this man was fucking hogtied and murdered and they're saying it's somehow "suicide"

*and* apparently claiming that "others" have done the same "suicide method".

The Confederacy didnt fight to keep slavery

They fought to keep slavery AND to build a white ethnostate. The Confederacy was an extremely racist fucking place, it was built and founded upon racism. There is nothing good about it being your fucking heritage(And it also only lasted 4 years)

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against Alzheimer’s disease!

Depends heavily on the polity but there's a general inclination towards recompense towards the wronged party.

Lots of indentured servitude, with or without tracking collars.

The Federation used to decapitate murderers and store their heads in cryo just in case, then banished their associates.

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there;

How are criminals handled by the authorities in your setting?

Does it vary, is it a blanket punishment, is corruption (e.g, bribing a judge) a concern?

In the days that Lexi and Ul have been AWOL, muddling through with Amelia, what have KARD been up to, exactly, and how does it compare to the sleuthing of two scared herd animals?

Find out in Chapter 9 of The Continuum File archiveofourown.org/works/713513...
Splash image showing a file folder brimming with redacted paperwork in amidst a nest of red string. The main text reads: "The Archivist: Book 2 THE CONTINUUM FILE" There are scattered doodles and redacted notes on the front of the file, and an old stamped logo of a Helix nested inside a hexagon, with the word "RECORDS" across it.

When you heard your fav song on FM radio, you'd just record it on an old tape!

The years have consumed the tape, but no digital high quality file can beat the soothing feeling of the analogic, muffled sound of a walkman playing some old, forgotten tape!

I got @smekbo.bsky.social to make some more sketches for me to develop. This time of #LatchkeyKingdom 's Svana as a teen.

Svana is a witch girl with yellow black-splotched fur who wears an eyepatch. She's looking at the viewer with a manic smile as she balances her staff over her shoulder.

Aveniers #1 - Pg 6

But we venture forth to learn more.

#furry #art #comic #superhero #snapback #aveniers #wyldlight
Page 6 Panel 1: The four Aveniers in their spacesuits, looking up at the large hallway that they are in. Jann: This seems like a military installation, I’ve seen a number on Kelrenia but never in this good of condition. Mike: That is our current guess, Dr Del-lex’s mission was going to go up in few months to figure it out. The engineers just finished installing the docking and hab module and have only done some minor scouting. Jann: We’ll need to find the command centre, we should be able to figure out what this brutalist machine does there. Thankfully the Rymina seemed to have pretty consistent layouts of military facilities. Jet: They sure put brutal into brutalism. Panel 2: Mike, an anthropomorphic lizard, and Asha, an anthropomorphic Aussie-Shepard, looking at a computer console. Mike: Our linguist will be set up in a moment, she’ll be up there with you in 36 hours but you have her on the comms for now. Asha: Avenier One, this is the linguist, do you copy? Panel 3: A shot looking at the Aveniers from behind with a sentry like warrior statue stand at attention a good 30 meters back. Nadya: We copy Asha: I’m Asha Jemison, I’ll be your translator. Nadya: Lovely, we are heading to the command centre now. Panel 4: A shot from above showing the four Aveniers floating their way down the hall. Asha: Once you get to the command centre, hook me up and we can get to figuring this place out. Jann: Wait, you’re one of Dr Dawson’s colleagues, correct? Asha: “Colleagues”, yeah. Jann: Good to know we're in good company, we’ll need to do our best to not get caught in the weeds of this station’s history until you can get here. Diane: And be prepared for how settling this place is, it ain’t feel right.

Doing some math in an effort to get the art right...

ICBW, but... if Earth were the size of a basketball, the K-T impactor (the object that killed the dinosaurs) would be the size of a grain of sand.

That's assuming 50km as the diameter of the impactor (estimates range from 10km to 80km).
