Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 18h

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

a 3d render of clefairy with a sleepy cap on. she is holding onto a fuzzy purple blanket while holding onto the phone with her other hand. she is in the bedroom, cozied up in her bed, with some pillows and books on the floor, and sparkling lights to make the night peaceful.

A render of Porygon2 in a swimming pool. It is floating alongside a Psyduck floatie that is carrying a can of lemonade, along with a tube float and a ball in the pool. In the background, a few strands of palm tree leaves are visible behind the pool scene.

What happens to a chao when it gets sent away? A 3d render based on the Chao from Sonic Adventures DX when you try to send your Chao away forever. This Chao has a tear in its eye and is holding a bindle to prepare for its new life.

3d render of azumarill in a space suit, floating. surrounded by stars and curious cleffa, azurill is waving to a cleffa floating near by it. they appear to be on a moon, crater-like surface.

A digital illustration showing a floating landmass, grassy with evergreen trees. It appears thin, maybe six feet deep, and underneath it can be seen a starry night sky. a race track passes through the sky and travels through the forest. the sky above is ocher, with puffy white clouds.

a collection of painted 'swords' organized into four rows, oriented with hilt in the bottom left, and tip on the top right, on a neutral, dark grey background. each sword is a strange and fantastical interpretation of a word written in grey text below them. some of the words included are: 'void' (sword resembles a black hole), 'storm' (sword resembles lightning emanating from a cloud), 'mountain' (sword resembles a mountain peak), 'spicy' (sword resembles a smoking chili), 'star' (sword resembles an image of the sun with a solar flare), 'Flowers' (sword resembles a thistle), 'fossil' (sword resembles a trilobite), 'forest' (sword resembles three trees in autumn), 'arachnid' (sword resembles a spiders web in a branch), 'molten' (sword resembles blown glass that has not yet cooled)

a digital painting of an anthropomorphic duck, sitting in a beach chair. the sun is blocked by a large blue umbrella that casts a blue tone on her, and she lounges in a bikini, looking off in the distance. the colors are mainly oranges and blues.

Painting. A wooden gate leading to a field, the gate has the words 'ONE WAY STREET' badly painted on it in white paint. The field has old bracken that is turning golden in the fading summer light, above the sky is cloudy and in the distance some signs of trees and a distant town.

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A digital portrait of an elven woman with golden blonde hair in sweeping chignon. She holds a hand to her chin, looking over her shoulder, eyes down cast. She wears shades of blue and gold.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe.

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

A giant-sized cowgirl reclines in the pasture with her livestock (primarily cows, with a few chickens sneaking in) as the sun rises off screen.

She has red hair in pigtail braids and wears a cowboy hat and boots along with a magenta and leather western bodice, and suede pants with runic inspired panel/stitch detailing.
The crescent moon and the tears of Selene are between a horizon of red rock hills and puffy pink clouds. A barn with thatched roof is nestled in the shadow beneath a crag at the right edge of the image.

A wandering adventurer, grasping a chipped knife, and their giant corgi wade through a lush, warm swamp. Behind them, a giant snake uncurls and stalks them. Will they survive?

An oil painting on linen. A man leans back looking off right. His eyes and forehead are cast in light. His young child leans, half asleep, against him.

A digital portrait of a woman with a mass of curled hair is spotlit by a harsh light from above. Tight brushes around the face, give way to loose and abstract brushstrokes around the perimeter of the subject.

A portrait of a man interrupted while playing guitar in a living room. He looks at the viewer. Day light from behind diffuses into the room while a lamp lights the figure from the left.

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures.

Two painted book cover illustrations side by side, both showing a pale blond man and a brown-haired woman. The one on the left shows the figures lying down on the dark ground as they gaze longingly at one another. The one on the right has the man holding the woman in a dramatic pose as she awakens to her vampiric powers. Illustrations commissioned by Cat Rector for her novels: Coal Gets In Your Veins and Learning to Bleed.

Illustrations of an orange and green spaceship flying past a group of migrating space jelly ghosts.

Illustration of a group of he-man/starwars hybrid characters having a post victory celebration where the fake Ewoks are clearly eating the dead enemy solders. That doesn't get in the way of some good drinking though.
