Image of a search result website falsely claiming that J.R.R. Tolkien created the Shavian alphabet.
Horton hears a BITCH-ASS LIAR
AI hallucination moment. Tolkien invented a lot of writing systems. Shavian is not one of them. 🤦♀️
The Shavian alphabet was created by Ronald Kingsley Read and named for George Bernard Shaw, who funded its invention. #factcheckfriday
It was a mistake to leave me unsupervised.

HSV makes the most sense to me so I always use it. I use the sliders and the color wheel for different things (often jumping between them or having them open together) but both are in HSV mode. That said I really haven't *tried* very hard to figure out how HLS works.

Prices are still the same, open till filming and work gets hectic, which could be in April. I’m still working in healthcare.

I will probably make a newsletter featuring eslr biology someday. Honestly, I could probably write a convincing textbook or article.
"Comparative and Evolutionary Morphology of Eslr" or something like that.😂
191 cm (about 6'3"). His weight is...a very interesting story. While he generally looks the same, his mass/density can vary a lot. It has to do with mass-energy equivalence and eslr biology. The fact his perceived size doesn't change is due to some quantum entanglement stuff I probably bastardized.

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.
Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅

There's also a lot of moving parts and server costs associated with marketplace type pages with trending updates and stuff. It's a huge investment and often requires a website to run ads to support it.
This is coming from my experience working on Artfol as a volunteer tester.
Ironically I think that is why ko-fi's ambassador said they think a discovery page doesn't gel right with their mission. They're a donations platform first and a shop platform second. They don't want a Trending page or algorithmic suggestions bc you become like an ecommerce site or a social media.
That said, the person i reposted is right about the fact that it's free to talk up the artists you like and repost their stuff, and creators who stick to platforms like Ko-Fi rely entirely on word of mouth and networking to make money and that's why I reposted it.
If you're someone who prefers the passive discovery model and makes most of your income that way, than maybe a donation website with very simple shop features isn't really what you need...i think the ko-fi ambassadors have a point. Shoot me I guess.
Anyway, i actually like ko-fi's very minimal and simple approach that relies on word of mouth especially since i feel like the marketplaces, tags, and algorithms never benefit me anyways. Sites that don't have them make me feel less like a failure compared to other shops.
Webcomic creators - ComicFury needs our help! ComicFury is basically the last of the old-school webcomic hosting sites and the mod Kyo needs more financial support if he's going to continue. If you host on ComicFury, I encourage you to support Kyo at patreon.com/comicfury or ko-fi.com/comicfury! 🐊📖
Also as someone who was rejected by vgen for not having enough engagement/success online maybe I just hate hearing about how much better it is.
I'm petty.
LRP: two things. 1) never knew Ko-fi had that stuff before.
2) not a fan of how people are saying this is "driving people to vgen" when they're pretty different tools/platforms. Ko-Fi is a tip jar with some shop features. Vgen is more like Fiverr.
So Ko-Fi has confirmed they're not bringing back the search/marketplace feature. All discovery has to be done on your own, which super sucks.
For any fans of Ko-Fi creators, now more than ever, word of mouth would really help! It's free to do and can make a big difference for those creators.

This feels so in-character for Torkoal especially (and I am mostly thinking of the times I've seen Torkoal in the anime)
Whenever the government asks "should companies/banks/the gov't be able to ___" the safest response is "no"
Whenever the government asks for more power, and you aren't sure what to vote for, pick "no." Never give up something when you don't completely know its value.

This is why it's so hard. I can't just hit "record" and then work for 45 min. Phone's always got something wrong. 🥲
Battery. Screen burn. Glitches. Storage. Bleh. Too bad my dad's video camera is from 1999. I think it still works but its resolution is equivalent to a Nintendo DSi 😂
I think I still have that desktop tripod.
Also I will have to figure out some kind of workaround for my phone's full storage. Like I might have to record 20 min, then move that file off the phone, continue, repeat.
*realizing I have to lock in and record myself properly before I can apply for Marmalade Handmade* (they require some amount of real time process evidence) (recording videos is Hard)

Happy #MAR10Day, here's a Peach I only got halfway through before my shift ended and I went home lol #princesspeach #art
