Home Planet by Mike Winkelmann (Beeple). For some reason the two crosses on the Knight's shields are different. I'm not a heraldic expert but the one on the left looks like the Cross pattée (the four arms have flat ends) and the one on the right is a Maltese Cross (the four arms are shaped like arrowheads pointing inward). Other than that everything looks perfectly normal.

Saint Germain Maltese Cross
The Maltese cross is a symbol of perfect balance—both in the alignment of the four planes of Matter (and the Four Cosmic Forces thereof) and in the inner and outer expression of God’s Spirit within the souls of his own. As such, the Maltese cross illustrates the drawing forth of light’s energy and consciousness from on high (through the north arm) for the manifestation in the world of form of God’s omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence (through the west, south and east arms respectively).

So, the vases that were mostly frosted, except for the Maltese cross turned out really nice. The ones where only the Maltese cross was frosted did not! I didn't even take a picture of them, they were so bad! I wound up cleaning those ones off and re-spraying them to match the others that did turn out. So, in the end, all my vases were the same, but they all looked good at least.
I brought them to the fire hall for set-up and we filled half with black stones and white flowers and half with red gems, a flameless candle, and thin red line flags.
I also wound up making a poster to hang up by the table of gifts that the auxiliary got for the firefighters.

Work on restoring Diyarbakir’s ancient walls has turned up a surprise: a Roman sarcophagus, the first in the Turkish city. Who was buried inside, and why is there a Maltese cross carved on the stone coffin?

ok so saw a post recently that implied that thing again where critiques even jokey ones of usamericans are always completely void of nuance. and uh. i dont think thats true.
I just dont really like how I'm not allowed to live my life without understanding the cultural and sociopolitical intricacies (and culture) of a country I'm never going to visit, that don't expand my understanding of my own country's culture and history, coming from people who have no interest in learning about my country at all.
I dont know any of you and you have no interest in knowing me. My ability to spot american anti-blackness isn't helpful in a country with a different kind of anti-blackness.
Its an expectation of American ideas from the citizens of a country whose governments goal is colonialism and a frustration to not fall into the category of people who automatically understand Americanisms.
I dont know what Walmart is but i've Never Needed To Care. How is saying 'I'm not actually interested in every monster energy drink because its the worst brand on the market here' dismissive of American minority groups. I dont really care and its weird to insist that me trying to curate an online experience relevant to me is Xenophobic. idk. block me if its upsetting.? Theres literally millions more people in your country to interact with, and likely a couple thousand young people here who are willing to memorise this shit, but I'm not super interested personally.
'oh no perry hates americans' NO! perry hates having important info about his immediate surroundings squished because he is required by the internet to know about Joe Biden. its just funnier/easier/less frustrating to say 'lol americans are annoying' when this occurs.

I was watching Hello Dolly and it made me start to think of a Maltese Falcon au version of it. That plan fell through after about a second of thought, mostly cause there's just not enough characters in TMF, but I wanted to draw something for it anyways
I'm very pleased with Joels outfit here
