Okay I am getting creative. Snails are everywhere 🐌 2350m up in the Alps, under da sea, and in between. Heliciniae indet, Doriprismatica atromarginata, Aplysia californica

I'm on episode 10 and still can't get used to the random musical numbers in "Dance with Devils"

As much as I love seeing this shit show, and mocking it vocally, I would like to point out that SOME of what people are mocking, is, in fact, "the" AI work flow, not just idiots being idiots. Why make this distinction? Mostly so people can be aware of what AI can do and thus better respond to it. 🧵

If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade. I'll personally walk you through it.

Little Sunfish

He's not. He never will be. He was promised stock options that, based on current valuation, would be worth that much combined with his current stock holdings. It requires him meeting unmeetable goals AND Tesla stock not crater over a long period of time. Stop repeating propaganda like it's true.

Raising money to feed my family. The unfortunate delay of SNAP benefits affected us and am opening commissions to help feed my family. Please DM if interested.

This was such a huge piece of formative media for me. Like I DEVOURED this film and was a huge reason I watch martial arts movies now.

If you've played the "Gnosia" videogame, you'll have a blast watching the anime adaptation

Gates of Krystalia are doing numbers on Kickstarter again, so I'm tapping the sign to remind folks that the publisher, "Top Notch International" does strikingly irresponsible (with a side of appropriation), unreadable AI-generated books, marketed under multiple (fake) authors and titles. #ttrpg

Sunny wishes y'all a Happy Halloween! #art #oc

Quick thread of the many crabs named for Halloween related topics. This one is Gecarcinus quadratus, aka THE Halloween crab 🦀 1/

In 1912, a group of Polish and Franco-Belgian women weavers abruptly marched out of one of the mills in response to the mill owner trying to cut wages. This brave move of defiance inspired other workers in the area who were sick of being exploited and soon the strike spread to some 20,000 workers.

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

So fun story, I was laid off from my job earlier this week w/ no notice. Support for my content is really important right now. Especially on YouTube & Twitch where I'm monetized already. I've also increased my Ko-fi goal, but every little bit helps. Sharing is appreciated! 💖 ko-fi.com/blerdyotome

People get irate when you don’t “perform” poverty correctly.

"Skip Beat!" is still running?!

Pisces, inspired by Gustav Klimt's Danae :)

Misty Copeland took her final bow as an American Ballet Theatre principal dancer on Wednesday, a role she's had for the past 10 years.

When developers get the lion's share of a video game's profits and not executives and shareholders, then we can talk about raising the price of games. But miss me with this $100 shit when we have leeches like Phil Spencer and Andrew Wilson constantly laying off devs for a quarterly boost.

This Saturday! Join us for an informative lecture on everyone favorite DAW, Audacity! @thelillz.bsky.social is a professional audio engineer who has given this lecture before, which many folks found helpful. 💪😤 This will be recorded and a copy will be provided, even if you're not in attendance.

Chicago-area companies raked in millions from the feds as Operation Midway Blitz intensified. The Watch investigative team reports: blockclubchi.co/3Wk8c0Q

Let's try something new. If you donate to a food bank and tell me how much and which one, I'll match your donation. If it's less than $50, I'll round up. Tag me, reply here, or DM if you prefer. Why food banks? Because if we want to survive a general strike, we need to keep people fed.

You know what's great to do when your knee is already hurting? Slamming into a table leg really hard 😭!

It's today! I shall continue to do the messiest journalism with moon magic and make my new manager proud of me :D

Proof that public outcry can still be helpful, if temporarily. The money was rerouted to the National Center on Deafblindness, who will then distribute to the other programs. But it is only one year's worth, so keep an eye on it.

This is the LAST CALL for tomorrow's workshop with @crystalylee.com ! 😍 From Clorinde to Jean Grey, Crystal carries inside of her a strength and a measure of confidence that power her performance. Perhaps it's not so much a technique or an approach, but more about who we are on the inside. 1/2

Just got ending 2 in Silksong at 99 hours and 15 minutes. Time to totally have nothing else to do and boot the game up again for no reason. Definitely not save file related

the devil works hard but the blacksky team works harder 👏

It's time for Radio Dead Air, because while the government might be shut down unfortunately we're still going.

Still looking for voice actresses to audition! Please hit me up if you're interested! The project is another X Minutes! Reference: youtu.be/iczLwdwgr_s?...

Once again, any time saved with genAI is just kicked down the road, often to someone else, where and requires even more time to manage.

New Patreon post is up! Check out this short lil poem/song that is from my WIP novel (a high fantasy-set romance inspired by “Tristan & Iseult”, featuring queer and disabled main protagonists): www.patreon.com/posts/140518...

Kimberly Hébert Gregory, the voice of Nicole Williams in ‘Craig of the Creek’, has sadly passed away at the age of 52.

A little under 80 hours and I finally got ending one in Silksong!

A Black Woman battling a rare cancer needs help. After giving birth she found out she had cancer and lost her job because of it and is unable to work due to the pain. She’s raising money to afford groceries and bills this month. If we each give $1 she’ll reach her goal.

Finally made it through HHG in Silksong! Time for more exploration

Let’s get a little Sunday Support thread going! If you are disabled, chronically ill, and/or trans/nonbinary, please feel welcome to share your support links or anything else you want so we can support you! I’ll repost all replies! 💜 Nondisabled & cis folks: please repost & support replies too!

Still stuck at HHG in Silksong so decided to go back to some Hollow Knight to try some bosses I hadn't beaten yet. Managed to stomp two dream bosses into the ground like it was cake! Small progress is still progress!

@sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app Happy birthday!

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

*slowly walks in, drops this nostalgia bomb* 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️💨💨

I did my best to give it a fair chance but season three of "Alice in Borderlands" is bad. The plot is thin and full of holes and the games varied wildly in quality

Finally got the faydown cloak. Still not a fan of that area
