this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

I have been enjoying Silent Hill f so much I decided to do some terrible fanart.

#silenthillf #silenthill

The protagonist of Silent Hill f Hinako, a Japanese girl in a blue school uniform, with one beefy arm and holding a sledge hammer, but all drawn really poorly in MS Paint.

Fond memories of being a 17-year-old fan eagerly awaiting the new Star Wars movies, and suddenly finding yourself becoming a Jedi Knight in the first person. Between two spectacular (for this era) FMV sequences.

Jedi Knight was released 28 years ago, and it feels like it was yesterday. 🥰

I would so love if a national patron of the arts program became a thing everywhere. Culture deserves it, artists deserve it, this world is a shit and things like this directly make it better

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Incision is an incredible game that nearly wasn't finished. But it was. I spoke to developer Smoothbrain to get insight on his story, which is a tale of stress, burnout, passion, and ultimately triumph. Let's talk about the making of Incision.
