My grandmother was always amazing with animals. At one point, she had trained a crow to help her call the chickens each morning. Here she is as a young girl, painting the toenails of one of her chickens.

An old black and white photo of a young girl with braided pigtails with a chicken and a bottle of fingernail polish in her lap. She is holding one of the feet while the other hand applies paint.

Yeah it just compiles a whole list of meds that have stronger interactions so you can rule them out early! Saves a lot of time if you're currently testing things out.

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

I've had severe reactions to meds like this too. I found out later I had a gene that caused severe gene-drug interactions. Are you able to ask for a genetic test? It is a simple mouth swab and they can help determine which meds have bad interactions and rule them out.

A venue I work at has been trying to hire an event photographer for a while and it's impossible to find someone who doesn't use AI. It's so disheartening

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.

Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

Shadowbringers AU where everything's the same except Emet comes with you to Nabaath Areng looking like this. He only helps by telling you breadcrumb-level hints, and spends most of the time complaining
#art | #ffxivart | #ffxiv | #emet-selch

A drawing of Emet-Selch from Final Fantasy 14. He stands in an overly-bright, arid environment, looking off to the side with an impatient look on his face, possibly speaking to an off-camera Warrior of Light or a Scion. He wears sunglasses and is holding up a frilly black parasol that shields him from the overwhelming amount of light in the area. The sky is awash with unending light, and small light particles float around in the air.

[ 08 ] Free Day

"As long as you remember the things she taught you. In a way, you'll never be apart, for you are still part of each other."

#Erenweek #Erenweek2025
#FFXIV #FFXIVART #Viera #Erenville #Cahciua #art #apricityart

The image is an illustration of a mother and her child. They are Cahciua and Erenville (Elene'shpya) as a child, from Final Fantasy XIV.

The prompt for day 8 of Erenweek was Free Day.
I have made great use of my free will and decided to draw a bittersweet finale for this week's erenweek.

The quote in the description is from Rotter (The Land Before Time) and reads as:

"As long as you remember the things she taught you. In a way, you'll never be apart, for you are still part of each other."

I am neutral towards her music (not a fan, but I don't hate it either), and that alone gets her cult following riled up. I may not hate Taylor but with every fiber of my being I hate Swifties.

Meanwhile, my brother is 1996 and feels like an entire generation away from me. I have more similar generational experiences with my husband (1983) than with my own brother! 90s millennials are weird.

Nolana [Lyra] @sailor-chiron.bsky.social · 3d

I can almost seamlessly blend in with the early 80s millennials until this comes up. Or until the subject of previous presidential elections comes up. I remember someone asking what the polls were like in AL for McCain/Obama and I said idk bc I wasn't able to vote yet and it blew their minds

Nolana [Lyra] @sailor-chiron.bsky.social · 3d

I think I'm in a weird spot in 1991 where I have almost all of the experiences of older millennials except that I have never attended a LAN party.

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 4d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

This is a recent problem for me. I've had petite shoulders my whole life and suddenly in my 30s that's where my muscle likes to build the fastest. None of my cute blazers fit anymore and getting them to fit my shoulders means they are huge everywhere else. And my shoulders aren't even that big??

Ah so maybe the “depictions of fictional violence is the same as real violence” people and “ChatGPT should have personhood” people are maybe the same type of people

Maybe she's trying to speak of it casually to make it less scary for her? It still isn't very supportive of her, but parents are frustrating like that at times.

I am glad you're still around and that you are making steps to take care of yourself.
