🎃 Nadia 🏳️‍🌈 @goldenirises.bsky.social · Oct 20

Hey! I'm Nadia!

I draw a lot of Spider-Man, my OCs, and other miscellany — especially costume designs.

Currently fixated on:
🕸️ #windowverse (Spidey AU, including some clone stuff)
🔥 #scratchverse (my own superhero setting and characters)
but sometimes other things pop up too.

A drawing showing two superhero-style costumes side by side.
The person on the left is labeled "Scratch" and is six-foot-two. They are wearing a sleek skintight black costume with a horned helmet that has a dark bluish purple toned visor. There is a flame-shaped emblem on their chest, and their knuckles are padded. A long stripe curves down either side of their body in sunrise colors, ending at their sporty shoes.
They hold a fireball aloft.

The person on the right, labeled "Geckonyx" (a combination of the words "gecko" and "onyx"), is a full foot shorter at five-two, very slight, and is wearing a similarly skintight costume but with either a matte turquoise helmet with golden heart-shaped visor or a mask that reveals her lower face and the top of her head. Her costume is a gradient of green and turquoise, with patches of glittery bronze across her shoulders, arms, chest, hands and knees. Her mask has bulbous gold lenses, and her shoes are similar to climbing shoes. Her gloves have white palms with he fingers cut off to expose her sticky fingertips

A cropped image of Peter Parker looking sullenly at the camera. His slightly curly dark brown hair is slightly mussed and brushes his forehead. He looks tired, with a hint of bags under his eyes and a slight pout.
His thick yellow sweater comes up nearly to his chin, barely hiding the red of his Spider-Man costume underneath.

Behind him is a wall with height lines on it.

I like making books about GIANT ROBOTS.

You probably like reading books about GIANT ROBOTS.

like other editors do kind of have to be hardasses about a lot of medical articles because people can, will, and frequently do try to put (sometimes dangerous) misinformation into those articles.... so yes people with actual expertise will be harsher about randos' first time edits

🎃 Nadia 🏳️‍🌈 @goldenirises.bsky.social · 9h

some editors are just jerks but there is no such thing as "their editors" - every editor is a random person like you and some do act in bad faith or revert accurate information or are too strict about guidelines, but you can like... report that lol
also more sensitive articles are more strict.

"i tried to add facts to an article and their mean nasty editors wouldn't let me!"
did you provide sources? were your sources legitimate, or some random blog post? did your sources include experts' conclusions, or were they your own personal layman's conclusion, which is completely unverifiable?

🎃 Nadia 🏳️‍🌈 @goldenirises.bsky.social · 10h

It's certainly more reliable than LLMs and chatbots

i read and skim a lot of academic studies (medical, etc.) on places like JSTOR but for (usually) more parsable and less intimidating info, wikipedia really is invaluable and obviously a lot more approachable than a 100 page study for most people 😂

Wikipedia labels uncited information, links to many sources and outside info, and usually has talk pages per article with contextual convos or debate (which can be very entertaining when you get the conspiracy theorists crying about censorship when told to provide tangible sources)

in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård shows up for the London premiere of his new movie “Pillion." He's wearing a sleeveless white dress shirt with a black leather necktie and black leather pants with metal grommets down the crotch. He's also wearing black leather boots. A black motorcycle is behind him.

It's #WorldOkapiDay! 💙

Okapi's also known as the "forest giraffe" are from the rainforests forests in the Congo Basin.

Although their numbers hard to determine in the wild, experts believe that populations continue to dwindle due to deforestation, poaching, illegal mining and other human threats.

Muscari or grape hyacinth are bulbs that flower in springtime. They produce clusters of delicate, bell-shaped blooms in various colours, in this case blue.
