i love love love origins and da2, i have da2 tattoos, but i don't know if I'd really recommend them. dai is overambitious and less well written than the other 2. I would give them all a shot but not feel bad about bouncing off the combat and graphics of any of them.
I haven't seen official sourcing on it yet but apparently a QAnon guy got suspended for posting notoriously bad child sexual abuse materials and then Musk reinstated the account. I'm frankly afraid to look it up because I don't want to see the materials. https://twitter.com/faineg/status/1684329030500098048?t=747mnnSVncGD8OBd0Vhddg&s=19
Hey, remember when the author of this piece falsely accused a political opponent of sexual violence in an attempt to discredit him? I remember!
Yeah, I'm @NoraReed@mastodon.social. I'll probably move off that instance soon though, I got a bunch of trolls recently.
So I take pieces of murrine (glass rods with patterns in them) and position them in a trio shape, then I fire them to about 1450F so they round out and fuse together.

I had a really difficult weekend and didn't sleep much last night, but I did sell a piece of jewelry that I'm really proud of yesterday, so that's a bright spot.
I go to YA when I don't want to be challenged. I love The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix in particular.
I'm a jeweler focusing on glass and so I spend a lot of time doodling around while my kiln runs. It's really nice to work for myself but knowing my work relies on my ability to market it is pretty stressful.
i think you should just figure out how to present yourself in a way that brings you joy without second-guessing if you are doing it because of internalized misogyny. go toward what pulls you. it's always okay to change your mind.
oh my god if educating transphobes was our job we'd never have time to do anything else
