I continue to be incredibly fucking baffled by the number of youtubers and fan artists going, "The problem with AI is that it monetizes somebody else's IP without them getting any of the revenue stream! Anyway if you want to commission me to draw a Disney character the info is in my bio."

I seriously don't see how they cannot grasp the connection, it seems impossibly obvious to me.

It is weird to literally make your living (Or your side hustle) monetizing somebody else's artwork and then make PSAs about how bad it is to do that.

It's like if back in the day it had been a bunch of Napster users sharing the "You wouldn't download a car" ads.

Hey you! Arknights player who is totally representative of the playerbase at large? Do you have opinions? Do you want to form opinions on things you never thought about before? Inspired by (stealing directly from) this Tom Scott video:

Who is the best arknights operator? (best is left ambiguous intentionally, IDC how you vote, although I'd prefer there to be a reason.) The poll is hosted at:

https://arkpoll.nyansequitur.gay/

(Leaderboard will not populate until an op has at least 5 votes one way or another.)

all the flats for the scenes! josie was fully in charge of backgrounds

and design references for all of the main characters!

characters are (left to right):

fan (inanimate insanity)

needle (battle for dream island)

leaf ball (supernova specialization)

pitcher (open source objects)

firey (battle for dream island)

firey's design belongs to ghostlyglooms (the author of the fic), pitcher's design belongs to joltning.

additionally ^_^ here are the (named) side characters that appear within the first part!

these ones are more obvious than the last but for good measure (and this time they're all from BFDI!):

coiny

pin

leafy

coiny and pin's designs are by ghostlyglooms. all uncredited designs are my own!

if you've made it this far: check out the toyhouse profiles for extra info, images, and the other units! beware of spoilers that are either currently AO3-exclusive or (only for non-petrichord characters) not revealed at all within the fics.

i feel restless and bored and i want Interactions but 🌸 is out running and no one is posting in any of the discord servers im in and if i call my mom she'll want to talk about the surgery i had this morning and not my important thoughts about weaving

[flashhwing]

hate when i have multiple things to do so instead of doing any of them my brain refuses to pick one and does none of them

I need to finish a training module for volunteer work, clean my apartment, and prepare for dnd all by saturday. so of course i'm doing none of those things

also i am in the middle of one book but just received another one that i'm itching to read. so instead of reading either of them i am watching a show

Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet). 

"Simple Sabotage Field Manual" by United States. Office of Strategic Services is a historical publication written during the early 1940s, amid World War II. This manual acts as a guide for ordinary civilians to conduct simple acts of sabotage against enemy operations without the need for specialized training or equipment. Its main topic revolves around promoting small, accessible forms of resistance that could collectively disrupt the enemy's war effort. The manual outlines various strategies and techniques for citizens to engage in sabotage that could be executed discreetly and with minimal risk. It provides specific suggestions for targeting transportation, communication, and industrial facilities to create delays and inefficiencies in enemy operations. The manual emphasizes the power of many individuals acting independently to contribute to a larger campaign of disruption, encouraging simple acts such as misplacing tools, delaying communication, or damaging equipment with household items. Overall, the "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" serves as a unique historical artifact that illustrates grassroots resistance efforts and the belief in the collective power of ordinary people during wartime.

"and some historians have diagnosed his feelings for this attractive, able courtier as surpassing those conventionally allotted to friendship." You can't just say that, you have to tell me which historians.

It’s midnight when hunger comes around to me and sharpens itself on my tongue, eroding itself into more and more caverns, structural decay, hard candy mingling its sweetness with blood where it cuts my cheeks to ribbons, shreds, hollows.

Cravings haunt like covered mirrors- blackberry, a sweet that has long enjoyed the protection of thorns, blue raspberry, a fruit than never grows, never needs to protect itself, rootless, seedless, fruitless, sweet. In my own body I see my own foundations and take hollow honor that they exist, take no pride that I can see them. Take nothing at all. Watch my hallowed hollows haunt me.

I chase all my aversions down and attempt to drown in them- bitter as a single sip of beer, of coffee, as an excuse to leave the rest behind and stay empty. The hunger stays, cravings like a hand pressed reaching deeper and deeper into thorns to draw blood, hands around what meager sweetness that rewards me for it.

It becomes a trial to remain upright with so few places yet to empty out. Structural decay. Collapse on call. You are not meant to live like this, I know. My hands are not ones that leave projects half finished, I know now this is also a hollowness I will seek someday to fill. I am learning to be idle, I am learning to devour.

I'm trying out a new writing program bc jotterpad gets sad if there's more than 4k words in a document and also doesn't have free cross platform syncing, and. I keep closing out of the new program, doing something and coming back to keep writing, only to open the old draft of what I'm working on in Jotterpad and Immediately have a panic attack about how much progress didn't get saved (because the progress was in a different program)
