currently reading (at snail’s pace)
i’ve never juggled between such vastly different, yet equally heavy genres before. one boggles my mind with yet another unexplored aspect of indian history, another makes me realise how little i know about the world, and the last one could’ve just been a twitter thread.
“we said goodbye to our mothers. they’d been around all our lives, but we’d never properly seen them. they’d been bent over washing tubs or cooking pots, their faces red and swollen from heat and steam, holding everything together while our fathers were away at sea, and nodding off every night on the kitchen chair, with a darning needle in hand. it was their endurance and exhaustion we knew, rather than them."

This is a very good read on racial inequity - with great examples
“Take, for instance, a parody project that begins by subverting the anti-Black logics embedded in new high-tech approaches to crime prevention Instead of using predictive policing techniques to forecast street crime, the White-Collar Early Warning System flips the script creating a heat map that flags city blocks where financial crimes are likely to occur.
The system not only brings into view the hidden but no less deadly crimes of capitalism and the wealthy’s hoarding of resources, but includes an app that alerts users when they enter high-risk areas to encourage “citizen policing and awareness.” Taking it one step further, the development team is working on a facial recognition program meant to flag individuals who are likely perpetrators, and the training set used to design the algorithm includes the profile photos of 7,000 corporate executives downloaded from the popular professional networking site LinkedIn. Not surprisingly, the “averaged” face of a criminal is White and male. In this sense, the narrative of what we consider to be a crime and of whom we consider to be a criminal is being challenged. But it remains to be seen whether such initiatives can help generate a different social order when it comes to criminalization. And creative exercises like this one are comical only if we ignore that all their features are drawn directly from actually existing proposals and practices “in the real world,” including the use of facial images to predict criminality – all, techniques that tend to target racialized groups.“

Web3 and the Dark Patterns of Design
Understanding Design Ethic choices as a way forward. Preface With the recent wave of “new” technologies that are becoming popular as part of the “web3” surge that is being promoted as societally transformative, the questions of ethics and design should once again be at the forefront of our minds. To be clear, when I speak of design, I don’t mean a constrained definition of graphics, visuals or…

can't it even be more obvious thomas. why are you surprised that a sudrian historical site filled to the brim with armor and weaponry that dates back to the middle ages has old people afflicted with the gold dust working around the castle
#thomas the tank engine#thomas and friends#ttte glynn#ttte millie#ttte stephen#casa tidmouth#senjart#MORE OF LADY'S EXPERIMENTS GONE WRONG#WHO UP ULFSTEADING THEIR CASTLE#stuff for the kotr arc of casa tidmouth. now this is where gold dust has historical significance#going crazy right now. my friends are influencing me#I had 12 tabs opened just to draw young glynn's armor. they dont have plated armory in the 10th century!!!! only mails!!!!!!#(looking at you KOTR intro)#I remember reading some inputs on my 1k milestone poll and saw someone put ''the misery of growing old'' and honestly. Checks out#glynn's eyes are goldish brown because well. that's the perks of being the first bearer of the gold dust horrors#lady during 989 AD do not know anything about human thoughts and ethics and emotions. she was literally freestyling that!!!!!#Oh a wounded soldier on the verge of death. what if I *dumps 200 kg of gold dust on him* yeah that'll do the trick.#then she saw how glynn aged so so slowly and went Oh well I messed up. Good thing there are lots of other sudrians here#funny coincidence that young cstm glynn's helmet resembles canon glynn's funnel#I wanted to make millie's design resemble a tour guide more with her scarf and more stylish than usual tie#shes so pretty. I'm so proud of her design#(AND I REALIZED TOO LATE THAT HER TIE HAS THE COLORS OF THE FRENCH FLAG)#<--- said the guy who has beef with the french#stephen's crown is translated to a hat decor! was about to draw a top hat but whatever just imagine he has a collection of various hats#that he can put his crown on#also I want to give him that cool hip-with-the-kids I-am-still-young-at-heart energy#sir robert norramby is balling in the background.#hope you enjoy..... won't be able to draw as much from now on but I'm excited#also whos ready for old man yaoi........... 2!!!!!!

