Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders. In panel 1, he is pointing emphatically at one of his gangsters. Caption reads, "No defeatism." Panel 2 has him shouting at the room, "NO FUCKING DEFEATISM!"

Heavy By Jeremy Whitley It feels so heavy sometimes, The weight of loss. To think of all those who used to care for us, Those we can no longer turn to, No longer repay. To think of the friends who once made us who we were, Now names only remembered when a certain song plays, Or when you remember who showed you a great movie. Who we have torn ourselves away from, Or been torn from, Or had torn from us. To think of the pets we once thought would never fit our lives, But sat at our feet when we worked, Reminded us to get up and go walk, Or nuzzled us when our hearts were broken. To think of the people we might have beens, The “one days” that passed us by while we worked, The lives we might have lived, had one thing gone differently. It all feels so heavy. It’s only in the weight of my loss, That I can truly reckon how rich I must have been. To have so much to have lost. To bear the weight of so many connections and possibilities. To have loved and been loved, Looking at it all at once, it seems impossible. Someday I will look back at these words and marvel, What a fool I will have been now to mistake so little loss for so much. I will have found so many more things to lose then. Like Marley’s chains to Scrooge’s. I will be so much heavier. I have realized that I write to make myself heavier, To build stories that draw new friends and expectations. Books like traps to catch like minds, Books full of water to replenish like souls. Books full of bandages to mend like hearts. Books to make you heavier with possibilities. Lightness is the curse of the uncaring, To have no loss or possibilities to drag around. I want to lift that curse. It is so difficult to hold it all up. It all feels so heavy. But I would never choose to be an ounce lighter.
I don't write poetry often and I don't claim to be good at it.
But it's New Years and I'm a sappy romantic at heart who'd had half of this forming in my head all day.
I hope it finds you.
As a rule, I always try to solve specific problems rather than general ones.
So, what is the Tech Art solution for this particular hair style versus what is a broad solution that will work for all hair styles.

Shout out to @kchironis.bsky.social for a REALLY Beginner friendly UE4 tutorial (following on UE5.6 and it translates fine)
The way Kate has predicated all the newbie questions as well as explaining enough of the 'why' is really well done!

how I feel since 2016 or so
Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Made a geometry node approach to blending vertex normals between objects in 4.5. This one keeps the normals even if you move the object unlike the modifier approach. Maybe I'll update my script to append this in.

screenshot of a post i made on twitter Corey Brickley Illustration. Ju: @CoreyBrickley Seguir .. . i struggle with a brain that wants to stiffly copy whatever reference i'm using and one thing i've found helpful: 1. draw big blocky shapes over the reference 2. turn off ref and redraw big blocky shapes 3. draw in figure with big blocky shapes overlaid Traducir post
photo of model posing as an elegant elf woman that ive blocked out with a chunky red brush
in a separate window ive redrawn the red blocks, then have drawn details over the red blocks, using the photo+red transparency as reference
final doodle of the figure drawing without the red blocking
this is making the rounds on facebook so i thought id bring it here for u m'lord
