I’ll be honest, the worst things aren’t the rejection mails, the worst things about job applications is just being ghosted indefinitely. What, an automatically generated email is too much work for you?

LinkedIn post, some ai coach lamenting the beauty bias in image generators, showing examples (and they were right, all images were almost comically beautiful). They ask: which image generator portrays authenticity best? - Cameras. Photo cameras are pretty good at that. (Sorry, quick ai glee rant.)

Today I spotted the gaping mouth of an eldritch monster, disguised as a house.

If anyone would like to share, what’s an example of a cool space port for you? I’m looking for visual references. There are the usual suspects, but wondering if some film/ comic buffs can think of something that stood out to you?

Idk, I just randomly felt like joining in. Image in repost shows a deep red latex body suit with a triangular boob window, the revers 3 frilly layers and a bow around the neck. Long blouse style sleeves.

finished another piece for #swordtember day 9, "feline" don't look at me >_>

Next Gamma iteration. Put in a sneaky disability pride flag. Friend wanted them to be a little chubbier, which I’m delighted with.

That time I put my friend’s cat into that meme and it cracked me up for hours. I’m that easy to amuse.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Been shown a line of kids accessories today that are clearly designed for beige parents. “A small beige minimalist design drinking cup for toddlers made of rubber, with two terracotta coloured flowers tastefully placed as decor. That’ll be 30 Euros. Don’t spill anything on the Eames chairs, kid.”

Taking a moment and Someone decided maybe I'm not a threat after all. 🦌 No, I don't encourage interacting. "Friend-shaped don't mean friend-ly."

Happy Birthday!! 😊 And get in on Abi’s sale on Etsy. I stocked up on my stickers (I may have a small sticker addiction…)

A company in Brazil is giving a new way to experience colour for #VisuallyImpaired people thanks to a sensory innovation. This aims to "create an experience that transcended vision, combining #accessibility with the beauty of poetic expression": zurl.co/7Of9x#VisuallyImpaired#accessibility#A11y

Just thought I’d seen the perfect job ad for me, graphic designer for an inclusive tech startup, and then googled the company and saw it was actually a player well-known in the accessibility community for its predatory sales techniques and a product that actually makes a11y worse on a website. 😩

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Offered a friend to do some character illus for an accessibility game she is developing with a game dev. Hero is a non-binary astronaut named “Gamma”. Tried this “silhouette first” approach I’ve seen on here somewhere and must say it’s awesome for coming up with ideas! Which one do you like best?

Just a quick jobseeker recap: - the job market is f***ed - the job agency can’t help you with basically anything because they don’t understand jobs - jobs being eliminated by ai “is no reason to retrain” - messing up the tiniest bit of bureaucracy will get you sanctions Merz: “We need to work more”

I could use some help spreading the word. My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...

Just seen this cool job offer for people in the US on LinkedIn and thought, some chronically ill people might be interested? www.linkedin.com/posts/making...

i am done slightly diminishing bands. we must increase bands. Actually effective substance

I only just recently realised properly that most people don’t react in the same manner as I would when I hit them with animal facts. Like their eyes glaze over or they interrupt or politely nod and change the subject. There was lil‘ ol‘ me thinking everyone would be interested in animal facts! 😲

Sharing a sneak peek on here before I do my next Backerkit update because I am EXCITED to have finished the first of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse pins maybe! 😁🥳 #Pintopia #PinDesign

So, if UI designers could finally remember that dark mode automatically changes all font colours to white, that‘d be great. *squints*

Happy #InternationalCatDay everyone from me and my own furry pal Katz Mikkelsen or Mikkel-Bikkel or Mützel-Bützel or Mübele-Bübele or multiple variations thereupon.

The most powerful argument for me was when a blind colleague said that when he found that due to the strong alt text etiquette on mastodon he was finally able to browse through hours of cat pics and viz content, he almost cried. You think blind people don’t look at your stuff but they do. Let them.

Here's another unhappy horse sketch from last night. :) #sketchbook #illustration

Thank f***ity-f***k!

Oof. You know that feeling when you’re running across a ledge and wonder why you haven’t fallen off yet? Let me slow down a second to appreciate that the local heron is back.

Apparently it’s #WorldEmbroideryDay This is my first ever attempt at embroidery to save a beloved T-shirt of mine (it was permanently stained). I used a template for the first fish but then figured I can just “draw” my own for the rest. So much fun!

So, I’m sending out job applications now. Can anyone send me good vibes please before I’ll spiral into this “no-one-will-ever-hire-me-again”-hole that is calling to me from the sidelines? 😅

Am currently practicing building accessible colour palettes for a UI and it turns out to be quite the intriguing puzzle work. Didn’t expect this to be fun!

Building a portfolio at the moment that I *know* won’t get me hired, yet I have to send it in anyway because at some point in my life I got myself into this stupid situation where I require a friggin’ PORTFOLIO for job applications!!! 🤬

Hello Bluesky. If you like, reply with 1) something nice about your day and/or 2) pet pics.

Might see a Manul tomorrow if I get very very lucky. My strategy is to camp out in front of the enclosure until the dusky hours until the lil’ bugger comes out. I may then look like this:

This made me laugh uncontrollably. Reposting with new alt text for more context.

We transfer est tres utilisé dans la presse pour transmettre des documents et image sous embargo. Je vois pas comment une entreprise sérieuse pourrait continuer à l’utiliser dans ce cadre avec ces conditions Alternatives : Fromsmash, SwissTransfer, Send Visee (self host)

Just as a reminder, matter of seconds.

A thousand times this! Reposted with full alt text.

Building a portfolio is fun when you’ve been working for the same brand for over 12 years. I know I have a lot of experience under my belt, but it doesn’t exactly translate to visual variety. 😅

Hi Bluesky! I just launched my Big Cartel fabric art shop, and I was wondering if you could help spread the word? All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Any sales are colossally appreciated. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Been to a local art museum, saw some absolutely amazing Arabian typography art and design, but also thoroughly enjoyed sitting down and watching those 3 lamps bopping up and down like ghostly jellyfish (or kids from the creature in Nope?).

I want to taste the world

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Etsy shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help. All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make. jeremycreature.etsy.com
