i'm #addicted to saying "which could mean anything" about things that clearly have an extremely specific intended meaning

. which could mean anything

doodles i dont remember posting here yet

Child’s cape. Twilled peacock blue woollen cloth, embroidered in cream silk thread, with a cream tassel on the hood; Anglo-Indian, 1860-70

being an adult means I can use my big boy money (which is supposed to go towards stupid things like rent or food but who the hell does that) to force people to look at Melly.

look at her. she’s simply so Shaped

Thing is- it works both ways. The chat can see the streamer in the other world. A few DM each other, they're all seeing it. It looks real. What if it is real? What if the streamer asks questions they don't know the answer to? What if the stream goes down?

You have the streamer on one side living in a world completely alien to them, trying to survive. You have this group of mostly randos to each other on the otherside, suddenly invested in becoming a better support team than the apollo crew had. There are shifts, people buy reference materiels, some are trying to code redundancies or find a way to move the stream to a safer network.

After someone poisons the streamer by telling them a mushroom was safe to eat when it wasn't (in their defense, the stream had a lot of lag at the time!) they make a rule they have to post references for all advice to prove it's not made up and to give other audience members a chance to fact check

This spawns an incredibly large and specific open-source library that's more fiercely moderated than wikipedia

post #1: glaze and nightshade aren't actually effective against ai and all they'll do is waste electricity while making your art look worse

post #2: LISTEN UP TUMBLYPOOS. there's this little thing you need to download called nightshade

It is interesting how it becomes taboo and seen as a betrayal of the cause to learn about the things one opposes in a lot of social movements devoted to opposing things.

This is clearly true with the way the anti-AI art movement is defaulting to labeling any technical knowhow about AI (even stuff that could clearly be used against it, or at least direct effort away from false leads toward more productive ones) as techbro shit, but this pattern is hardly unique to them. You see it everywhere from socialists refusing to learn about economics to evangelical Christians refusing to learn anything about the beliefs of the people they're trying to convert.

I suspect there's an element there where the faithful observe that people who know the nuances tends to agree with them less on their more extreme views, and because they take their beliefs as a terminal moral good, they conclude that knowledge is itself a corrupting force

My dearest followers and mutuals and friends and lovers. I am going to extend one deadly serious question to you on this beautiful afternoon.

What is your #1 video game recommendation

OP is a realtor and there's a new editor who is a post-00s generation at his company, and OP asked her to cut out all the superfluous words he was presenting about the apartment

'I asked our new 00s at work to cut out all the useless words, and she did a really good job.'

i don't really want to see this retconning of neil gaiman's writing where people are re-analyzing stories like "look...you can see the message under the surface...showing how he was actually abusive IRL...it's all there..."

idk maybe we should just listen to people when they speak up and say they were abused and try to foster a culture of respecting victims and actually enforcing justice against perpetrators instead of doing this weird fucking da vinci code-esque picking apart of his stories. stories which everyone was fine with for decades!! because we understand that the content that people write and produce does not have a 1 to 1 correlation with their real world actions!!!

i fully support people who cannot engage with his work anymore and i do think that because he's a still-living person it's imperative to not give this guy another cent, but we cannot pretend that everyone was just "too dumb" to see the secret clues and turn this into another case of "what you write is what you endorse." plenty of dogshit people write good stories. plenty of good people write dark stories. that's all.

This is one of the best photographs of any subject in any style. This shot helps justify the existence of photography.

one of the tags I see/asks I get the most related to GIF making is “how do you GIF that fast?”

I’m by no means the fastest creator out there & it’s not a speed test anyway, even if it feels like it sometimes. that being said, I’m obsessed with efficiency & my neurospicy brain doesn’t like monotony. if there’s a way to automate what I don’t like so I can skip to the good part, I’ll find it.

there are a bunch of things I do that have streamlined my process over the years, but if I had to choose only one? creating actions.

the moment you find settings you like (sharpening, sizing, etc.), make. an. action. I don’t even want to think about all the hours I wasted before I figured out how to make them.

I created actions for the two GIF sizes I use the most: full size (540x390) & half size, or two GIFs side by side (268x400).

with one click in Photoshop- let me repeat, ONE- the following is immediately applied:

with all the repetitive work done for me, I can focus on the thing I love most: COLORING 🌈

it’ll take a minute to learn how to create your own actions, but I swear it’ll change your life!

the origins of the “what are you two FUCKING talking about??” meme is almost funnier then the meme itself

this is call for everyone to watch snapcube's real-time fandub series (all of these are improvised with 0 script whatsoever)

I wanna make sure this is clear, this scene DIRECTLY precedes the Eggman “IVE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT” scene. Like this scene ends and he launches into that rant
