There's a certain pleasure to wandering with a camera at 1 AM with nothing but the stars and pines above. Only 5 more days left of this amazing time spent in nature. But I will keep savoring every moment of it.
Seeking a decent Tetris game app with offline play and minimal ads for completely normal reasons please and thank you.
Goodnight from Scotland, catch you tomorrow beautiful souls 😁
I am full of dispair and rage. "I can't afford an ambulance," should not be one of the first things spoken by the victim of a shooting.

Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.
every time I wanna give up on one of these tasks I remind myself a girl would think it's hot
everyone dunking on how easy it is to keep AIs contained this week has been fined 1 watching of Ex Machina
Bong Joon Ho. From Snowpiercer to Parasite, this guy knows how to get me on the edge of my seat.
Casey Stegman@caseystegman.com · 3d agoWho, in your mind, is the best director of action sequences? (Not just action movies.)
"sex isn't plot relevant" is literally just "sex should be for procreation only" with a different sauce
Sometimes being anti-AI feels like being the guy in the bee movie who was like “why are you cheating on me with a bee” and everyone acts like he‘s the crazy one
Getting up at 4 am while backpacking: Wonderful. Beautiful. Look at that sunrise. It's so quiet and still. I could sit here forever. Getting up at 4 am to go earn a paycheck: Bullshit. This is bullshit. It's too goddamn early for this. Fuck this, I'm gonna shit in someone's corn flakes.
THIS THIS THIS. So many people tell me "I don't know if I really NEED a cane..." and friends, as a Certified Disabled Person (tm), I am begging you, if you think there's ANY way it might help you even a LITTLE, try it! If it helps, keep using it! You don't even have to use it all the time!
Nome@nome.bsky.social · 4d agoSide note: If a walking stick or cane seems like a fun accessory, I (as a disabled person who has had to use a cane from time to time) heartily encourage you to use one! And if it at all makes your life easier, I encourage you EVEN HARDER TO KEEP USING IT.

Dane Olds is my truest friend. He is an artist of legendary skill. If you’ve played a BGS game you’ve had his art on screen 99% of the time. Too many Skyrim weapons to count. All the Dwemer creatures. MUD CRABS. Like half the guns in Fallout 4. Loads of weapons in Starfield. Laid off by Microsoft.
It will be a long journey 🐎 [our characters with my co-author]
my country: *is on fire, run by fascists, riddled with drought, filled with evil ai clowns, people are being kidnapped off the streets by the government* me: “why don’t I feel creative rn”

My best photo from the other night, showing off the milky way core. Taken with my phone under extremely dark skies, enhanced with a bit of photo editing.
Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.
Gwen C. Katz@gwenckatz.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
Let's start things off on here with my 3-page comic of the ending of #Paranorman! It was really fun getting to do something different outside of how I normally draw, the burning panel was especially my favorite 🦋
Hair's gotten to the point where I start itching for the clippers again
