My shrink said I have excellent coping mechanisms for the *gestures at everything* and my next appointment is in two months. I think I got an A+ in therapy, y’all.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art spirits. There are six of them. The one on the far left is a white spirit with a gray face, seven black eyes, and a grinning mouth full of five sharp teeth. She has two twirly white wisps coming out of her head. She's sitting on a small pink chair. Next is a black spirit with a gray face, large round golden eyes, and purple lips. She's covered with embroidered purple flowers. She has two black twirly wisps coming out of her head. Next is a green spirit with a red face, large twinkly yellow eyes, and an open mouth with two sharp teeth. He has two green antennas with red veins. He's covered with embroidered red flowers. Next is a pair of ghosts. One is white with a gray face, twinkly black, and an open mouth full of teeth. She's covered with pink flowers and yellow markings. She has two twirly white wisps. Standing on her head is a tiny white ghost with a gray face, pink flower eyes, and a little frown. She has two little arms. Next to them is a black spirit sitting on a chair with a gray face, twinkly red eyes, and a little frown. He's covered with white, yellow and purple stars of various sizes. He has two black wisps embroidered with a line of white stars. There's green fur in the background of the spirits, and they're on a galaxy print fabric.

Meet my newest creations: the Gloom-Wilders. I designed and hand-sewed them, and I hand-embroidered all their flowers, stars, and markings. They're a family of spirits who live in a haunted woodland (haunted because they live there).

Actual question: has the β€œwhy are you the one who should write this” reached the point where we have to only write about locations we’ve personally visited? Because I have an idea for a horror movie set in Scotland but I don’t have Scotland money. Or a passport :P

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature β€” but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

"Grammarly curated a list of real people, gave its models free rein to hallucinate plausible-sounding advice on their behalf, and put it all behind a subscription. That's a deliberate choice to monetize the identities of real people without involving them, and it sucks." @caseynewton.bsky.social

It’s a pity because XPRIZE legit has STUPID money, they’ve funded a lot of cool shit in the past (I was hired to edit a few documents for them through a staffing agency in the before times)

Future Vision XPRIZE Win $2M+ depicting a hopeful and optimistic vision of the future with a sci-fi sizzle. Show the world a future worth building.

Big sci-fi film funding competition... that excludes screenwriters by asking for a 3 minute trailer. Sigh.

Well, here you go, writer-directors... #scriptsky #UKscriptsky

Parisian Crawl [7.5"+] | Peculiarity Shop I did not make this one, I sourced it. The cost on it was a good deal given that sterling is going around $90 an ounce and I knew I could find it a home at a fair price to our audience. Brand new, nev...

I fully expect this piece to sit a while before it finds its person, but I think when you see it you will understand why I fought a whole bunch of people at an auction to have it.

DMV/Arlington friends, this lovely gentleman had to flee Afghanistan after building a delivery app business with 300,000 users there. He’s starting over building an errand-runner app, message him on LinkedIn to be one of a refugee-owned business’s first customers: www.linkedin.com/in/masistani...

Hey. You know how the AI grift has been teetering on the brink of financial collapse and taking the whole economy with it?

Well.

Guess what all those AI slop data centers run on.

Diesel generators.

"AI is the future & is all good & not bad for us but someday it might turn all powerful & destroy everyone who criticized it so we should be nice to it now & also you can't prove it's not conscious but it's fine to use it like slave labor" is an amazing collection of thoughts to fuel a movement.
