I have accidentally been doing a stupid Friday thing on the bad place for a good number of years & today is probably gonna be my last one on there for obvious reasons.

Wasn't actually planning on restarting here but feels weird to just stop. So without further ado:

Heading into the weekend like

twitter screenshot of post by ken draw can draw in feb 2022 - Me watching some high fantasy shit: I would simply not be corrupted by the magical object. If it is actively harming you why don’t you just put it down. Idiot. Me receiving psychic damage 23 hours a day from my phone: ough ouwa oaygh guwah.

Just wanted to share that I'm still looking for work, nearly 10 months after being laid off from PlayStation. I've applied to over 100 different positions and gone through months of technical interviews with nothing to show.

If you know any companies that need a design engineer please reach out.

How the hell am I going to explain this thing to people who think this account is staunchly against AI?
The French battleship Saint-Louis - and I swear this was a genuine ship and not some sort of accident caused by an excess of LSD in the iron foundry - seen at anchor. It's an incredible collection of cranes, funnels, masts, fighting tops, guns, small boats dangling off the side like baubles, and all the classic lines of French ships of the time. And - significantly - nobody else's. For reasons best known to the designers a it appears to have had a veranda added to its arse. An unkind critic would note that no intelligence, artificial or otherwise, was misapplied to the creation of this image. An even unkinder one would note that it was.

Subnautica was released 8 years ago today.
And it's a fascinating survival/mystery sci-fi game, which I continue to warmly recommend.

And now I have articles on the creation of the ships and submarines ☝️

This week’s @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange theme is Motherhood; we’ve chosen Motherhood by Laura Knight. The painting shows a quiet, intimate moment between mother and child.

HELP REQUEST: Would anyone who speaks Spanish and English be up for sense-checking some subtitles on a short film (<15 minutes) please? I have no budget, I'm afraid - it's a short LGBTQ+ film in English, and it's been accepted into a festival in Spain.

I went to a local gallery to showcase my photography and they really likes my work but wouldn't entertain me because I don't (no longer have) have an Instagram account to show how many followers I have. How sad that creativity is based on a follow count and not the actual work

If you're not making enough episodes to make this, you're not making Star Trek™
Worf says "I am not a merry man" and he's dressed like a red pimp version of Robin Hood and Data is is a friar and Geordi plays a lute. This is from a TNG episode when they all beamed down to a Sherwood Forest planet or the holodeck malfunctioned or something, who cares.

Happy to say we've since received a few new, MUCH nicer ratings & reviews (thank you!), but it would still be really helpful to have more!
avivor.com Aviv Or @avivor.com · Dec 6
If you bought #CrystalHeart on a platform with ratings and enjoyed it, could I ask you to take a second to rate it? Or even a couple of minutes to write a 2-sentence review. Our only review on a couple of big websites is 1 star, "down from 2 because of the added romance" 🙄
A bit of a page from Crystal Heart chapter 7, showing Natasha (a pale blonde woman in a purple outfit) walking up to Kitau (a brown woman with long hair, tied to a pole with colourful fabric). Panel 1 Natasha, gesturing at Kitau's binding: At least I'm still alive. What is... this? Kitau: I am bound by my own clothes. Release me! N: Oh no, I'm not putting myself between whatever THING you and Muna are doing. Panel 2 K, surprised: Such nonsense. Release me! N: Oh! So it's Fabiola, is it? Panel 3 K, flustered: No--!... Wait, you heard about that? N: There's a rumor going around. [small] (Someone probably has the BIG MOUTH hindrance.) Panel 4 Zoomed out, showing some smoking rubble around them. K, yelling: I'm not with Fab--NEVERMIND ALL OF THAT, we are UNDER ATTACK! N: Ah. I assumed I woke up AFTER everything was done. Panel 5 Side view close up on the two of them. N: At least, I HOPED so. K: Reach into my binding and search around for my weapon! N: Now you are TRYING to get me into trouble.

Alt text version (used the automated thing on my phone, did not check for accuracy, sorry):
I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher. In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she'd try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here: "So here's the thing...I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you're doing interesting things with them. "My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don't hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it." Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn't limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed. Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don't limit yourself based on other ppl's tastes. They're not you, and you are incredible

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
