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 😭).

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.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

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 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
