I like tech, art, jewelry making, and caring about things and people. and music.

What’s the right balance between things that matter and things that are pretty? I don’t fuckin know, you get what you get

i have me some vaguely Christmas earrings now :3

are they identical? no. are they as identical as i wanted them? also no. but they’re close enough given how organic my approach was and you won’t be able to tell once I’m wearing them.

photos of that tomorrow maybe, i’m ugly and tired today.

Please stop playing Fortnite if you support the continued existence of Trans people.

If you've been playing up until now, you have the power to show them that their willingness to support blatant Transphobia comes with serious consequence to the size of their playerbase.

please trust the people who tell you you're beautiful? please trust the people who say they love you, and that you are lovable? please trust the people who say they want to see you, and who are happy in your company?

you believe all the bad things about yourself; try believing the good things.

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

Reposting this thread for anyone still in search of Christmas gifts (last orders on Sunday for those in the UK)
On November 17th last year I sold my first enamel pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com in an attempt to create a new stream of income that might eventually cover the expenses of trans healthcare instead of perpetual GoFundMes 🏳️‍⚧️

As we approach the anniversary, I'm going to celebrate one design each day

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Here, and in reels on Insta, content creators seem unable to say his name. They describe everything that happened, what a hero he is, and not mention Ahmed al Ahmed's name. Really impressive effort, guys. Absolutely astonishing to watch in real time

Mixed media: coffee, graphite, and gold leaf on Arches paper.

The first piece to surface from the Labyrinth.

In pale marble, she carves a tree.

In 2024 animation was almost 25% of the box office.

Any studio that would act like "We don't need to have 25% of our profits" would be seen as insane and their CEO would be ousted immediately, so I don't know why other people who think animation isn't a worthwhile investment aren't also shunned.
Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

We're social creatures. We need feedback. Without it we go feral. No matter how moral or ethical or good a person is, you can't maintain that empathy without interaction. Past a certain point of wealth, you stop getting meaningful feedback from society and it warps your reality.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury
