Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

actually most countries will refuse you if you have any chronic illness and are not independently wealthy
fun fact: many countries (including some in Europe) will refuse you if you are HIV+
i hate being american. show me a single country who wouldn't refuse me for being disabled and i'll move there tomorrow!

A few simple steps would make everyone healthier:
Clean air in public spaces.
Paid time off.
Free respirators for anyone who needs them.
Mandatory masking in healthcare.
Our rush back to “normal” has ensured a never ending cycle of sickness, death & disability.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

In the years since Baldur's Gate 3's release, Larian has put a lot of time and energy into updating the game with tons of new content. But one character is still coming up short for fans: Wyll. And at least one writer at Larian is just as frustrated by it as you.

Terrible photo (bleh), but: how have I come so far without Potter's Pink in my life? A gorgeous, earthy, dusty pink which in various mixtures becomes the pinks that appear in birds like the European goldfinch, jay, hoopoe, azure-winged magpie, various pigeons & doves, & so on.

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"
There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

have had requests from some good folks to hear what a finished stoneware bell sounds like, so decided i would deliver on that. naturally, the tone depends on size and shape of a bell, the clay its made from, and how hot the kiln got. #pottery #bell #chime #woodfired #handmade

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
