learned today what you're supposed to do if you crash your car into a power pole & can't stay in your car (you hop away on one foot or shuffle without lifting either foot off the ground) thought 'that's ridiculous' but i guess it's true. electricity is so bizarre. safeelectricity.org/safety-tips/...

Know How To Stay Safe If Your Car Crashes Into A Power Pole - Safe Electricity

In traumatic situations, it may be instinctive to flee as soon as possible. A car accident is a good example of this. However, if you are in a car accident with a power line, the safest place is often...

We report: we found more clouds throughout the day, and varying weather, too. There was wind that moved the clouds along, and in the evening, it got humid. It is a little foggy now. We keep track of it all as we go, and we wonder if we can hope for some rain in the near future.

painting is going "i have no clue. i have no fucking idea how i'm getting to where i need to be" over and over until your hand moves in some weird way and puts the color down exactly where it needs to be. if you're lucky you can then replicate that, but usually you just keep going 'i have no clue'

Palmer Luckey's retro gaming company uses the same components for its gaming products as it does its Trump-backed Anduril war profiteering. LCD panels, FPGA circuit boards. he's making these whitewashing toys because they're a rounding error for bulk drone parts purchases. avoid ModRetro.

A small announcement before we continue yelling about books:

Bonedust Press is a publisher, which means we need to sell books to survive as a business, but that is nothing compared to the people around the world, including in our own communities, trying to simply survive through genocide, war, natural disasters, and hateful bigotry.

We cannot ignore our need to balance these two truths.

Bonedust Press commits to donating 10% of all direct sales to mutual aid on a continuing basis. Every month, we will donate to a specific cause and we will continue to do so for as long as we are able.

Just to be perfectly clear: we support freedom and independence for Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and every place being bombarded or threatened. We see Sudan and we grieve and wish for peace. We support our trans and queer siblings and their freedom. We do not tolerate hateful bigotry. We are just a small indie publisher, but we are built by human hands. We are Black, queer, and angry. Our heart hurts for the people in pain, and we’ll do what we can with what we have.

contemplating a big heavy flashlight with a bunch of emergency stuff on it and going 'naaah... not right now' and then the power going out before I can even close the tab...

We report: after a night of stargazing, we are on our way to sleep, but the sun is doing everything it can to keep us awake. Our expert is continuously yawning as they comment on the movement of the crepuscular rays, and we are trying very hard not to rub our eyes.

Digital painting of a sunrise sky: over a dark line of trees, some dark grey clouds, outlined in bright orange and yellow. From behind the clouds, the sun is casting clear rays, illuminating a large strip through the sky. There is a small, white contrail in the top right corner of the frame.

I'm also working through packing up the patreon stuff for this month and just realized it's < $10 from breaking into being a cool thousand a month. If you want to learn about and support a bunch of cool fringe indie devs each month, I think it's a good way to do it! patreon.com/indiepocalypse

We report: we see half a dozen sunrises on the train. The sun emerges from behind the clouds, casting an orange glow across the whole sky, then the clouds swallow it back. Minutes later, another place, the shape of the clouds has changed, but it happens again the exact same way.

Digital painting of a sunrise sky, large swathes of grey clouds spread out  across a pastel blue and orange sky. The clouds are all different shapes, some long and smooth, others tall and bubbling. In the middle of the frame, some clouds are bright red, and bright sunshine is coming through. The horizon is dark, trees and buildings.
