You know how Jaybin was very "pat-patable" so there were always one or two panels where other characters patted his head? So, I actually need this to be ultimate Jason's ability to charm anyone to want to pat him on the head, to the point it continues even after he becomes a double-fridge. Once his helmet is not on him, everyone is just... struck with an urge to ruffle his hair. And it doesn't matter if they are older, younger, or shorter — everyone just want to do that.

Jason brings kids from streets to Leslie to check on them and help to settle down with new families? Leslie asks him to lean over here and pats him on the head, ignoring his flustered face. Jason cooperates with Two-Face? Get a random pat-pat.

The worst part? Kids do that, too!

One moment, he is squatting in front of a kid, cooing at them, and in the next moment, they softly ruffle his hair to thank him for help. And this is embarrassing.

Jason, muttering: I think I am cursed

Dick, worried: What? Why? What are the symptoms?

Jason: Look

Jason, making his way to Tim, who flips through files: So, birdie, I got rid of the trafficking ring you asked me to take care of.

Tim, without getting distracted: Thanks, Jay *reaches out to pat him on the head*

Jason: SEE? THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. WITH EVERYONE.

Dick, stifling a giggle: Well—

Jason, calling Talia at midnight: Are you sure there are no side effects of Pit sounding like this? Sure-sure?

Talia, tired as fuck: I think I would notice that, Jason.

Jason: THEN WHAT IS THE REASON.

Talia: *hangs up*

Jason, pacing in the Cave next to Bruce, because he is a) also insomniac; b) is the greatest detective, so he should be a help: There is only one theory that stays unverified, but it is too unbelievable

Bruce: Hm? Which one?

Jason: The one that means that I am just cute like that. Ridiculous, right?

Bruce: *tries to fight a smile*

Jason: No. No. SHUT UP.

Bruce: I didn't say anything, lad.

Jason: I HEAR YOU THINKING FROM THERE

Bruce, amused: Okay, I'll think quieter.

By now, there's lots of people have heard about the internal CDC memos for all newly prepared manuscripts (like future scientific papers waiting to be published):

There's so much to comment on, and I'm seeing it all right now. What the state of science is. What this means for the queer community. All of that.

But fuck, I think I might genuinely start crying over this. As a transgender biologist, this feels like a brutally personal blow. I slowly accepted my gender alongside my biology education. The more misinformation that was spewed about "biological sex" by mainstream media, the more my professors, colleagues, and primary sources would casually drop information that proved they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm not an expert on sex determination, gender, or transgender biology specifically by any means. But my worldview has been crafted by my studies in genetics and molecular biology.

Engaging with this research helped me demystify transition. It helped me optimize my transition. It helped me explain how HRT and other steps of trans healthcare work to other people. And it helped me overcome my own internalized transphobia, and finally start transitioning, despite knowing I wanted to since my preteen years.

Who knows how enforceable internal guidelines like this will be. But its certainly going to scare a lot of researchers away from transgender healthcare and science in the coming years, and that breaks my heart.

There's a lot I can say here, but fuck. I just needed to vent for a moment. Fuck.

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

Interest check

So, another interest check for data! Please fill out the following form if you are interested in participating, and the pinned post for information! If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask!

For slight clarification in case anyone may be confused, there may be two types of mixed groups.

One is for people who are both artists and writers, and you'll have both art and fics circling around in your group.

The other is collage/web weave style, where a writer can add a little to a canvas, then an artist can add, etc! [If you are still not sure what this is, please look up a collage/web weave!]

Interest check will close at 21:30/9:30pm UTC on May 5th!

Feral Fidget Friday: Late Night Edition

Someone please send me a Sharpie, I wanna play Connect-The-Dots

[thegreatyin]

fact #1: the scoundrel is a notorious cuddler

fact #2: the scoundrel is extremely shameless about being a notorious cuddler

fact #3: the bandaged scoundrel and the rosette yearner are, in every way but and yet also including literal, The Exact Same Person

fact #4: the rosette yearner was far more repressed than her future self, despite probably sharing many if not all of the same traits and preferences

fact #5: therefore, it is not a significant leap in logic to assume that the rosette yearner was secretly just as cuddly as the scoundrel, if not even moreso because she had no outlet or ability to express this properly

fact #6: the vake yearner is a clone of the rosette yearner.

CONCLUSION: someone needs to cuddle that murderous snowwoman so we can determine whether or not she still carries those notorious cuddler genes™. For Science.

@autismfox @arthur-lesters-left-eyebrow the entities fighting for custody of Arthur post is a fun joke and a silly post but I am having to restrain myself from looking up how custody cases work right now and it's both of y'all's fault. and also writing out why each entity thinks they should/others shouldn't have custody of Arthur.

Help me with my dissertation project? ♡＾▽＾♡

For my final year project, I'm carrying out an online study on the impact of face masks on face and information processing! I need quite a few participants, so I would really appriciate anyone taking the time to help me out 💞

More details:

The study involves watching some video clips and answering some questions.

It takes 10-15 minutes.

There are some demographic questions (age, gender, ethnicity, religion), but you are not asked for any identifying information (name, email, phone number).

Needs to be done on laptop/PC.

There is an optional prize draw for a £50 Amazon voucher! 💸 (you need to give your email to enter, but you don't have to if you don't want to)

Please comment or message me if you're willing to help and I will send you the study link!

Working on my javascript for my web page. Turns out I have the perfect kind of setup to accomplish some of the project requirements, specifically with even handlers and user interactions

My website, conceptually, will load a different employee details page depending on what employee name is clicked on. But I need to load it dynamically (instead of hard-coding it) so that the user can add or delete employees & it'll be able to still load the relevant shit.

So! Only one employee details page, but depending on how it's loaded, it'll load a different employee's information. Still working on getting down Exactly how to do it (I'm thinking using URL parameters that'll read a different object depending on what ID is used)

It's entirely doable. In fact, it's probably extremely common to do in web pages. No one wants to hard-code information for every new object. Of course not. And thus the usefulness of dynamic javascript stuff.

I can do this. I can very much do this.
