Today we lost Steve the Hen, a hen so fierce and spiteful that she survived two racoon attacks and a falcon who was getting a little too fresh with her.

welp. pencil sketch is done, time to paint this, I guess 👀 🫣
A satyr embraces a young man from behind, gently peeling apart the man's flesh on his chest. Birds emerge from the opening in the man's chest. The man reaches one hand to back to caress the satyr's face, the other presses the satyr's hand to his chest. There's some circular celtic knotwork designs on the borders that further depict the two figures embracing, in case the sexual undertones were too subtle, haha

Sorta-six months later follow up and gang, and did you know that feeling hot while you workout directly contributes to your ability to feel hot thereafter? I'm so fucking mad. I'm so pissed.

if you hate unmediated AI use at your workplace without worker input, if your boss is speaking over you & for you, consider unionizing. shop and industry unions are bargaining and ratifying real, material AI protections RIGHT NOW.

#kingdomcome Here's my full piece for the Devil's Den zine! You can find the fic it goes with (along with some sillier drawings) here: tinyurl.com/wr5fpmjb
Digital illustration of a manuscript page featuring a central illustration of Kingdom Come Deliverance's Henry and Pious Pavel in monks robes leaning over a scribe's desk doodling on a manuscript page. There is an ornate plant themed illumination around the border; small figures of Lucas (sitting on a bench under a tree), Siskin (behind a pillar with a sack of money and a dagger), and Jodok (sneaking out a door with a jug of wine) are hiding in the plants.

I think I'm gonna have to turn this Frinos flash into a sticker
A drawing of Frinos from Hades 2 from a tattoo flash sheet. Frinos is a big fat frog with big rubbery red lips and bulging yellow eyes. He levitates in midair, limbs spread akimbo, summoning a mysterious magical glow around his lil froggy hands

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""
