the good that you do persists in this world

The thing they never tell you when you're entering the working world is that your manager makes or breaks your job. It doesn't matter how good or bad the job itself is: if you don't have the right kind of manager supporting you, you'll wind up miserable. That makes job-hunting hard, too.

This is Pancho. He’s mad because he asked for five more minutes and then you woke him up five minutes later. Unforgivable. 12/10 (IG: panchothediva)

この文字をニュッて出すやつが旧aviutlとaviutl2でどうも同じように作れなくて頭抱える。

Reminder that not only do library systems have physical media (& many also lend tools, electronics etc), your library card may give you access to streamers Kanopy and Hoopla. We just watched Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of The Rainmaker via a hoopla the other night. Pretty good!

This is our new CEO, Javier. I have officially adopted him. He is estimated to be 8 years old and he's deaf, so there's no need to give any feedback on his job performance. He is just a perfect gentlemen and I am so grateful he made his way to me. 14/10 no bias at all

online friendship is crazy. like yeah we go way back. we talk about weird shit exclusively and we've seen each other in person between zero and four times

Read the manga before the anime premieres! A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation volumes 1 - 10 are available now ✨

i have made the mistake of returning to my pile of unread books, and now i'm tired and grumpy because i have to stop reading and go to bed and then work again tomorrow UGH and who built bodies with these stupid off switches anyway

This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)

what do you MEAN I'm supposed to do work now, isn't everyone off until the new year

the reality is that #strangerthings just got dragged out for wayyyyyyy too long Even without the absurdity of having guys in their mid-20s trying to pedal children's bikes like we're not supposed to notice they grew up A Lot, so much of the emotional impact is just kinda gone now

If you see this post an anime you love

This is Bolt. He just learned how to speak. Thinks it works best when he uses his whole body. 12/10 (TT: gavi_570)

they should really give everyone the whole week of thanksgiving off, it’s not like any work gets done mon-wed with half of every office out anyway

The iconic enemies-to-lovers BL novel just got physical~ 😏 Flip through 378 pages of pure chaos and chemistry, with new illustrations from the artist Angy! 🫣 🔜 Pre-order your copy of Semantic Error (novel), Vol. 1 for the holidays!: buff.ly/Z4xBq57

This is Mack. In his head he absolutely crushed this agility course. Who are we to tell him otherwise. 14/10 (TT: adventuresof.mack)

I care that the art I engage with is made by humans, regardless of how "good" the tech may become, that is the underlying contention, that is important to me and cannot be bargained away. I'm sick of hearing about compromise this and middle ground that, do you want to hear my compromise? Remove it.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed" This. This right here. I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

"You can't un-invent AI!" We can't un-invent asbestos either. That doesn't mean we have to use it.

最大の効果発揮するのはこういう場合かもしれない。夕方とか夜とか表現するために乗算使うと全体的に暗くなりすぎて調整が難しいけれど、ハードライトレイヤーだと夕焼けの赤みを残したままとか夜の青みを残したままとかで影作れる。そこに光表現も同時に描ける。

ハードライトレイヤーで陰影。パンケーキと髪の毛の箇所でいくつかレイヤー数が必要になるところがたった1枚で済むのは確かに効率がいいかもしれない。この絵だとハードライトレイヤーである必要性低いからあれなんですが。

I nearly put Great Pretender on again but maybe I'll watch HMH instead, it's been a while. Even though Netflix is putting up new images to try to tempt me

sometimes when I'm unwinding in bed before sleep i read parts of my own fics instead of watching anime (the usual method). last night for some reason I was reading my sheith fic, and it made me feel so sad about the days when I really, really loved that show and was SO invested in all the characters

Heres my hot take about #TheWitcher: Season 1 is great and the narrative structure is only complicated if you're not paying attention. Ie: please actually watch the things you're watching.

Trying the new season of #TheWitcher and this is the stupidest, most heavyhanded way to handle the actor change. "reading a book about Geralt in the future"with Liam in a bunch of redone scenes. And soooooo much yennefer kissing? Which is the worst part of the story.

(And yeah I got bored with Dawson's Creek. Not sure if I'll go back and finish it)

To continue my binge-watching of shows that ended ages ago...I've been (re)watching #ModernFamily, and I'm about to hit the quitting point on this one too. It's one of the shows where I accidentally stopped watching back in the day and then never caught up, but it got worse as it went on anyway

do you ever like, remember the scene in ouran highschool host club where kyoya starts painting outside his frame and then you have like, a moment of existential elation? ... anyone?

they really did that basketball game just so Patrick would have to give the ring back to Kacie🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ #loveisblind

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

I'm 89 episodes into Kyo Kara Maoh and already thinking about how I want to start another rewatch
