STOP ⛔️ This is a WIP checkpoint
QRT with your current WIP

my next novel's manuscript is almost done :-)
i have grown completely infatuated with writing these characters, so here's a diversion they went on, in-between important places

We pass by a few hatches in the ground that have the Vasthi word for 'FLOODED' on them, and more than a few possible exits out of the spillway seem to have collapsed, or been sealed after-the-fact to keep out water. Doesn't rain here anymore but the sea is close enough to cause problems.
Eventually the way to proceed gets a little convoluted. The train tunnels take an unwelcome bend westward, so we try to cut through an exit that heads upward on a bit of scaffolding, but the heavy metal door is both locked and sealed behind with concrete. We backtrack to find another door of the same make with a sign in Vasthi, and Rhodes gets us in with a more complicated lockpicking attempt, something with two metal bits and a while of tinkering. Swears under her breath some, but we get through.
On the other end is a pretty striking place, odd and dark and not altogether easy to understand. "This was outside at one point, I bet," Rhodes says.
"Shit, maybe." The ceiling is held up only in part, and only in places—concrete bulging downward from the weight of a city atop it, with pillars from what was once an overhang above a train station holding it up. More like a cavern than a tunnel, and then hewn out in places manually by people trying to make more passageways. More signs than we've seen yet, none in Colonial Common. Modern electric lanterns held in by cheap wrought iron pitons, with long power cords going into the distance one way and another.
"Okay, getting somewhere," Rhodes says, now. She stands with her hands on her hips and leans forward to read the intricate details. Not quite a map but closer than we've had. "Corundum Town gets mentioned here. Plus some other shit. There's... ah, ah... a way down to Little Hegemony, but it's kilometers and kilometers off."
I shake my head. "Don't need that. Just need someone native to trade with."
"Yeah. Someone dug a tunnel to Varre Trading Post. Or, uh, I guess it's just Varre... Post. There's probably people there."
Makes me g…

#MinotaurHotel

P, an anthropomorphic peacock, from the visual novel Minotaur Hotel.

The space is made up mostly of blue hues, shrouded in darkness. He's facing away from the viewer, leaning over a desk, his hips cocked to the side and looking over his shoulder with a serious, analytical expression. The feathers of his tail resemble eyes, eternally watching.

The background is filled up with the outlines of human skeletons with tapir skulls.

Mass demonstrations should be distinguished from riots or revolutionary uprisings although, under certain (now rare) circumstances, they may develop into either of the latter. The aims of a riot are usually immediate (the immediacy matching the desperation they express): the seizing of food, the release of prisoners, the destruction of property. The aims of a revolutionary uprising are long-term and comprehensive: they culminate in the taking over of State power. The aims of a demonstration, however, are symbolic: it demonstrates a force that is scarcely used.

the ball joints are awesome! ooo i kinda shiver at the thought of smooth, but slightly textured, marbly skin... i think the appeal of these buggy bodies is this idea of articulated stiffness, a solid flexible material instead of a squishy one, but with squishy *bits*, and you totally got that -w-

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

God @thegodpodcast.com · 6d

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

The fourth panelist for our Artist Panel Discussion session, and perfectly rounding off our quartet of panelists, is outsidewolves (@outsidewolves.bsky.social)!

Graphic for Meet the Panelists - outsidewolves
Contains colour image of an adorable anthropomorphic wolf wearing a blue shirt against a sky background.
Text: "outsidewolves" is the nom de fur of Jesse England, an interdisciplinary artist from Portland, Oregon, USA. His artwork exists both in the field of contemporary media art and in the realm of furry comics and illustration. Both areas of expression seem to be slowly converging.

BLANK straddling Morceau's lap, his arms draped over Morceau's shoulders. Morceau is leaning back on one arm and resting the other hand on the back of BLANK's neck; their foreheads are nearly touching. With the height difference on display I feel obligated to say that BLANK is a short adult and Morceau is just tall as fuck.

Since this post is getting traction, what would I like to see?

- Ability to remove self from starter packs

- Toggle in the post composer that excludes a post or thread from all feeds (i.e., still public but only shows up in the "Following" feed)

These are both smaller lifts than private accounts.
