Welp I finally did it

I swapped out my FFXV phone wallpapers. I have enjoyed them for nearly a decade and they will always be there for me if I decide I need them again.

I’ve traded them for… my oldest hyper-fixation instead

The “add new wallpaper” screen from an iPhone. On the left, the Lock Screen is a famous photo by Richard Lasher, of his red Ford Pinto and dirt bike on a dirt road in a mountain gorge, with the eruption column of Mount Saint Helens in the distance. On the right, the background wallpaper is a black and white photo of Mount Saint Helens in eruption on May 18, 1980, taken by Austin Post from a circling airplane.

Important PSA!

Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut.

That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Friends, Spooky season is upon us.

Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

With the right cut of meat, pot roasts can be SOOOO easy; they’re very difficult to mess up.

I started back in June; I just had no idea they'd been looking for so long before they hired me!

Found out that the boss at my new(ish) job interviewed probably 40 people before I applied and was so happy about my qualifications that he almost hired me on the spot and boy if that doesn't make me feel pretty chuffed now

Dear YouTubers, If you put an AI thumbnail on your video, I will go out of my way to avoid your channel. :) It tells me instantly that you’re okay with taking shortcuts and I can’t trust the content you create. So… thank you for helping me streamline my routine viewing experience! :)

I usually respond with “thank you” and it’s even odds whether I respond in English or Spanish 😂

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

HOLY MOLY! The first 2 chapters of 'Hidden in the Sound,' the more-than-a-little Homeric sidestory FFXV fic that @forgetthelyrics.bsky.social and I have been concocting for ages, is finally up on AO3! --> archiveofourown.org/works/700815...

Mixed media on hot press watercolour paper

A open sunlit field under a blue sky, a wooded cliff close by. Ignis Scientia, Gladiolus Amicitia, Prompto Argentum, and Noctis Lucis Caelum stand closely together in a defensive position out in the open, each looking outward at a number of potential threats approaching them: a docile-looking garula, a pair of crouching coeurls, a voretooth, and several daggerquills. Standing upon the cliff, gazing down at the bros, is a young woman with wild red hair. She wears a long skirt, cardigan, and shawl, and holds a long dowsing rod-like tree branch in her left hand. The green-yellow sunlight lights her from behind, giving her a mystical, ominous aura.
