Well, been on BSky for about a year, but with all these new followers & users, I will reintroduce myself!

I'm Jess! Also known as JWo (Jay-Woah) & I'm over 35 yrs old & a non binary Chinese American born & raised in Mississippi!

Been sewing since I was 4 yrs old. Cosplaying since 2005.

#promosky

They are wearing a dark brown, French braided wig with a brown, braided leather headband. They have thick, dark brown eyebrows and turquoise, intricate makeup drawn around their eyes with dark mauve lipstick. They are wearing a dark brown, tan sherpa lined vest over a sunflower yellow sleeveless dress dotted with gold, metallic triangles all over the dress. A dark brown leather pouch with a silver turnlock hangs from a leather holster holding small corked topped potion holder with 5 potions each a different color, red, pink, yellow, green, & blue. A gold magnifying glass also hangs behind the brown pouch. On their left forearm is a bracer adorned with many multicolored buttons. The background is slightly out of focus with the side of an ivory stone church with arched windows & the ground covered in fallen, dried leaves, and part of a tree trunk.

JWo coaplaying as Veth Brenatto from Campaign 2 of Critical Role, The Mighty Nein. They are wearing the winter outfit from the Aeor arc. They are in a baby pink lolita wool cape with ivory fur collar. There are also ivory fur cuffs on their sleeve cuffs. On their head is ivory colored fur earmuffs with small deer antlers mounted onto the earmuffs. There is also a dark brown braided leather headband around their forehead. They are wearing a dark brown wig with double braided pigtails wrapped with turquoise & gold holders near the ends of the pigtails. There is an intricate turquoise makeup design around each eye and dark mauve lipstick on their lips. In their left gloved hand, they are holding a small brown & gold wooden crossbow. The background is white & snowy with a bleak sky with dark trees in the distance.

JWo cosplaying level 10 Nott the Brave, a goblin character from Campaign 2 of Critical Role, The Mighty Nein. They are wearing a dark green wig with 2 braided pigtails with a yellow and light blue flower crown. Their skin is a shade of dark sage green with green pointed ears and hands. Around their neck are 2 different necklaces, one is made of green pearls and long white faux bone tube beads. The other necklace is a cluster of multicolored buttons. They are wearing a dark brown leather jacket over a sunflower yellow dress with metallic gold triangles dotted all over the dress with brown buttons. They are cradling a gigantic silver steel rectangular flask with a small green donut stick on the side in their arms.

JWo is cosplaying a moon godlike character from the Obsidian's game, Pillars of Eternity. They are wearing a white, thick texture wig braided in one large braid tied with a strap of brown leather. On their head above their forehead is a white crescent shaped horn. Their skin is painted a blueish grey shade with metallic silver large freckles on their cheeks with white eyebrows and whiteout contact lenses. They are wearing a large, long red velvet hooded cloak. Part of the hood is draped over their head. They are wearing a light blue tunic with brown lace-up panel at the chest.

They are posed in such a way that invokes they're casting a spell at the viewer.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

I told my English professor this in a much nicer way back in college and I don't regret it one bit. I had to read this book TWICE in my life & I hate that I did.

返校 (Detention) is a 2017 horror game from the Taiwanese studio Red Candle Games, and a movie adaptation was released in September 2019. The timing, and the subject matter of the White Terror, meant Detention featured quite a bit in HK protest art.

A small thread.

oh btw if you guys liked Silent Hill f may I suggest Detention. It's by the same studio that made Devotion. It takes place during White Terror in Taiwan and has some really great horror elements from Taiwanese mythology.

The corporations who built data centers should use these instead of eating up massive amounts of resources from residents living nearby

Why use binary silicone chips for AI computations when you can let light do the work for you at about 1% of the energy cost! #technology #science #ai

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

It's extremely jarring to go from watching "Mickey 17" and suddenly following up with "Twilight: New Moon"

It was my first time watching both movies.
