When I was working in the garden this morning, a cicada landed on my shoulder and stayed there for about 10 minutes while I kept moving around and working. Then it flew over to the pea plant for a photo op. #cicadas

Apparently I look very suspicious to Horned Treehoppers (Centrotus cornutus). This wary little fellow was sitting by the path through Chicksands Wood a few days ago. #Hemiptera #Insect #Bug #Nature

DaVinci and Blender have quickly replaced my adobe pipeline for editing and vfx. Great, free tools that can do everything premiere and after effects do.

Greatly enjoying DaVinci now that I'm learning it. My shop is entirely adobe and each iteration of premier/after effects just gets less and less stable.

Seeing the way IDF propaganda talks about every Palestinian male over the age of 12 as a terrorist, how copaganda treats every Black or Latino man as a dangerous threat, how TERFs talk about trans men; it feels like the underbelly to the queer feminist "men are scum, testosterone is poison" shit.

The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. And I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

CROWN OF SHADOWS (1995) Acrylic on Panel - 28" x 22" There's something in the complexity of an anti-hero that grabs the attention of readers. Such rich characters naturally provide an illustrator with opportunity to revel in the shadows. 1/4

Finally a good essay about the incoherence of fake diversity that whitewashes history by sidestepping the real lives and histories of underrepresented people in favor of fantasies pandering to white liberal adult YA fans www.nytimes.com/2024/03/31/m...

Look at the instruments of death being turned on innocent families. $16,000 1-ton “dumb” bombs that don’t discriminate between homes, mosques, hospitals, militants or civilians. They can penetrate 15 in. of metal or 11 ft. of concrete, w/ a 400-yard lethal fragmentation radius.

the concept of AI represents a direct devaluing of the lower classes….it devalues their labor, their art, and their time, all in service of generating temporary profits to be gambled on the Stock Market AND…the rulers don’t have to actually do anything, perfect for a gaggle of lazy rich fucks

Got a pic tonight I'll never get again. Sitting outside, I heard the weirdest rustling sound from the corner of our patio... When I went to investigate, I spied this. R.I.P. poor moth. But it looks like the li'l salamander is going to feast well tonight. Oh, nature. You are equally cruel & kind.

I love your videos. You really got me interested in learning more about trans history, and queer history more broadly. I never would have gone down a days long jstor rabbit hole learning about medieval cross dressing laws if it weren't for you. So thank you! Also, you're really pretty.

An AI datacenter devours enough water and electricity for a whole city of people each day. A human artist only takes up as much electricity and water as any single human. This is why, even if we settle copyrights and such, AI will always be immoral. Just pay a human.

Still soul crushingly grim to me that the people who invented large language models’ first thought wasn’t “we can use this to get people to do less grueling paperwork” or “we can effectively automate taxes” but instead “finally, something that will crush, dehumanize and factory farm all art.”

Yup, my principals office in middle school had a paddle hung on the wall over his desk. Multiple gym teachers threatened violence as disciplinary action. My English teacher had a switch she would hit on desks and then would brandish it in your face afterwards. This was in the early 2000s.
