I suppose its a matter of context. Would it be a theme for a battle? Or just a regular encounter? Or something else entirely

“La Guadalupana” by Ángel Rodríguez-Díaz (Puerto Rican-American) - Oil on canvas / 1999 - National Museum of Mexican Art (Chicago, Illinois) #WomenInArt #AngelRodriguezDiaz #ÁngelRodríguezDíaz #AngelRodríguez-Díaz #NationalMuseumofMexicanArt #ArtBsky #art #artText #PuertoRicanArtist #SandraCisneros
Chicana writer Sandra Cisneros appears life-size, seated on the floor before a sofa. Bare legs extend toward us, knees bent, body angled diagonally across the canvas. Her torso twists as she leans into an oversized white satin pillow perched on the couch, its slick folds catching a hard, theatrical light. Her face, rendered with meticulous realism, meets us in a steady, unsmiling gaze as pores, creases, and highlights register the heavy, almost overheated air. Dark hair frames her features and spills toward her shoulders, echoing a deep, uncertain space behind her. In the upper right, the Virgin of Guadalupe materializes like a vision, framed by a scalloped mandorla edged with tiny, jewel-bright spheres that punctuate the dark ground and visually bind living woman to holy icon. Created as Ángel Rodríguez-Díaz’s second portrait of Cisneros, the painting stages an encounter between a celebrated Chicana author and the Virgin who haunts her essay “Guadalupe the Sex Goddess,” where she insists that her “Virgen” must be a woman like her and even declares, “She is God,” rejecting passive, silent models of brown womanhood. Here, the close rhyme between the two faces collapses distance between writer and apparition, casting Guadalupe as a real, Indigenous-featured woman and Cisneros as a contemporary goddess. The artist’s unforgiving photorealism of glistening skin, flexed muscles, and wrinkles at the knees refuses airbrushed ideals, honoring bodies often policed or shamed. Painted in 1999, when “The House on Mango Street” had already become a landmark of Latina coming-of-age literature, this work also marks a moment of mutual recognition between literature and visual art. Cisneros later donated the painting to the National Museum of Mexican Art in memory of her father, anchoring this intimate, contested self-portrait in Chicago’s Mexican and Mexican American cultural home.

And that’s why I’ll never have to encounter Mr. 2547 again.

Dice Sized Tales continues on Thursday.

The party has endured a harrowing encounter with a kobold outpost, and now they travel North towards the swamplands in which Thrax-Ragoth is rumored to live.

But just who, or what is Thrax-Ragoth?

Maybe I encounter more doctors who actually choose this profession (I'd like to think I'm one of them) due to a genuine desire to improve things, because of the region I'm from / live in.

In places where medicine is not seen to have "ROI", it weeds out many who are in it solely for profit/prestige.

noticeable changes in my lifetime: people i encounter no longer think it’s appropriate to offer unsolicited comments on body size, including whether or not they approve of the perceived change

I’m glad this special space will continue to be utilized. It’s a beautiful building and I spent a couple of years attending services there after a chance encounter with @feenix.bsky.social at Portland Pride a decade ago.

Back after one LOADED weekend. Today we knocked out both "random encounter" and "random encounter but we added bongos because it's a gorilla".
