Ive got @junestrings.bsky.social strung up over my bed, and my room feels so much more comfortable

And my shears have their handles now fully wrapped as well.
Photograph of a wall and the ceiling of a bedroom, window on the left, and another wall on the right of the frame. A dozen command hooks have been adhered to the walls and ceiling, and a network of Redstrings have been hung from the hooks. A tapestry titled "Reincarnation" hangs from ceiling on the top right of the frame, and another tapestry hangs on the right of the frame, a thin strip of ceiling and wall sepatwteribg the two tapestries. A view of the Redstrings as viewed from underneath. One corner of the tapestry on the ceiling is visible. Looking upwards beneath the "Reincarnation" tapestry, Redstrings dangling from beneath it. The handles of my shears have been entirely wrapped in Redstrings.

Re: TIDAL AI uploads. Trying to do the right thing and reporting the error is impossible. There's a broken reCaptcha and an expired session notice.

We need the Butlerian.
Report incorrect credits page for Tidal. Attempting to report the entire massive list of AI garbage, and there's a broken reCaptcha and an expired session notice. Apparently the AI broke the reporting page, so it can run rampant. The submit button also doesn't work.

Oh okay now we are getting somewhere.

Scrolling down through Paul White (two spaces) credits, we also get hijacking of the Gyuto Monks of Tibet, who have one legitimate album with Deva Primal, and a bunch of AI garbage that's all been added in the last several weeks.

Gross disgusting AI slop.
Scrolling down through Paul White (two spaces) credits... And we get to the section where Tales of the Monk and the Gyuto Monks of Tibet are co-opted by the AI demon. The Gyuto Monks of Tibet's artist page. The top tracks show you actual mantra meditation music with Deva Primal, some pe my personal favorites, actually. But scroll down and the next image shows AI bullshit. One legitimate album, and a bunch of bullshit. It disgusts me that AI can hijack Tibetan monks artist page.

So there are multiple Paul Whites in the credits.

There's Paul White
And Paul White (two spaces)

The one with two spaces is obviously AI bullshit. A whole bunch of lofi beats and neo-muzak.
A list of the credits of Paul White (two spaces). There's the Gregorian chants by the Sisters of Mercy, and scrolling down in the next images... You've got the Lo-fi Beats neo-muzak grift on full display. Study Music, Study Music & Sounds join the Lo-Fi beats as you scroll down. The two spaces Paul White is a prolific purveyor of bullshit.

And this guy has no info at all. This has the stench of AI to me wtf?
Looking at Joshua Ryan Fredrickson on Tidal, there's literally no information, just the credit for Misericordia Caeli.

Oh wait the single is attributed to a different dude, also no bio, but also no photo. "Misericordia Caeli" has listed Composer and Lyricist of Joshua Ryan Fredrickson. What the fuck is going on?
Tidal Screenshot of the credits page for the single Misericordia Caeli by the Sisters of Mercy. Listed Composer and Lyricist of Joshua Ryan Fredrickson.

Just some guy apparently!? No bio. Never a member of the Sisters of Mercy.
Clicking on Paul White to look at his bio, there's nothing listed. Top tracks include "Returning" and "Where You Gonna Go?"

Who the fuck is Paul White, and who does he think he is. He's no Andrew Eldritch!
Credits listing for "Gregorian Chants for Inner Renewal and Sacred Calm". The first track, "Oratio Silens Sub Cruce" has listed Producer, Composer, Lyricist, and Keyboards of Paul White

There's an active hostile takeover of the Sisters of Mercy (Gothic rock band) by the Sisters of Mercy (religious organization).

There are new albums of Gregorian chants that are hitting streaming that are being categorized with the Sisters of Mercy.

