'Cellulose nitrate was used to make dice from the late 1860s until the mid twentieth century, and remains stable for decades. Nitric acid is released in a process called outgassing. The dice cleave, crumble, and then implode.' Deception, Fate & Rotten Luck by Ricky Jay and Rosamond Purcell

The White Cat, fairy tales translated by Marie Catherine La Mothe, Countess d’Aulnoy in 1698. This version was published in 1847 but unfortunately the illustrator is identified only as “J.W.”

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure

First the Jim Lee commission price discourse and now this...everyone jack up their commission prices by at least 1k now. All old work you did where you undercharged, send that person a bill for this new price. I'm starting a mob to enforce this. I need our most ruthless goons now!

Discovered that just after I got into photography in 2007 I took pictures of one of the all time Zitron names - Perry. He was a hulk of a creature. He hit so hard, like a tiny punch, and he knew how to use his body to weigh you in and attack. Occasionally very sweet. A titan of the house.

As someone who's born and raised in the MENA and I know heat: do not go outside during the hottest part of the day, do not go for a walk, do not decide to do DIY, do not do manual labor, just do not! You can weed your damn garden at 7pm. Go back inside, turn on the ac/fan, hydrate, eat popsicles.

Actually, the "movie that uses AI to change every time you watch" sounds neat- it's a documentary about musician and producer Brian Eno that uses a bespoke algorithm (not ChatGPT!) to shuffle human-curated clips of interviews and archives to reflect the generative and iterative quality of Eno's work

Some advice after 25 years of work in Egypt/living in AL: 1) Liquid IV is best electrolyte/salt hydration drink (or Pedialyte) 2)If overheated, cool shower, then colder bath (slow temp decrease) 3) Freeze bottles of water. Put between legs (crotch)+ under armpits+ at neck. Will cool blood rapidly

Friends, if your shark conservation advocacy demonizes China and Japan, but doesn't mention Spain and Portugal, you are not interested in a data-driven evidence-based approach to solving the biggest threats to sharks, you just want to scream at Asian people.

With cats, they often lean into it if they’re interested/enjoying it & will start “wagging” their tails as a sign that they’re overstimulated — before moving on to clawing/nipping if you ignore the increasingly swishy tail. (As opposed to dogs, where wagging tail is usually a positive)

if you're interested in being critical of what we call "AI", it's definitely worth understanding more about the history of generative art and who Brian Eno even is. you don't have to "like" generative art, but it does have decades of context outside of its recent unethical uses

The idea that everything has to be a polished piece has single-handedly done the most mental health damage to artists in the age of social media. Not everything you draw needs to be posted. Not all of it needs to be good. Every drawing doesn't need an audience. It's okay to make art just for you.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.
