collection of (mostly edible) goodies over the past few days.
Today was the first time I celebrated my birthday at work (last year it nicely fell on a weekend) and it wasn't too bad 😅🥹
My coworkers are amazing - and so was the apple pie my flatmate made for me to bring to the office! ❤️

Because apparently it's funny enough to share outside of a GC. Love that he's back on posting selfies himself rather than just getting photos taken in a theatre.

A selfie by Rhys (posted on 19 June) that says "Come and witness the best hair in comedy". The photo has been altered to include several disclaimers. One on his hair reads "100% organic". On his left is a "free range" sticker. There's a "no AI" one over his right shoulder and "ethically sourced" on the left.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Universal did not permit, authorize, or license Midjourney to copy or use any of Universal's copyrighted works in connection with any version of its Image Service or to otherwise exploit Universal's works at any time. You acknowledged as much in a September 16, 2022 Forbes interview in which you confirmed that Midjourney never sought any copyright holders' consent to use or exploit their works:
Did you seek consent from living artists or work still under copyright?
No. There isn't really a way to get a hundred million images and know where they're coming from. It would be cool if images had metadata embedded in them about the copyright owner or something. But that's not a thing; there's not a registry. There's no way to find a picture on the Internet, and then automatically trace it to an owner and then have any way of doing anything to authenticate it.

A great article!
And not going to lie, spent a big part of lives being worried things will turn bad.
Seeing the national guard like this in US felt dystopian.

ice cream season is back, so I'm back at puzzling people by asking for cone only and no ice cream, while forgetting the swedish word for cone.
And Im pretty sure my fave cafe only has a price for the ice cream cone sorted because I was asking for cone only 😅😅

Brilliant @alandslideofop1.bsky.social's pet shop cat-Ed and goldfish-Stede cross my mind so often. I did youngster versions of them a while back. 🧡

#OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death as a young cat and a young goldfish. Ed is black and white with fluffy ears and swishing his tail while sitting on top of the bowl. He's looking at Stede with a big cat grin. Stede is a gold and pink goldfish in the bowl with some insane foliage and pebbles. He's blowing heart shaped bubbles. They're gross in every universe.

Hi all! We've cancelled this weekend's featured author chat, deleted the featured author thread, and removed that author from the server after learning of behaviour that's completely out of line with our values.

This was news to us, too, and we're so sorry to everyone who's been affected ❤️ 1/2

Hymn to Virgil is altering my brain chemistry. It's the best part of my day whenever @oatmilktruther.bsky.social updates it!! Here's my attempt at visualizing Princess Ed and her loyal knight Stede.

A digital drawing of Ed and Stede from our flag means death, but in an AU situation ; stede is kneeling, holding a large sword. He's wearing unspecific armor type clothing with a blue cape and a brown belt and skirt. His eyes are closed. Ed is standing to the right, wearing a sort of empire waist type dress, with very long repunzel type hair with some gold jewelry. She has one hand to her chest and the other touching Stede's hair. She is looking down at him.

Just saw that the lovely @georgiatennant.bsky.social posted about our auction. I’m so proud of @ghostalservice.bsky.social and the auction crew and the crafters and the show crew and the bidders and the sharers. So glad it will help kiddos who deserve the chance to be themselves. 🏴‍☠️💖

I am waaaay too excited about a day off but it is first proper day off I had this calendar year (the day off for Swedish exam and then for NY party prep in early January does not count 😅)
