Hey, I'm teaching a class!
Sign up to join this two-part online workshop in June through @pocosinarts to learn about my approach to narrative sculpting, how I construct, refine, & hollow a piece, + my tools and techniques for creating tiny finishing details!

dang
to be clear, the original puppet is entirely dickless, the effect includes creating dick where none previously existed, not the pixelation itself.
The puppet was dickless!
I was really committed to a "do it in pre" approach to this film and am happy to announce that one of our only significant post VFX was adding pixelated dick to a shadow puppet.
thank you, @lanawolverton.bsky.social

(i am actually not sure, about two shopvac cleans! but i also have a wall mounted dust collector that does most of the dust collecting and have not cleaned that one out as it is not yet full)
taking apart our puppet film sets and rebuilding some into smaller "self crating" boxes for my thesis exhibition!
well, pi is a smaller number than both 14 and 20. 😂 (also i love this, you are all a delight)
ooooh that one is good
The most helpful any everyday technology has ever been is GMail's "You wrote 'Attached is' but no files are attached." reminder and I don't need any tech to be more intelligent than that.
My vintage leather case wasn't up to being unzipped more than five times, haha.
I'm going to try a pelican case with carved out foam! It's definitely not the vibe I am going for but at this point I will be happy if I don't have to troubleshoot it every time I arrive somewhere.
This feels like a very Bluesky coded question : does anyone know of an existing off-the-shelf case that fits an Olivetti Lettera well and snugly? The sturdier, the better - it's likely gonna travel a bit.
(I have an OG case but it is in not great shape!)
Crushing it!!! Congrats, Em!!!
ooh, which theatre?!
Genuinely wish this was real because my puppet pals would have a field day.

Hey PDX pals! I am seeking recs for Portland, OR dessert spots (or restaurants with great dessert) that are intertwined/working with the local food justice community.

the sardines care! they are just confused. 😂
Attention Worldcon community—we just realized that the nominating period is open for this year's Hugo Awards. We have been finalists twice before (2016, 2017) and our 2025 album Dead Channel Sky—a dystopian cyberpunk rap rave—is eligible in the Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) category
1. for post-KS sales, both a Deernicorn TikTok going viral and a feature in Threads Magazine(a huge sewing mag) were significant bumps for A Mending.
2. Someone with a huge audience that would be receptive but not in the TTRPG field. Guillermo Del Toro?
