The Arachnid Aeolian harp. This shimmer isn’t a ghost on the path, but a single spider thread, attached to the forest floor and reaching up into the darkness of the trees. It vibrates, but doesn’t break, in the storm.

This is what I do: when I collect my SSRIs, I wrap one of the boxes separately. Then when I'm about to run out of the others, I order more meds. My GP allows enough wiggle room for this, and it means I know if I have to come off them because of lack of supply, I can do it safely.

Spending money I don’t have on emergency supplies that will keep me alive long enough to suffer without all the medications also keeping me alive because you can’t stockpile those 🎉

Another dark times pro tip: if you ever forget a dose, try to order your new batch at the same time you would have done if you hadn't forgotten it. That way you slowly increase your 'safe' window.

Love the idea, let's start a train of art inspired by Bioware games ❤️ These stories mean the world to me, its characters inspired me for years, the artists and writers behind them literally helped shape my artistic journey. I am thankful for everything you've created 🫶

In the wake of the news... feel free to quote with your art, fic, edits, etc. to show our love! Salutes in chat for the end of an era 🫡 Dragon Age truly is ours and no one can take that from us.

Spending my evening with some 17th-century wills, which means encountering the archaic word "sperate," as in the opposite of "desperate." (Sperate debts are debts you hope to collect, whereas you have lost hope in desperate debts.)

Today's mission is to find out where I hid all the winter clothes from myself. Like, they are quite bulky. There are limited options. And yet.

If you think you can tell how fit someone is by their appearance, you might spend an instructive ten minutes watching a charity run go by.

OK hear me out. A "human made" badge that can only be gained by completing half an hour of work under exam conditions to demonstrate you are capable of this work without the help of AI. Invigilated by four volunteer peers. And the badge is a number that you look up on a website to prove it's legit.

I do not believe that A) a 50 mins AI ep of Doctor Who could be generated containing anything approaching a story and B) anyone would sit through it, let along describe it as 'pretty good', so I'd love to know what the real story is here.

"An artificial intelligence-generated episode of Doctor Who was “pretty good,” according to BBC Director General Matt Brittin." What a desirable future that is. Soon there will be shows created entirely by machines for machines, which will generate tons of content!! Hallelujah.

Ah, apparently I have Suella Braverman to thank for that little piece of nastiness.

Family wedding. 99.9% lovely wedding. 0.01% being told by a cousin I basically grew up with that I am not English because my father wasn't born in the UK (he was Turkish-Cypriot). 👍

Can anyone think of a reason to create this that *isn't* about taking jobs from actors? The best I've come up with is 'because we can'. Time for a new luddite revolution.

This reminds me of how during teacher training we were told about a survey of students who completed an assignment using AI. Some of the pros the students identified were "the AI never gets tired" and "the AI never gets bored"

Regrettably, Lakitus in rows one and two were jailed for a year for the coordinated upskirting of Princess Peach. Those in rows three through five successfully argued they were unaware of the plan.

Hello!! 👋 I'm Garin, a freelance artist and currently I'm looking for work and open for commissions! I can do concepts, sequential art, illustrations and any 2D assets that can be used for your project! Feel free to hit me up anytime! 📩Contact: garincomms@gmail_com 👩‍🎨Portfolio: garin-art.carrd.co

Listen team, if you're finding your creative endeavours hard going today, do what the rest of us do: slouch around feeling sorry for yourself and eating hula hoops for a few hours. Don't try to convince yourself there's an easier way. If you didn't write it, it isn't art.

Some of them also seem to think that they enjoy writing. They don't; otherwise they wouldn't be using AI. They approach writing like something that needs to be optimised -- but you cannot optimise what you already love!

Oh, I am so relieved about this! I love Tillie Walden and was really looking forward to reading her book.

thene@thene.bsky.social

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

I expect to see this brutal warning from the UN not to be featured on a single national or Scottish front page or website. British media will determinedly ignore it because creating this hate campaign and its consequences has been part of their joint ideological project.
