This crowdfunding thing, where platforms accept money from all over the world but only people based in certain countries can create campaigns, has bugged me a lot, so I wrote about it some more, wondering if it is a symptom of the colonial economic system that ensures money flows in only one direction. Read about it here, and let me know your thoughts!

The Plight of African Filmmakers Seeking Film Funds

As I researched crowdfunding options for my next feature film, Big Tree, it pissed me off to discover that all major platforms, including kickstarter, backerkit, and indiegogo, allow creators only …

Here it is: The first clear image of an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth, taken from the surface of the Moon.

This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing!

Po dlouhe dobe jsem otevrel XCode, stahnul SDKcka pro iOS a bohuzel zjistil, ze se ve vyvoji pro iPhony moc nezmenilo. I ve svete Swiftu a SwiftUI resim stejne bizarni problemy jako za dob drevniho mobilniho vyvoje. Ten ekosystem se z pohledu DX vubec nikam neposunul.

Ale ja se nedam! Unreleased v nativni podobe uz brzy na vasich iPhonech!

In the small fishing town of Ísafjörður, Iceland, an exciting development in pedestrian crossing safety has just popped up – almost literally.

Speed bumps has been painted that appears to be 3D by way of a cleverly-detailed optical illusion. Not only does the innovative design give foot-travelers the feeling of walking on air, but the 3D painting also gets the attention of drivers, who will be sure to slow down their speed once they spot the seemingly floating ‘zebra stripes.’

Icelandic environmental commissioner Ralf Trylla called for its placement in Ísafjörður after seeing a similar project being carried out in New Delhi, India. With the help of street painting company Vegmálun GÍH, his vision of pedestrian crossing signs became a reality.

What do you think about this Zebra Crosswalk?

google’s latest fuckery: if you write online, read this

The Google app for iOS now adds THEIR links to YOUR posts from YOUR website unless you opt-out.

Their links lead people away from your site and back to Google. Because that’s definitely what you want, right? That’s why you have a blog or portal or web site or whatever. You want people to leave your site and go back to Google.

Oh, it’s not?

If you don’t like it, you can “Opt out.” Opting out is a pain in the ass. Here’s where you go to do it. You have to enter every variation of each of your domains or it won’t work. It will take up to 30 days, during which time Google will continue to pollute your work and your writing and your website with their modifications and their added links to take people away from your site and back to themselves.

For example, here’s the list of what I need to opt-out just for this one blog:
solarbird.nethttp://solarbird.nethttps://solarbird.netwww.solarbird.nethttp://www.solarbird.nethttps://www.solarbird.netweb.solarbird.nethttp://web.solarbird.nethttps://web.solarbird.net
Yes, you explicitly have to file no prefix, http:, and https: variants separately. They say so.

Making it difficult like this is 100% intentional and entirely designed to make it as annoying as possible, and also, to make sure you slip up if at all possible and forget one or more combinations.

(Tho’ I am just going to depreciate web. as a prefix right now, to bring down the load a little. Still gonna list ’em, though, because spite is why.)

Right now it’s only in the Google app for iOS and it’s probably a test to see whether they can get away with it without complaint, and how much revenue it generates. Let’s make that a combination of no and as close to zero as possible. Because otherwise they’ll roll it out everywhere, and probably derank you if you don’t go along.

Fucking hell, Google. Fuck you. Just… fuck you.

This image is called moody harvest, tribute to cinap

It came to me in a dream. Offended parties should know all similarities are coincidental and do not represent any real events.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 7. (Yes, I did skip Day 6.)

A Night Watch Art Challenge for their Beyblades slogan, "If you love something, let it rip!"

In Japanese, the Beyblades anime uses "Go shoot!", so I translated this as「何かを好きならGO SHOOT」.

Sumi ink, watercolour, Japanese calligraphy brushes, watercolour brushes, Western broad nib pens, cold-press watercolour paper.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 5. Carrie cares about the lives of tabs, and so do I. Twinsies?

Italic script. India ink and watercolour on wood paper.

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.

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!

Italic script, ink and watercolour on paper.

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.

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

Time for my yearly Desert Bus 2024 art thread!

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 )

You don't have to be Buddhist to appreciate some zen energy. Remember to breath deeply and often today and take the time you need for you ❤️

I don't think it's a coincidence blue is considered a calming colour.
