[getting rejected at the bar] that's fine. actually my boys and i were thinking of diminishing and going into the west

This is a really great piece that kind of digs at the heart of why I love Rebirth so much. There's an argument that there's an intetionality behind its "bloat." A sense of whimsy and illustration that otherwise wouldn't be there.

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial view landscape. It depicts an apple orchard in bloom in the centre, allotments to the left and sheep in their field at the bottom. Train tracks go past the top of the orchard and allotment.

Sewn train tracks past an apple orchard (to the left).

An angled view of a sewn vegetable allotment surrounded by rough land, trees and with train tracks to the left.

An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

Yaaay, my Eteo piece ist here!🥹
Please tell me if this is anything because I don't remember it lmao

Great piece from Malindy here examining the enormous collection of minigames in FFVII Rebirth, and how these build up a picture of a Rebirth's world beyond the main storyline and combat-focused gameplay. Have a read!

Minigames are littered throughout the world of FFVII Rebirth, they create a gestalt of storytelling throughout its world, @yourkyotowife.bsky.social wrote a fantastic piece for us about it.

Enjoy!

It's a fab piece 🙏 thanks so much for writing for us!

Earth.

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right & bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun. 🧪🔭 #Artemis

Thanks Peter, it’s been frustrating to say the least 😅

Well. Guess I’m going to be doing a lot more freelance work soon

Side wall of skis blown out, metal edges bent, we are cooked chat

After breaking my wrist and the ski hill getting basically no snow this season, this seems about right

Why did they have to drag the process out that long 😭
