Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.

A light skinned hand holds a small miniature painting in front of a lot of art supplies The painting is about four inches square and shows a young red fox kit peeking out of its den. The den is under a swath of moss, and the whole scene is surrounded by melting snow. A miniature painting on wood.

The evening's entertainment included earnestly explaining to the dog that, despite her big beautiful eyes & vacant expression, she does not, alas, qualify as an Amine Girl.
This by virtue of her shih tzu & pomeranian ancestry, which gave her itty bitty legs & a mouth the size of a hotel waffle iron.

Not very refined but I enjoyed the vibes

Playing a homebrew D&D game, and I've been illustrating some of the loot and artifacts. I'm not a very skilled digital artist, so this is a good excuse to practice! This cube is based on 19th cent. reliquary jewelry boxes.

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!

Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

I'm finally getting into the habit of streaming an active soundtrack during the discord TTRPG i run -- switching nature ambience throughout the session and then also playing spooky ambient music.

It's probably nice for the players but it really helps ME get into the role

Besieged! Postcard from my collection, unsent, photo copyright 1902.
Black and white photo of two longhaired cats snuggled in a basket lying on its side on a carpet. They are looking brightly up and to the right as if someone is waving a toy or something. Text as the bottom says “besieged”.

How Do They Rise Up
It's not the Glorious 25th of May, but my lilacs are blooming. And sometimes you have to wear the lilac. Because of reasons. #TerryPratchett #Discworld #Nightwatch #Lilac #ArtYear #PolymerClay #GNUSTP #Handmade #Resist #Vimes
A lilac brooch made from polymer clay. The flower and leaves are the only color in an otherwise black and white image. The background is a black shirt with lace The brooch is being stabilized by a thumb and forefinger.

Easy mistake to make, tbh. Honestly probably just a typo. So easy to misspell "autism" as "fishheads"
Could happen to anyone.
Sadly, only medical professional involved in this study was #DrDemento

RFK Jr. #autism #rant was just a big mixup-
He was extrapolating from a study by Barnes & Barnes, which concluded:

*They can't play baseball
*They don't wear sweaters
*They're not good dancers
*They don't play drums

Unfortunately, the original subjects were *not* Autistic, so his data was skewed
A really rather horrible picture of a fish head wearing lipstick, false eyelashes and a party hat. A Screenshot from the original video for "Fish Heads" a song from 1980 by Barnes & Barnes, made popular in the Dr. Demento show. The lyrics are as follows: Fish heads, fish heads Roly-poly fish heads Fish heads, fish heads Eat them up, yum Fish heads, fish heads Roly-poly fish heads Fish heads, fish heads Eat them up, yum In the morning, laughing, happy fish heads In the evening, floating in the soup Ask a fish head anything you want to They won't answer, they can't talk I took a fish head out to see a movie Didn't have to pay to get it in They can't play baseball, they don't wear sweaters They're not good dancers, they don't play drums Roly-poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino In Italian restaurants with Oriental women Yeah Ask a fish head anything you want to They won't answer, they can't talk Ask a fish head anything you want to They won't answer, they can't talk

Not in particular? I just was very curious! I love this piece. It looks incredibly tactile, and the leafing creates a lot of depth!

Work in progress for "The Art of the Miniature XXXiii"
I might title it "Below the Light" original photo from Horton Point, NY
#miniature #seascape #landscape #artyear #WIP #Beach #LongIsland #ArtistsofBluesky #painting #acrylic #vacation #mini #sea #tinyart #dollhouse #seagull
A tiny painting is held between thumb and middle finger of a light skinned hand. The painting showed a beach scene or seascape with a large rock in the foreground and a barely visible tiny seagull. The image is about 3 inches wide by 1½ inches tall (the whole piece of paper is about 4 inches by 2 inches) The original photo is of the beach below the Horton Point Lighthouse

has been selected for the Jim Thorpe Film Festival
I'm excited to share with a public audience
It's only 6 minutes - I'll attach the link below! #shortfilm #Stopmotion #Filmfestival #ArtYear #Film #animation
A barely lit scene of a room. The viewer is facing the back of a couch, lit with a blue glow. There's a television screen on the wall. A Laurel, or sectoral logo is overlaid onto static, which reads "Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival Official Selection 2025" Sharp eyes might notice that the tv is unplugged.

This 33mm² miniature painting of the "Punk in Drublic" album cover. Part of a series I did of 30 mini covers and counting!
#NOFX #Hardcore #Punkrock
The thumb and index finger of a light skinned hand holding a miniature acrylic painting is the NOFX Punk in Drublic album cover. Surrounding the cover image is blue painters tape which had many dabs or black, white, and vermilion paint on it.

Thanks for the perspective. It's easy to forget that Small business" doesn't mean what it sounds like.
