A few years ago, this post of mine went viral (millions and millions of views) and it continues to circulate every few months. It seems to be making the rounds again. Posting it again here in case anyone needs this today. - Doug Murano, Founder & CEO, Bad Hand Books

After some heavy-duty sleuthing, I found a Reddit post from 5 years ago about this stunning #mural located at 1247 Granville St. by Emmanuel Jarus and Marcelline Siu entitled "l thought you were someone else". What a gorgeous contribution to the Vancouver city skyline from #Vanmuralfest 2021!!!

How is it legal to downgrade a person’s first class ticket? A friend of mine who is disabled paid for a first class ticket so that they would be able to survive a long flight. They have had an absolutely miserable experience with #PorterAirlinesCanada I am beyond disgusted. This should be illegal.

I’m so proud to announce the publication of a submission to the Journal of Open Source Software co-authored by John M. Boyer and myself, showcasing the Edge Addition Planarity Suite, the Planarity #Cython wrapper, and the Edge Addition Planarity Suite Testing #Python package 🚀🎉 #graphalgorithms

Spent HOURS of my life trying to compile gcc 16.2.0 from the release tarball (after trying to find the 16.2.1 tag to checkout on the repo and coming up with bupkiss) on Debian 13 (default gcc is 14.2.0), where the make command keeps failing in new and spectacular ways (don't even know what -fPIE is)

I tried to go into NKG with *all* the lifeblood charms so I could survive long enough to practice the patterns before being rudely reminded that you must bring The Baby into the dream theatre/arena Also yes I’m now broke again, THANKS DIVINE

The knight, a small bug with a pale visage punctuated by black eyes, slumps on the iron bench to the right of the Elderbug in Dirtmouth. They have 22 lifeblood “masks”, and will therefore die after 11 hits by the final boss of the Grimm Troupe, Nightmare King Grimm.

“Why am I like this” seems to be my catchphrase when it comes to crafting massive pull requests because I just can’t help but to fix things “while I’m in the neighbourhood” loooool LOOK, I KEEP MY COMMITS ATOMIC AND PRs FOCUSED MOST OF THE TIME. OK MAYBE LIKE 42% OF THE TIME. FUCK.

The text from part of a pull request I’m working on: “- planarity/full/g6IterationUtils.pyx -first pass to update docstrings with new cross-referencing notation... in particular, look at class docstring for G6WriteIterator referencing Graph !!! (I was in here already cuz I had to fix some cython-lint warnings, so figured I'd do this while in the neighbourhood. Why am I like this.)”

1/3 I started my Invisalign treatment this past Saturday, and boy howdy was the installation a humdinger. The past couple days have had a pretty steep learning curve, too, as getting them out of my face has proved to be a painstaking process, and I’m having sensory stuff…

I just saw a TikTok video by a fellow #nature creator, and I looked into what this phenomenon is actually called: a “mock mirage #sunset”, colloquially it’s called a #hamburgersunset, caused by one or more temperature inversion layers in the atmosphere so sunlight is refracted at different rates!

Wanda@wbkboyer.northsky.social · 2y ago

My take on a #sunset that I took a photo of last year! #gouache #HIMIgouache #painting #watercolor #watercolour #art #Vancouver #PNW

A sunset painted in gouache; the sun is refracted to create a spectacular aureole that seems to split the sun into a stacked triad of flattened discs.

An “Ais” in the hole.@aisbarks.bsky.social · last mo.

Society needs to stop villainizing autistic people. If we’re friendly, we’re flirting. If we’re honest, we’re mean. If we care about justice and fair play, we’re dramatic, attention seeking, negative, and disrespectful. Please stop targeting us. We’re not monsters.

HECK yeah, just discovered the #cara #artist social/portfolio platform, and I'm super intrigued. I very much appreciate the lengths to which they are going to discourage AI scraping. If you're interested in helping, you can either donate or contribute your time to development and maintenance!
