I know that I can tell Discord to stop sharing my gaming activity now that I am also using it for work stuff but I think clients will see this is a demonstration of my whimsy and dedication to problem solving

I am trying to watch and enjoy Les Mis for the first time in my life but unfortunately I can't delete the fucking SNL Diner Lobster sketch from my brain www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj-D...

Too many of us repeat the statement that trust in science is falling. Is it really the case? The data don’t support this conclusion in a straight forward way. Science may have an influence & comms problem more than a trust problem, in fact… but it’s complex 👇🏻 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@timmehjimmeh.bsky.social and I are increasingly finding that our company's anti-genAI stance is a minority view in the local ad and creative industries, and I had a little yell about it on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/posts/jesswe...

Portfolio motherflipping updated! Well, you know. There are 15 more #design and #illustration projects in the drafts, but it's ready to share. I have added a testimonials page, which is kind of for prospective clients to see but also for me to go read when I feel sad. jessjardimwedepohl.co.za

#gamedev friends, does Godot has its own equivalent of the Blender donut tutorial (i.e. a gold standard beginner project that touches on a few different facets of what the engine can do)?

Is it even a client catch-up if there's no 45-minute yap about art and self-image and not monetising your hobbies 🥰

In the eventual aftermath of this US administration's disastrous and short-sighted actions on basically every front, which have had impacts on every corner of this planet that will take decades to counteract -

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I am watching Victor Frankenstein (2015) for the first time and what (I cannot stress this enough) the fuck

I’m an artist who refuses to engage with it despite enormous pressure I do not post my work online I refuse to outsource thinking I’ve invested too much into my brain to just abrogate the beauty of problem solving to AI It’s nice to know I’m not alone - that there are excellent minds in agreement

Meet the academics refusing to use generative AI Researchers say they have their reasons for avoiding AI tools — and they’re sick of arguing about it. www.nature.com/articles/d41... h/t @maartenp.bsky.social

Busy working on an icon set for a client in the #politicaladvocacy space (excited to share when I can!) and am being reminded all over again how interesting it is to create a visual language in fields where very specific imagery is required.

New illustration, animation and design work for Greenpop, the IUCN and the International Model Forest Network! Did you know that #forestrestoration projects do better when women play a greater role in owning, planning and implementing them? weekendermaking.co/internationa...

🧵 (1/15) Almost a year ago I had a conversation with a great friend about this "someone I love is an arts administrator" t-shirt and I'm still mulling on it.

Think I'm gonna make a zine of all the diabolical ways I've had to hunt down good-enough resolution logos of tiny obscure NPOs when laying out reports for organisations who genuinely are not able to provide me with hi res logos for all their grassroots partners

this is why i don't livestream

Had to verbally deliver some complex and detailed info to about 60 people the other night and let me tell you okes love it when you occasionally mutter "omg I'm killing this" to yourself

I can't believe that this webinar about the blatant unsupported lies that AI companies are telling about the 'positive impacts of AI on climate solutions' is pissing me off

Mild Drama! At The Zoom Webinar Comments

Every time I activate the brush tool in illustrator it defaults to this totally sick and rad barbed wire brush and I feel like this is a bug I should be annoyed about but unfortunately it's very funny

Lord grant me one single week of my life where I don't have to be in a conversation with someone who is trying to convince me Agent Smith style that genAI is inevitable but also so very cool and fun and useful and totally unproblematic

@timmehjimmeh.bsky.social wants to go to war with Benedict Bridgerton

FUCK YOU and FUCK OFF, oh my god. This is why I can't look at job listings for more than five minutes without needing to go outside.

It is some nerd shit to be excited that Google Forms has finally added the functionality to automatically close a form on a certain date and time, but here we are

“Cant sleep… i’ll just have a quick look at my phone”

I love it when people use the adjective "shit-hot" in a job listing because then I know not to click on it 🥰 ALSO where did that come from? I've only ever heard South Africans use it and I want them to STOPPIT

Piggybacking on your post to plug @climatevisuals.bsky.social 🔥

Feel like he’s breaking the 4th wall bc he realized this is kinda f’d up

Having a weirdly emotional admin moment 🥲 Every year @timmehjimmeh.bsky.social and I send out an email to let our clients know when we're back in office, partly just to say howzit but also to let them know if our rates will be increasing and by how much.

The first two hours this morning

I like to think that this is how the Spice Girls intended this song to be performed

This bit of the thread gets its own repost because I can't fucking believe it happened

Come to the UJ Arts Centre on Saturday for the JQC's biannual concert! This is a really special show especially for queer people who have mixed feelings about the festive season. We've worked so hard to put it together and now all that's left is to enjoy it 🥹 qkt.io/DcQNx7

My most boomer opinion is that black cherry yoghurt used to be a standard flavour like strawberry and now the world has moved on to other newfangled flavours and I DON'T LIKE ITTTTTT

Small, extremely noncommittal inktober because there are baby doves in our honeysuckle hedge and they are so small and so very wrinkly and nude and they really don't like it when I go out there and stare at them

Cape Town friends! If you find yourself in the city centre, check in at @thebooklounge.bsky.social! They were kind enough to grab some copies of #REVENANTS, and they look reeeeal good on the shelves! Why not look at some other local graphic novels and books while you're at it?

My favourite hobby is getting home after Tim goes to sleep and then lying on the couch giggling while I send him all the stupidest instagram reels I can find so that he wakes up in the morning to 63 notifications

Look at me singing with my friends 🥹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9_P...

Kick in a few bucks to help my friend Mason get their top surgery if you can!! www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/hel...

I have not had management experience at my day job, but I have been serving as member relations person the choir committee since Feb, which means I am the guy that 70+ people go to with their questions and concerns and disagreements. Let me tell you, the amount of personal growth has been EXPLOSIVE

Nothing makes me feel less invested in a client project than when they clearly used AI to write the brief.
