Maybe if the AI people yell at me for the 5 millionth time about how I’m not using their dogshit technology that has made everyone’s lives worse I’ll finally start liking it for no conceivable reason.

I’m in a DV situation. I’ll be homeless any day now. I need to crowdsource. Basic stuff: a used laptop, AirBNB, a storage unit, transportation. PROBLEM: Apple Wallet is rejecting my card. My bank account isn’t empty. Weird. Can we try PayPal? catacaustic77@gmail.com. Even $5 helps. THANK YOU! 💚

Screenshot of my phone call history with Women’s Services, from last Wednesday to Friday. 

The intake process was almost finished. While I was on the phone, my abuser called the police. Four cops showed up. I lost my shelter bed. FUCK. 

Mysteriously, my laptop died that morning. I’m typing on my phone. 

My meds disappeared, too.

Nowhere to go. No one to stay with. No car. No money.Call History: I’ve spoken with Women’s Services several times since May 25th, 2026. Our interactions go much further back. The third screenshot shows more calls. A sample. I’ve interacted with shelters, Victim Services, and other agencies for years. Wasted time.Call History: I’ve interacted with Women’s Services since November 18th, 2025. (Much longer, but you get the drift.)

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

Some tips on how I tackle dragon (and any non humanoid) expressions! I don't normally like adding human like eyes or eyebrows so these are other things I rely on, check alt text for added tips #dragon #art #tutorial (I don't consider it a tutorial per se pero will make it easier to find for people)

tips on dragon expressions, with different basic examples on applying human emotion to a non human face following the rules of animation and acting + understanding how the muscles we draw on said dragons can be moved around to replicate not just human-like expressions but also drawing from animal ones. Around indication texts on where to squash or stretch features there's the following tips:

Pay attention to analogous muscles of human and animal anatomy. Plenty of cat and dog memes have human-like expressions.

Balance stylization and realistic, more rigid anatomy. Balance the trade-offs of each. If your dragon can't use eyebrow-like movements push eye-shapes, pupil dilation changes, body and face angle/pose and light to drive the mood. If you play it right even a lipless dragon with no mobile face muscles can show all range of emotion on the scene.

Play with pupil dilation to express different emotions, think of how does a human express them. Mix it with animal body language that humans understand easily too: bristling, baring teeth, snarls, smiles, hand and body gestures, lowcast gazes, lowering your head to someone's eye level, subdue poses, trying to look down on someone or loving gazes, the sky is the limit.

Move the head! angles are everything. Scales can act as eyebrows but you don't need them (they are helpful however). The magic lies in eye shape + cheeks, mouth and how shadows shape the expression. How flared nostrils are and showing sclera in extreme expressions can be pretty useful too!Same image but lining the direction of the lines the shapes take, that's the keay to expressions in any drawing and this is no different.

Hey, so our workshop got broken into over the weekend. Most of what was stolen was just replaceable stuff, but one very precious mask was taken. Tierney's head has been stolen. If anyone sees this head anywhere, let us know immediately. Hoping against hope that we can bring her home.
