No matter the season, or where you go, the skies are alight with November snow. No matter the mood, no matter the meaning, no matter the latent angers seething, no matter the past or the caste, no matter the yearning to last, no matter who's above and who's below all must someday face November snow.

Old art from 2021 - The Lernean Hydra

One of my favourite creature from the Greek mythology. And of course, I added the crab!
Done with an old kind of rendering, the one that bore me to death 😅
But I love this artwork... Did you recognize the famous sea cave I used as reference for the background?

Every wave is a moment in motion, every second of the sun's setting is another gone forever. Ever brief, yet ever glorious, even as the hues fade away, even as the light dims and diminishes, and our vision grows grayer and graver, even then there is awe, even then there is hope.

'Here were the dark old ways, here were the roots of all that slept while all else crept nearby in caution. The wolf sniffed and smelt the danger. It should not be here, it knew, but something was calling it from the darkness, something old and dead and altogether dreadful…'
An old wolf trots towards your campfire.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

'Life at this level, life at any stage in any age, is dark and brutal and bloody. Life is a struggle beyond a need, a driving force to survive and thrive, to strain and gain, to make it one moment more before there is no more, before the darkness of the void. Life is survival. Survival and cleanup.'

I tend to use them interchangeably, much like all single letter alternate spellings of words we otherwise share in full with our UK cousins. Usually it's a matter of how they look amid the other words around them as to which I use. This has led to the occasional reader confusing my place of origin.
I know "gray" is the correct American spelling, but I like the UK/Canada spelling of "grey" WAYYYYY better.

Get it together, America.

'All was dead. The world was torn asunder and riven with blood and ash. The gods had fought amongst themselves and destroyed all of life and creation in their struggles. None were spared, not even the gods themselves survived. But from the ashes of the dead hatched new life, if life it truly was…'

'Ever the intrepid adventurer, she explores the outer reaches of the known, questing for what none other has seen or touched. Always the thrill of the undiscovered, the heady rush of the first footfall in a new land. Yet there are places one should not go where none are welcome.'

'His friends had warned him of the woogie of the woods, had told him lurid tales of terror, teasing him for his fears of shadows and wild creatures. His friends had goaded him, dared him to enter the woods and find the woogie and he had, thinking it was all a lie. Too late he learned it was no lie.'

Without proof of another life, without the promise of paradise with no pain and no strife, we should strive while alive for a heaven here on earth, the one life we can prove, so the only life of worth.
God damn I love American Atheists
Building an inclusive, pluralistic community starts with (but doesn't end with) listening to the folks who haven't felt welcome in our spaces. People showing up for a game night or a protest shouldn't have to deal with Debate Me Bros rattling on about the singular they or arguing about sports.

Those that labor in the shadows, diligently maintaining a precarious order in the face of chaos and apathy, holding out to the bitter end, stoking flames of hope against the coming darkness, they were always there. We will never know all their names, but the future is bleaker without their efforts.
Trump is using this government shutdown as an excuse to continue firing workers from the Centers for Disease Control and other critical government agencies.

Let’s be clear: He doesn’t have to fire these people, but he’s doing it anyway — and it makes all of us less safe.

Especially in this age of tattoo removal and cover-ups, when your past regrets can be redacted. If you have changed from a piece-of-shit into a presentable person, you can take steps to scour your sins from your skin.
I feel like basic shit like "having a Nazi tattoo" should be on a list of things which ban you from employment in public office, government departments, or emergency services.

I was really excited to be able to release in pocket paperback side. It's my personal favorite. This copy was sent to me to sign, but it got to be a model while it was at it 😉

Check out @duncanwilson.bsky.social 's page! Theyre an incredible writer, and have a series of writing based off art from around the community, and I think this is such a cool and interesting idea! 🥰
'The evening sun always cast such an alluring hue upon the world. The hottest hours of the day were also the most colorful, when crimsons danced with deep oranges and vivid greens. Golden hour was more than just beautiful though, it was also when all sprites arose and played.'

Redraw finished!!
I redid both versions as well!
As much as I liked the dresses before I do like the fairies nekked, I think they look more natural that way. 😆
