I'm going to teach myself how to handle the manual controls on my camera. I can finally put my figurine collection to good use 🙌 I'm also looking for places in the Bay Area for photoshoot locations that are safe and not crowded. Also no parks, since I want more than just grass and a bench. Lmk

I wrote another article! Every time I publish one, I feel more like professional press. You can really tell that my articles have a lot of photos in them, because I enjoy photographing the experience more than writing. g33khq.org/open-sauce-2...
Open Sauce 2026: When Robots, Astronauts, and Game Developers Are All Under One Roof - G33K-HQ
I had the opportunity to go check out a convention called Open Sauce. It is a STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics) themed convention, where creators showcased their ambitious creations. E...

I'm pleasantly surprised that the soybeans I grew tasted this amazing. I grew a lot of beans in the front yard, but the harvest was really shitty-enough for half a bowl. It's got a very nice, nutty aftertaste to it. Birds and squirrels don't go for them, so it's a big win for me.
Instant photos is like really expensive crack for me 😭 It makes me happy even if the photo is almost always shit, but I feel so giddy every time something pops out of my crappy camera. The film probably won't get cheaper, which sucks, so I guess I will have to make b̵l̵o̵o̵d̵ sacrifices *sigh*
I really miss that old 90s CLAMP manga style inkwork. Here is my attempt at it, with Jamie in outfit 3 from Street Fighter 6. I realized too late that he wears red, and my marker also dripped some unwanted colors =_=
I had to double check if that was a typo, but it's not-how the freakin hell did they get LOTUS JUICE to MAGWEST?! I haven't gone to a concert in over a decade, but this is kinda tight. Magwest is absolutely one of those hidden gem conventions in the Bay Area which is a must-see. AUGUST 8 IS COMING
Chun-Li x Ingrid I got a stack of small sketchbooks from a recent event, because it was really hard to find the stamp books, and they were trying to get rid of them. It felt like a sign that I was not causing enough chaos on my feed.
Signing was canceled the moment I showed at my booth Come to the panel
Last day of SDCC! Come out and support fandom history! 1) In My Y2K Era - hosted by SDCC masquerade winners from last night! Today at 3PM in Room 24ABC. I'll be giving out stickers too! 2) The Fangirl Diaries - book signing at 1PM to 2PM in Q-14 with Diwata Komiks. Hope to see you all there!
I cannot freaking believe anyone would do this to an author. Imagine going to SDCC expecting two signing events, having to buy your own books for others to buy on site at the signing because you’re an indie author, having your first signing canceled, showing up to your second signing and THIS???

I just finished the Avatar Aang movie. It's a MUST SEE for anyone who is a fan of this series, an absolute gem! It really encompasses the passion and humor of the original series. I really loved how they displayed the magnitude of how scary the elements are, and also how powerful bending is too.
I wrote an article about the biggest local that happens near my city. Photos also by yours truly ^_^ g33khq.org/kings-cup-th...

I skipped Anime Impulse to go to some event called "Open Sauce" I had an AMAZING time, and as you can see, I got two prizes for achieving at least 50 stamps on my stamp card! There were 3d cutter and printer demos, and I even got a selfie of myself on wood. Oh yea, and fried chicken night. Woo hoo!
If this isn't for your family, it might be for someone you know. Free summer lunches and snacks are available for every child 18 and under in Berkeley. Sharing this could help someone.

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

WHA OH!!! Anyway use deer.social
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?
My birthday is 3 months from now, but if anyone wants to buy this for me, I'm totally cool with that too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YyD...

I slept through the fireworks with the windows open last night. When I was younger, there was the 'is it fireworks, or something else?' game whenever I heard a BOOM at night. I guess when you live in a rough neighborhood, you just kind of get used to it.

There are so many incredible and creative practical effects in this single, stop motion movie. It's also intriguing that some sets are 60fps instead of 40fps. Usually, stop motion movies have very limited sets, but they didn't hold back on this movie 0_0 youtu.be/diRwnGRr-Ko?...

I'm really surprised this was made in 2018 It hits really close to today's politics about the use of brainwashing the public with false media, and convincing the public that science is not the answer. I would highly recommend checking it out right now. youtu.be/dt__kig8PVU?...

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments
"Writing is thinking. Drawing is seeing. The process of writing and drawing on your own helps you see and think and participate in the world and be part of a community and be a human being. No A.I. in the schools. Anywhere. Kick it out. It doesn't belong. Our kids are humans. They're not products."
The people at the plant nursery let me keep the Buddha's Hand fruits that fell off the branch. I'm so happy! The citrus smells is quite wonderful; it really helps me calm down 😌
i think about how readings and inferring subtext have both become something sort of lost in favour of "pure headcanon/all interpretations are equal" vs "author declared this canon" and how this extreme binary is why the public has so quickly taken to blind trust in AI
which could mean anything
