artfight revenge on @squidlykitten !

[id: a digital illustration of a figure with her arms raised. she is pale, with white eyelashes and blue eyes. there are three dark dots under each eye. her expression is distant, eyes narrowed and lips slightly parted. her hair is long, light blue, and fluffy, cascading down her back. her ears are animal-like, with light blue fur similar to her hair. she wears a short dress with a pink halter neck and a sheer skirt in pastel sunset colors. her legs are furry from the low waist down. a pair of ribbons flow from the back, the ends adorned with a crescent moon and gold beads. at the neckline is a matching moon and gold pendant. on her wrists are multiple gold bangles, and multiple rings adorn her fingers. the background is purple, with swirling smoke and an incomplete gold circle framing the subject. end id]

My dad is a kroger manager and sent me this (repost without personal info)

they thought 1 lb stood for “one little bean”

"I'm sure this has been done before"

Yes me too but I want to hear your interpretation. I want to hear your play on it. I want to see how you connect the dots, how you shift the puzzle pieces and make them fit. Show me it through your eyes.

Some studies and OC drawings

God what i wouldn't give to have the sheer stamina and work ethic of my next door neighbor. Every morning, 8am, the hammers and drills come out. he's putting up shelves. he's feeding cables through walls 6 inches from my pillow. He's putting together furniture. He's making smoothies. He's 74 years old. Does it piss me off? of course. But i have to admit that he is clearly also the superior being. I need The Substance but to turn me (anemic 20-something with the constitution of a consumptive Victorian child) into this absolute beast of a man

Met this same neighbor today as he was effortlessly hauling his bike up 4 flights of stairs having just finished a 20 mile bike ride and i (masked and bedraggled) explained that I'm on the tail end of a cold but venturing out as I've run out of food, and he was like "Aww no!! 🥺🥺 If you ever need me to pop down to the shops and do some shopping for you just let me know!!" like Steven, that is SO kind, truly, but I have to draw the line at you doing Meals on Wheels for me right now. what i actually need is for you to come with me on a Back To The Future style adventure and somehow make you my biological grandpa because my current genes are simply not pulling their weight. can you leave me your zest for life in your will, Steven. Steven please

"you can use ai to improve spelling and grammar"

if you’re wondering why spellcheck and grammar check is worse now, it’s because they replaced it with AI! 🥰

now, instead of maintaining a comprehensive, nuanced, and human-maintained encyclopedia by which to check your document, they have switched to an AI that just compares what you’ve written to what other people write in, say, Google Docs, and use the most commonly used iteration.

ever have it change something like “all intents and purposes” to “all intensive purposes” or “should’ve” to “should of”? that’s why!

people make the same spelling and grammar mistakes so often, AI thinks that’s the way you say it because it is a PATTERN DETECTOR and cannot THINK let alone use language.

"you can use ai to improve spelling and grammar"

hi. just a reminder it’s easy to forget which parts were you and which parts were armor that grew skin

but if you’re wondering you’re not gone you’re just buried under who you had to be.

love, someone still unzipping the disguise

Dwarf fortress best fortress

seeing artists with skill able to rival the masters of the craft have to price their commissions criminally low because the market has been destroyed by people who don't think art takes any skill, abundant genai rhetoric and usage, as well as every government out there wanting to fucking kill literally everyone so those who do want to support artists can't afford to, is. kinda uncool! i think
