My stomach sank a little when my dad asked me what an OTP was…

Turns out it was just a function on his new phone that would delete a different kind of OTP after 24 hours

You as well!

Noice!

Nice! What did you get signed?

The desire to DnD is strong after seeing so many booths dedicated to it and dice after el Expo

“This indie project is WAY better than this indie project”

Nah. Don’t do that.
I see it too often, you’re allowed to critique a show, but ALL indie projects take a lot of time and effort, just say you like an indie project without the need to knock another one down.

Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the one ring.

Similar to Sam, Jenny Dalby from Ranger’s Apprentice could pretty easily resist (which there was more art of her and that she appeared more throughout the series).

I made sure my beard was trimmed the way McGregor had it in Ep III

Grazie! I think my proudest moment was when someone asked to take a picture of me 😅

Got back from Fan Expo Chicago today. My feet may be dead and my brain may be tired, but at least I got an autograph from Justin Cook!

I think one of the most exciting things that can happen while training one aspect of your vocal range is stumbling upon a different level you didn’t think you were even capable of

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who or Transformers.

The question is: how will the election of this new pope affect the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918?

Oh hey, new Pope

Past year of my life until recently…………..

Gotta love it when parents treat you as either an adult or kid depending on what is more convenient at the time…

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

I’ll have to give it a read at some point, I hope you’re doing better now, though

Worm hours

I recently started a day job to pay for bills/a hopefully soon moving expense, so I think I’ll have to remember to embrace the warrior’s rally when I awake even before the crack of dawn

But yeah, it’s amazing, all the love!

I love this so much! Everything about it! The prose, the pace of the writing… gah! It makes me so happy to know I at least hold a partial inspiration to this work.

I very much look forward to other any other work you have or will produce!

Just saw a commercial for Fanapt and… other than the eyes, why the heck was the animation so good???

That really squeezes my orange juice

In light of everything that has happened today, don’t let it slip your minds that Trump endorsed a cryptocurrency (with 80% held by CIC Digital in subsidiary Fight Fight Fight LLC) that was worth between $50-72 billion before crashing three days before his inauguration.

To all my friends and followers who are trans or Nonbinary.

You are valid
You matter
You are loved
Don’t give up
We will survive

When I began voice acting, I decided to be open about the fact I was trans to spite those who said it'd kill my career.

Now I do it to spite those in power that want to say I don't exist.

I'm still here. WE are still here. And that will NEVER change.

Trans rights are, in fact, human rights. Pass it on
