Hey #PortfolioDay, I'm Echo and I make chibis, pixel art, keychains, and sometimes doodles!

These are standard ML tools we’ve been seeing for years and if they are using gpu and npu cores on device they are actually the ideal way to implement probabilistic modeling into a feature We must stay aware of how companies still are gonna name things in a way stock goes up without being “slop”

If you’re in STEM and you’re eligible to vote in the midterms…YOU BETTER BE VOTING. I want “I VOTED” sticker selfies in the comments. This is an unconstitutional robbery of our scientific ecosystem cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

we've heard your complaints about yellow paint, and we have a solution

did they seriously add a way to opt out of starter packs, but not a way to easily find the ones you're in?

also I really needed the announcer to enunciate the A in Anima more

yes i dont believe our limits in the physical world are an opposing force against pure creation, they ARE pure creation. if your dream song is performed it in a way that is not 'perfectly' in sync with that dream, then the most honest and beautiful version is the 'wrong' performance, not the dream

so I guess I'm getting a tooth pulled and hoping I don't need an implant later to prevent bone deterioration in that spot or something because medicaid doesn't think that's important, either :)

hi all! this is really difficult for me to talk about, but the store is in danger of closing before the end of the year. you can read more about what happened here: www.mayakern.com/blog i'm at a point where i need to ask for help. 👇

I think any like two of these details would be fine and look cool. But this is Too Many Things and they all visually conflict with each other. I need to go do some Link cosplay in Nikki, I guess, which understands when to show restraint. And to not put leather on leather.

Mr Beast: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the most dangerous game Richard Connell: hey wait a second

someone forgot to finish rendering these birds

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

even now, she's still teaching us

medicaid not covering root canals is really fucking stupid

welp

finished my doodle! Sometimes working on a clean piece must be compensated by doing sth messy (and vice versa)

compilation of favorite video game locations pieces I've made over the years - all 5x7" ink on claybord I think i started during first lockdown in 2020 with the Secret of Mana piece (non-exhaustive cause carousels are limited to 10)

The Pleiades dragon Any more space dragon suggestions? Inspired by beautiful photo made by talented galactic. ben #dragon #dragons #dragonart #artistonbluesky #space

Saw a video about making fantasy bunting and I think I have a new project if I can just summon a shred of ambition... If I can't paint my walls, I can still hang things up.

these stupid "reasons posts were blocked" accounts now make me paranoid about unfollowing or blocking anyone because apparently that will be tracked and publicly mocked but too bad I guess, I need to at least attempt to make this site less existentially depressing

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

Sometimes we come across a story so compelling that we just want to shout READ THIS at everyone nearby. "Silence, in the Doorway, With the Gun" by Nadia Radovich is one of those stories. Read this!

My story about knitting and hope is out in the world! I wrote this in a moment of frustration and feeling powerless, and it was my way of staring my despair in the face and saying "No." I hope it's a reminder that creating, resisting, connecting, they may feel like small acts, but they mean so much.

I'm delighted Small Wonders gave a home to my story about carving out little areas of joy and connection in a post-climate apocalypse world. I wrote this at a time I needed a reminder to look for light in the darkness.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.