All the credits are attributed to Paul White.
Screenshot of Tidal, looking at the "Albums" and "EP & Singles" lists for the Sisters of Mercy. The albums "Gregorian Chants for Harmony in Relationships" and "Gregorian Chants for Renewal and Sacred Calm" as well as the single "Miseriocoria Caeli" have been added to these lists, despite not being releases from the Sisters of Mercy. Album "Vision Thing" and single/EP "John Peel Session: 1984" should be the last releases in both of these categories.

It just went on the battle jacket
Picture of the back of a black denim battle jacket. Visible patches include a Sisters of Mercy First and Last and Always backpatch, a Depeche Mode patch with the letters DM separated by the red rose from the Violator album cover. A Joy Division patch with a zoom-in on the wavetable graphic, a small Nine Inch Nails patch, a small The Cure patch, a small The Mission patch, a patch that reads "Be the cryptid you wish to see in the woods" above a few pixelated trees, a patch of a compass with the N, S, E, and W as red letters in the otherwise white quote around the compass, "Not all those who wander are lost", a Some Girls Wander By Mistake patch opposite it, and the patch in question in the bottom right of the frame, of a black and white image of a burning building with a poem in white text on a black box atop the building. A closeup of the patch in question. The heat of the building seems to be warping the letters of the poem from the heat, the fire escaping the windows and the roof of the building, extending to the rough asymmetrical edge of the patch, evocative of a burnt remnant of something originally larger. The poem reads; "When everything has/ been taken from you/ your friends and family/ all dead and gone/ consider the warmth/ of a burning building"

Opposite side
Same pair of shears, rotated to the other side to show the inside of the other blade. Red and black zig-zagged teeth are on this side with acrylic paint markers, and a small red Junestring is tied around the handle. This side of the shears also reads the brand name "Quinn"

I've modified my shop shears to give them teeth.

They felt distinctly different as soon as I did so.

They feel heavier now, and they have a much more present non-physical aspect. They can cut all sorts of things they couldn't before!

I really like them this way~

It is complete.
A photograph of a handmade Tree of Life pendant. The round copper frame is around 2 and 3/4" in diameter, with a bale on top and on bottom. Thin copper wire has been twisted into a tree, and gemstone chips in seven different colors serve as the Tree of Life's leaves. From left to right, the gemstones are black tourmaline, goldstone, tiger's eye, jade, turquoise, labradorite, and howlite; corresponding to the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras, respectively. Each gemstone has 4 or 5 branches with at least three gemstones per branch.

Also I like middle evolutions a lot.

You know what pisses me off?

The British Suffragette flag, which is largely being used by TERFs, having basically the same colors as the genderqueer flag.

Shit irks me.
The genderqueer flag Lavender, white, and green horizontal stripes. The lavender is light and the green is close to a kelly green. The British Suffragette flag. Lavender, white, and green horizontal stripes. The purple is considerably darker, the green somewhat darker.

If I fits, I sits.
(Macro edition)

Art by @wolfkittybytes.bsky.social

Stay tuned for more in this series...
In a strip of rowhomes, there is a gap where one of the properties was sadly torn down. Seeing a comfy spot, the gargantuan lioness Macro Maven lays down for a nice nap, her gigantic head poking out from between the houses, blocking the sidewalk and an entire lane of traffic, her mane sprawling out all around her feral head.

Post a mage:

Cedar (they/them)
(aka thelarchmage)

Half-elf sylvan mage, narrative magick practitioner, reality jumper, worldbuilder, herbalist, and tarot divination specialist. Residing permanently in fiction, can inhabit any text. Enacts their magick through Text on other realities

Part of me
Cedar, a half-elf mage, stands in a forest scene wielding their gnarled staff with a green gemstone focus at its apex, the staff seemingly having grown around the stone. They wear a green woolen jerkin and leather belt, brown trousers, a pair of elkskin boots, and a purple hooded cloak with a silver clasp at the neck. They have a silver diadem at their crown with a tiny green gem in the center.

