Sometimes you just gotta get the thought out of your head and on the screen. Then you can stop thinking about *what* to reply and go on to thinking about whether or not your life will be better for having posted the reply. Can't do that if it's still rolling around your brain using up a chunk of your working memory trying to find the right words.

@Phorm

Congratulations!

Good luck, hope it screams when you're done!

I've been drawing myself with big hoop earrings lately. I should get my ears pierced again and start matching that aspect of my self-image.

@n0ctilucent

more delicious frustration at being restrained!

I don't want to outsource my thinking to a machine.

I don't want "art" averaged from some aggregation of actual artists' work.

I can write my own fucking emails.

I can write my own fucking code and design my own fucking games.

And I want art that comes from the brains of human artists. Who feel and whose soul goes into their work.

All this stuff is clever and I am sure there are uses for it but the things that are actually valuable in life can't be reduced to a fucking prompt.

That first clause creates interesting context.

@Phorm

Seriously.

@Balina

every single doomed schlub in a From game just going "yip yip yip, woo yip yipyip wheehee yip", the disturbed giggles are unedited however

@Balina

Especially the super serious ones.

@Phorm @nycki

I'm thinking of opening for some quickie commissions soon. Probably just limited color stuff.

“And then there was Brandon. Poor Brandon. He had to avoid mirrors even more than the average vampire. Most of us, we just don’t reflect. Not Brandon. He reflected all right. As a six hundred year old corpse. Poor fucker wasn’t even eighty years dead yet.”

@JulieSqveakaroo

Good luck 💜

@cstross

*sighs at her one friend on bsky who left masto in a giant huff because she is a doomscrolling addict who got angry at people asking her to cw the politics and selfies that make up about 75% of her posts*

@nelson

Both are true, imho.
