Uncle Riss

My brain, neck deep in learning about semantic relationships for my #MLIS degree, hearing these #FallOutBoy lyrics today:

Ah, so it's an asymmetrical relationship

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I see you plaid elbow patch

a painting of Critical Role characters Essek Thelyss and Caleb Widogast, based on the Rider-Waite Tarot's The Devil. it is styled like a square painting on a vertically oriented tan canvas, with narrow unpainted strips above and below it. a looping leaning script reads "XV" above and "The Devil" below. Essek is a dark elf with gray-lavender skin and short white hair, dressed in elegant long dark robes and a silvery metal mantle piece, with the breastplate shaped like a beetle's back and long spikes curving off of his shoulders, radiating from his neck. Caleb is a light-skinned ginger human, with messy chin-length hair and a beard, wearing a gray tunic with a brown leather coat over it, a thick scarf wrapped around his shoulders. his spell book is just slightly visible at his side. the characters are facing each other, with Essek standing on the left and Caleb on the right. their right hands are raised between them, hovering under and over a floating hourglass that Essek is offering to Caleb; the violet sand in it is equally distributed between the top and the bottom halves and is not flowing down. Essek has his chin raised with a cool expression of confidence, while Caleb is looking at the hourglass with a deeply conflicted face, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes shining. Caleb's left arm down at his side is engulfed in orange flames. above them is the dodecahedron shape of a Beacon, pale gray and iridescent; the pentagonal plane facing the viewer is oriented with one of the corners pointing straight down. six silvery threads weave around it, intersecting at nine shining points, one thread each passing behind Essek's and Caleb's heads, and one each wrapping loosely around them. their figures, dark purple and brown, illuminated by the faint glow of the hourglass and the flame, are silhouetted against a much lighter gray and overcast light spilling from tall pointed arches behind them.

finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship

How did Essek steal the beacon?? He just cut the lock with those SHARP CHEEKBONES!!!!

Shane's gasp as the credits roll on ep 4 of #HeatedRivalry is what the gasp at the end of Hamilton wishes it was

OMFG I TOO HAVE BEEN THINKING SO MUCH ABOUT HOW THIS CONVO WENT DOWN

Diving into #TheDevilYouKnow & I am blown away by Sarah Marshall's (@yourewrongabout.bsky.social) kind & caring interviewing of Marylyn through such a difficult topic. What a bittersweet delight to listen to. 🩷

I forget how *lonely* writing can be. My friends & husband are supportive, but they don't read every word I write.

Also the PATIENCE it takes to stick with a long work. The tenacity, sure. But the PATIENCE to know it won't be done tomorrow. Or even next month.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I am writing it to be enjoyed by both knowledgeable folks and newbies!!💕
