admit it's astonishing hearing someone actually defend trans kids in this way.

A white sketchbook page with an abstract doodle drawn with blue highlighter, overlaid with a pattern drawn in black calligraphy pen. The pen is lying to the right of the drawing, the words PITT calligraphy pen visible on the side.

This is my go-to anxiety doodle lately. Soothing. #art

Photo of a round, orange lichen growing flat on light grey rock. The lichen is comprised of tightly packed, branching arms all radiating out from the centre. The lichen is covered in numerous small, round, orange discs - the apothecia.

A girl painted in teal leans into some sort of furry black creature. She looks forlorn, and text on the right side of the image reads, "I feel so lost all the time. I'm changing so fast. People I love have left me. I've walked away from others to save myself.

The dark figure is revealed to be a hulking creature with wings, the artist's interpretation of Moth man. The girl buries her face in the creature, surrounded by a teal fog. She says, "Sometimes I think I'm not meant for people."

An image showing two glowing teal eyes, illuminating what appear to be feathers. Moth man says, "Change is inevitable. To refuse that truth is to suffer. Let them look upon you with delight or dread."

The girl stands near the front of the image now, with Moth man looking down at her. the girl's eyes now glow like Moth man's, and she cups her face cautiously. Her hair sways in the wind. Moth man says, "You are mine as all omens are. Embrace your reckoning."

This comic is a sort of kind of sequel to this ancient comic from waaaay back on Twitter.

A comic page with three panels. The first panel shows a pair of legs in black boots and jean shorts walking towards a round figure in the background. The girl walking says "Hey dad, I'm back." The second panel shows the round, dark figure in the background stand up to reveal itself to be a massive winged creature with moth antennae, the artist's interpretation of Mothman. The figure who was walking in the first panel is revealed to be a furry dog girl with pink hair and glasses, as well as a pink flannel, a spiked writs bracer and a spiked collar. She stands at about a tenth of the size of Mothman. She says, "Sorry it's been a minute. Weird fucking year." In panel three, we get a close up of her. She holds a duffel back behind her back and looks off to the side. She says, "I meant to call."

A comic page with two panels. In the first panel, the dog girl sits on her duffel bag as Moth man begins to envelop her in his wings. She says, "I just wanted there to be good news, I guess." In panel two, Mothman's wings begin to glow a ghostly green as green fog envelops the dog girl. He says, "You are here. This is not good news?"

A comic page with three panels. In the first panel, the dog girl shrugs and says, "I guess?" In the second panel, we see her from above as she leans over herself, her figure becoming smaller as it hunches over. She says, "Feels like all I did this year was survive." In the third panel, a now brightly glowing Mothman looks down at the dog girl and says, "That is not good news?"

A comic with three panels. In the first panel, the dog girl sits on her duffel bagm holding her body with both arms and looking off to the side. "You know what I mean," she says. In panel two, we get a close-up of Moth man's eyes, and we see the dog girl's reflection in them. He says, "I do." In the third panel, we see a ghostly green trail of energy that flows forward towards the camera, with several ghostly green images of the dog girl placed along the trail. They all look sad, in pain, or timid. Surrounding them are several words in various shades of green. They read, "Fear, self-doubt, depression, transphobia, chronic pain, loss, poverty."

You're stronger than you think. (1/2) #Mothman

Fungi diverged from other life around 1.5 billion years ago,[1][2] with the glomaleans branching from the "higher fungi" (dikaryans) at ~570 million years ago, according to DNA analysis. (Schüssler et al., 2001; Tehler et al., 2000)[2] Fungi probably colonized the land during the Cambrian, over 500 million years ago, (Taylor & Osborn, 1996),[2] and possibly 635 million years ago during the Ediacaran,[3][4] but terrestrial fossils only become uncontroversial and common during the Devonian, 400 million years ago.[2]

we only ever evolved to see and experience fungi and they will persist for an eternity past once we're long gone

brb, i have to know everything about everything

Fewer and fewer are doing the "it" and it's not because we don't want to but because the system expects you to automate it and spend all the rest of your energy on work.

That's why everything feels so soulless. And why it may feel like you are the final and only *soulful* thing in your most immediate perception of reality.

Whether that's the creative process, the therapeutic process, the learning process, the dating process...

I feel like what separates the current era from the previous one is that in the previous one people were trying to automate work and in the current one we're trying to automate *The Process*.

"who wants this" is a good question with a pretty simple answer: investors do who like how companies figured out they can short-term double count self dealing moving around money at a loss between their data centers, hardware partners and software teams. it isn't for us. nothing new is at this point

Blender 4.3 (currently in beta) added a "For Each element" node which lets you use fields on node inputs that would only take single values. (circle sockets)

Now you can apply fields to strings, allowing for cool things like this to be possible!
