Quick sketch of my dog, Layla.
She's a really good model because she was asleep for 90% of the time I spent drawing.

Problems with pharma don't mean that quackery works.

Problems in aircraft design don’t mean that magic carpets can actually fly.

Such a shame. Oh well.
Stick 'em in the retirement home and give someone new a chance.

Okay, I started a new diary and made a bunch of separate to-do lists, and I'm working on a flowchart to explain how all of the tasks are interconnected and which tasks need other tasks to be done before I can start on them.

Maybe it will work this time.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

The song "Your body is a wonderland" really hits different when you study biology and know that you are covered in things like Demodex mites that live on your face and don't have an anus so eventually fill up with faeces and explode.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Today marks two ongoing years of the Palestinian genocide. 67,000+ killed, 20,000 children, families pushed from home to road to rubble. Lost distant relatives, friends, and many people with dreams all because of an apartheid zionist policy. Free palestine today and forever ✊

Dear gaming industry: I got to speak now, as the siege on Gaza is entering its 8 day. I always thought this industry wanted to be better, most of us would consider ourselves liberals, critical thinkers, and hell even artist. But let me tell you: I'm ashamed of your silence.

If you make authentic early 2000's sounding D&B music and don't mind working for revenue share, please shoot me a DM. We're big fans of the soundtracks for Unreal Tournament, Rush 2, and Metroid Prime, if that gives you an idea what we're after. #indiedev

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I've met Blessing a few times outside Delaney Hall, where her husband, a home health worker, has been held for months. Her baby Princess is the sweetest—loves being held and grabbing stuff off my snack tray.
