Wow. FB is used by old people here, say the young ones. But insta is also part of meta, so lol. It's kind of disturbing how powers throw money around like that...
On the 2024 European Equal Pay Day, we reaffirm our commitment to build a Europe where women and girls can thrive and where their contributions to the labour market are fully valued.
To start out with, some work I did for @DB_VST ! From left to right, paintings for call-ins, a representation of ORB and string-worms, and a new Beer O'Clock icon!
Illustrations in watercolour, text in ink, on 160gsm wood-pulp watercolour paper.
(Note: The bottom text is digitally composited from 2 attempts, because I messed up the first time =V )
Julie (@sugarsh0t) shows her true colours right from Day 1.
Ink, broad pen on calligraphy paper, with paintbrush ink splatters. This is the first time I use this Strathmore calligraphy paper—it takes ink beautifully well and has a wonderful texture.
This piece exists *in spite* of Night Watch and the membrane clarinet. @ihorner, I'm not mad at all, nope. =V
Desert Bus 2024, Day 2. When Original Jordan (@RayFK) crosses Jordynne the Upgraded, Jordynne (@sick1y) makes her feelings known.
Had some fun trying to both get a good consistency of watercolour for calligraphy and mixing that "lightly oxidised blood" colour. India ink and watercolour, broad nib, on Strathmore parchment paper. Foundational hand and textura quadrata script.
Desert Bus 2024, Day 3. The crew read Am I the Bushole stories, and suggest alternative recourses. Dan Wu's proposal is, it turns out, occult—and accidentally poetic?
I made the mistake of picking a thin calligraphy paper to do wet-on-wet watercolour, but turns out the buckling, once scanned, enhance the ritual!
Desert Bus 2024, Day 4. Dan Olson is a thoughtful person. Welcome to the unhinged madness that is Desert Bus for Hope; please come again!
I felt like the words speak for themselves and needed very little. I edited and formatted them into a contemporary poem, and added a little accent. That's all.
India ink and watercolour on textured paper. Italic script.
If you are on a good Mastodon instance remember to support the person who keeps that instance going, like with money if you can. For the spot on Mastodon that I hang out in you can toss some coins at ko-fi.com/kindsocial
And here we were thinking of buying an SSD the worth of a house. Oh well, I guess that dream got broken. LOL. Also, there are a million reasons for not doing what we do every day, but yeah.
Oof, how did that happen? Also I am fan of hard drives, not SSds, mainly because they spin, and because the sound is kind of soothing if the hard drive is well-made. SSD is just like, nothing, silent. I have a 500Gb one, and it works, it's okay, but only if I need to use it for a VM from time to time. I won't deny the faster speeds though, also there should be some care of these ssds and whatever. I am not sure and I don't understand so I can't say much on it.
Also, that's not how you should write price tags, haha. Hey, that's also a lot of money here, like multiply by 2.15 and wow. I am not buying one any time soon. Goes way over my sallary.
It was the best of #DoctorWho, or it was the worst of Doctor Who - but can a story be both things simultaneously? Find out as we discuss The Web Planet:
Doctor Who was only twelve stories old when they decided to mount a production as ambitious as The Web Planet, but was that a mistake or was it a decision justified by the enormous audiences The Web Planet achieved? Our thoughts on Schrödinger's Doct…
If anybody is interested, I now have a blog. I'd very much encourage you to check it out, and let me know what you think. hailymerry.substack.com/p/a-so…
I would check it out, but substack sucks. As a company, as an app, bleh. I'm sorry. I hope it kicks off though and you enjoy blogging, so I wish all the best. :)

Today is Wendy Carlos' 85th Birthday. Her work on TRON was beyond brilliant. I listened to it at least weekly as a kid and I am listening to that same tape today.
The Global Voice brings together an international team of broadcasters, producers and radio journalists to present for you a wide range of entertaining and informative programs.
Highly recommend taking a look at @DavidDarnes blog posts for implementation. I started with that as a base then chopped it up a bit since I can hardcode a bit of it.

yikes, bsky removing or labeling Palestinian accounts as spam, ostensibly because they are following too many people or posting gofundmes, but according to these threads the problem looks too widespread to just be a coincidence from e.g. automated flagging. Can't find any response from their mod team. Composable moderation is good but i am not sure how the atproto labeling model addresses the baseline problem of scaling suspensions/bans - either they take a very light touch and you get a flood of nazis, or you need to lean on automated tools or overworked mods without enough context which has (hopefully accidentally, but still really bad) impacts like this.

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago.
Bluesky is almost an exact copy of X, a centralized dickland. We really should just stop sheering for and jumping on these same toxic boats over and over again.
I rather prefer that people stay on X than that they go to Bluesky bragging believing they did a good thing.
I understand that you want to promote your product everywhere, but keep in mind that you might loose some if you're having to much parties on certain boats...
The English language is difficult, which can create confusion around certain words and phrases. Here are 10 commonly mispronounced phrases that make smart people look uneducated.
I've never heard half of these said incorrectly, they sound like Americanisms. Others are obviously homophones - baited and bated are obviously already pronounced the same.
'Mute point', 'tender hooks', 'Biting my time', 'Chock it up' and 'Pass mustard' would be grounds for divorce here.
