BANNED BOOKS WEEK Oct. 5-11, 2025. Censorship is so 1984 - Read for Your Rights. ala.org/bbooks. American Library Association

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

To #Bluesky Users With Dormant Mastodon Accounts Come on back. Please give Mastodon another try. Maybe you created an account a couple years ago, but you found the technology too clunky, people too bossy, or engagement too limited. It's changed. Solid technology, 500 character posts, Edits and Quote-Posts. With your help we can build a powerful truly decentralized public social media counterweight to centralized corporate media. #FollowMeToMastodon [Please share on Bluesky]

just gonna leave this here. my current masto is @sillyplasm@cyberpunk.lol but I will certainly make more and will tell you when I make more accounts. see you there!

I'm dying holy shit 😭

update it has only gotten worse

might also make some other mastodon accounts since it's generally advised to make multiples in case an instance goes belly up (rip lemm.ee)

guys go follow me on mastodon! I'm @sillyplasm@cyberpunk.lol

a screenshot of openutau showing an example of notebending.

I'm talking about note bending though. where people use the notes to tune. like this

Health Canada put out an alert regarding acetaminophen in pregnancy… reassuring pregnant people that it’s safe and that untreated fever can harm a developing fetus.

Feel free to save the link to send to anyone who’s scared after Trump’s ridiculous autism announcement:

I mean. yeah. but it's particularly hard if I need to do a tempo change or something. I make a project file if there isn't one 🙃

yeah I was talking about note tuning 🥹

I'm gonna go make a mastodon account. this shit stinks

i love having gripes related to my niche hobbies that not many other people will get 🎉

istg people need to normalize releasing untuned project files for singing synth (openutau, synthv, vocaloid, etc.) because it drives me bonkers every time i have to manually remove all of the stupid notebending so i can do my own tuning 🥹

We do deserve better. But jerks are so bloodthirsty for us right now, even major news orgs were ready to blame us for a shooting by a guy who hated our guts. So here's a sticker you can buy at ko-fi.com/s/17a9899053 because I deserve to save up enough for a new iPad (mine is crapping out) Thank you!

Something isn't right...again
(I just realized that I forgot to post them here :D)

i need to disappear and disappear and disappear

i am a parasite.

do you ever want to remove your vocal chords and hands so you can never communicate ideas again? that's how i feel sometimes.

Early stages of an acrylic painting of a Halictid bee.

No students showed up for my afterschool art class today, so we're making the most of it with this pollinating Halictid. 🎨

I have an acute aversion to the color orange (especially living in the US right now 🫠) but the underpainting method has been helping brighten midtones/improve realism.

The difference in 5 years!

2020 VS 2025

the "lol" means this is unserious. move along.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green, who is reading something on his phone with keen interest. Blue: So, what did you find out? Green turns away from his phone screen to look at Blue. Green: Did you know that some whales' blow holes are shaped just like any other mammals' nostrils? Blue: I meant about when that store opens. Green turns back to his phone, as Blue looks at him, speechless. Green: Right! I forgot to look it up!

i am stupid. i am undeserving of love. lol

might also try using mastodon more since bsky has been mass censoring anything mentioning the guy who got shot yesterday. pretty obvious why that's bad.

Guys I just got my clear vinyl Haunted Home stickers and they came out so amazing 😭🧡

Render practice.
