‘#NoKings organisers have released an estimate of the turnout for today’s protests, saying the day’s events have drawn several million people so far. Several hundred demonstrations are still under way.

Protests were held at about 2,100 locations nationwide, in all 50 states and in some cities abroad.’

How many other news outlets are reporting the scale of this protest?

Took me a few minutes to find out what that "no kings" protests were about, given that King Charles's official birthday is today. Turns out Trump's (actual) birthday is also today, and a big military parade is also today, and those are the things being protested, not the actual king. I admit, at first I did wonder "what's Trump done now?" as almost everything negative these days seems to be due to a thing Trump's just done…

"This again?" the dragon said. "It's been just a few centuries since the last time.'

"Please," the knight said.

"I asked you to make sure you had a way of getting rid of bad kings yourself, before you made any new ones."

"We didn't understand we made a king."

"You are such fools. Very well."

I honestly believe that this is the best talk that I've ever given on secure by design, and all it took was a non-nuclear audience.

I wanna write stories but I have no idea how to get ideas. Once I have the kernel of an idea I don't have much of a problem building it up into something worthwhile (at least, I think), but getting the initial idea-seed is just something I have no idea how to go about doing.

I fiiiiinally got myself together enough to actually phone the motorbike service place near Guildford and ask them stuff. My bike's chain almost certainly needs replacing, along with the sprockets, because it has a few stiff links that, while I thought I'd managed to free them up, still seem to be making it very hard (nigh impossible) to adjust the chain properly. The left fork oil seal has just slightly started leaking so that needs doing, and they suggested replacing both at the same time, which makes sense - both would be around the same age, after all. And the front tyre is near the limit.

The place near Guildford can do all these things, and I've been there before to have tyres replaced (as that seems to be their speciality) (and also they give IAM members a discount) but, once I'd reached the end of my list, the guy did ask how much the bike was worth, presumably with the suggestion that it might actually be better to replace it than get it fixed. And now I don't know what to do.

I don't want to start bike-shopping at this point - I like my SV and have always assumed I'll stick with it until I can afford to switch to an electric motorbike. I don't want to spend lots of money, but I do want to get the bike roadworthy again. Ugh. Maybe I should phone other places and ask them the same things and see if I get different answers. But I also don't want to have to make yet more phone calls. Hmmmm.

@Charlie If there wasn't still quite a bit of tread depth left on the back tyre I would. The idea of throwing away a tyre with quite a bit of life left in it doesn't sit well with me though!

That morning, Nican and Zenith decided to go out early to skate on the frozen lake.
The blue red panda giving confidence to the bunny, showing how to glide over the ice without fear.
The snow in the trees hadn’t started melting yet, and the world felt like it was still stretching, still waking up.

It was just one of those mornings where everything felt simple.
Cold cheeks, warm hearts, and the quiet certainty that the day would be even better if it started together.

----

How this drawing reached Zenith is its own little story:
Nican didn’t just show the illustration to Zenith. He had it printed as a 1,000-piece puzzle, and gave it to Zenith all scrambled in a box.
They had to solve it together, piece by piece, not knowing what image would appear, and slowly, as the picture revealed itself: mountains, morning light, a frozen lake, and two familiar shapes that began with the eyes; Zenith realized it was a gift meant to be shared.

You can see how the puzzle came together on their bsky accounts:
https://bsky.app/profile/nican.net

Or, I’m also sharing it, along with the short time-lapse process video, on my Telegram art channel:

Very nice. I wish I had more to show, but my wetsuit's shoulder(s) are gradually disintegrating and I'm anxious about even putting it on now for fear it'll just tear through. I ought to get another someday! Sadly my standards are quite high while my wallet is kinda thin, so it might just not happen. Story of my costume-related life, really! :p

"Can it be wrong to love?" the young woman asked.

The witch suppressed a sigh and a slew of memories. "You need to be more specific."

"There's a woman... Wise, patient, kind, and... she knows magic..."

"Nothing wrong with loving a woman," the witch said at last. "It might be unrequited, though."

Based on a recent post I saw, two important things about Paypal:
1 - Use invoices, not send/receive requests. It's more protection for you.
2 - Never, NEVER add any notes or descriptions. Say its 'art commission' etc, not 'vore piece ;3'. If flagged, one or both accounts can get permabanned.

I cant stress the second point enough. Many artists have Paypal as their only viable means to receive payments internationally, and a single 'Cool NSFW art' note can literally ruin their main source of income.

life hack for people who use glasses, if you're without glasses and want to quickly read or look for something, make a pinhole lens with your hand

curl your index finger as tight as possible while leaving a small hole, then look trough it, try closing or opening the hole to get the best balance between not blurry and not too dark

I've done this many times before, can confirm, it's a useful trick. I actually explained it to my sisters (who are photographers) just a couple of days ago and they were intrigued! Although I'm surprised, being photographers, they hadn't already thought of it :)

Derwin looks back the path he has walked, not in regret, but in recognition.
The road ahead is just as uncertain, but with one paw forward, he chooses to keep going.
Healing isn’t about forgetting where you’ve been, it’s about deciding that what’s ahead still matters.

Piece made to honor Derwin, who is choosing to live fully, to connect, to rebuild, and to keep walking no matter the obstacles.
Happy first anniversary in the furry fandom!

Very fair, I should have said optional tail. I wasn't sure if just head and paws was enough, and tail was the only other thing I could think of that did not get into arm sleeves, leg sleeves, or chest coverage.

@phantomkitty I could facetiously reply, "What about species that don't have paws?" but I take your meaning. :)

But I also think that if one of the goals of the parade is inclusivity...and if it's not, then perhaps it should be...then we start to have to ask ourselves why it should matter what they're wearing at all.
