First art of the new solar year: My monk/waterbender Callindra. Haven't drawn her in a while.

Also my first right-handed drawing in almost 11 weeks. I think the tendonitis is healing! But OMG is that a slow process.
Callindra is a monk waterbender with a quarterstaff directing a swirl of water around her body. She's wearing her usual vestments: An orange sleeveless top, loose red trousers, leather boots with a yellow scarf tied around the right ankle, and a yellow sash (somewhat obscured by the water). She's got white hair, brown skin, and an expressionless face because she's really bad at emoting.

2 NEW epic images of Phobos over Mars just released by @esa.int Mars Express

This view is especially striking, with Phobos between the Tharsis volcanoes and Noctis Labyrinthus–Valles Marineris

Full resolution 300MP(!) & info on: flic.kr/p/2rMW4so

A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet’s night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars’s surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars’s satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

New cover for an upcoming fic, v happy with this one
#rottmnt
A digital drawing of Donatello from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and an anthropomorphic wasp named Holly Blue. Donatello is in front, hanging from the ropes in the corner of a wrestling ring. He's wearing a hooded jacket and a pair of cargo pants, the hood up over his head shadowing his face. His entire body is colored with a dull purple. In front of his chest is a screen showing a simplistic x-ray of his rib cage. Colors bleed out of it, orange red and blue, pouring over the bones and even traveling out of the screen. Holly Blue stands behind him, her head vanishing into the top of the image. Two hands hold the screen in front of Donatello while the others are folded behind him. There is text at the very top and the bottom that reads, "Bone Deep Color Stains, Monochromatic."

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it

KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.

They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills

This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward

It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

#savespeech #stopKOSA

ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup.

This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House.

Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

Comic that gave me much suffering for reasons I don't understand
#rottmnt #rottmntoc
The first two panels of a digitally drawn comic featuring Donatello and Leonardo from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles and a mutant wasp OC. In the first panel, Donatello and the wasp, Holly, sit at a table. Leo approaches and says, "Hey Holly! Want to see me down this caprisun in one suck?" Donatello says, "Nardo. We're busy. Don't come over here and-" In the next panel Leo starts slurping down the pack with a large SFX in the bg. The next two panels. In the first, Donatello and Holly stare at Leo in silence who is standing there proudly. In the next panel Holly asks, "Do you have any more of these?" Leo has a huge smile on his face while Donnie just says, "No." The final panel where Holly and Leo both suck down some juice packs. Donnie stands far in the bg screaming, "Noooo!"
