Is this sandbox too spooky? Try a less grim take on Barovia with these more heroic (and more linear) options. And we pick clean the corpses of the other official Ravenloft books that have dropped in recent years.

acrylic paint on paper, tear paper, stick to page with acrylic matte medium, take photo, repeat! do random shit in after effects
if i did it again i’d wait for it to dry in between pics + i accidentally started with gloss medium instead of matte. also be more intentional with the paint mixing

@ameliasom.com I must know, what _is_ the medium/method in the time-lapse collage here?
I can figure out the sort of wipe-reveal on elements as they are added, but, what was the underlying physical process, if any?
(I have theories but I don't want to assume)

I've said this before but the point to me of data center opposition is not limited to "we oppose this forever" but for communities to bring pressure on companies and public officials to extract concessions and otherwise get what they want

Got a really delightful comment today about just how good everyone in this series is at playing children and I feel VERY justified in casting incredible people who all have experience working with school aged kids. Everyone CRUSHED.
NEW EPISODE!
Having encountered strange monsters in the past, these students know something is infecting the behavior of their peers and attempt to track the source.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.
I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially

This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power.

We are told to ignore the racism of Hegel, Kant, Locke etc because they were just "men of their time". So what do we do with the racism of current academics? Are they too just "men of their time"? What is this "time" that seems to make racists of men?

yep, i will note that the fugitive slave act was used to try to kidnap free blacks and sell them into slavery
Breaking my heart this morning:
“Fitting ankle monitors on noncitizens without a criminal history who remain in compliance with their immigration cases has little precedent.”
True in the narrowest sense. False given how the history of slavery and peonage roars through each part of this story.
