So that’s my muse being baited and it’s not even 9AM.

Hrm.

OK so there isn’t a white PVC there. Guess Asuka is on the cards instead?

Might need to look into these if I expand my Star Guardian plans beyond Lulu.

Hey y'all! I know I'm a bit late on this trend, but I just HAD to stick my favorite girls in this situation! And I mean honestly is anyone gonna complain about more zero suit cosplays?

Anyway, back at work on my Star Guardian Lulu remake. Working on painting up the boots and printing the staff again, only this time with some setting tweaks and a bigger build volume so less cutting parts in half.

Realising I’m not looking forward to doing battle with lace front wigs though.

Trying to find projects to help me fall back in love with cosplay stuff again.

The problem is finding stuff that won’t make me feel like a creep or push my body image buttons too hard. And yet even with that in mind these ideas won’t get out of my head despite failing one or both of those tests.

So yeah I may have gotten myself into some bad project ideas.

I have a visceral reaction to seeing HP shit out in the wild. It's like wearing a big flashing badge saying "I'm not your friend and will throw you under the bus for my own entertainment". I don't care if its a special interest or a deep comfort to you, keep it at home like the shame it is

People defending wearing harry potter merch or still engaging with that franchise whole having pronouns in their bio are such a perfect example of performative "allyship" but cant do the most below the bare minimum act of solidarity. If I see you in that merch I think you want me dead 1/2

Oh so that’s how much weight I’ve put on over the last three years.

Yes I’m depressed now.

Duolingo CEO literally saying they'll be moving fast and breaking things.

Duolingo no longer bad. Duolingo horrible don't touch it's toxic stay away omg wtf
I've said this in Q&As amd many meetings, but I want to make it official: Duolingo is going to be AI-first. AI is already changing how work gets done. It's not a question of if or when. It's happening now. When there's a shift this big, the worst thing you can do is wait. In 2012, we bet on mobile. While others were focused on mobile companion apps for websites, we decided to build mobile-first because we saw it was the future. That decision helped us win the 2013 iPhone App of the Year and unlocked the organic word-of-mouth growth that followed. Betting on mobile made all the difference. We're making a similar call now, and this time the platform shift is AI. AI isn't just a productivity boost. It helps us get closer to our mission. To teach well, we need to create a massive amount of content, and doing that manually doesn't scale. One of the best decisions we made recently was a slow, manual content creation process with one powered by AI. Without AI, it would take us decades to scale our content to more learners. We owe it to our learners to get them this content ASAP. It also helps us build features like Video Call that were impossible to build before. For the first time ever, teaching as well as the best human tutors is within our reach. Alt text continued in second image. Same image, continued alt text. Being AI-first means we will need to rethink much of how we work. Making minor tweaks to systems designed for humans won't get us there. In many cases, we'll need to atart from scratch. We're not going to rebuild everything overnight, and some things—like getting AI to understand our codebase—will take time. However, we can't wait until the technology is 100% perfect. We'd rather move with urgency and take occasional small hits on quality than move slowly and miss the moment. We'll be rolling out a few constructive constraints to help guide this shift: - We'll gradually stop using contractors to do work that AI can handle. - AI will be part of what we look for in hiring. - AI use will be part of what we evaluate in performance reviews. - Headcount will only be given if a team cannot automate more of their work. - Most functions will have specific initiatives to fundamentally change how they work. All of this said, Duolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees. This isn't about replacing Duos with AI. It's about removing bottlenecks so we can do more with the outstanding Duos we already have. We want you to focus on creative work and real problems, not repetitive tasks. We're going to support you with more training, mentorship, and tooling for AI in your function. Change can be scary, but I'm confident this will be a great step for Duolingo. It will help us better deliver on our mission — and for Duos, it means staying ahead of the curve in using this technology to get things done. -Luis

The greatest terror you can experience is to accidentally click on the voice channel of a big discord server and have to bail as fast as possible to avoid any chance that you wanna talk to another human lmao

Boosting this.

Sadly I don’t think my audio setup is good enough and my vocal dysphoria is still off the charts so probably won’t audition myself.
