Bemused at all the people suddenly following me, so uhh.
Hi? Here's some things to know.
I swear a lot. If you're offended by words like wankspangled knobcockle, I'm not for you.
I post many moths & other bugs. I talk/yell about alt text, chronic life, pencils, & paint. I post paint-making a lot…

I'm still vexed by this, especially by how & which words in all caps my screen-reader chooses to read as acronyms.
But just to say.
Please avoid putting all caps in alt text if you can.
Maybe adding 'written shoutily in all caps' after the text would be better than copypasting all caps?

My kingdom for a screen reader that reads posts in all caps in a loud shouty voice.
Instead of arbitrarily deciding that some of the words are acronyms and reading them out letter my letter.
(The longest word it's done this with is 'multiverse' I think.
…My good bleep, that's 10 friggin letters.)

I'm still trying to work out the rules for this thing.
Like why it reads some words in all caps as letters (like an acronym,) and some not.
I have to say, it's ability to swear is improving tho.
It can now pronounce words like crapweasels and cockwomble pretty well!

Oh no. Number 10 has lost another of its anti-trans, morally dessicated, walking pickled scrotums.
How will they survive with only (…checks notes…) all the other friggin reform-lite knobcockles they have left around the place. 😐

Swearing gives me the energy to bother our MPs, councillors, & other authorities without esploding in frustration.
It also annoys the ableist white cisheteropatriarchy when people with tits & opinions swear.

Labour's denial of family reunification, particularly for unaccompanied asylum seeking children, is perhaps one, out of a long list, of the most abhorrent and discriminatory policies which they have laid out in their ever continuing slide to being Reform Lite.

So for week 2, it's quilt/stars for #FebruaryFrost26
The word quilt reminds me of optical illusion quilt patterns that someone I know used to make.
Wondering if I can make a waving squares pattern kinda like this, with stars in the corners: www.reddit.com/r/lego/comme...
Or a scintillating grid…

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Shiny scanned version, with less reflection off the thicker areas of pencil. Took out a few stars here & there too.
This was fun to make something with less detail than my usually finicky-arse drawings, & based on a prompt for something I wouldn't have thought about otherwise! 😁

I've definitely overdone the stars here! 😂 So gonna tweak that a bit.
But this is supposed to be a fun drawing not a super-serious one. So I'm mostly gonna scan it and not be too fussy.

Filled in the halo. Went around the edges of the moths & plant with a white oil pencil first. To try to stop any bleeding from the dark blue. Mostly worked!
Time to add some green to the moths & some colour pencil shading all round. 😁
