Years ago in art school one of my classmates was this girl who only drew gigantic thin skeleton like figures in blood screaming in agony ripping their head out, she’d bring it in every week to class and in my mind I was like “I hope she’s ok in the head” and now it’s 8 years later and that’s ME.
Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.
There are ppl out there who hate the taste of plain water…… and it fascinates me so much,,
if anyone would like to help I have a ko-fi. I am still seeking long- term employment. I have a life-limiting condition that will kill me within days if I am not medicated. I dont have a thyroid, and I take synthetic thyroid hormones to continue living. Thank you so much ko-fi.com/littlestpers...

This Airbnb we’re staying at in Philly is wild. It’s right above a loud sports bar so I’m currently laying in bed and the bed and floor are VIBRATING from the music downstairs. And we saw a mouse scuttling around so now we’re trying to lure it out Tom and Jerry style with a piece of cheese.
ai feels like a special poison for ppl who know they have a certain level of intelligence bc they think they resist the siren call and use it moderately. it reminds me of that one reddit thread where someone said they will just do heroin (once) and then spiralled into a years long addiction.
I really like it in art when people depict characters with their chin tilted up so that you see the dimensionality of their face, especially the triangular underside of their nose, the jut of their lips, their eyes and eyelid shape, and cheekbones.
Was rewatching Singin in the Rain the other day and there’s a moment in the film where some girls in a movie theater are seeing Jean Hagen’s character on screen and they go, “She’s so refined… I think I’ll kill myself.” Wow… even back in the 50s they made suicide jokes over beautiful women… timeless
Hello friends, I'm trying to do something crazy. i need daily votes for this runway competition! I'm currently in second place for the first round, but I need to maintain daily votes every day to win! <3 I want to go to New York!! nextrunwaystar.com/2026/rebekah...
When is it appropriate to do a callout post on a major airline on social media because in these past two days of travel we have experienced delays diversions and system errors that have turned what was supposed to be a few hours of flying into a TWO DAY nightmare
No odyssey tonight because our plane got diverted to Detroit 😔 i guess you can say…… that we really went on our own Odyssey.
Zi Xu@ziqqix.bsky.social · last wk.I have never read the Odyssey will it be enjoyable if I watch the movie first 🤓

Recently had a pretty bad nervous breakdown that’s lasted a week, crashing out is putting it lightly, it’s years of pent up stress that has finally snapped. I am sharing this in case anyone else feels the same and feels alone
Every single Carrie adaptation has them casting some gorgeous blonde girl as Carrie and it makes me roll my eyes so hard they fall out of my sockets, unfortunately

Down a rabbit hole of looking for music I used to be into in my old iTunes and I can’t seem to find this one band I remember being SUPER into them in the 2010s but I’m blanking on their name. Genre is indie/bluegrass? I’ve tried to recreate the album cover to the best of my ability.. anyone know??
🌸 It's my birthday! 🌸 I've been away with family & friends, my heart is full ♥️🥰♥️ Grateful to still be here~ I'd love to see what you're all working on or anything you're recently proud of in comments~ Share, support, & stay weird ♥️
Ok here’s another positive client interaction a while back: they really liked my sketches and art so they commissioned me for more images than at the start and they straight up told me “zi, you’re a BEAST”
Zi Xu@ziqqix.bsky.social · 2w agoIs it pretentious to have a testimonials page for your website because a past AD I worked with messaged me and said something like “I’ve been telling my clients you don’t need AI when you have a Zi” and if that isn’t a banger of a testimonial……………………
Blade runner 2099 is going to be about a world where replicants won a war so they’re in charge…….??? And not humans??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
