Moravian Stars hanging from the bridge in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Went on a short roadtrip with my partner from Wisconsin to North Carolina. I'd never driven that far on my own before, and I've never seen a mountain range in person before! I took this phone photo in Appalachia. I also took some film photos at this spot and I'm really excited to develop the roll~

Woah, I forgot about this place!

AI is the new Dot-Com Bubble. There's no point in every damn service having it, but they'll do it if it tricks a few idiot tech bros into buying their shit. Anything to avoid paying real people for the art & aesthetics that their products require to thrive. #fuckai #humanmade #noai

Looking at you, musicians who were totally cool with using AI to make your album art. :) Karmic. Everyone else tho, I'm so sorry. Another disgusting overreach of AI. Fuck you, SoundCloud. #fuckai #noai #fuckgenai #AIdestroysart #humanmade

My pitch for the girlies: Guillotine Summer 💀🎀🌞 #girldinner

I love when resource games allow me to name my colony. 💫🖤

It might not have been a good idea to look at visual size comparisons of the world map to use for my TTRPG worldbuilding at midnight. My brain hurts.

I finally posted a video on YT! Footage of our New Year's Day blacksmithing session. I'm still learning about videography so sorry about the banding on some shots. 🥲 youtu.be/A75tyFA4OSI?...

Pottery notes are transcribed! Gotta do woodworking notes next~ #commonplacing #skilltree

We're working on our Skill Trees in this house. 💫

My 2025 goal is to embody this character: *Including the abs... I need the musclesss

First forging session of 2025! Burned some homegrown sage & poured a shot of whiskey on the anvil in celebration. ⚒️ From rusty nails to simple, handmade hooks! #blacksmithing #metalwork #forging #craftsman #newyearsday #handmade

Corporations seem to really not get that “cyberpunk” is a literary genre about anti-corporate rebellion in a dystopian wasteland of extreme disparity between the wealthy elites and the common folk, between the empowered and the powerless… …and not just “when stuff is cool, but in a tech way”

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

I started outlining a short story for the first time in a looong time! And I've done 5 word sprint practices this month. 😎✒️ #writersky #writingpractice

I stumbled on the TT Live of author LaDarrion Williams talking about his book 'Blood At The Root' - He was literally the sweetest person, answering some Qs for us commentors and talking about his experiences as a Black writer. Had to pick up a signed copy! 💫 #bookrecs #diversereading #blackfantasy

Experiments in papermaking. Dried florals pressed in~ #crafting #papermaking #handmade

📚 Started reading "She Who Knows" by Nnedi Okorafor today; I'm halfway through and I'm amazed by how much futurist worldbuilding and dark mysticism Okorafor was able to pack into the first 70 pages! ❤️‍🔥 #readinglist #currentlyreading #scifi #fantasy #novella

I'm craving this game so much. 😭

First look at ‘Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’ Naughty Dog’s next game

"Intergalactic" from Naughty Dog looks fucking amazing tho. THIS is what I wanted to see. Plus Trent Reznor for the music?!? 😭✨ I can live out my Cowboy Bebop dreams in this game, I'm so in. #thegameawards #gameawards2024 #gaming #gamedesign

The amount of repetitive shooters & revived fighter IPs really highlights the damage AI has done to the gaming community. This is what happens when you put profits & convenience over sincere, meaningful game design. I'm sad for all the new stories that won't be told this year.

I'm back on my #papermaking bullshit. 🫠 Using the previously-mentioned HP pages. #recycledcrafts #upcycling

I'm finding that tearing up my childhood Harry Potter & Neil Gaiman books to make recycled paper has been both a somber & weirdly therapeutic experience.

"Hmm, I have an hour, I should do some writing practi--"

I'm really happy with our new desk setup~ 🌈☁️ I'm playing a lot of Mistria, TCG Sim, & Kingdom at the moment. :)

I'm obsessed, these are SO cute! 🌜

Karma's a bitch, and I love that for her. :)

My #Storygraph charts of 2023 vs 2024. #booksky #thestorygraph #readingchart

I'm starting step one of my #Videography / #Cinematography self-education: Learning the basics of Da Vinci Resolve. So far it's been much more straightforward than I thought. Soon I plan to do studies -- Any suggestions for femme & queer cinematographers to put on my list? 📽️ #filmsky

Reminder that your favorite local indie bookstores make a lot of their yearly income during the holiday season. Go shop local today. ❤️

📚 "One by One" by Ruth Ware ⭐ 3.75 Loved the overall setting and vibe, but I think a little more could've been done with some chars. Danny is a real one and was my fav. The major plot points needed just a little more oomph imo, but the twists were solid in true Ware fashion. #booksky #bookreview

Artist Isobelle Ouzman carves intricate 3D illustrations into discarded books found in dumpsters, recycling bins, and local thrift shops

I was teaching this today in a class on women artists of the school of Paris. Suzanne Valadon’s The Blue Room, 1923. Pretty damn cool. And so much better than some of the saccharine stuff by Renoir & co that she had, in former days, been the model for.

Chilly weather time. ❄️✨

I asked @amsraitor.bsky.social to draw a set of portraits for me: one of my daily look, and one of my fantasy self! I LOVE them. 🥹

💎

These block lists are the most genius shit I have ever seen tho. 👁️‍🗨️ Y'all are doing the most & I thank you.

Another social media platform!!
