Legendary Pull!
Kid from Birmingham, parents were factory workers. What a legend.
Bunch of kids who wanted to make music that sounded like their favorite horror movies looked.

Two shadow elves, the native denizens of Equinox, the Dying World.
"I seek a cure for an ill loved one. She has little time."
"Is she your daughter?" Aeryth asked.
The elf turned her head and though the sun was shining, her face was now in darkness.
"She is my world." Aeryth thought this a metaphor. Then the necromancer spoke.
"Equinox," said he.
"Dusk," said she.
This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

A brave ranger is crowdsourcing the number of National Park Service employees terminated at every park in the country. Read on for highlights on parks from the PNW to the Rockies. www.sfgate.com/national-par...
1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.
This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

As federal research grants continue to be frozen, and NIH staff is being gutted, please note this study was funded by federal research grants, including from NIH. If they continue with staff cuts, and continue to freeze new awards, this is just one example of what we lose.
I’ve written up a fuller version of this take at Arc Digital www.arcdigital.media/p/the-unbear...
The image shows a person holding up a U.S. passport with significant portions covered by yellow tape. The passport belongs to someone with the last name “Schafer” and the given name “Hunter James.” The document includes a passport photo of a person with long hair and a serious expression. The birthdate is listed as December 31, 1998, and the place of birth as New Jersey, USA. The passport’s gender marker is “M,” and it has an issue date of February 20, 2025, with an expiration date of February 19, 2035. The background features the official U.S. passport design, including an eagle emblem. The person’s face is partially visible behind the document, with only the lower part of their face showing beneath the tape.
Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.
Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

🚨New from @dropsitenews.com: Tesla is forecast to win the largest State Dept contract of 2025 -- $400 million for "Armored Tesla" -- according to procurement documents we reviewed.

A self-coup, also called an autocoup (from Spanish autogolpe) or coup from the top, is a form of coup d'état in which a political leader, having come to power through legal means, stays in power illegally through the actions of themselves or their supporters. The leader may dissolve or render powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assume extraordinary powers. Other measures may include annulling the constitution, suspending civil courts, and having the head of government assume dictatorial powers.
Get really familiar with this concept because that's what is happening right now. We will no longer have free and fair elections. Democracy is dead. It was murdered in broad daylight by a TV gameshow host and a ketamine addled afrikaaner man child.
The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, United States DOGE Service, as an entity insulated from public records requests or most judicial intervention until at least 2034 (Important reporting here by NYT Minho Kim)

What the right wing REALLY means:
We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government.
This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

hair ice, literally looking exactly like white hair, growing from a dead branch
a close up of the tiny, perfect, white strands of the hair ice
I hiked up the north side of Squak Mountain in the Issaquah Alps this morning when it was 28°F and found the MOTHER OF ALL HAIR ICE. Look at this beauty!! This is by far the most perfect hair ice I've ever found.
For those who missed my last hair ice post, this is caused by fungus in the wood.
GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

The Volcanome!
This lava launching legend is here to heave hellish heaps of heat from his magical hat! Equipped with boiling bracers, burning buckle, and the blazing blade, this height-impaired hothead rules over the grouchy magma-gnomes with a fiery fist!

This is what happens to trans women placed in men's prisons. They are subjected to daily horrific rapes and used as human chattel to pacify aggressive and violent inmates. It's called v coding.
I’m one of the play testers for the Draw Steel Codex, the VTT that MCDM have the DMHub team building.
I’ve recently been putting some videos together to onboard new testers.

A snake with patterned scales and a blunt, upturned snout pokes its head through vines and leaves.
Pet portrait commission - always loved hognose snake's silly little faces so this was a great excuse to draw one!
David Lynch died. Jesus, what a legend, what an uncompromising visionary.
I knew he had emphysema, I didn't realize he was basically dying.
Just a titan of cinema, one of the most original and influential directors ever. Spend decades low-key selling surrealism to Americans who badly needed it.
The gate, or door, or whatever it was started to close. With Jackson Bootblack on the other side of it.
"Embers!" John called out, but the high elf was surrounded.
At that moment, a detonation. An explosion of sound that knocked the demons back. And a giant stood before the Egress Demon.
BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.
