This is Theo the Worst Spartan. I made a few years back and propped him in front of Poseidon's Fury prior to closing. I miss that ride.

Here is a set of bigger sized resin Hoplites I dub, "Hoplings". A 3 year long project I hope to return to soon. I miss my "Greek myth flow", it was when I was happier. Now I will make smaller ones.

So I occasionally make these lil'guys. They're like tiny, blanketed hoplites. They're mostly inspired but older depictions of hoplites wearing a cloaks

I'm thinking of making them into little "art drops" in the near future.

I genuinely despise that show. It's the debate equivalent of leaving a seal pup in the middle of a room with like 20 grown men with clubs. It's not intellectual, it's not engaging, it's not even a measurement of the ability to debate with multiple people. It's just a sideshow massacre.

So huge question. Do you all want me to slow drip my art from my other medias or just start posting my new stuff? It's a bit of work to do but I just want some input.

Bishop Mariann's reminded me of what it truly means to be Christian / Catholic. It is to believe in the good and well-being of the people and provide love and protection from them through the grace of God. If I weren't pagan, I would convert right back on her words alone. Bless her bravery 🙏

Literally been here since Zeus first split humans into bipeds, or Prometheus fashioned us from clay:

DIONYSUS IN THE FABLES OF AESOP
Aesop, Fables 517 (from Phaedrus 4. 16) (trans. Gibbs) (Greek fable C6th B.C.) :
"Someone asked Aesop why lesbians and effeminates [or gay men] had been created, and old Aesop explained, ‘The answer lies once again with Prometheus, the original creator of our common clay. All day long, Prometheus had been separately shaping those natural members which modesty conceals beneath our clothes, and when he was about to apply these private parts to the appropriate bodies Liber [Dionysos] unexpectedly invited him to dinner. Prometheus came home late, unsteady on his feet and with a good deal of heavenly nectar flowing through his veins. With his wits half asleep in a drunken haze he stuck the female genitalia on male bodies and male members on the ladies. This is why modern lust revels in perverted pleasures.’"

I figured as much. I don't even know if I would want to keep it after it comes back. I say we delete our accounts in protest.

Every other bytedance app as well actually, I just got a message from lemon8 with the same exact shutdown message. I just hope that whatever this is, isn't some way for 🍊 to retaliate against his critics. Because after 3 weeks, this would be a convenient way to gather data.

Something is genuinely wrong here, it's 10:47 where I am, they must have decided to shut down before the 19th in the East Coast.

Ladies and gentlemen, as of 10:43 p.m. East Central time, tiktok is officially dead.

However I'm having a feeling we should have deleted our accounts beforehand. Something's not right about this.

I was having a feeling that maybe I should have deleted or deactivated my account but unfortunately it's too late. I reuploaded the app just in case and this is what I got
It looks like the wiping everything clean.
