“Slow, careful work. Bit by bit until the world’s made new.”

Aerial photo of a huge compound in Texas, five or six long metal buildings hold bitcoin mining equipment.
Comic panel showing two tiny characters- a green-cowled hero and boy - standing on a featureless surface, looking up at a purple figure carrying an unidentifiable piece of technology overhead. Voiceover boxes read: "They'd shrunk to *quark* size, crisscrossing and weaving through spacetime to build a whole *universe* from the ground up. They're everywhere and everywhen simultaneously. We're *made* of them!" "But it was too much, he told me: the shock of it. They went into some kind of fucking quantum *coma*, right?"
Garak from DS9 with the caption "weird hill to die on but at least you're dead"
Dr Doom and Owen Reece, the Molecule Man, are standing in a bizarre cosmic landscape, a pale blue grid stretches into the distance. The horizon is a jagged pink pattern of lightning like a mountain range. Bolts of energy outlined in pink race along the grid. Flat rings rise from the ground and arc back into it like white rainbows. Pink mounds of sizzling energy litter the ground. Beneath the pair, the grid drops into a deep hole, from which a gigantic yellow and green eye stares, and purple and pink bubbles rise. The Molecule Man looks around in surprise while Doom presents this abstract vista to him: Dr Doom: BEHOLD--! THE FOUNDATIONS OF ETERNITY-- THE INTERTWINING OF ENERGIES WHICH IS THE BASIS OF ALL THAT IS! Molecule Man: HUH? Dr Doom: ALL THINGS, NOW, ARE KNOWN UNTO DOOM... AND THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE HAVE BEEN LAID BARE TO ME! I GIVE YOU THIS AS A GIFT-- THIS INSIGHT INTO THE INTRICATE SIMPLICITY OF EXISTENCE! INSIDE YOU IS GREAT POWER! KNOW YOU THIS-- OF ALL THE GREAT AND MIGHTY IN THE UNIVERSE, YOU ARE THE MIGHTIEST-- SAVE FOR DOOM!
A dreary 1980s dole queue in Britain or Ireland, men wait listlessly with their hands in their pockets.
Chick Tract showing biblical people yelling 'shut up' at the silhouette of Jesus on the foreground. Caption "Most people rejected His message." "They hated Jesus because He told them the truth." "Gal. 4:16"
Old government UB40 Unemployment Benefit Attendance Card printed on yellow paper. Has boilerplate notes for claiming benefits and fields for name, NI number, CODOT, post office and days of the week.
Diagram of the prisoner's dilemma. Party A is the left-wing voter with the cooperate option of "vote for B" or to defect "stay home/vote third party." Party B is the Democratic/Labour candidate, with the cooperate option of "Offers positive platform, respects human rights, rejects bigotry, austerity, and genocide" and the defect option of "Offers ‘Lesser evil’ -platform genocide, erosion of liberties, anti trans, migrant & disabled, but still technically better than right candidate." The results are: A cooperate, B cooperate: Left candidate elected on progressive platform. A cooperate, B defect: ‘Lesser evil’ elected, supports genocide. Service cuts & erosion of rights for the most vulnerable.AND Right-wing candidate comes back next time with more extreme platform. AND ‘Lesser evil’ moves right to match. A defect, B cooperate or defect: Right-wing candidate wins, enacts full platform. A note at the bottom reads: In a single contest, the right move is to vote for the lesser evil, reducing harm in the short term, because there is no long term. In a real election it is the worst move possible. (This assumes enough progressive votes to matter. If they don’t matter, there’s no point in yelling at them for not endorsing the lesser evil.)
That garish clock from Homestuck that tells you if a death was deserved or noble, pointing to the purple side and reading 'JUST'.
That garish clock from Homestuck that determines whether a death was 'heroic' or 'just'. The dial is pointing to the golden 'heroic' half.
BBC news photo of Burnham and Starmer looking identical, except one has darker hair and pinker complexion.
Noel Household from Swanboy, an anthropomorphic lizard, shouting angrily.
John Blanche's painting _Amazonia Gothique_. A dying sun rises or sets, filling half of a red sky behind the figure of a female chaos warrior. She has an axe and green plate armour, giving way to studded leather on oen leg. Her shield is an indescribable shape looking like a scowling hook-nosed fanged face in profile, inlaid with a profusion of serpents. She has black horns on her shoulders, one bigger than the other. Around her thigh is a white scarf, and at her throat is a cute little polka-dot bow. She has an absolutely insane pair of heels on, one part of her armour, one ornately decorated, I think it has a little mouth with fangs too? The stilettos are like 20 inches tall or something and the toes have hooves. Her hair is a MASSIVE like orb sticking out in all directions in a punk 80s style, it's probably a yard in diameter. It hides half of her face. She wears black or dark green lipstick and a little black heart on her cheek. Writing alt text for this image is like trying to swallow the sea.
A white plate with blue leaf-and-fruit decorations, with a vegan steak served on a smear of carrot purée with shallot jus, as well as fondant potatoes and kale to each side.
Meme of a robot with a scowling red cylon style eye hammering a sign into the ground reading "no fun allowed"
A black d20 on a wooden table. Its digits have been filled in with crayon, like the the dice from vintage D&D sets. The digits are different colours - high numbers are red, medium orange, low yellow. The 20 is hot pink. Nearby rest cyan, pink and yellow crayons.
A figure sits pensively in a small wooden chair on a dark stage, facing away from the audience. He is silhouetted by a single bright spotlight, revealing the distinctive shape of Buster Keaton's signature felt pork pie hat. Barely visible figures surround him in the darkness, discernible only by their white faces and shirts, arms folded with chins resting on one hand, as though weighing him up.
A black cat stands on the roof of a car in a street of brick houses. The cat is moving forward to nose the camera, so it's face from the eyes down and whiskers dominate the frame and are the only thing in focus.
Photograph of a small theatre stage lit by fuschia lighting that washes out much of the detail. A painted backdrop shows greek columns and a statue of Demeter and Persephone standing back to back. A player depicting Iacchus teases the audience, who stand before the stage. The division between audience and players is unclear, with many in costume, wearing crowns or horns. The Heirophant sits watching them on the edge of the stage, wearing a purple cloak and a crown of leaves.
A wooden statuette of a frog, with a blank expression, a lovable lumpy shape, pale wood grain skin, and dark green painted eyes.
Cover of Steve Jackson's Sorcery Book 2: Khare. Depicts a horrible monster rising from muck, with mouths on its fingers and hollow fleshy horns on its head exuding some sort of steam or gas.
Man with bright red hair and vaguely smug expression wearing a garish Ed Hardy jacket, standing in a marquee tent in the summer in front of a large gaming table where more tastefully dressed people are playing a post-apocalyptic game of 40k. One leans over the table to position a tank. Another has turned his head, and while I'm sure he simply saw the camera move and glanced over to see what it was without any ill will in his heart, for comedy reasons we shall assume he's regarding the first figure with disdain.
Close up of seven small pebbles of various sizes, placed in a roughly triangular formation on top of a brick wall.
Four Red Hack booklets arranged in a grid. Their titles are - 1: Making a Character, 2: Dungeons & Combat, 5: Wizard Spells, and 6: Cleric Spells.
"Stop Reform UK" flyer in pink and white, with the text "5 reasons to vote against farage" and a photo of Farage and Trump getting chummy.
An a4 sheet of paper. On the left hand side is a book cover design: 'The Red Hack: Making a Character' with an old black and white line illustration by Walter Crane of a female knight thrusting a sword into a swirling portal. On the right, a CMYK test page showing the different colours in overlapping patterns.
