Saw a tumblr post saying AI is turned on again in a hidden Google Drive menu, but its not a menu you can find on mobile; its only desktop. anyhoo. here it is with a picture and clearer directions Google Drive > MyDrive > (Gear Icon top right) Settings > Manage Apps [switch off Gemini here]

It’s time for a long bath (with actual bubbles) and a big mug of one of Ramona’s various kinds of tea. Or a cocktail. Possibly both. 📸@darkphibre #RamonaFlowers #RamonaFlowersCosplay #ScottPilgrimCosplay #Sonicboombox #PaxWest #comicbookcosplay

Dagging is underrated and we should bring it back. My garb was originally going to be more bird-like but I think the vision still comes through. The Washington Renaissance Faire theme of Fêtes des Masques was new and it was a blast to see all the creative looks! 📸 @tranimaging2 #RenaissanceFaire

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

An incredibly important skill REQUIRED for being a mentally healthy successful creative is to practice going "That thing isn't for me, but I'm really happy for its apparent success!" Spending energy on hating things and making that your personality always leads to unhappiness or self embarrassment.

instead of faking intelligence by submitting machine-generated essays, I recommend faking intelligence the old-fashioned way: by showing a lively curiosity towards the world and improving your mind by extensive reading.

I was born to go on adventures through the countryside, befriending dragons, and rescuing damsels in distress, but instead I go to the office and pay my taxes.

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

I thought I might find you here... . Caitlyn was my comfortable cosplay for Sunday at ECCC. I cropped and painted a thrifted jacket, but want to remake it, with the rest of the accessories 📸: @davesphotos.bsky.social #caitlynkiramman #caitlynarcane #arcanecosplay #ECCC

Why the fuck are we open mouth coughing in public spaces!!!!

Category is: Self-rescuing princess 📸: Shorbo Photo Lady Knight Snow White is my latest armored princess #cosplay. She's loosely historically inspired, but was mostly a chance to make leather armor for #ECCC

A beer and a snack, in cosplay, at the last Gameworks: an #ECCC tradition

Today's project: painting the gold details on my leather cuirass for Lady Knight Snow White. On the home stretch for ECCC!

What new horrors am I waking to today? What new joys can I create to resist?

Happy Valentine’s Day to my favorite cosplay partner, @zack.zip! Here's to rarely matching cosplay characters but always matching energy, even when that energy might be rad poisoning! ❤️☢️❤️☣️

Very excited to present the work of Alex Edwards at the gallery this evening. Join us 4:30-8pm for some fancy cheese and formline! The beautiful guitar will be auctioned off to support The Sitka Fine Arts Camp.

A #wipWednesday as a treat! The last time I made leather armor was 10 years ago, for Merida, and I'm enjoying building on what I've learned in the last 10 years. Leather is similar to foam, but different in many ways and even though my pieces aren't perfect, there's fun in being a beginner again too

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Seattle folks: there is a massive fundraiser this weekend supporting immigrant rights nonprofits. Lots of local restaurants and businesses are donating a portion of their profits. Eat good food, help a good cause: bit.ly/m/seattlefun...

Here's my WIP for ECCC: lady knight Snow White! The general idea is vaguely historical and I'll be adding leather (and probably foam) armor, so we'll see where we are by early March. None of these pieces are done, but I'm mostly happy with how it's coming along

At some point, I stopped posting my WIPs on Instagram. Partially because they don't get as much engagement, but mostly because they don't ever feel "done enough" to share. But I love seeing other people's progress pictures and WIPs, so I'm going to try to get back to sharing mine again more.

classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

PSA: you do not have to watch the news tomorrow. You do not have to keep track of everything day 1. This is a marathon not a sprint. Take care of yourself and spend time with friends and family. I'll be out on the slopes wfh my partner enjoying nature. They can't take our joy, I won't let them.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

“Bluesky is an echo chamber” Yes of course it is, I tailored it to my taste, interests, opinions, and community. I’m here to have a good time, not argue with strangers lmao

It's cold and dark and gross outside and this is just so cozy. Yes, it's just an elevated vehicle for a tasty bourbon, but it's been a long week and this feels more luxe than a basic manhattan. *ingredients not pictured: 1 egg white and several dashes of hazelnut bitters*

You morons, you can't repeat the Gilded Age. That's not how history works--it only goes in one direction. Now let me take a big sip of coffee and make sure no nihilistic young Italians have built homemade weapons with which to assassinate robber barons.

If you (like me) choose to grocery shop the day before Thanksgiving, a couple ways to improve the experience: be patient, spare a smile, help someone find an ingredient. We're not stuck in shopping cart traffic, we *are* the traffic. And if you know a secret way out of the parking lot, use it! 🦃

I ate your PLUMS and I cannot lie I'm guilty and I won't deny That when I found them kept in a pretty chilly place yeah I put them in my face and man, YUM, couldn't have enough 'Cause you know that my tum is stuffed, But you were breakfast saving, Your forgiveness now I'm craving

I truly want this fantasy to be a reality…

It’s always a good reminder that the person you’re talking to on the other end of your screen is a person, just like you. Not an account, a real, live human being.

I secured my username here late last year and kind of forgot about this account, but it looks like it's finally time to figure out how this app works! Looking forward to reconnecting with folks
