probably my favorite illustration I did for Scholar's Codex, for the Elden Ring section @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social

an important reminder that "hacking" rarely involves typing real fast as green text scrolls by and mostly involves asking people for their login info in increasingly sophisticated ways

-'god made you how you are' & 'That's *Your* Body' talks from my mom, both of which meant to early teen me that these people trying to make me feel gross were wrong & i could safely ignore them & have my own private relationship with (then) god

i was maybe too autistic to reprogram

my best friend's family when i was ~11-12 & hanging out with her at their extremely fundie church. i wanted the ecstatic born-again experience but not the denial & purity, had zero religious shame (public school & other stuff made up for that later) and the church never got past early-

perils of the frozen chicken parm for dinner: half is not quite enough & i'm still snacky, all of it will do me damage unless i'm recouping a shitload of physical activity

calling honeybees "livestock" will never stop amusing me because in 95% of scenarios (like unless they're totally indoors somehow?) they have the ability to quit. if you suck at keeping bees, they will eat all the honey, take their mom, and leave. we are just the property managers

:( possibly

several layers of my boots' insoles are peeling away from the bottom in a way that i'm not sure i can fix but this Is how i discovered 'insole glue' is a specialty thing you can get

From a Sophisticated Browser-Extension Supply-Chain Compromise to a VibeCoded Twist: A Chrome Extension as the Initial Access Vector for a Broader Malware Chain Independent technical analysis of a Chrome extension compromise, fake update chain, and Windows-stage malware activity.

"A formerly legitimate Featured Chrome extension (ShotBird) was turned into a remote-controlled malware channel after an apparent ownership transfer"

Curious if this is another case of an extension being sold on ExtensionHub again? A place to watch...

woke up idly pondering how to a) make this into a tattoo design, b) redo it big on canvas and/or c) turn it into stickers, all? of which would require reworking or a new version bc of how the different media work

so the question then becomes: which can i manage before i get tired of it & move on

being a “muse” is having your life and your story and your thoughts mined for the success and acclaim of someone else, usually a man

if yr interesting enough to be a muse, i promise you, yr interesting enough to use it for yr own art instead

Digital art of two women gently holding onto one another. Both women are missing their faces. A reddish-orange tangled mass of organic material flows out from where their faces should be and connects them together.

A digital illustration in the style of a woodcut. It depicts the upper half of humanoid figure whose “head” is a flattened organic shape. A serpentine creature delicately wraps around the figure’s arm and into an opening in their face. The figure handles the creature gently.

A digital illustration in the style of a vintage children’s book. It depicts two humanoid figures whose heads are a flattened organic shape with an opening in the center. Leaning forward, their faces are chained together. Their body language conveys that, while slightly surprised, are ultimately cool with this event.

Today’s my birthday! 🎉

This morning I saw someone spell George Orwell as “Jorjor Wel” and then someone replied that their favorite Star Wars character was George Orbinks and I have been laughing about it ALL DAY.
