Yooo. I haven't been much around lately, and if I have, it's just to bookmark stuff to look later to boost or quickly boosting stuff. I think having to force myself offline from Jan to May, due to new caregiver duties, ended up making me "detox" by accident. I mean, I want to be here a little […]

A new newsletter fresh off the press: open.substack.com/pub/velvetra...

It infuriates me that I had to do this. Velvet Rasputin LLC became what I wanted it to be: an alternative ed avenue to teach queer folks about threats against them, and to educate the public about systems of oppression. Sadly, the comics that started it all need to be rebranded to protect it. UGH! 😣

I think every native English speaker who gets to do academia in easy mode should have to write at least one paper in a foreign language they don’t know so that they can have a little empathy when reviewing papers written in ESL #editing #academia

—one can make to help make the clauses of a sentence of dialogue easier to parse (especially where one chooses to break a line). Nerd-stuff aside, you can get really fun and evocative with SFX in a way I think doesn't excite some folks as much as it COULD 🥺

Lettering, *in the webcomics space* ***sometimes***. I feel like… (it depends, and a lot of web cartoonists are always stacking hats) lettering can just be like "ok words in the text-box GO!" for some people. Maybe it's my graphic design background, but even with dialogue there are nuances— ++

MALTA INDIA IS REAL IN MY AREA ONCE MORE, BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES

Once in a while I go on a self boost spam to remind ppl I used to draw LOL (or that I have things) One day I'll post something new...

Doesn't look like I posted this one up--an old sketch commission* (and by old, I mean from 2022, according to my records) (who even remembers that year) of one of my favorite Macross characters, Exsedol Folmo :blobheart: I have other drawings with him. oddly […] [Original post on blorbo.social]

I print and cut a bunch of new business card designs at home. There's not much difference between me printing on cardstock, and the standard uncoated business cards I've ordered. (I need them uncoated so I can write on the back 😼) Also seen: business cards […] [Original post on blorbo.social]

The Thirty Years' #war was the most devastating war ever to be fought on Germany's soil, and this is reflected in German folk tales. If I continue with my translation, I hope to write a book on this subject - showing how Germans used the war as a canvas for their storytelling. My favorite of […]

Hi! Looking for #Blender resources. I need to take a prepared 2D drawing, create a 3D environment for it, and project the drawing onto the environment with minimal distortion and so on. I am trying to create an explorable 3D environment that retains the hand-drawn look. Does anyone have some […]

It's my birthdayyy. All I got is posting this very, very old piece for my comic Ara & Celi, which is still one of my favorites. Ara in her non-angel form, Miyara and Kimberly, the horse. Wait, pony. Wait, what? I only wish I had been faster so I could have […] [Original post on sakurajima.moe]

LRT: I keep forgetting that ppl are starting to consider em dashes a sign of AI writing and it's soooo funny because I use them a lot. Plus, they're a huge thing in comics and design, ofc. But a few years ago, someone thought I didn't know English because I used words "wrongly" (no, it's that […]

Accusations of AI use are flying around — often based on nothing more than vibes. But there’s (almost) no shortcut to knowing for sure in any one case. And em dashes? They’re not the enemy. They’re glorious. Check out the whole show for all the details: Watch: https://youtu.be/zM0QAxF5P1k […]

OMG, em dashes are not a sign of AI writing! I kept hoping this myth would burn itself out, but no — the idea that em dashes are a sign of AI writing just keeps spreading. I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I crashed a segment in to the latest Grammar Girl […] [Original post on zirk.us]

Hmmm looks like bridgy once again is borking. Not only am I now missing replies from bsky bridged ppl, but a bunch of my posts aren't making it over there, especially if they're a thread. Self RTs seem to be equally borked, doesn't seem to process them the older a post is. (Any post made after I […]
