Decided to look on Poshmark for new sandals since all the trends right now have thick straps and I hate them. Tell me why people are out there actually trying to sell their disgusting foot-stained Birkenstocks for new-shoe prices?? I’m sure this is some gross fetish thing.

Your annual anti-Discourse reminder that the Met Gala is the source of a huge amount of the funding that the Costume Institute at the Met needs to curate and preserve its collection of American textile history

I think if ai slop has taught us anything it's to appreciate our art more. I used to stress myself out if my lines didn't look flawless and perfect everytime but now I just leave the imperfections because I made them. it's not a flaw it's a feature, to err is human, ect.

Sometimes I’ll set my phone up with bird videos for our cat while we’re all lounging on the couch, so she can watch her show too. Tonight she was so interested that she bumped her nose against the screen trying to get to the bird, and it was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. 🥹😭

W/o downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

50 First Dates. I’ve never elected to watch it, it has just always been on TV somewhere and at least 3 times at the nail salon while I’ve been there. I cringe every time.

Updated my LinkedIn today so it wouldn’t just be bare bones “I worked at a place once, vaguely”, and it felt… good?… to reflect on all the things I’ve done and am actually very good at. Take THAT, imposter syndrome!!

truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

What's holding you back in life? 1. lack of ambition 2. lack of wings 3. lack of dark magic 4. unchecked capitalism

I wish they’d still give you a little prize when you go to the dentist as an adult, because the stakes are higher and scarier than when you’re a kid. (I was very brave at today’s appointment, even when they diagnosed ANOTHER loose filling from my shitty previous dentist)

In my hunt for old cosplay photos, I found the cables for an external hard drive I used for art school in 2003-2005, which I had apparently also put my childhood computer backup on, and suddenly I have all of my teenage computer antics and art available again.

Finished Annihilation today as my latest read on the treadmill, and I’m still reeling from the vivid richness of the visual descriptions. It was an incredible book, and I want to design looks based on some of the structures and organisms.

Lobster is too buttery and diamond shoes are too tight moment: I got even more absolute bangers back from a photographer I worked with at ECCC, but I’ve been posting so much Sciel content on Instagram that I’m worried people are getting tired of it. 💀

You never feel more Extremely 40 than when you’re actively looking forward to your new cordless wet/dry floor cleaner arriving this week, thinking about how clean you’re going to get your condo floors. I used to look forward to clothes and shoes coming in the mail. 🫠

John Waters at the No Kings protest in Provincetown.

Saw Project Hail Mary tonight and absolutely LOVED it. I’ve never read the book, but the movie was so wonderful that it’s on my list now.

she's literally funneling the cash from all her various media ventures into a money gun and pointing it directly at whichever institution promises to hurt trans people the most. she's not even lying about it. she's just telling you that's what she's going to do if you give her more money

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

First lower body day back at the gym in a couple of weeks, after getting sick after the convention, and let me just say: what the fuck

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

My son came up with the best term for the DLSS 5 and other weird GenAI non improvement (at least the first time I've heard it): "Sloptimization". It's perfect. No notes.

hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite

Search your camera roll for “hell”

It was a mistake to leave me unsupervised.

Sciel - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 I’m so happy with how my costume turned out. 🥲 It was worth the time and effort on all the details. Photos/edits by @micktography.bsky.social

Lo

There’s nothing like thinking you’re on the mend from the cold you caught at ECCC, and then getting immediately humbled when you break a sweat folding a load of laundry. 💀

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. Rich and fudgy chocolate cake 2. Doing crafts indoors on a rainy day 3. Having a friend send you anything just because they were thinking of you

A fun new development is that I keep getting paralyzing travel anxiety before every trip, with horrible nausea and panic attacks. Even the 1hr flight home to see my family or previously easy road trips aren’t safe. I used to be a really good traveler, so this is crushing.

I’ve been hard at work on my Sciel costume for the past 2 months to debut at Emerald City Comic Con this week. I’m so tired, but it’s the best costume I think I’ve ever made. A few already out-of-date progress shots:

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

I couldn’t go to LA with my husband for a post-layoffs team gathering on account of deadlines, but this little sweetie doesn’t seem to mind that I’m staying home.

Thor: Love and Thunder. It was such a “time-release hate” movie: the more I thought about how stupid it was, the angrier it made me for being such a waste of time and a waste of a very cool Lady Thor costume design.

Happy Lunar New Year to all celebrating. I am personally inspired by the horse because it is powerful, beautiful, and beloved even though it is also VERY nervous

no more 6 foot tall dude silhouettes, "toilet for comparison" is a much more evocative creature scale metric

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

My latest read on the treadmill is “Play Nice” by Jason Schreier, and boy oh boy it’s bringing back a lot of memories (trauma) that reaffirm my decision to leave the game industry.

Last month, I got tired of feeling both physically and mentally shitty, and started going back to the gym regularly. I’ve been using library ebooks to motivate me to put in about 15-20km on the treadmill per week, on top of my weights routine. Since mid-December, I’ve read 7 books!

Friendly reminder that Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO has the same BPM as the intro theme to Evangelion

it is done almost a year later Paper Chrono Trigger is done proper photo session this weekend made from bristol paper, cardstock, sketchbook paper, toilet paper, & matboard (Also bit of clear resin, colored gel, LED strip, & microLEDs)

My scheming vizier when I start to cough after taking a swig of wine from my goblet

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

I’ve been fighting with getting a successful print on my 3D printer and properly fitting a pants pattern to my weird body all day, so I’m glad I managed a win in the form of the most incredible pan of chicken stew and dumplings I’ve ever made. You’ve gotta have at least ONE win to keep you going.
