Hairspring

I love that I not only immediately know who you mean but also agree with this assessment fully.

my other hot take on birth rate discourse is that I really really don’t much care for seeing specifically *cis men* casually chatter about it.

"Game that was secretly harvesting all your discord messages now looking for some good PR" is probably a better headline

Shoutout to a certain company, who, when I said that I needed either a short hiatus or longer deadline for a series I had already TL'd almost 20 volumes of because I was getting severely burnt out, simply reassigned the series and dropped me from the roster without so much as a farewell 🙃

Trans people get straight up One Piece time skip glow ups IRL including the wild and fabulous outfit changes that lack fear. Seeing it in live action One Piece is perfect on a level I was never expecting and I'm SO HERE FOR IT.

Dealing with this months Kaiser fuck up has me wanting to turn into a fifty foot tall coconut crab and walk into the ocean.

fujoshi are a sign of fertile soil, like a parasol mushroom in your potting soil. when you see them, even where you may not expect one, you should be grateful for their presence. it is a fortuitous sign of growth to come, and an inspiring reminder of their resilience and adaptability.

I want that ramshorn silly hat.

Also now I really want to see your moms weaving!

I genuinely think that a lot of people think "I don't know where this came from so it must have been made start to finish by a machine."

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

recent-ish knights-errant sketches, the maiden, Oswald, and Na’ilah (2021,
2024)

starting 2025 off with a sketch of Oswald in rutger hauer’s costume from flesh+blood #knightserrant

Folks really don't know how to be normal to someone they think is a tiny blonde girl.

Definitely helped knowing at the time I had that hair for a character who would have stabbed those guys in a heartbeat though. lol

Honestly? His hair getting shorter 10000% makes him easier for me to cosplay. Using my real hair for his ancient design looked good but got me misgendered and treated more weirdly than any other hair I've ever had. Mind boggling how different people acted.

Yesssss. Yessssssssssss. Do more Knights Errant pages! I am biased in that I want to reactivate the brain worms so that I'm driven to cosplay Oswald again.

If something seems too good to be true, look into it. Often it's actually a scam and someone being underpaid and hidden from your view. At BEST it's full on mechanical turk time. At worst it's slavery.

No different than gas prices going up in anticipation of the possibility of increased back end costs long before anything actually changes.

I'm not saying production at scale doesn't have advantages or that it's not a cost saver for real non human rights violation reasons. But I am saying that the real cost and time saving is an excuse to ALSO under pay people and claim the savings is all mechanical and not the exploitation going on.

Mass production generally speaking, is human labor you're not looking directly at. It's not magic. It's not "all machines". Most of it isn't even THAT automated. Anything at all being mostly by machine is incredibly new. Like last 50 - 80 years new.

I was thinking about how absurd it is that I've run into so many weavers who think you can't weave with homespun. Then it got me thinking about how many folks don't really understand mass production.

I just want to play pokopia......

A group of about twenty purple and wavy tentacle-like fingers rise from orange fir needles covering the ground. This fungi is named purple spindles for good reason. This group of spindles stands about eight inches tall at its highest.

This weird fungus is Alloclavaria purpurea, better known as purple spindles. They're so tentacley!

I want a game that's basically Red Dead Redemption from the perspective of the horse. A horse simulator where by sheer coincidence you're owned by a series of gruff bearded men on ill-defined quests for vengeance, a different one each chapter. Gruff bearded men come and go, but Horse is eternal.

There's a lot of places that auto reject too basically. So that's also "fun".

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
