Worker solidarity is the future.

[Image: Boots Riley (@ BootsRiley) quote retweeted Rachel Premack (@ rrpre).

Rachel Premack’s original tweet says: “This is big — UPS’ 3,300 pilots say they will not fly if the company’s Teamsters package drivers strike.”

Boots Riley’s quote retweet says: “Biggest strike wave since the 70s. An unprecedented level of solidarity is happening. We have the power to re-shape the world if we want.” End ID.]

If you love Tree Law, the beloved subreddit is open again. I highly recommend sorting by top/all time.

To clarify after some questions:


(American) Tree Law is very satisfying because the cases often involve someone damaging trees that don’t belong to them, usually for an aesthetic, mercenary, petty, and/or spiteful reason. However, American tree law comes down like a HAMMER on such people, and they will get mighty fines. If the tree dies, in fact, they’ll be on the hook to replace the whole thing, and as it turns out, trees ain’t cheap. As the article above summarizes one incident in Reddit terms:

To rephrase it as an AITA post: am I the asshole if I cut down 32 trees on my neighbor’s property, but instead of just charging me a $32,000 fine, now they’re going to make me build a road and find transplanted, equally mature trees to replant?

Tree Law is perhaps one of the few branches (I didn’t even mean that to be a pun) of American law where self-entitled wrongdoers WILL face consequences. NBC Universal wants to maul a row of city-owned ficus trees to deprive striking workers of shade during a heat wave? Oh boy.

a digital drawing, in simple black and white, of Murky/Mishka (Pathologic) signing 4 animal species by making their horn shapes with her hands. The first is "cow", or "bull", which she is shown signing with her hands in fists, thumb side to the temple, and pinkie extended. The second is "ram", or "sheep", which she is shown signing with her hands in fists, face of bent fingers to the temple, pinkie extended and wrists bent towards the back to mimick the spiral of a ram's horn. The third is "calf", which she is shown signing with her hands in fists, thumb side to the temples, and index finger extended pointing forward to mimick the small horns of a calf. The fourth and last is "goat", which she is shown signing with her hands in fists, pinkie side of the hand to the temple, and her index fingers curved and pointing backwards to mimick the curve of a goat's horns.ALT
a collection of small digital sketches, in black and white, of Murky/Mishka (Pathologic) signing 8 words relating to nature.  The first is "plant", which she signs by a closed fist and index and middle finger extended upwards.  The second is "stem" or "stalk" of a plant, which she signs by signing "plant" then pinching the two fingers with her thumb and gesturing downwards.  The third is for "thin leaf", which she signs by signing "plant" and putting her other hand flat and perpendicular to the extended fingers.  The fourth is for "wide leaf", which she signs by and putting her other hand, wide and sprawled, two fingers touching the "plant" sign." The fifth is "blossom", or "flower", which she signs by signing "plant" and putting her other hand wide and sprawled above it.  The sixth is "spikes" or "spikelets" for a plant such as wheat, white whip, brown or bloody twyre, which she signs by signing "plant" and putting her other hand, curved in a cup, all fingers together, lower part of it touching the "plant" sign, above it.  The seventh is "harvesting", or "picking a flower", which she signs by signing "plant" and making a "scything" gesture with her index finger with her other hand next to it.  The eighth is "fruit of tree", which she signs by signing "tree" in a closed fist and putting her other hand, open but slightly curved in, above it.ALT
The first is "person", which she signs by a "V" of index and middle finger pointing downward as to mimick legs.  The second is for "Burakh" , which she signs by signing "person" then placing her other hand, index and pinkie pointed to mimick horns, above it. The third is for "Dankovsky", which she signs by signing "person" then drawing a squiggly line above it ("snake").  The fourth is for "Sticky", which she signs by striking the index of one hand against the side of the other, held open and flat, pointed downstarts, mimicking the striking of a matchstick against the box. The fifth is "set of twins", or "changeling", which she signs by having four fingers instead of two pointing downwards in the same manner as for "person", her thumb tucked against the palm. The sixth is "roots" for a plant, which she signs by signing "plant" (a closed fist with index and middle finger pointing up) and putting her other hand, all fingers sprawled and pointing downwards, under it. The seventh is "roots" for a tree, which she signs by signing "tree" (a closed fist) and putting her other hand, all fingers sprawled and pointing downwards, under it. The eight is "family", "ancestry", "ancestors", which she signs by signing "person" in a closed fist and putting her other hand, all fingers sprawled and pointing downwards, under it (literally "roots of a person").ALT

as I was saying…

Murky developing her own sign language (MSL… Mishka Sign Language) for when she goes non-verbal and her new family figuring it out as she goes, broadening the signed vocabulary each time and perfecting the signs as everyone just kind of fools around and tries to find out.

she has a few words for you… literally

Pathologic sketchdump because this game gave me brainworms.

Sketches from the waist up of Nara, Lara Ravel, Yulia Lyuricheva, and Grace as their Pathologic 2 designs.ALT

One of my favourite and most relatable parts of P2 was commiserating with a colleague about your experiments not working out the way you expected, and coming away from it 5 minutes later with a breakthrough.

Sketches of Daniil Dankovsky sitting next to Artemy Burakh at a table debating a vial of blood Artemy is holding. Below this is a separate sketch of Clara the changeling.ALT

Modern outfits

Full body modern outfit designs for Artemy, Daniil, and Clara.ALT

Experimenting with giving Artemy some more East Asian features given that he’s half Kin who are based on the Buryat people as a little treat to myself, an East Asian.

Two coloured bust sketches of Artemy and one full body sketch of him kneeling and holding blood in his hands.ALT

Ooooooo my horrible little epidemiologist. He’s literally just like me fr

Three sketches of Daniil. One is a head shot. In another he is reading a book. And in the other he is crossing his arms.ALT
