"people have always thought B because they believed A and A->B. not A. therefore??? not B???" is a formula I can only describe as dumbass
mamas don't let your babies grow up to find emotional succor in platitudes from internet strangers
i did inktober 8 but i don't like it so i'm not posting it
i've always scoffed at this kind of thing but I just thought about "rebar sickle" and now I desperately want to make one https://lawlessforge.com/
like.........it's not like i'm wedded to the idea of patriotism as a moral duty but, uh, if you were going to move your allegiances to a *worse* target, one thing you *might* do would be
bf asked if i was going to put something in the middle and I felt quite hostile to that but now I'm realizing it might be both cute and functional to diagram in the moon phase
in The Daily today: "Mark Zuckerberg used to pump his fist and say 'company over country' at the end of every meeting" ?????????
stamps use ink, this is partial credit
didn't ink for inktober today, but i did order stamps for my little personal-wheel-of-the-year calendar marker guys, so that'll be cool
writing sample of diamine's shimmering seas ink to show the level of glitter. blur intentional where present to show the sparkle
us people: if you've got a little cash and like the idea of supporting local journalism BUT don't think highly of your local paper, check out your local NPR station.
🎼 there is no way to QUELL 🎵 my 🎵 deSIRE
i know we get real snippy about john oliver not coming out and saying "all this has been wrought by capitalism, it is capitalism that prevents even the smallest of improvements I suggest to you" but i gotta say it is still nice to have an accessible nontechnical explainer on PFAS I can refer folks in my life to now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W74aeuqsiU
this is what you get for going with the non-union shop, blick
fedex has again stopped trying to pretend they want to get me my package
awwwww it doesn't even work on chrome. i don't typically care when things don't work on safari because safari exists to hurt me but i want things to work on ff and chrome both :(
if you're doing something simple, you can use white as a background and just layer a couple of colors -- but for more ambitious combinations you probably will want to use a neutral midtone as the background and then add darks and lights over top
then you grab the generated svg out of the html inspector
if you want to play around with it i made a paste of the javascript dealio i was using to try settings. https://pastebin.com/Xka3jApr then in the console you do stuff like window.addColor("blue", "#0025f5", "-40.5"); window.addColor("pink", "#ebafae", "-45.5"); and play with an order of statements and offsets until it looks cool, refreshing to get new sample images
this isn't actually multicolor dithering in CSS because i don't know how multicolor dithering works but you gotta admit it's somethin'
oh just WAIT till y'all see how this one works
no actually standing around alone sober at a beer festival is great and not provoking any feelings of alienation at all thanks for asking
more experiments with CSS dithering. I need a better image to show that it's not monotone dithering
i hate it that people are talking so much about "veneers" as an insult. like it's not enough to not have bad dental hygiene, it's not even enough to not have "bad teeth", you also have to have actually grown up in an area with fluoride in a family with $$$ for dentist so that your teeth are Authentically Bougie
where does one ask questions like "how do i get music from my nextcloud instance to scrobble to last.fm"
why did claire's in the mall smell exactly like this toasting piece of my dad's rosemary whole wheat bread
"bot" as an insult is fascinating
apparently it's supposed to be nos solem numquam videmus? idk sounds fake
this weekend my bf witnessed my mom and i reciting "iterum pluit--semper pluit! nos numquam solem videmus!" and he didn't immediately run for the hills so that seems good
skatebird is really good but also i'm really bad at it. sorry little guacamaya
we had a marionberry pie to celebrate the last of the berries the devil hadn't blasted, and I wanted to bring duck fat in place of a michaelmas goose, but the store was out, which is... reasonable I guess. not exactly a staple
prayer/meditation at intervals to intentionally take yourself out of the cotidian flow of time: powerful stuff
my mom is doing a retreat thing with nuns. she's praying the hours, which is way more everything than where I'm at, but made me think about how https://maya.land/reenchanted-time/ needs to not just consider rhythms of the solar year and the moon and the week, but also the day
happy michaelmas, happy mabon: i have returned from celebrating with my parents.
update: in youtube comments it looks like people like (derogatorily?) comparing ghost to ABBA. this... does not capture what I like about it.
hugely anticipating the azealia / grimes track
you know how ghost and volbeat are kind of.... pop metal? is there a name for that genre? https://everynoise.com/ is pretending it doesn't see how poppy they are
pagination is for cowards. make your markup lighter if you care so much.
i have always suspected there was something fishy about how "streaming leads to a winner-take-all environment" when that's the exact *opposite* of what it's done to my listening habits. if I were spending $/track, I wouldn't have branched out as much as I have into metal, balkan brass, synthwave, whatever MONETOCHKA is....
tongue-in-cheek trend-piece style take: we're gonna see a bifurcation between women who were partnered during the panda and those who weren't in whether they go back to wearing bras
probably no one will care because that game is.... never going to come out :( :( :( :(
i don't know if this is worth documenting with all the screenshots but i do feel semi-proud
we figured out from the skyline where in seattle the ventrue dude in the vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2 trailer had his shiny corporate office
i will never get over true blood's wiccan character's "blessed be" where "be" is given the pronunciation of a diphthong. is it authentic? is it inauthentic? i have no idea
"I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, but the church does not deserve them." a vibe
my prude little child self was shocked and appalled by elvira: mistress of the dark, but it was definitely good for me
wouldn't it be cool if the government put money into creating resources in the public domain? open source software, textbooks, actually funded public radio...
seattle needs a help line "why are there fighter jets in the sky today"
combichrist covering the dead kennedys: w o w
i want leprous to tour here again :(
"elizabeth bathory was innocent" is probably the most fun weird take i've gotten on board for
