Shane Carruth. Upstream Color is a phenomenal film, but some aspects of the story land different once you know what happened offscreen.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

The past couple of weeks have been spent fixing up the pages I've already worked on, including tweaking the artwork (making it less wonky) and adding missed panels. Deadlines are approaching, but the graphic memoir is looking really nice so far! :)

This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

James Bond Principles: Taipei 101 — Climbing Gold
Why is Alex so psyched to climb a skyscraper on live TV? How hard is Taipei 101? Is this a gimmick? The answers go deeper than you might expect. Fitz sat down with Alex to break it down before he left...

This is the first photo that I have seen of the packaging. Regardless of whether we love/hate the autistic barbie, it's great for the community that they are giving @autisticadvocacy.org this visibility.
Forget the part about "more light", it simply won't get bright today 😅 Here are some pictures. I will post some thoughts in the comments.

Does anyone know the name of the software for turning head tracking into mouse movements? I seem to remember one paired a forehead dot with it.

Any suggestions for a kdrama to watch? I've liked Twenty Five Twenty One and Extraordinary Attorney Woo and am looking for something similar (slightly escapist, but not fantasy, occasional sob). Ideally on UK Netflix.

Just learned 'access fatigue' 🤯
meaning: the effects of constantly having to explain, teach, & reinvent access. This demand wears us down, shapes how we see ourselves, and makes pushing for inclusion harder.
It IS exhausting. I'm so glad I have the vocabulary for this now.

Just six minutes into watching the video and Georgia has already nailed it. The problem with the "is autism overdiagnosed?" debate is that (by using a sleight of hand) "overdiagnosed" doesn't mean what you think it means.

Which type / number of dice is the most satisfying to roll? Personally, I’m leaning towards two six-sided dice, I think, but I’m interested in what other people feel. (Re-skeets appreciated).
Also realising that in this case, *size is important*.

Reminder!!
Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use!
Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does.
Instructions are in the bio/first post.

This autistic artist is doing their life story as a graphic novel ("The Big Soup: Growing up Autistic"). Looks good.
Follow them for more work in progress.

Here are some inks, before I fix/edit them and apply shading. This scene could do with just a little more context, but it's spread out over many prior pages, which I can fit here: I was misbehaving more around this time, which explains my keyworker/LSW's mood (1/2)

Some more work-in-progress panels from the College era (shading and tweaks having been applied yet). The part of Cardiff we lived in was rather unpleasant.

I'm looking for a Spotify alternative for students (in the UK). Does anyone have any recommendations?
Qobuz seems like the best option from what I've read so far, except that they only offer 2 years at the student price, while others offer 4.

1. People in wheelchairs can have sex.
2. Girls who are paralyzed can get pregnant and give birth.
3. We do not sleep in our wheelchairs.
4. We can speak for ourselves.
5. Every injury is different.
6. Some can feel and some can’t.
