This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.
And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

There's elections tomorrow and we'll likely get a far-right fascist president and I just want to cry, crawl into a fucking cave and sleep for the next four years.

Thinking about today and cons also made me realize why I never really had that "you're too old for fandom" mentality. I've been going to cons since I was... 15? My dad used to take me when I was a minor then started going by myself or with friends. I've ALWAYS seen adults in fandom spaces.

I had a cute little interaction with a teenager and fellow nerd while waiting for my coffee order today. She apparently clocked that I had an Arcane lockscreen and we ended up yapping a bit about our favorite characters and songs and then went on our merry way🌿

I don't remember how we came to the topic of dates bringing flowers as a presents but apparently my coworkers think I'm a bit weird for prefering to get Lego flowers or a Flower/bouquet puzzle or something akin to that, instead of *actual* flowers.

INTENSE weekend. I got to see Aurora and Massive Attack (and many others) at a music festival, which was mindblowingly incredible! But then crashed with a huge headache and body-aches and slept for 17+ hours straight. Overall, worth it! I'm exhausted tho.

exceptionally mesmerizing.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

I just found out that Frankenstein will, in fact, NOT be arriving to theaters in Chile. I'll have to wait for the netflix release... I'm sad.

Destroying the lives of pornographers while freely allowing ChatGPT to create adult content isn't hypocrisy--it's intentional malice. Companies want to be the sole purveyors in our ancient trillion-dollar industry that is porn, but they can only do that by outlawing anyone make it besides themselves

This week has brought gifts♡ One from my past-self, one from a lovely friend. I had entirely forgotten I had preordered Anthony Delaney's book so that was a treat. This beautiful keffiyeh was a gift from a coworker. She knew I've wanted one since I was a teen (& also knew black is my comfort color🙈)

It's official, my one and only kidney is NOT compromised! After a week of pain, anxiety, uncertainty, doctors, labs and scans... I can finally breathe. It could've been much worse, dodged a bullet. Take care of you kidneys, kids.
(It's so weird to get to see your skeleton btw.)

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

I started an honor run............................. I'm kinda scared. But LET'S GO. This is Alaric, my little monk Theo's older brother. He's a big buff paladin and I don't have a clear path for him other than survive this fucking thing. #BG3

PLEASE PLEASE, no more tightlacing on bare skin on period dramas I beg youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. At this point it just pulls me out of the story completely and makes me want to gauge my eyes out. STOP IT. (Call me a snob whatever, I'm just so damn tired *sobs in fashion history*)
