NOW WITH BUG FIX!
With the votes in and the thinking done, I am now rolling out my narrative online as a way to push towards finishing the visuals and doing the ’art’ book.
The Silent’s universe is huge, strange and I hope interesting for those that like #SciFi narrative and images.

Baby Shadi being an absolute trash mammal! Isn't she just disgusting? :D
When Shadi was a child, both her and her mother were slaves. After her mother was sold by their owner, Shadi ran away and started roaming the lands searching for her mom.
She was forced to grow up in the streets, learning to steal, beg and run fast, and thus became the gremlin she is today!

Will #ClimateBill lead to more #mining in #Virginia?
Four of the five 'critical minerals' for electric vehicle #EV batteries have been mined in the state in the past. Will their economics now change?
by Dwayne Yancey August 18, 2022
"The key to electric vehicle #batteries are five so-called 'critical minerals' – #lithium, #nickel, #cobalt, #manganese and #graphite. Four of these five minerals have been mined in Virginia in the past; the fifth (lithium) is suspected in Virginia but has yet to be proven. Will increased demand for these minerals make these deposits economically viable again?
"To some extent, this is unknowable because we don’t know what that demand – and those future prices – will be. In theory, if a single fleck of something is worth a billion dollars, then some company could spend a half billion to dig it out and still make a fortune. We also don’t know whether mining for these minerals will be allowed in Virginia. There’s a large deposit of #uranium in Virginia that’s never been mined and probably won’t be.
"In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court #SCOTUS upheld Virginia’s moratorium on #UraniumMining. There’s a #gold vein in Virginia, too, that’s been mined in the past. There’s also a state study underway over whether to allow or ban gold mining in the future. Even just the potential of gold mining has stirred controversy in Buckingham County. All the minerals we’ll deal with today occur outside the traditional coal-mining country of Southwest Virginia, so who knows what the state or local reaction will be if and when someone proposes to open a mine somewhere else?
"So let’s look at what we do know.
"Electric vehicles may be #EnvironmentallyFriendly in the sense that they’re not spewing #carbon into the atmosphere, but they do require six times more #minerals than conventional vehicles, according to the International Energy Administration – so a lot more #mining will be needed to support electric vehicles than the ones we have now. Mining is generally not considered an environmentally friendly thing to do so here’s a classic trade-off: A green-friendly climate bill is actually going to promote more mining somewhere, if not in the #UnitedStates then somewhere on the planet."

More playing with page layouts. I want the visuals to tell a story and have a sense of motion without being panels, while still reflecting the written narrative. Having the option to swap out a sketch/element for #3D or coloured work needs to be an option too.

#Graphite theme for @kde is a fun twist on simplicity. Bigger paddings on windows make it hard to misclick and easy to resize the window I want. Colors of #GraphiteNord are soothing and there is #Gtk support.
I can't use Graphite cursors on #KDE #Plasma, as half of them have incorrect format for some reason, whether I install them from #FreeDesktop or build manually. But cursors are just a complementary add-on that I would like to install, ideally, once the fix arrives. They look clean, though!

Creativity is a moody beast but sometimes a good workout is what it needs to sort itself out. A page of drive designs and the beginnings of components that make them up. I have been doodling these ideas for at least a year and am now thinking about how they'd go together in #3D.

Here's how #mineral supply chains for #EVbatteries are being ramped up
The top five #minerals for #lithiumion batteries are #lithium, #nickel, #cobalt, #manganese, and #graphite.
There currently aren’t enough operational #mines for these critical minerals for a robust #EV battery #supplychain. We also need to expand critical mineral processing and #recycling capacity. We also need to diversify our critical minerals sources. #China currently dominates the supply chain

Another day, another potential problem for #electricvehicles - one of the key components for #batteries is #graphite... and #China, which dominate the production & processing of both natural & synthetic graphite has just imposed export controls on its sale...
for the moment manufactures will likely be able to draw down stockpiles, but once the control(s) hit supply, much will be revealed about how the Chinese state wants to shape/control the global market for e-vehicles...

China announced on Friday that it will require export permits for certain graphite products to protect national security, its latest move to curb shipments of minerals that are critical to the energy transition.
Graphite, a soft form of carbon, is a key component of batteries for electric vehicles and China is the world's top producer, accounting for two-thirds of global supply.

Hello! This is my first post and I'm told it's customary to write an #introduction:
My name is Donna and I've been working as an #artist (in one form or another) for 25+ years. My true loves are "traditional" mediums ( #graphite, #watercolor, #acrylic, etc.), but I've also worked in #DigitalArt and #GraphicDesign.
#Pet and #wildlife #portraits have been my focus recently.
Looking forward to meeting people here and sharing my #art!
