Hades and Persephone are tinted, lightened, cleaned up, and printed out on 12x16 Sanders Waterford 140lb hot press paper. (note this method only works with a printer that uses pigment-based inks, as pigment based ink is fully waterproof. Dye based inks will unfortunately bleed when wet 😭).
Whenever polymarkets are mentioned, I can’t help but think of the movie Rat Race with Rowan Atkinson

In a new video game, players can join a heist crew to take back looted African artifacts from museums, but there’s even more at stake: Users must learn musical rhythms, consult elders, and participate in ceremonies to reactivate the social meaning of these objects.

If this is what they do to white American citizens in front of everyone, imagine what happens to non-white people behind closed doors.
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.

A picture of green jay feathers (Cyanocorax luxuosus). They are all lined up and organized: primaries, secondaries, coverts, tail feathers. Most of the feathers are gray with a green tip.
I just stumbled upon featherbase, a database of feather pictures from a bunch of bird species.🪶
So pretty!
