I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician even attempt to know this much about my people’s history or art or culture or struggle, and I’ve certainly never seen someone advocate for protecting us so fiercely at this level, ever. God I truly hope he wins.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

More progress today. It's starting to look like a Highland Cow. It took multiple takes to get the fur in a place where I'm largely happy.

That sucks massively. Something I would like to do if I could afford it one day would be to take art courses similar to what CGMA offered.

I'm always trying to find ways to get better at drawing things.

Online art school CGMA has abruptly halted operations after it was revealed that the company had dissolved last year. A group of 140 instructors says they’re owed months of unpaid wages, while parent company Domestika awaits a court ruling.

Microsoft Publisher is being retired, and Microsoft are literally deleting it off the face of the earth - it's leaving 365 this time next year + doesn't seem to be on sale from them now.

Whelp. End of an era I guess - been using it over 20 years. Thanks, subscriptions.

Writing hand-optimized implementations of the C standard library's routines for the Sega #Dreamcast's SH4, because the implementations we get from Newlib are using slow bit arithmetic on a platform with a baller FPU... ain't nobody got time!
