Sometimes you just need a hug.
Sometimes, a surrogate will just have to do.

And yes, Blake paid Shen a gold to make that plushie for him.

Against a vague feathery backdrop, we see Blake Tetra hugging a caterpillar plushie whilst lounging on his brown leather couch.

Blake has his red hair down, is wearing a black long-sleeved pajama set, and his tail is wrapped around the plushie as he hugs and pets it. He has a forlorn look in his eye as his mind wanders to who he would rather embrace.

Being in College for Education right now is Horrifying

Another AI / ChatGPT Post 🤖
I am a student observer (I student teach next fall) for high school history ed. Right now in college, we have a full class dedicated to using technology in the classroom. However the entire semester was almost fully dedicated to using ai in the classroom. Using ai to make lessons, being told it’s ok to write research papers with them, being told ChatGPT IS a valid source TO CITE, being told to create our college lesson plans using ai, basically being told to use ai for everything. On top of this, our professor has told us she uses ai all the time, including for writing research papers and making our assignments. Every time we pointed out the mistakes ai makes, she would tell us how ai isn’t perfect so just double check it. Oh yea, our professor? She’s our DEAN OF EDUCATION AT OUR COLLEGE. It’s just so infuriating to see.

For those asking, SIUC, Southern Illinois University Carbondale

i love dressing him up 🥰🌸💖

an illustration of Honey's elf sona, he is resting his leg on a table and partially sitting whilst using a hand for support. he's holding a glass of a galaxy coloured drink with his other hand and is wearing and black and blue dress with stars and constellations on it,
he is seemingly checking up on the person and maybe asking if they want another drink?
on the table is a candle and a bottle of wine that reads "constellation's kiss" on the label with the constellation Cygnus (the swan) at the top.
behind him are stars and 4 constellations, those being from left to right, Phoenix, Aquila, Aries and Pavo

a chibi illustration of Honey's elf sona. he is holding a pink and white umbrella that has heart designs and big bow on it, he is also floating with it. he is looking at the viewer with a big smile and is using his constellation magic to make a heart shaped constellation

an illustration of Honey's elfsona, Lucian. he's sitting on a tree stump in the woods that has some mushrooms growing from it. he's holding up a hand to an autumn coloured leaf that's falling in front of him and has a big smile. behind him is some blurred trees with autumn coloured leaves and a glowing heart made of magic. maybe autumn magic?
he's wearing a cozy outfit, including a pink turtle neck sweater that has a heart shaped boob window and two small bows on each sleeve, dark blue shorts that have some constellation embroidery, the constellations are ones that show best during autumn months, those being, Pegasus, Aquarius, Cassiopeia, and Andromeda, and some thermal stockings with a heart pattern on them

an illustration of Honey's elf sona. he's wearing a pink and white strawberry themed outfit with some subtle cosmic designs. there are three big strawberries around him and one has some whipped cream on it

TRUMP: If you’re trafficking drugs to the U.S. via the Caribbean I will kill you.

ALSO TRUMP: If you’re doing time because you helped traffic 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S. via Honduras you get a “Full and Complete Pardon.”

If Tito Astura wins for President of Honduras, because the United States has so much confidence in him, his Policies, and what he will do for the Great People of Honduras, we will be very supportive. If he doesn't win, the United States will not be throwing good money after bad, because a wrong Leader can only bring catastrophic results to a country, no matter which country it is. Tito will be a Great President, and the United States will work closely with him in order to ensure the success, with all of its potential, of Honduras! Additionaly, I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.
This cannot be allowed to happen, especially now, after Tito Asfura wins the Election, when Honduras will be on its way to Great Political and Financial Success. VOTE FOR TITO ASFURA FOR PRESIDENT, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO JUAN ORLANDO HERNANDEZ ON YOUR UPCOMING PARDON. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE HONDURAS GREAT AGAIN!

PRESS RELEASE
Juan Orlando Hernández, Former President of Honduras, Convicted in Manhattan Federal Court of Conspiring to Import Cocaine into the United States and Related Firearms Offenses
Friday, March 8, 2024
For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs
Hernández Conspired with Some of the Largest Drug Traffickers in the World to Transport Tons of Cocaine through Honduras to the United States

According to court documents, from at least in or about 2004, up to and including in or about 2022, Hernández, the former two-term president of Honduras and former president of the Honduran National Congress, was at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world. Hernández abused his position and authority in Honduras to facilitate the importation of tons of cocaine into the United States. In exchange, Hernández received millions of dollars in drug money from some of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking organizations in Honduras, Mexico, and elsewhere, and used those bribes to fuel his rise in Honduran politics.
Throughout his time in office, Hernández publicly promoted legislation and the efforts he purported to undertake in support of anti-narcotics measures in Honduras. At the same time, he protected and enriched the drug traffickers in his inner circle and those who provided him with cocaine-fueled bribes that allowed him to obtain and stay in power in Honduras. For example, Hernández selectively upheld extraditions by using his executive power to support extraditions to the United States of certain drug traffickers who threatened his grip on power, and promising drug traffickers who paid him and followed his instructions that they would remain in Honduras. In addition, Hernández and his co-conspirators abused Honduran institutions, including the Honduran National Police and Honduran Army, to protect and grow their conspiracy. Among other things, members of the conspiracy used heavily armed Honduran National Police officers to protect their cocaine loads as they transited through Honduras. Members of the conspiracy also turned to violence and murder to protect and grow their drug trafficking enterprise, attacking and murdering rival traffickers and those who threatened their grip on the Honduran cocaine trade.

In total, Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked over more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras during Hernández's tenure in the Honduran government.

Hernández was convicted of three counts:
(i) conspiring to import cocaine into the United States, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison; (ii) using and carrying machineguns and destructive devices during, and possessing machineguns in furtherance of, the cocaine-importation conspiracy, which carries a mandatory consecutive prison term of 30 years; and (iii) conspiring to use and carry machineguns and destructive devices during, and possessing machineguns in furtherance of, the cocaine-importation conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

A trillion-dollar company going super-cheap on producing a mechanical-sounding dub with no human touch, aura, or spark involved.

It's insulting, anti-consumer, anti-creative, shameful, and just damn embarrassing.

Also... I can't trust anything that pronounces "finger" as "fin-jer."

2:12 in, BTW.

Fuck right off. I know multiple companies who would have KILLED to make a dub for it; myself included FOR FREE.

Hannelore has pink, teal and orange thread wrapped around her hand while a golden one passes her by. Rozemyne has a thread that starts light blue but ends much darker and she is holding the spot where it changes.

In the wake of Dreamwave Founder Pat Lee (who left numerous freelancers unpaid while holding the Transformers license and passed other artists' work off as his own) re-emerging, and being welcomed back into the fold by Hasbro to "provide" package art, it's great to see inspiration hasn't left him.
