Good morning. My daughter is studying animation & they’ve been asked to write an essay on how Ai directly affects their business. As part of this she wants to add snippets from people in the arts who have been directly affected. Does anyone have any stories to share please?

Asaaand here it is!

I highly recommend these!

My wooden “Jaws” automaton hasn’t found it’s jawsever home (sorry) yet - So I’ve knocked the price way down 🦈 Go grab him here! jameshance.com/collections/...

The light is not great but here’s a bit of progress on the tentacle tray. #art #octopus #pyrography #woodworking

More moves like this required, online (and other) publishing entities.

All currently available pieces.

A great retrospective on Mirror’s Edge. The best of times and the worst of times. Many thanks to Lewis for putting it together.

I’m after a little advice from anyone familiar with being a tourist in South Korea. My daughter has a college trip next month and I’m unsure about money. She’ll have local cash currency but will also need a card. Apparently Wowpass is the best but I’m unsure how it works. So grateful for any help!

We are continuing to crochet hats for the homeless through next week, there’s still time pop a few pounds in if you are able 🙂

If a human was being paid to create this material, we’d rightly throw the book at them. So why should X get a free pass? Fine them to the hilt and if they won’t comply, shut it down. We wouldn’t tolerate this offline. Why online? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 2/2

Six hats now, we’ll make it seven today and then we’ll do a few extras through next week to make it up to ten. I’m so proud of my daughter ♥️

We have made five now, hoping to get two more done and then I’ll make some extras over the next week so we have ten to donate. We are tired and completely sick of the sight of hats now 🤣

My daughter is spending the day crocheting hats for the homeless in exchange for kind donations to help fund her college trip to South Korea. If you have a little to spare she would be so grateful to reach her first target. gofund.me/3f5d834a9

My daughter will spend tomorrow crocheting hats for the homeless in exchange for kind donations to her college trip fund. Please donate if you have a little to spare ♥️

This poem by Gwendolyn Brooks continues to be an anchor on hard days.

Me and my husband, right before he went for a poo that took exactly the time it took me to wash up after Christmas dinner. He said that was pure coincidence….

E-books are reading. Comics are reading. Genre is reading. Fanfic is reading. Text-based games are reading. Audiobooks are reading. Braille books are reading. Non-fiction is reading. Picture books are reading. There is no single way to read, nor is any reading style more worthy than another.

Thank you for sharing and donating, less than a week to go now!

This! Also, leave things around to read, often kids will pick up a book to flick through if it looks interesting just sitting on the coffee table. Me & my kids always recommend books to each other too, always value, & be excited to read, their recommendation & they’ll likely be happy to read yours.

Happy New Year to you all. As always, I am wishing for peace, safety and fairness for all 🥂🎉

My daughter has been selected to benefit from the Turing Scheme in S. Korea attending workshops at top animation studios but the college funding has fallen short so Phoebe wants to help them. She's going to spend a day crocheting hats for the homeless in exchange for sponsors. gofund.me/963ccbb54

I can’t post in time for Christmas now but perhaps you have a weird friend to buy for next year? Here are all my currently available pieces.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild: Slow worm Sparrowhawk Adder Seal Diamond Dove

So incredibly sad to hear about Rob and Michele Reiner, such shocking news 🕯️

Vegetarians! Vegans! Anyone who enjoys cooking! Here's a thread of recipes for the veggie / vegan dishes I cook regularly and which have helped me massively cut down on the amount of meat I eat these days. First, a cheap, easy., quick dal which *everyone* should be able to cook:

Vegans! Vegetarians! Anyone who likes cooking / eating amazing LIFE-CHANGING food! Here is my attempt at writing up a recipe for "daler bora", a treat from my childhood which is a lot easier to make with a food processor than it was for my mum having to grind the lentils using a rolling pin. Enjoy!

Sound up for our friendly Ring-necked Parakeets on our walk this morning. The neighbours are not so enamoured by them but we love them!

Got someone odd to buy for? I can still post in time for Christmas!

It’s that time of year again, where I remember how a mammogram saved my life five years go, and I proceed to hold my breath while I await my scan results. Don’t put off your mammograms, people with breasts: five minutes can make all the difference…

View from my face. Loki.

My clever dad plays the mandolin and banjo but he was frustrated that finding a string winder for a smaller instrument was a trial so he made some himself! Aren’t they beautiful 🤩 I might be able to offer some for sale with an option to personalise with initials. #music #banjo #mandolin #strings
