When I feel like I'm wasting my time.

#Artist #Writer #Writing #art #capitalism

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS - i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful. - there is no such thing as a "real Job". all forms of work are real and valid - there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. - doing nothing Is good for my soul - my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements. - i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love. - I will not let society decide what success looks like. I can define what successful life looks like for me.

An excellent summary of contemporary anxiety from Eventually Everything Connects by Sarah Firth.

Sarah Firth in her wonderful comic Eventually Everthing Connects has a chat with her partner about all the shit that's going on and her need to do something about it. He says: 'If your sphere of concern is much bigger than your sphere of influence, you're gonna feel totally overwhelmed'.

Playing around with setting up a cutscene system, got it populating the next match to be played in the career progression, and I'm feeling like I'm getting to a place I'm happy with for the character art for Pol.

Been working on menus for Meat Derby, trying to make it feel like a horrific and mundane machine, like a vending machine that dispenses dessicated corpses. I'm liking using the blood smear focus marker, and the little conveyor window for network options.

Transphobia as we know it couldn't exist without white supremacy and colonialism.

The imposition of the gender binary reduced a global kaleidoscope of genders to two and made them immutable.

White trans people should be anti-racist and, if that being the right thing to do isn't reason enough, our own self-interest should be.

I'm telling my fellow white trans people to care about bigotries that don't apply to them but really is that even true?

There's no transmisogyny without transmisogynoir.

I posted this on Tumblr. I didn't think it would go far. But ... people have clipped it from Tumblr, shared in on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, it's had at least ONE AI read on Tiktok, and a few on Youtube ... so ... just so you know who posted it ... Hi. My pharmacist stole my deadname.

A Screenshot from Tumblr of a post by Tali Sidekick reading: "A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake. His response: "No, it's my name now." I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final. Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name."

seeing pushback against procedural generation as a result of alleged "AI" and that's really fucking sad

good procedural generation is hard. good procedural generation is bespoke and intentional. good procedural generation is artistic and creative. please don't lump it in with the slop generated through machine learning 😞

EDIT: procgen is not AI, it's a 40+ year old game design technique, see: https://peoplemaking.games/@eniko/113158903401769257

This was the second I made, vaguely inspired by a white bunny plushie I had as a kid that my mum sent to me in Sweden to comfort me in a period where I was feeling really lonely. Also a good opportunity to try out making ears and legs.

A white bunny plushie creature with six legs and no nose.
The same rabbit bug creature from a slightly different angle.

so, today i learned that BIC ran an advertisement campaign 10 years ago, one that actually yielded something interesting, a font that was an average sum of people's handwriting! it was called the "universal typeface experiment"

...but the campaign got taken down the year after, and it was extremely hard tracking down the fonts for the longest time.

so, someone on reddit randomly popped up with a sketchy download link to it, so i snagged it and plopped it on internet archive so that this shit doesn't get lost lmfao
