I watched For All Mankind on my lunch break, which isn’t something I usually do, but according to my watch I was totally relaxed whilst doing so so I might start doing it more often. (Don’t worry stress returned after my 1 hr break 🤣)

Today someone in work literally said to me “tip: put the info into ChatGPT to produce an email” and once again I did not do that and instead thought for myself when drafting the email.

Book Group

The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,
when the books would gather together to discuss Brian.

“It’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly.
“Why doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. “It makes me so angry!” 
“I’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,”
complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness.

“I bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,”
muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.
“That’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another.
“C’est vrai!” came a cry. “It is like I do not exist.”

“Let’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World.
After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.
“Be quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.
“Here he comes now!”

Brian entered the room, with his phone.
He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.
After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities.

On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,
their silence speaking volumes.

In celebration of World Book Day, here’s a poem called ‘Book Group’.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Single panel comic depicting a man holding back his lounge curtain and looking out of the window where a fire appears to be raging. He is saying “Linda, the horrors next door are persisting again”

Chris Miller: Some clarification here: "no green screen" doesn't mean "no VFX".
There were, in fact, thousands of VFX shots in the film (2018!)
Green screen is sometimes used in lieu of building sets or figuring out locations/lighting in advance, which can be noticeable if not done carefully, and is something we didn't want to do. We built the entire interior of the Hail Mary ship - but within the ship, there were still wire and puppeteer removals and ceiling replacements, etc. When Ryan is outside on the hull of the ship, we shot him in front of a black background for space and a shifting hue background when he was up against the aurora of a planet which allowed for truer interactive light on him than a green screen would. The wide space exteriors and spaceship shots were entirely digital and beautifully done by ILM. Rocky was a seamless blend of puppetry and animation from Framestore. And other great work from many more. It really does take a village and we had the best of the best on our side.

We got Pokémon FireRed the other day and my husband moved the Switch to our living room so we could enjoy playing it in the main room we use. I started my game today. I’m a diehard Pokémon Yellow fan as it was my first game so I always find it weird when I can’t choose Pikachu. Squirtle it is!

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

The psychic pokemon natu, best described as a green orb with piercing eyes sits atop a crumbling old temply, covered in moss and vines and ivy, parts of the temple float in the air, there are more temples in the background hidden in the mist. The day moon is high in the sky.

forest temple | 2021 full color pet portrait commission

Two dogs in adventuring gear preparing to enter a temple entrance with a tree grown through it. One stands resting a sword on their shoulder, propping themselves against their shield at the entrance. The other holds to vines on the tree, climbing the ruined steps towards the entrance. A bunny and squirrel look on from opposite ends of the piece.

Petition: Nationalise water companies to make water a non profit publicly owned asset To make water a non profit making national asset that ensures we have a secure water infrastructure that ensures our water security for future generations.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75... I’m not sure if this is even possible but as somebody somewhere said “you can have clean water and you can have privatised water but you can’t have clean privatised water”.