Sleep's Holy Mountain would be the soundtrack for this anime
The album cover for Sleep's "Holy Mountain" The center is an orb of blue energy and red discs that look like red blood cells with the band name "SLEEP" in all capital letters in 70's-style psychedelic lettering. Around the colorful orb are ornate black and white patterns featuring seven leaves emerging from the orb as if it were a flower, along with many other random things all mixed together into a chaotic yet fluid design. Some of these random things are a demon wielding a trident, a cross emitting brilliant light-beams and flames, an angel with a body made of fire, a cluster of mushrooms with highly patterned caps, the sun with a terrified expression, the planet Saturn, a heart weathed in thorns, a key with a skull on it bearing a question mark, a keyhole with spikey whirling patterns inside. In the bottom right corner hidden in the pattern is the signature "KLEM 92".

@wolfkittybytes.bsky.social did another furry porn sketch for me at Furrydelphia last weekend. I love everything about this, feels so empowering seeing myself like this~! Rawwwwrrr~!
A sketch of Maven the genderfuck lioness, wearing nothing other than a rope harness and a pair of panties, looking contemplatively through her spectacles. One paw is stroking the beard of her mane, the other behind her back, her tail curled behind her. She ponders how best to tackle the challenge before her, her face lightly flushed, and two bubble hearts float on her left.

Yeah that pretty much tracks
Screenshot from the Beastie Quiz. It reads: Your vibe is LOGICAL Your Beastie form is CALCROACH The blue Beastie with white square glasses stands in a circle of other Beasties, silohetted on a yellow background. She has a long blue carapace evocative of long hair, with thick antennae popping out the top. She is knock-kneed, with one cloven forelimb at her chin, and the other draped over her front, cloven hooves pointing inward. Her expression is one of joyous embarrassment.

"A Gathering at Four Trees"
A mandala of many colors, blending four-fold symmetry towards the corners and edges of the canvas with eight-fold symmetry towards the center. Four intricate, abstract branching structures extend outward from the center towards the corners, evocative of trees, sheltering those who may be gathering around the center on the four edges of the canvas.

My Therian attributes

Leaf: this applies to me
Flower: this doesn't exactly apply to me, but something similar does

(I get species dysphoria from my lack of claws, short teeth, short tongue, and the color of my gums, but not from not being able to move like a lion)
The above image is the same as the one originally posted by Hearthfox, except there is a flower stamp on "We long for things such as the ability to move in ways humans cannot" and are seven leaf stamps on the following items: "We have a self-image which does not match our human bodies" "Human society can feel foreign and overwhelming" "We can feel body parts that aren't there like tails" "We can experience 'shifts' in which we feel more animal like" "Simple validations such as being referred to as our species make us feel very happy!" "Communing with nature brings us peace" "We see each other as animals instead of humans"

The cover of "the Ethics of Ambiguity" by Simone de Beauvoir The title and author are in a messy black handwritten cursive script, author name occupying the top half and title the bottom half. Three overlapping yellow triangles descend from the top, and three overlapping blue ones rise from the bottom, overlapping each other in green diamonds in the center of the cover. The rest of the cover is white.

When you are into a lot of things, this jawn seems to just pick the one that's the best match. This quiz is for kink/bdsm newbies or those truly having trouble figuring out how to explore kink/bdsm, but isn't the best for those who already know what they like and are kinkier than most of their peers
Screen grab of my kink/bdsm type. Results show "You are..." then below that, a red feather followed by "The Sensualist" and "100% match" Below this is a short, detailed description of the role, further followed by a box with Likely preferences of "Romance and Affection, Nipple Play, Sensation Play, Teasing, and Temperature Play" The detailed description reads, "You are a seeker of sensation, drawn to the symphony of touch, taste, scent, and sound. Whether you're orchestrating an experience or immersing yourself in it, your focus is on heightening every sense. Soft fabrics, warm oils, or the whisper of breath against skin, these are the tools or your delights." "You crave connection through the body, finding beauty in the slow, deliberate exploration of pleasure. For you, BDSM is a canvas where every stroke, every texture, every shiver tells a story"
