Gerd, the stunningly beautiful daughter of the Jötunn Gymir and Aurboda, captivated Freyr the moment he saw her from Odin’s high seat, Hlidskjalf. She became his wife, joining the gods and embodying love and fertility.

The Norns are the embodiment of fate in Norse mythology, shaping the destinies of both gods and mortals. Their influence is inescapable, as they are present at every birth, setting each individual’s fate. (Text by Delia Gosforth, art by Ellen Artistic)

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I'm so tired of being my own hype person, I'm tired of having to do it on sites where the owners hate their userbase. Or sites built to stoke rage to keep interactions up. I'm just so tired. I just wanna make comics that ppl enjoy & not worry every day about making an income & bills. Please.

Vietnamese Mermaid. I really wanted to draw an Ao Dai. However there is a Vietnamese mermaid-like myth, they have wings and are really cool. Let me know if you want to see me try to draw that with Le-Nguyen dynasty inspiration!
