As someone with an art degree, I generally agree that it's a scam in terms of how expensive it is- however it seems a lot of people have taken "don't go to art school" as "never take a drawing class ever" and then are surprised when they discover basic perspective or color theory

Stop giving those people mental health diagnoses when they're just opportunists and scammers

youtube keeps trying to autoplay this video for me, no matter what i watch

It’s really frightening.

I just learned today that some people manage to read tons of books a year because they only read the dialogue and skip the descriptions at that point just read a screenplay or a theatre script??? You don't have to cut out 60% of a novel

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

this man had spent the last six years operating a sustainable farm. his mission was to seek liberation through food. his own words and imagery to describe himself, his mission and advocacy remain here. an epitath of who he was, and could have been he was just kind. he was just a kind man.

A thank you note/love letter/commentary on art for anyone interested

People always act like you gotta be all "Well I'm not Christian, but Jesus was a cool dude," but it's OK to not like Jesus. If you don't want anything to do with Christianity, there doesn't have to be a "but-". It's OK to dislike him, too.

I made a frutiger aero soft soap themed xenomorph...

To my UK friends: Get some drinks in the fridge now. Water, preferrably. Put one in the freezer too. Get some icepacks in there if you can. Tomorrow is going to suck. But you can at least stay hydrated and cool.

Everytime I read 'A human artist would not make this mistake' somewhere online, I, a human artist, start to sweat nervously.

During the immigration raids in Minneapolis, Robert Rice (White Earth Ojibwe), the owner of Pow Wow Grounds, gave away thousands of pieces of hot fry bread to protestors and activists, keeping demonstrators warm and fed at a time of upheaval.

anyway

I fixed the incorrect use of > in the image! Please refer to this one instead.

Still got this bad boy available 🫡

Yeah so I personally understand why multiple magic traditions say that it's not a good idea to make multiple mirrors face each other for a ritual now. I will not be taking questions at this time except from friends who have me on Discord or smth.

What's a popular movie or show where you sit there and it's literally like "nothing ever happens"? It could be a case of a slow burn with horrible payoff or a movie where there's literally no stakes and nothing makes sense

Benzos. I know ppl often say that in a negative way, but actually changed my life for the better. They're amazing when used responsibly and when you have a GABA deficiency + nerve damage Other answers I would have to this might be depressing but I would post more fun facts about me if ppl asked

OK ya'll, we have it: Body cam footage of the Texas Cybertruck driver who intentionally drove the vehicle into a lake to test the Tesla's "wade mode" feature. It got stuck. He got arrested. “Obviously I wasn’t thinking at all." Read now: www.404media.co/heres-the-bo...

I have raised thousands of fucking dollars for marginalized people on this website this year alone while having to deal with deranged takes on my life from spoiled adults the entire time. Now my partner and primary caretaker needs his tooth pulled. I'm forcing him to accept help from me.

Hi

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

Creatives don't owe you shit. They fundamentally do not owe you shit. They made something. You saw it. There was never any responsibility involved. They don't owe you a "better version" of the work. They don't owe you "less problematic writing". They don't owe you more episodes. You deserve nothing.

imo the "no tracing" rule is the direct end result of people solely valuing 100% original thoughts/ideas instead of recognizing that everything is a remix, whether you realize it or not.

WIP they upped my gabapentin

Did you know I used to be a kid gymnast. I have a bunch of medals that I keep with my golf trophies because I hate them.

Things seem bleak. That’s because they are. Go find you a flower refusing to die. One of those little ones that comes up between concrete slabs because fuck this, the sun is up there. Then point out that flower to yourself every time you think you can’t keep at whatever it is that weighing on you.

i say burgies sometimes bc of this

If you are a trans person under the age of eighteen being abused by transphobic parents, you should be supported in putting as much distance between yourself & your parents as possible the moment you have legal rights. It's also okay if you leaving means that your parents end up homeless or dead.

Stuff like the situation with TADC/Goose is why I'm extremely hesitant to actually write my comic/books and put them out in public. I already know from personal experience that rabid fans are annoying and suck the life out of you & make you hate your art. I can't imagine being more popular.

personally I think anyone should be able to change their name for any reason ever and society should just adapt for that. you will not change my mind

one of the things i appreciate about inscryption is the lack of delay in controls. some other card games I play have their animations be too long, or there's a buffer in between clicks- if you already know what you wanna do and you're trying to click quickly just to get it over with, it's tedious

so. I tried macarons today. i didn't know macarons had almond flour. I'm only mildly allergic (not going to die or anything) and my food allergies always appear several hours after I consume the food but I am in hell. i did this to myself.

axolotl gossiping

I've fallen into the same trap of thinking big artists are these unapproachable people, but it turns out yeah, this is it. Artists are like the most accessible people if you just act normal and don't have hidden motivations, and we will all want to make you into soup

Unironically one of the most important game dev texts of the era

TADC is one of those stories where I think that no matter what, you can't really get a "satisfying" ending out of it since that's kinda not the point. I'm just curious about what path they're going down now.

Ok fine I'll watch some Magus Archives
