We've been treading water the last two years, with my hours only part time from surgery, disabilities, and immune flares.

We could catch up if I was bringing in art #commissions, and I'm adding a BUNCH of #Halloween specials this weekend. But my ko-fi doesn't get views. 700 in five YEARS. Help 🔁?

The Trump regime has run out of excuses for the government shutdown, so they’re now blaming the vast majority of Americans who simply wish to preserve democracy.

See you on Saturday at a NoKings.org protest—the tides are turning.

GOP's latest government shutdown scapegoat: No Kings protests

Republicans try to shift blame from themselves to protesters.

We've got a question for you webcomickers:

What's one thing that someone has said about your work that has never left you?

So uh

Has anyone ever used a Federation transporter to fix sinusitis? Or is there just a hypospray for that, and it hasn't occurred to anyone to try targeted transporting as a last-ditch relief effort.

I would like less headache and earache, please. My lymphs are screaming 😱

Sounds like the wren saw the garden and approves of all the nooks and crannies. I'd sure like it if I were a bird. Maybe it'll build a lil bower path from the gravel!

I stood with my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues to honor the victims &survivors of Domestic Violence.

Domestic violence is a serious problem in our society and shouldn't be minimized or ignored by the rich & powerful. We must protect the essential programs & resources that empower survivors.

Please don't mind the fuzzy cryptids haunting the Atlanta metro. :3

Who all is going next year? I've stayed in my cave outside town for the last... oh geez. Two or three or. Ten. What even is time.

There's a chance I might make it for 2026!

What kind of year number is that

Is time the cryptid?

These fossils/unfossils are *weird* in the best way possible. Theres still lots we don’t know about life on our planet... maybe this is one of those chapters.

Asher Hellbein @asherelbein.bsky.social · 1d

In 2010, a scientist argued that 2.1 billion-year-old African specimens showed complex life appearing 500 million years ahead of schedule. His critics say they are — literally — fool's gold. At stake? The question of when and how complex life arose at all.

My cover story (!) for @sciam.bsky.social!

These Enigmatic ‘Fossils’ Could Rewrite the History of Life on Earth

Controversial evidence hints that complex life might have emerged hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought—and possibly more than once

Have you seen what a phone camera does to nearby subjects? This is so much more accurate than my 26 lb dog ending up the same size as the 75 lb one XD

Ooo, I want one. That's about as big as I figured.

Pin and thread rings a bell. I think we touched on that in an art class at one point...

It really would be quite fun to be set loose to doodle on a floor with this stuff.

EnberLight @enberlight.bsky.social · 4h

That looks really cool and also. Wait. Did that just say there's a delay in planned courtship procedures because they have to go on an ecoterrorism sidequest first?

I didn't know that could be a foreplay category

What a premise!

...where do we order?

Well would you look at that 🐙

Disposable magic by dani finn paperback with not for resale band around it, showing a large octopus staring at a tiny one in an underwater bubble as black ooze drips down from above.

Back cover showing watercolor underwater background and a blurb: Life on the reef was perfect.
Food and dwemer were plentiful. The dangers were few and well-known. Sef and Kin had bonded. Communion was only a few moons away.
The humans destroyed their dreams in a day.
They capped the vent and stole the dwemer, leaving Sef and Kin to fight for scraps on a dying reef. The search for a new source takes this tentacled pair deep into the human city, where they find the key to hope and revenge.
When they finally find communion, they will join,
<blocked by the not for resale band>
They just need to do an eco-terrorism tirst.
This standalone short romance involves action, peril, trans themes, and tentacle play.
It is intended for adult audiences.

Ok now I'm wanting job postings from museums "come make things with tool reproductions - paid position"

Could you imagine. Bopping from museum to museum to play with craft tools as research

...is that a job? That should be a job. Can I have it XD

EnberLight @enberlight.bsky.social · 4h

I work in manufacturing with an older Gen X guy who basically designed all the formulas, procedures, and influenced the machines and parts we use.

Buncha guys like him loose with period tools should make for some progress :3

History types tend to forget to ask living tradespeople for assists...

EnberLight @enberlight.bsky.social · 4h

Ooo, how giant are we talking with the compasses?

I'd propose making reproductions of all known tools, and letting traditionally trained architects loose in a room with a plaster floor, instructed to "draw this, but bigger, to scale." And to come up with whatever tools are missing to complete that.

UK ministers met fossil fuel lobbyists 500 times in first year of power, analysis shows

Lobbyists attended 48% more meetings than Tories, as Labour accused of giving them ‘backstage pass’ * UK politics live – latest updates Government ministers met representatives from the fossil fuel industry more than 500 times during their first year in power – equivalent to twice every working day, according to new research. The analysis found that fossil fuel lobbyists were present at 48% more ministerial meetings during Labour’s first year in power than under the Conservatives in 2023. Ministers at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) met fossil fuel lobbyists 274 times, with industry figures present at almost a quarter of meetings. Ed Miliband, the secretary for energy and climate change, met fossil fuel lobbyists 250 times – with a third of all his meetings attended by industry figures. During the same period DESNZ ministers met trade union representatives 61 times Three fossil fuel companies: BP, Shell and Equinor , met ministers 100 times between them. Fossil fuel lobbyists attended almost every government meeting about the energy profits levy, a temporary windfall tax on the “extraordinary profits” of North Sea oil and gas companies.

Another lovey review for Old Skies- I always like when other Brits enjoy the tone we were going for!

"It's cozy like a cup of tea that occasionally questions the nature of fate."
