Iโ€™m Jimi.

I quietly contemplate these days. I enjoy reading about and infrequently discussing #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Horror, #Science, #USPolitics and #Noir. Iโ€™ve been #TentCamping over half my life.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 11, no. 9 (September 1949)

I like the kind of oblique/off-balance nature of this. They were focused on something in the foreground (something our hero had just shot?), looking out of the cover, until the plant-men interrupted them when they turned away from us. Also it looks rather friendly for an invasion.

It's hard to swim in wellies and full SRT kit, so this is where my partner and I had to turn back in #GrotteDeGournier in #Vercors. We got right next to Salle Chevalier, meaning we'd covered about one third of the length of the passage. Next year, hiking boots & thicker wetstuit.

It is perfectly possible to look both feminine and dangerous. Another erinys drawing, mixing angelic and demonic traits.

I went big again on the hair, but also on the poofy sleevesโ€”and the wings, naturally. I tried out a variety of different colour schemes, but after an accident with colour filling ended up going all in on pinks and peaches, to hopefully striking effect.

Hope folk like it.

Rooftop solar, on just HALF of the world's roofs, would produce MORE electricity than is used today from ALL sources. And would uplift all people, strengthen all people, and drive a permanent economic boom.

Let every Neighbourhood become Saudi Arabia, but free.

Solar panels on half the worldโ€™s roofs could meet its entire electricity demand โ€“ new research

India and China are the cheapest places to install rooftop solar, while the US, Japan and the UK are the most expensive.

I did a short video on this. For anyone who might need to hear, like, *logistical* reasons for why drafting people into farm work is bad.

Still early days for these lovely Bartelli tomatoes, but definitely going in the right direction!

The coup has already happened and the people who wish to deconstruct the United States or doing so from within the White House.

Tech billionaires plan to take over cities and turn them into their nerd Riech fascist city states. Stopping them in the cities does two things it builds social power against those who would destroy us nationally

Oh, yeah, this is one of the few this season that really look interesting from what I've seen so far (and it'll probably be too scary for me +___+).
