Im def gonna give hell maiden a try, and omg don't stop girlypop looks *incredible* very excited to try that out!!

I am begging for valve to add a 'no ai' filter. Im not sure if that will fix anything (slop devs will just not disclose that they used ai) but it would at least help a bit.

Hell Maiden looks great!!! I'll have to check it out!

I've also heard really good things about Blanksword, one of the devs is local to me which is super cool! You actually just reminded me to back it on kickstarter before that ends, so thank you

A pixelart of a humanoid creature in a snowy landscape, with the upper body of a stern falcon, wings spread out and three pairs of arms with raptorial talons, some crossed over its body and some gesturing around floating, glowing balls of energy. There is a black band of short feathers around its waist, and below are its relatively unelegant human legs with a texture of rough clay

Commissioned by @ hiveshin (tumblr) Side-view of a shadowy figure with lanky limbs and black tangled hair, looking at the viewer with an ambiguous side-eye and crawling forward (viewer's left) while a chaotic stream of bloody hands erupts from the area of its mouth (and possibly throat) and reaches out, splitting in uneven fractals into more and more fingers and hands, some of which lean on the ground A figure, back to the viewer, standing in the moonlit field of grass with arms outstreched and their shining skin almost merging with the moon in the center of the picture. Below the waist the skin of the figure unravels into (or is not yet sewn from) blades of grass wrapping around the bones Pixelart of the giant Mongolian Death Worm from Dandadan - an enormous earthworm "staring" at the viewer from among the ruins with its eye-like maw of human teeth, surrounded by a circle of tentacle/rays/eyelashes, radiating an aura/korona/iris of dazzling, nauseating yellow light

Thinking fondly of all the pre-election fact-checks that said we couldn’t possibly know whether Republicans wanted to get rid of pre-existing condition protections.
• New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said that Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, "want to ... repeal the Affordable Care Act and elim nate protections for preexisting conditions." It's unclear what Trump would do, since he hasn't released a plan to replace the ACA. He said he would do so, if "we can come up With something that's better." Schumer, meanwhile, was wrong to
say, as he did on the Senate floor April 28, that the bill goes "back to the day when insurance companies could deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions." perorats and Republicans have made
competing claims on whether the latest version of the GOP health care bill maintains protections for people with preexisting medical conditions. President Trump has said, "Pre-existing conditions are in the bill. And I mandate it." Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer has said that
"insurance companies could deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions."
Neither of those comments quite gets it right. The latest version offers lesser protections than the Affordable Care Act, but it doesn't allow insurers to deny coverage to someone with a health Who's right? Like everything else in health care, it's complicated.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

That's fair! The handlight in this area does help sell it a bit, for sure!
