Super jiggles, haha.

Oh obsoletely! Funny enough I did four cakes with this set and three were done with the spray+flour method and somehow the spray only (which had been a disaster before), was what worked best!

So sometimes it’s even just how you spray things 😭 so much error haha!

Juliana Xavier ✦✨🌻 @juliejubz.com · 10h

Omg YES! Like I got these and the first things I made with them were jello and those looked absolutely gorgeous. But the cake gets stuck especially in parts it can pinch!

My theory is that the one that came out easily was because I double sprayed and second time was gentle sprays?? But no idea!

Omg I was SO ready to give up on these silicon molds for cake??? I still have no idea what made it work exactly but now I need to experiment more, for science!! Haha.

And here’s the jello ghost test, which I accidentally mixed the wrong ratio, so he is extra jiggly 😅

waffles.

Digital illustration of a paIistinian woman, wounded with tears streaming down her face only to be blocked by a bright blue butterfly that covers her mouth and most of her face. Blue chains, explosions, waffles, blood, paIestinian flags being erased in the background- their color “bluing” out with the notification “deleted account” over them. Like and repost notifications scattered throughout different sized wrapped bodies. Over her head, a single dollar bill is wrung out, dripping blood down onto her. Below reads, “waffles.” Commentary on censorship.

Kody is one of the best people in comics. Full stop.

You won't find anyone kinder, friendly or more supportive of the comics making community. He's been one of my most reliable friends in comics for years and someone who well and truly deserves all the support in the world. Lend a hand.

Basically all my freelance work came from social media.

Since I’m from a third world country and these jobs came from other parts of the world… at times I was able to save enough money to travel; which I am eternally grateful for.

I just finished season one of My Dress-Up Darling and I gotta say, the show caught me completely by surprise.

The animation in it TRULY makes the show, and I am so excited to know season two hypes that up even more?? Can’t wait ✨♥️

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 1d

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 1d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 1d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

Henry is mob wife Birdie's right hand, paying off an old debt for protection from cops & the hardship of queer life in the 50s.

When Birdie’s husband returns to town, Henry must decide how much of her soul she can sell - and if she would drag her partner Nicky down with her.

#DVpit #DVart #GN #A

A stark black and white comic page. Across the top, an elegant queen in a black dress stands in a spotlight, arms extended out to her audience.

[Birdie's nightclub, 1940.]

She bows, diffused light and stage curtains swirling around her in a dreamlike state.

In close up, Henry - a scruffy teenage butch with bruises on her face - watches from a window far above. Her fingers barely touch the glass, momentarily distracted from her own dangerous predicament.

"Are you nuts??" someone behind her snaps, too loud, and Henry flinches away from the view. Back to reality.

The same room Henry's in, but from the opposite side. She's so small, against the enormous windows. Two men argue on the other side of the room - a larger man in a suit, and Dickie, a thin, weak-chinned guy in a tuxedo, missing his jacket.

"Bringing this here?!" he's saying, "I don't care whose vig they made off with- this isn't how we *do* things!" His arms are spread wide in furious gesturing.

His companion scrubs his face in his hands - "You think I don't know that?"

He gestures wide, and his shadow is thrown huge and intimidating against the wall. "What I didn't know, right," he snaps, "was they had a *girl* runnin' their whole operation!"

"Even if it is some kinda pervert-"

Henry averts her eyes. Her cheek is bruised.

"Wha- hey, how's that *my* problem?" The thin man stammers, holding his hands in front of him as if to fend the whole thing off. "I mean, look at *you*, pal, blood on your shirt- and here anybody coulda seen you!"

Henry's head snaps to attention as the muscle pulls his companion aside, conspiratorial. "Look, Dickie, I don't wanna spend my whole night buryin' this kid."

The man has a wide hand over the back of Dickie's neck. Henry's skin prickles at the memory, disgust curling in her gut. The hand squeezes.

"I'll throw my back out again," the man is saying, distantly. "Can't we figure something out?"

Henry stumbles forward, clutching at the front of her shirt with its broken buttons. Trying to find her voice. Speak up in her own defense. Anything. "H- hey-"

An older woman leans against the window sill at Henry's elbow, looking down at the same stage that Henry had been just moments ago. Henry starts at the sound of her voice.

"What's your name?"

The woman who addresses her is much older. Elegant, with a coiffure of long graying hair pulled to one side of her face . She watches Henry patiently, but expectantly. Like they have all the time in the world for her to answer.

"It's... Henrietta." she manages, stumbling like a school kid over her full name. Torn between flustered and afraid. She looks away, biting it all down with her arms folding in front of her. "Just call me Henry."

"Henry..." the woman muses. "Well, Henry. If you work for me, you'll need to work hard." She gestures down below them, to the crowd at the club's tables. "Pull your own weight and then some."

Below, a butch woman in a waiter's white tuxedo serves drinks. Birdie continues- "This isnt a charity service."

Henry knows opportunity when she sees it. Defensively, she huffs - "I'm no moocher. I can work."

Head bent to her cigar, Birdie smiles. She heard, of course, what the men said before. A girl, running the whole operation. Right under their noses.

"I'm sure you can."
