A recent project really highlighted the fact that I need more practice drawing faces. Also, it's been several years since I last did a self portrait. I wanted to experiment with creating a 3 color separation using Krita's screentone brush. I set the layers to multiply to emulate transparent ink.

I'd rather see Netflix take over Warner Bros than Paramount, but honestly, I'd prefer to go back before the Discovery merger. These acquisitions always result in projects getting canned and workers getting fired to cover the cost of the merger.

I haven't put up any Christmas decorations this year. My apartment is still too full of boxes needing to be unpacked to fit a tree in here. But the view of all the city lights from my windows is providing plenty of cheer.

The self balancing mechanism on my Ryobi stick vac broke. I can't see a way to fix it, and Home Depot is on the boycott list for helping ICE, so I can't just buy a replacement part. Maybe I can find a used one on eBay - but that will have to wait until the holidays are over.

The bus driver had to be shouted at twice by riders this morning. Twice he failed to make requested stops. This is not the first time I've encountered this problem with this particular driver.

It's hard to find selfies from 10 years ago. But I found this picture from 11 years ago, so close enough.
I still have that cyan shirt and Nuwisha necklace packed away somewhere.

Occasionally I block accounts for sharing rancid sociopolitical views, but most of the time I'm blocking accounts for sharing AI slop.

I have to wonder if *rump's sudden turn around on Mamdani is because he sees how divided the Dems are on the NY mayor elect.

I like having a news feed on Android's leftmost screen, but I don't want it to be Google's. I've tried to find a way to replace it, but so far all I can find is how to disable it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think clothes dryers are supposed to sound like lawn mowers.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. I consider myself lucky that I've yet to loose any of the trans people who are close to me. Still I listen to the stories from others about those they've lost, and I try to keep their memory alive in my own head. Our thoughts are the only afterlife we're guaranteed.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it).
"If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

I'm a Google Voice user. (Yes, I know, Google is an awful company, but I don't have the spoons to de-tangle my life from them right now.) Apparently they did an update for how they handle sending images via text. It was already kinda clunky, but they somehow made it worse!

That's easy enough. The only time I ever get Starbucks is when I've been given a gift card, anyway. Not a fan of their bitter beans and, more importantly, the way they treat their workers.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
