The artwork shows a ceremony on a patio. There's a round pool in the center of the image and a round arch in the background. Sisters of the convent are placed in different locations performing different parts of the ritual. Half of them wear a peacock mask and half of them wear sun-like headpieces. There's a woman in the center on the horse. She wears a blue dress decorated with mosaic-like patterns. The horse is covered with blue patterns and stands still above the water. Two twins are sitting on the floor surrounded by large lilies. Behind them one sister plays a harp and another one is holding two bowls with mysterious light. There's a big mosaic tree in the background with other sisters dancing around it. There are two other sisters on top of the wall waving scarves. The artwork is mostly blue and light green

The image shows a room with tall windows and stairs leading to a bathroom below. There's a woman with red hair reaching towards a dollhouse. The woman is an original character of the commissioner. On the right side from the window there's a wall with decorated arch around it and some paintings hanging on the wall. On the first level there's a bathtub with a man laying in it. The bathtub is partially covered by a divider. The artwork is mostly pink and mint with lots of patterns.

The artwork shows musicians sitting in shallow water in a purple room. First musician plays wooden drums, second one plays erhu, third one plays a flute, fourth one plays a gong. All background musicians wear either pots or plates on their heads. The woman in the center has black hair and plays an instrument inspired by Korean instrument called gayageum. There are three purple goldfish floating above the ground. The wall in the background is decorated with arches with stained glass and there's a big flower pot with purple cornflowers. The room also has some arches with silk fabric hanging on them. The artwork is purple with some green details.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

If i had just stayed offline i could have saved the “bombed Iran” news for the morning

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Whether you’re new to indie comics or a certified Blerd, here are 10 Black female creators you should be following right now.

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination.

The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

The number one responsibility of Black people under fascism … keep your job and your benefits

1. In the early hours of June 12, 1963, after Medgar Evers, the first field secretary of the NAACP in Mississippi, was returning from a meeting with NAACP lawyers on voting rights.

Hours after JFK had given his Civil Rights address, Medgar Evers would return late to his home in the early morning

I want Gen Z to reclaim their youth too.

Fight the power.

And then have some matcha. Do some yoga. Journal. Deep breathe. Travel if you can. Kiss a boy. Kiss a girl. Kiss both. Hug your mama. Your daddy. Binge eat chocolate. This life is for living too.

I'm popping on (but not reading notifications) because I heard the funniest thing and I gotta share.

Two people out on a date-

A tall, elegant bird with a long, pointed bill stands among lush green foliage. Its pale blue head feathers drape down its neck like streamers, and its chest displays a striking pattern of fine, dark lines over a white base.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures.
