The meaning of women nudity.

Nudity had so many meaning across human history, yet in modern time we’re so busy that we decided to treat it simplified.

Y'all if you're American please email your politicians and senators against the parents decide act. I'm fucking begging because we're reaching a tipping point.

Call or Write Congress About H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act - GovTrack.us

Quick and easy link to both find your congressmen/women and giving you a quick and easy way to copy / paste the message into it. You want to oppose. It's an act that will demand that all major OS makers integrate a direct forced age verification control into all OS.

I received a comment on this that I figured would be very helpful- it's a template for communicating with your representatives. Be sure to use it for reference

Dear Representative [Name],

I am writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 8250 (The "Parents Decide Act"). As your constituent and a concerned citizen, I believe this bill introduces unprecedented risks to digital privacy and security.

Specifically, I am alarmed by:

SEC. 2(a)(1)(B): Requiring age verification to even use an operating system creates a mandatory "hardware lockout" that ends anonymous computing and forces users to hand over sensitive identification data to major corporations just to power on their devices.

SEC. 2(a)(3): Mandating that OS providers create a system for all app developers to access verification data is a massive security vulnerability. This effectively creates a centralized API of user identities accessible to thousands of third-party developers, many of whom may lack adequate data protection.

This bill does not protect children; it creates a centralized surveillance infrastructure at the OS level. I urge you to protect the privacy of your constituents and vote NO on H.R. 8250.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

This is a hell that us down under in Australia are already living in, and it’s not even effective at what it claims to do in protecting children.

Given that, in the wake of this mandatory identification policy, my country seems to be moving to hand over its citizens biometric data, like fingerprints, Face ID files, and identification documents, over to the USA and to ICE to maintain the visa free travel (ESTA) we have, I strongly urge any US resident to send these emails, or make calls.

But if you can’t do that, the most powerful thing you can do is spread the word. Tell your friends, family, coworkers, anyone who can help.

My reach will likely be small, and so I don’t know if this will mean very much in the grand scheme of things, but I cannot stand to see this tracking happen to another population as it did to mine.

And if you think it won’t affect you, it will. All anonymity goes out the window when your accounts can be linked via your personal ID

I wish you all luck in preventing this act from going through.

" Oh Fulgrim dear... What have You done? "

🐦‍🔥🐎🗡️Tiny Horse Jumpscare.

Have You ever asked yourself... " What If the Blade of Laer, instead of a sword, had been a tiny magical sassy fashion inclined pony with a mid-atlantic accent, telling Fulgrim to kill Ferrus? "

Course you have asked, why wouldn't you?

I love this meme so much, and The best version IS still Calgar and Toriel's one, but It Works with Every Damn crossover ever.

These are 2625x3500 100% digital sketches and renderings done step by step and recorded on Ibispaint X, using tons of references for Fulgrims Armour, that I didn't do with A FOURTH of ALL of The filigri and details It should have, but again, its a My Little Pony meme. ALSO needed references for Rarity, of course~ but I quite like her look here, EVEN IF SHE SHOULD NEVER BE RENDERED IN 3D

ian watson died

[relax-and-read-on]

For those that don't know, Ian Watson was the first writer for Black Library. He was the mind behind the completely insane but forever entertaining "Inquisition war" Trilogy.

I, personally, really like his writing and admired him as an author. He had a charming personal website that he was updating until just last year, that I invite everyone to go visit:

https://www.ianwatson.info/

From there, I invite you all to visit two specific section of his website to discover his work: the time he wrote the script for "A.I: Artificial Intelligence", the Kubrick movie. I know this movie is not wildly beloved, but the story behind how Ian Watson ended up writing it is pretty entertaining, and gave me new appreciation for that movie.

Similarly, if you can *somehow* find an english copy or read french, I suggest reading "Orgasmachine", wich is probably the strangest novel I have read in my life. It's a satyrical scifi erotic feminist mess. It's so strange. It's a delight. I think it might have been one of Ian Watson favorite work, as he mentioned it several time on his website and kept working at it for many years.

Ian Watson was a legend. He was a writer, spoke many languages, was generous with his community, quite funny, and just seemed to be a kind soul. He was doing very forward thinking things with his novels, even in time when it wasn't so popular.

Go read aomething by him today. The world is a bit less whimsical without him.

And a few full-size meme templates. Make Emperor proud with them.

Finally finished Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen.

And.... Phhhhhhjhh, it's just nothing, a story told to hear your own voice.

It's wordy, the plot really goes no where, it's just... There.

I was gonna read Ghazkul next.... But i heard it is mostly Black Templars, so on to Ghost Legion.

Resist the push for generative AI. Make art.

Make Art — Joshua W. Cotter

Alt Text: Four panels of a comic by artist Joshua W. Cotter entitled "Make Art".

Panel 1: "Art poses a threat to corporatocratic systems because a purpose of art is to remind the individual of their inherent autonomy. Their humanity."

Panel 2: "That is a purpose in direct diametric opposition to that of corporatocratic systems: objectification of the individual for profit and control."

Panel 3: "Generative A.I. is part of an authoritarian corporatocratic effort to co-opt and commodify the creative process to rid the end result — art — of that with threatens its existence — humanity."

Panel 4: "Resist commodification. Defy corporatocracy. Defy oligarchy. Defy their anti-human, anti-life authoritarian movement. Make art." — JWC, 02-10-26
