β€œIt’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

So sorry to hear that, I know you've had a rough experience with Covid! I hope everyone gets better soon.

Oh god, this brings back memories. Pisco Sours. Inca Kola. Some kind of chocolatey liqueur that I can't remember the name of. Ceviche and all of the other gorgeous, gorgeous food. Yum.

I haven't seen Deadwood yet, although I've heard so much about it. Firefly will always be the show of my heart and I'll always be angry that it was cancelled.

This is a tough one. I'd have to add BSG, Carnivale, and The Expanse.

Exactly, it's very invasive. The UK is now talking about banning VPNs since so many people are using them.

It's a kind of tapestry thing that hangs behind the bed (which is really messy because I toss and turn all night, haha).

Ambulance bills are rolling in and I had to replace the hot water heater, so if you are looking for developmental edits on a novel, I might be your girl. You can query me via DM here, or on my form: ecatherine.com/about/editing/

Okay, time for fun.

Go into your photos and post the first image that makes you literally laugh out loud.

Here's mine.

"...people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create..."

This is LITERALLY what the internet used to be. The whole fucking thing. Every piece of it. Stem to stern. That sentence right there. We were just on here, doing stuff, just to share with each other.

This needs more work, but my eyes are done for the night. I'm trying to post more art, as I don't post enough of it aside from book cover reveals. #bookcoverart

I work in a call center of an unrelated field to payment processors, but everything mentioned in this thread is 100% - it is theoretically very easy to make disrupting waves large enough to get these companies' higher up attention.

Please read thread, and go forth empowered.

That is pretty damn cool, I like that. Don't tempt me. :D

That is interesting - as is housing. I might have another peek. :D

Well, I used my face scan to verify age for Bsky (that being the least problematic option) and they verified me - probably with a JFC YOU'RE OLDER THAN FUCKING DIRT, HERE YOU GO, GRANDMA. Sigh.

I'll never raid again, those days are gone. For the rest? I think about going back to solo through xpacs, but when I've tried it just hasn't felt the same, or maybe I've changed. I still have dreams set in those lands though, which is weird.

Oh, wow, this whole thread. I haven't played for a while, but there was a time where the game was everything and I miss those days. It truly does feel like a place where I once lived and I miss it so - but can never go back because it wouldn't be the same. I'm not the same.

I have lived in the UK for a very long time and I still hate the bathrooms with a white-hot passion. (Except for power showers, they can stay.) I mean, I miss full-size refrigerators, clothes dryers, etc., but trying to wash my face in a bathroom in England really irks me.

NSFW artists have done more for your online spaces than businessmen have or ever will. Support them, rally to them, but most importantly, remember to offer ongoing support where possible.

Pay someone to draw weird art for you today. Don’t wait. Grab a friend and get some weird art together.

She was kind of indignant that I'd disturbed her slumber. :D

Black cat sleeping in bed next to a sleeping man

Black cat sleeping in bed next to a sleeping man

I woke just after 3:00, read for hours while P. slept, and when I went upstairs to the bedroom I found a traitor sleeping in my spot. This is the face of a cat caught red-handed.

Hahaha, I just read that out loud to my husband because he haaaates the way I play. Superior punching ability beats dodging any day (at least in my book). :D

What to do when your child hands you a drawing they made:

1. Insist it's the greatest work of art ever.
2. BEG for more, if they want to.
3. Proudly display it somewhere. Fridge is fine. Inside a frame from the dollar store is better.
4. Save it forever. Show it to them 5y later.
5. Don't do this ↓
