Dancing, music and art are three of the strongest human things there are for recharging your spirit If the despair is gripping you too tightly, pick one and GO WILD

Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders. In panel 1, he is pointing emphatically at one of his gangsters. Caption reads, "No defeatism." Panel 2 has him shouting at the room, "NO FUCKING DEFEATISM!"

I don't write poetry often and I don't claim to be good at it. But it's New Years and I'm a sappy romantic at heart who'd had half of this forming in my head all day. I hope it finds you.

Heavy
By Jeremy Whitley

It feels so heavy sometimes,
The weight of loss.
To think of all those who used to care for us,
Those we can no longer turn to,
No longer repay.
To think of the friends who once made us who we were,
Now names only remembered when a certain song plays,
Or when you remember who showed you a great movie.
Who we have torn ourselves away from,
Or been torn from,
Or had torn from us.
To think of the pets we once thought would never fit our lives,
But sat at our feet when we worked,
Reminded us to get up and go walk,
Or nuzzled us when our hearts were broken.
To think of the people we might have beens,
The “one days” that passed us by while we worked,
The lives we might have lived, had one thing gone differently.
It all feels so heavy.

It’s only in the weight of my loss,
That I can truly reckon how rich I must have been.
To have so much to have lost.
To bear the weight of so many connections and possibilities.
To have loved and been loved,
Looking at it all at once, it seems impossible.
Someday I will look back at these words and marvel,
What a fool I will have been now to mistake so little loss for so much.
I will have found so many more things to lose then.
Like Marley’s chains to Scrooge’s.
I will be so much heavier.

I have realized that I write to make myself heavier,
To build stories that draw new friends and expectations.
Books like traps to catch like minds,
Books full of water to replenish like souls.
Books full of bandages to mend like hearts.
Books to make you heavier with possibilities.

Lightness is the curse of the uncaring,
To have no loss or possibilities to drag around.
I want to lift that curse.
It is so difficult to hold it all up.
It all feels so heavy.
But I would never choose to be an ounce lighter.

As a rule, I always try to solve specific problems rather than general ones. So, what is the Tech Art solution for this particular hair style versus what is a broad solution that will work for all hair styles.

Shout out to @kchironis.bsky.social for a REALLY Beginner friendly UE4 tutorial (following on UE5.6 and it translates fine) The way Kate has predicated all the newbie questions as well as explaining enough of the 'why' is really well done!

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Made a geometry node approach to blending vertex normals between objects in 4.5. This one keeps the normals even if you move the object unlike the modifier approach. Maybe I'll update my script to append this in. #Blender3D | #B3D | #Lowpoly

Floreum 🎨🖌️@floreum.art · last yr.

I got tired of having to set this up for any separated objects that needed their normals blended so I made a script that does this by selecting two objects. #Lowpoly | #Blender | #B3D
