark boxes with colorful gold-green borders with colorful bars displayed within, like video game status bars.

Photo of an imaginary book cover for a novel titled “Big Fig Wasp.” The cover art depicts a "main character,” which is a self-portrait of myself femme presenting, and dolled up with ribbons and jewelry and sitting on an iridescent pedestal while a mysterious, color-chromatic webbed-hole emerges from my torso as my gloved hand pulls it open. A shadow figure wrapped by a glowing dragon-creature is coming into being in an ornate mirror behind me in the top right corner. At the bottom-left foot of the pedestal if a black-panther dressed in an ornamental harness. Flower decorations and ornament patterns accent the bottom and other corners of the cover. The type is painted in iridescent colors and come in and out of focus.
