I wanted to try out a different design with the wings coming out of the back instead of hanging under the arms. And well, we have another redesign for my second sona. Yaaay.
EDIT: I fixed some issues with the lighting

Nonprofit seeks criminal charges against Trump, Vance over Haitian immigrant rhetoric

A nonprofit organization advocating for Haitian migrants is looking to file criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
Treatment of Imane #Khelif and #Raygun tells a broader story of the dangers of #socialmedia.
Two incidents — both involving women competing in the #Olympics — provide the latest grim proof of the often #toxic, #menacing and #deranged nature of social media.
One was the treatment of #Australian Rachael "Raygun" Gunn, who literally broke not just dance moves, but also social media when she became the target of hateful comments from internet trolls after her viral performance during the sport's Olympic debut.
The other, Olympic champion boxer Imane Khelif, was the subject of a worldwide gender eligibility debate and was publicly trolled with vile and inaccurate bigotry across social platforms.
Now #JKRowling and Elon #Musk have been named in a #cyberbullying lawsuit filed in #France by the #Algerian boxer. On Wednesday, her attorney Nabil Boudi, said they had filed a #criminal complaint over alleged "acts of cyber-harassment" to the Paris public prosecutor's office. The gold medallist said of her lawsuit: "All that is being said about me on social media is #immoral. I want to change the minds of people around the world."
Both these women — experts in their fields whether you like them or not — are adults, and therefore you'd hope they'd be more able to deal with the viciousness which has become public discourse, particularly online. But the fact that Raygun had to make a public appeal to be left alone, and Khelif is fighting back through the courts shows that we really are entering a new phase of the social media wars.
This is not to excuse the role of legacy media in this — that would be a mistake. The bullying of them both wasn't isolated to the online world. But it is without a doubt social media where the conspiracies and misinformation about both women grew, festered, and caused acute harm.

Just got back from a week in Iceland, which was full of breathtaking and unique sites. This particular image was captured during a zodiac tour on Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon on the southeast coast of the island. Chunks of the glacier break off and either melt in the lagoon or make their way out to sea via a river. So cool (literally)!

#BBC #presenter sent #abusive and #menacing messages to second young person
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66165766
'the young person - who has no connection to the person at the centre of the Sun's story about payments for photos - said they had been scared by the power the presenter held.
They said the threats made in the messages had frightened them - and they remain scared.
The new allegations of menacing and bullying behaviour by the high-profile presenter raise fresh questions about his conduct.'
