I can't remember if I posted this already, but the Garrus statue is coming along nicely. So close to being done!

Model: Bioware Artist Proof Limited Edition statue
Painter: me :)

A collectible statue of Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect is on a black and white modelling mat. He is crouching behind damaged scenery, holding a rifle. There are many small pots of multicoloured paint in the background and an out-of-focus bust of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3.
The Garrus model is mostly painted, with some details not yet added in on the face, scenery and gun

This is incredible! I love all of the details on the jacket. I'd happily own one like that to wear in person 🖤

while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

This is a wake up call.⚠️

If we continue to pile pressure on our planet's land and oceans, they won't be able to keep up with increasing emissions. 🏭

We must urgently cut emissions AND protect nature: our greatest ally in tackling the #ClimateCrisis. 🌍

Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating

CO2 in air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean carbon sinks are weakening

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

This news is a tragedy for nature, and for all the people that rely on coral reefs.

But this report should also be a reminder of how much MORE we stand to lose if we don't act now. 🌳🌊🌍

We cannot afford to let the #ClimateCrisis escalate further.

Key climate tipping point is BREACHED for the first time

With global warming on track to climb past 1.5°C (2.7°F), scientists say that warm water coral reefs are now passing their thermal tipping point.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 8d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 8d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?
