Simple way to knit Fair Isle and other stranded colourwork by using one strand of yarn instead of managing two strands at the same time.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead

Minor and near-invisible. Super light character look polishing (scale, nails, lashes) plus a lot of stuff making goosing easier since I regularly document rp events.

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

Growing up in a time when โ€œselling outโ€ was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Final Flowery XIV 4.0 (WIP)

The largest portion of the flowers found in FFXIV have been completed in the flower language guide. I will continue to add flowers found through gathering, quests, and vendors soon enough.

If you see anything incorrect, or think is worth adding, please comment.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
