Pinned

Ion @violetmagician.bsky.social · Oct 18

I guess you can have pinned posts now so. Hi! I’m Ion, I do a lot of brightly colored designs. I love folklore, and also tokusatsu. I design and sell pins and stickers and whatnot and I do take commissions.

In case you, like me, saw your electric bill more than double.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

It's comfy. I am still getting used to walking around without one eye. But like it's helpful to be able to draw without my eye getting super tired.

Ion @violetmagician.bsky.social · 2d

the scitalis I also really like because I have a soft spot for medieval serpents in general. But I just think the snail is the most eye catching

so, I got an eyepatch to wear at night for my bad eye and it's been helping my facial muscles hurt less too. Turns out it was bad to have to constantly try to compensate for a dropping eyelid and double vision. Plus, pretty nice looking eye patch

Was looking at creatures I haven't done pins of for the Gilbert Baker flag and now I can't decide between a few. Maybe I'll do both 8 and 9 stripe colors...

I don't know, I'm still not really recovering, getting really tired of this months long flare... Have more eyes, I guess, I don't like them as much as the hyper vibrant ones, but I still like them.
