Finally uploaded a bunch of the art I've done to my cloud storage instead of just on my phone, so I'm gonna share the four good ones of Grimmshadow because I am still obsessed with my own OC to the point of planning like a 12 book series with him.

I am unhinged.

A character sheet of Grimmshadow, the Night Court Puck, without his cloak. He's got buff color fur, orange hair, and blue pants and arm braces. He can make spears and knives of bone, which he weilds in the posing section. His large, yellow eyes and sharp teeth can look unsettling at times.

Wolf the werewolf has ambushed Grimm in his own room! Grimm is in his underwear and only partly transformed, pinned to the door by Wolf. Wolf is giving Grimm an alluring grin, but Grimm cannot pay too much attention, as someone is pushing into the door to get into his room. Grimm seems worried about this other person seeing them both.

A dark and shadowy scene of a building with stars in t sky. A dark figure sits atop a street lamp, with his dark shadow keeping the lights from that and one of the windows from spilling out. The stark yellow eyes of the figure are reflected in the stars, windows, and dark spaces of the scene. In the forground there is a Werewolf looking figure in a leather vest with his back to the viewer looks at the shadowy figure

A character sheet of Grimmshadow, the Night Court Puck, with his purple cloak. While it's hard to see beneath that, he's got buff color fur, orange hair, and blue pants and arm braces. He can make spears and knives of bone, which he weilds in the posing section. His large, yellow eyes and sharp teeth can look unsettling at times. His eyes and teeth are bright in the shadow of his hood.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:

This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules

After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 15h

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

Slut shaming has been completely corrupted from a way of describing how women were punished for being sexual

To become a way for women whose odious and terrible abusive tendencies and fascist behavior includes sleeping with assholes and abusing other women

To avoid consequences permanently

Talking about personal responsibility like some reaganite cop

clara from miranda @tropicalbeauty.blacksky.app · 8h

Its rly wild how some people dont understand that when youre marginalized you dont have full access to society, that is literally what it means, you are forced into the margins and you can't easily access things other people can

What the fuck is wrong with you

In light of the fact that students protested the university's participation in genocide, Cole argues that the university should reinstate disciplined students, ask NYC to drop criminal charges, and reopen campus gates to the public. All very reasonable points.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 19h

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: ICE raids Walgreens in Chicago—agent tackles Black man to the ground, arrests him for “running.”

Customers told operations paused “because of ICE.”
