Rachel

Certainly my work colleagues only go to the pub when someone has organised a Work Drinks and they all know that there must be Dinner for Rachel if they want me to show up.

It feels a bit like it's warding off the other flags a few streets away 😔

One of my (white, male) neighbours has put a flag up in his window and I actually appreciate this one because it's the EU flag 🇪🇺

A whole bunch of us have grown up in the UK knowing to flee in the other direction if we spot this flag anywhere. We’re not going to pause to see if there are stickers stuck below them.

And if they’re stuck elsewhere, we will not get close enough to see the text - again, we’re just going to leg it.

I don't think I have ever encountered one that wasn't delicious

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

by the way, mastodon's decentralisation actually Just Fucking Works. 75% of mastodon users can and do tell Eugen to go whistle.

decentralisation is inherently a user PITA. but if you are someone who actually wants decentralisation, mastodon has it and it Just Fucking Works.

I probably spend more of my time on mastodon than I do on bluesky, though it would be nice if more people I already know were there too. It's different to bluesky and I like it, though I get why it's not for everyone.

IMPORTANT

All freelancers, self-employed, creatives

This is the first I've heard of this, but the Department for Business and Trade is running a consultation on the scourge of late payments, they want to introduce new legislation to tackle poor practices

Show us the last four albums you listened to.

Turns out it's all new albums

PINHEAD: the box - you opened it. W-

ME: hey man can you give us a second? we're kind of in the middle of something *turning to my kids* so when you find an artifact and you don't know what it does what do you do

MY KIDS: *in unison* dont touch it

ME: and what DID you do

MY KIDS: touched it

the regular audacity logo on the left (a waveform between two headphones) and the REAL NEW audacity logo on the right (flat style red headphones, where one of the headphones is a half-circle to fit with the rest of musehub's design Thing. It simultaneously looks extremely generic and like a sperm cell is flying out of a semicircle)

WHY DID THEY GENTRIFY THE AUDACITY LOGO

The Online Safety Act sure has made being online more dangerous.

oh ho ho that's what YOU think

dunno maybe just me but Excel does not seem like a place you want vibes instead of actual exact and correct numbers?

Does at least give you a hint with where to put your mouth 🤣

The Fall shop update is live !! 🎉 maylee.shop

Haven't done any pure design work in a while, I wouldn't mind doing some more!

arteries and nervous system bunched together with zip ties like it's a clean cord management setup

this would fix me

It’s pouring rain. Tom says this is Goldberry’s washing day, so the hobbits stay indoors while Tom talks. His lore seems not only to embrace every beast and bird and tree, but to reach back into the ancient starlight—‘Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn.’

YouTube video by ChvrchesVEVO CHVRCHES - Bury It ft. Hayley Williams

Ten years since Every Open Eye came out?? Which means next year is ten years since I wrote, storyboarded and co-directed the video for Bury It: youtu.be/B9BLMNn0PrQ?...

Mood. This is also part of why I still use the same handle that I used when I was 15 - anyone I've know online over the last 20+ years can look me up easily.

SEX GHOST CANDLE REFERENCE STAR TREK HIVE RISE UP

Ugh this. I've witnessed family members able to take the sheets off, launder them and then put those now clean sheets *back on* the bed however many hours later. When I do it, I must immediately put different sheets on the bed while I'm a whirlwind of bedsheets vibes

Is it time to remind you about the almond milk?
