I hope GW does the right thing and doesn't succumb to the woke mind virus.

I asked James Workshop himself about it back in like 2023 and he confirmed this is the VERY CANON name of the Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens! DO NOT RETCON!

I'm just gonna start posting random writing and character design epiphanies I get with zero context.

South Africaโ€™s only state transgender surgery clinic is currently able to support just a handful of patients each year, while the waiting list stretches into decades. A stark reflection of what under-resourced gender-affirming healthcare looks like in practice.

Found a nice comics thumbnail layout for CSP.
I think I can safely say I prefer working this way to writing a full script before starting on visuals. Once I'm done I'm probably going to enlarge and print them and do the pencils by hand.

โ€˜Hypocrisyโ€™: Critics slam SA for boosting coal exports to Israel despite taking it to court over Gaza A pro-Palestinian group has criticised South Africa for providing โ€˜material aidโ€™ to Israel while its genocide case is making its way through the International Court of Justice.โ€ฆ

Critics have slammed the South African government, accusing it of hypocrisy, because the countryโ€™s coal exports to Israel have accelerated in the past two years despite Pretoriaโ€™s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

A windows alert prompt that labeled "Error", which reads "Success".

I spent most of Friday sleeping or at work. Spent Saturday at the Kidlit illustration course I'm doing, then went to a stand-up show in Obs my friend was opening for. Spent most of today sleeping.
I also managed to thumbnail around 18 or so pages of comics over the weekend.
How... did I do that?

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate received 3176 reports of serious assault and 273 reports of torture by SAPS during the 2023/24 year.
Also worth remembering that most South Africans do not actually bother to report crime, let alone police brutality. The real stats are much higher.

now our president.
A more recent example:
In January 2025 SAPS besieged an illegally operated mine in Stillfontein.
Many kept underground by armed gangs. No attempt at rescue. SAPS blocked exits and cut off food and water to the mine.
Between 78 and 100 people died of starvation and dehydration.

But here's a famous example of the South Africa Police Service:
The Marikana Massacre of 2012. Mineworkers from the AMCU and NUM unions earning R4000/m (just under $500 in 2012) went on strike. SAPS responded by gunning them down with live ammunition. 40 dead. 78 injured. The minister responsible is

Protests happen because people have no electricity, working taps, running toilets, or jobs. They are met with rubber bullets, batons and teargas.
And our police aren't even the worst in the region. I know for a fact Zimbabweans, Kenyans and Nigerians will have absolute horror stories to tell.
