I'm more complex than my profile suggests, and I would think that you are too.
Some people might be curious.

The post that Karakki replied to went something like, Regency England used slave cotton. Think about modes of production. And karakki went, but some cotton was made in China (which England was also oppressing at the time) so it's not like imperialism. Not to mention Dakka Cotton from India

My city is asking residents what they'd like to improve. And I couldn't resist pulling out my UX and turning it towards city planning. I gave them a note about how my neighborhood has issues around the poor areas not having natural food supply ( public edible trees and plants), but the rich areas do

My adoptive parents🥚 don't respect my name change back to my birth name, but everyone else does. But I have objected to my adoptive name since I first received it... I would always introduce myself with, but I hate my name.

When commissioning #art, one of the best defenses against GenAI is to ask for several comp sketches. Standard in the industry is 3. The faces and details should be consistent. An expression also makes it harder on GenAI. It goes from sketch->color comps-->final. Pay in thirds.

Why do you have to talk about world building in non-European contexts... and because you're Asian, everything you talk about like the Bugis, the people of the South Pacific, Africa and Americas is Asian, Kira of the Wind said. Which BTW, is racist as hell. Finland is not in Asia. #WritingCommunity

The account in support of Neil Gaiman and using GenAI. Hell no. #WritingCommunity

I don't hate conflict as a story driver, but I think without the twin of development to make us care about the characters and events, the plot can feel flat no matter how much you add in conflict and there is such a thing as too much conflict without connection. #WritingCommunity

I want you to remember that GenAI servers are KILLING people with cancer. Particularly Black people. So is an image worth killing people over? Can you call yourself liberal with the view that an image is more important than peoples' lives? Also fastest way to sink your brand. #Art #WritingCommunity

Adults demanding to see kids' faces on social media and not being creeped out by the fact this kids' life is on full display will never not make me angry. WTH. This goes double when it's an adoptee🥚 for clout. I'm sure some of those pedos will be out in full force this month.

Just because someone doesn't like a #classic doesn't mean their #readingcomprehension or media literacy is low. I've met people who have zero comprehension of texts and said they liked the book too. Do we have to pull out Rue every time? #novels

I'm watching #Jdrama, "Then Darling, You Make It." which is the more accurate title (Jaa, Anta ga Tsukutte Miro yo) It's because Anta mean you, informally, but also "darling". And the commentary on what makes a relationship works is a lot deeper than I expected.

I'm having delusions of grandeur, or maybe a fixation, but there's these shoes I really, really want, but don't exist and no one is willing to make them for me for my price point, so I'm thinking I have to make them myself. The #art and #creative's conundrum: Why do I do this to myself?

It's adoption🥚 month and I feel hives around this time of year.

Saw a job listing where they wanted the moon and the stars. (Graphic artist with BA who can do 3D and figma, websites SNS) and then the take home pay AFTER rent would be 1005. after food costs for this place it would be 700. After the average student loan payment: 300. After a car... in the red #art

Maybe the most #ace thing I did was prefer a genealogy chart of the English Kings and Queens of England I bought in London and a painting from Bosch (replica) over pictures of famous people. I also tried to put various pictures of clothing from different regions on the wall.

Minor writing tip: Using alliteration and assonance will make your adjectives and adverbs hit a little harder. Making sounds that don't mix can make the detail feel lighter or ironic.
Smarmy smile hits harder than creepy smile.
Shorter words also hit faster.

I read a good book, but then it was published before social media existed and I kinda miss the deeper plotting and layering the book gave me rather than the social media gimmick chasing. Some authors still do that, but are there more contemporary authors??? #WritingCommunity

A lot of writers when they write clothes, etc who don't sew misunderstand and think the outer layers are the hardest garments to make. No, no, it's really the underwear 90% of the time. #WritingCommunity #Worldbuilding

Someone not reading the instructions on a 100+dollar wooden cutting board🍽️ and then ruining it in 8 seconds is wild to me. No sense that they even thought to properly oil and treat the thing. You're willing to ruin 100+ dollars by not reading the instructions?

Tech billionaires would LOVE for us to stop being creative and stop having critical thinking skills like people reliant on GenAI and LLMs are. Because then, they can have conforming people who accept all conditions put in front of them without unions or asking for worker's rights. #Anti-GenAI

Looking up Hanbok and found this AI generated image. #Anti-AI Let's play: Why is this not a hanbok! (and also why is this image racist by extension?) The website it's from (free pick is notorious for GenAI and this is labeled as GenAI)

I hate foam board. I was forced to use it for an #art project. It can't be recycled. It's bad for the environment. It buckles when painted. It squeaks terribly. And the longevity of it is terrible. I made a fortune cookie board out of foam board and the sun baked it until it started to break down.
