Bought a new tower PC today because mine is 7 1/2 years old and it feels about due for an upgrade. I can't lie tho, it feels kind of wasteful because the PC I have still RUNS, and so in my mind I'm like... why not just use it until it completely collapses on its self catastrophically sdlkfhfsd

I do feel like sometimes the "AI-tell" stuff in writing is kind of a bummer because like. AI is trained on human speech/writing. There have been things I have been using in my regular speech/typing for decades that are now "AI tells" and it just kinda sucks

thank u, hexed@lindsaykingmiller.bsky.social · 5d ago

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

got out to a big fabric warehouse over the weekend and got a crap ton of cotton jersey fabric for $3/yard and I'm chuffed about it

"Millennium Actress" by Satoshi Kon is available for free on YouTube (in North America only). >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMqg...

This has been hitting women, particularly BIPOC women, in animation pretty hard over the last few years. Animation has historically been a boys club, and we’re rapidly backtracking *and* losing institutional knowledge

I am 53 and have been essentially forced into retirement. I thought it was just me, until I found an entire community of women in the same situation on Instagram. So many of us have just been told that we simply have nothing to contribute to society anymore.

it is officially Fall Candle Season aka the best time of the year

I've always liked incremental games on the browser/phone (think Cookie Clicker, FarmRPG, etc.) but I've discovered via Steam sales a genre of incremental games that goes beyond just clicking and idling and man what a blast LOL

unironically if i ever am lucky enough to own a home I will DIY it until it looks like the vibes these consoles portray

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

What is up with the trend in modern farming sims to include like ........ gambling style interactions with the NPCs?? I first saw this in Moonstone Island and now am seeing it in Farlands and I really don't like it at all sdflkhsfd

today I made a circle skirt and it turned out pretty good considering it's only my second time drafting a pattern sdlfhksdf I'll take pictures maybe sometime this weekend when I can accessorize it and dress it up properly

I always tell myself I'm gonna teach myself rendering/digital painting proper and then I just never do it sfdlksdf maybe this will be the year...

humans instinctively Make Stuff to meet our basic needs and the minute we have those needs met, we start making fun stuff. it's an essential part of being a person and it's good for us, imo

very relatable post cuz i'm a certified complainer and yet i still dust myself off and bruteforce my way to success LOL

you can start creating your story anytime. there is always time

Sometimes I wish I could be like... a little fashion fairy godmother for ppl, esp a lot of my guy friends, cuz the vibe I've gathered talking to a lot of my guy friends is "I wanna be more fashionable but IDK where to start and it's expensive" sdflkhfsdhl

One thing I can't wait to finally die from the older generations is idea of decorum towards the abusive. I'm thankful that i think the younger generations are done. I know I have been for a long time.

there are so many "discourses" online that if you talk to people irl about are literally cut and dry common sense conversations

I hate waiting mode. Like I have an hour before an appointment so I'm just sitting around waiting for time to pass because I can't possibly start any task when I have to leave in an hour sdflhsdf

Y'all gotta check out the under $3 section on Steam more often. You can find more popular games heavily discounted there, as well as some really interesting tiny indie games you might not have ever heard of too

I bought a candle the other day that is "pandesal" scented and I have never eaten it in my life but now I want to if it tastes like this smell

swam in a lake for the first time today. saw some lil minnows hehe

outside time :^)

i've got 1000 of these! - made a positive post on port day reminding ppl not to tie their value as a person to their job status - said women making "self inserts" is not a big deal, men do it all the time w/ no complaints - accused of running a lesbian brainwashing cult bcuz ppl liked my OCs

I posted a character design tip on twxtter last year, and several ppl replied “stop telling me how to draw!” 🙃

LRT if you read any studies about sexual violence against women and children, the findings are universally that 1) it happens significantly more often than society pretends it does and 2) it's not just "a small handful of very bad people" but rather a /decent chunk/ of the population

Here’s the study link. This study upended the idea that campus rape is perpetrated by a small group of sociopaths. In all reality, most rapists are just ordinary men who hold sexist views, hang out with other men who hold sexist views, and seek power and status.

Trajectory Analysis of the Campus Serial Rapist Assumption

This cohort study investigates whether most college men who commit rape do so consistently across time.

jamanetwork.com

According to the most rigorous studies, 10.8% of college men perpetrate at least one rape before graduation. This statistic always comes to mind when I see men in power reacting with disgust to the idea that one of their peers could face even a shred of accountability.

I did my first experiment with pattern drafting and sewed myself a lil doofy baggy sleeping tshirt from tacky halloween fabric I got on sale and the biggest lesson I'm taking away from it is that pattern drafting is not as intimidating as I thought it was SDFLHSFD
