It’s #WorldSpineDay! Here is my #SciArt #symptomatology #embroidery, sensorium (2016), a visual representation of my hypersensitive nervous system due to #MECFS. I also used this as a cover image for my composition The Hum. Listen here: ko-fi.com/s/872acbb154

In the centre of some bone white linen, there is a spine embroidery in thick satin stitch. Emanating from the spine are thick burgundy lines in an undulant oval shape. This oval is bisected across the middle. In the top half, there is a section outlined in burgundy filled with coiling blue lines and a similar section in the bottom half. The rest of the undulant oval is filled with fine coiling burgundy lines. The spine is very straight, the rest of the embroidery is very coiled and busy. Lia’s initials are stitched in fine thread the same colour as the cloth at the bottom right.

I was at a DC house party and I showed a picture of my girlfriend at the time (who was Chinese American) to a group of people and a gop staffer straight up asked why I was dating a “yellow commie” if you don’t think this is a thing

Basically, what we have here is a situation where you had China hawks and race war hawks and it turns out the latter outnumbered the former about 30:1 and them not realizing this fact was kinda loadbearing for the entirety of traditional establishment national security thought.

The entire department lives in fear. The supervisor has given up. She's solving problems they didn't even know existed though so they can't even fire her!

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

"Oh yeah? They said the same thing about digital art when it became a thing" isn't a gotcha it's an admission that you're too stupid to tell the difference

I'm sad to see a lot of artists I know saying it's super hard to get sales. And it really is. So I wanna promote them here again.

Go check them out and buy or tip them if you can. This is the non-US shops list but I'll post other lists as well.

Oni @onidraws.bsky.social · Sep 11

I made a pack for non-US artists shops!
Let me know if you want to be added (with a shop link) or removed!