He was, currently is and always will be a sleazy littol bird butt 🪶
#bear answers#stp spoilers#stp#stp voices#voice of the opportunist#slay the princess#slay the princess pristine cut#stp opportunist#drawing Opportunist again I see the OPPORTUNITY to draw him in different ties#different route = new tie 👔#honestly can’t really say anything unique#he’s a really fun character#who brings new kinda egoistical perspective#like the guy *does not care* about ethics#Opportunist is the type of guy to be HR’s best friend and boss’s pet#he WILL spit in your coffee if Nathan from the upper management said so#that’s the reason I designed him to be office core in a way#I was not surprised when he wanted to kill the princess in the Dragon route#(was happy I recognised him by writing alone btw)#also headcanon Skeptic and Opportunist being besties#or most likely just Opportunist kissing up to Skeptic#bc Skeptic is the most rational/logical from the group#I would imagine he would seem as a leader#(and we all know how Opportunist reacts to leader figures lmao)

#dc#lex luthor#edward nygma#the riddler#the joker#lexjokes#my drawings are too unserious for me to have genuine headcanons about him im sorry#i draw him huge though like 6'6 big#but ive only drawn him beside other people who are relatively tall so#MY MORTAL KOMBAT DESIGNS LIKE. everyones heights are so varied but most of my dc designs are tall 👎#will draw him beside harley or something for The People#anyway joker treats him like theyve been married ten years#lex is expected to love anything joker loves and hate anything joker hates (this varies wildly from day to day)#(lex has to guess what is what its hell)#the stepson in question is the roddler#jokers life is one big game of playing house and lex unfortunately landed the dad role. to me#now hes stuck with that forever#dcau lex luthor my role model my idol my most trusted ...#also he would be a good cook. im right#hes thirty five. i do not know that man#joker#riddler#ethical billionaire#fanart#shire art#shire's got mail!#still kinda like the slightest bit shy about my dc doodles so these asks are always so cute

ur post abt the green lantern’s political leanings was so interesting!! can you do one for the bat family? (but only if u wanna!!)
Honestly, I can't, because their politics are so incoherent.
Like, take Bruce. (And again, like with the Lanterns, I'm talking about canon here, not how I wish things were.) On the one hand, you would imagine he's pretty progressive, right? He's almost certainly a single issue voter and that single issue is gun control. He believes in rehabilitating criminals and in fact a lot of Wayne Enterprises hires are formerly incarcerated people. He is an active philanthropist who pours money into schools, orphanages, hospitals, public spaces, and the arts. These are all leftist values!
And yet the modern Batman is also a completely unrestrained violent anarchic-libertarian power fantasy. Bruce has invented his own law, which he enacts and enforces completely arbitrarily, however he feels like doing so. He obeys the laws he wants to obey and ignores the ones he doesn't care about, while insisting he is law-abiding. He tortures people literally constantly and considers it righteous. He uses the profits from his publicly traded company to become a one-man military industrial complex. (The emissions from the fucking Batmobile alone...!) He illegally surveils the entire city and sometimes the entire planet (Brother Eye, anyone?) because he has decided that his moral authority overrides literally anyone's right to privacy, anywhere. He allows his defeated foes to be locked up indefinitely regardless of their mental state in an institution that would make any qualified mental health professional run screaming in the opposite direction. He's sexist. All of these things sit on the right of the political spectrum, but imagine me pointing to the right like Charlie from It's Always Sunny pointing to his murder board.
And none of the Batfamily is any better. Some of them are honestly worse in certain aspects. Dick was a cop. Jason loves guns. Babs and Tim are even more in love with surveillance than Bruce is. Remember when Tim wanted to replace the police with, like, a Bat-army??? BECAUSE I DO.
It's not really "their fault," as much as anything can be a fictional character's fault. It's the result of being written by writers who are, for the most part, consciously trying to write the Bats as good Samaritans, but are also living in a world where we have had our brains warped by all of our blockbusters being funded by the US military, in a medium where badassery is prized above everything else, and so all this really problematic shit spills out onto the comics page without being questioned. It's also kind of a boiling frog situation: i.e. Batman has always had a cool car, so as he got tougher and tougher, of course that car would eventually become a tank, and no one stopped to go "Wait, what the fuck? What the fuck? How is this billionaire driving a tank around helping anyone???" I guess god bless Zack Snyder for inadvertently highlighting how fucking stupid and counterproductive a Batman taken to his worst extremes is.
To be clear, I don't think this is what most writers are trying to do with Batman (some of them are, but fuck those guys). But it's what happens when all you care about is rule of cool, and the more I think about it the more I'm like...shit, maybe Alan Moore was right and superheroes are just stupid.
Anyway in conclusion, comic book writers should consider the ramifications of what they're writing occasionally. But Bruce Wayne probably still votes blue, at least.
#also not for nothing but this is why i like superman and green arrow better#because they are designed as characters who actually THINK about the ethical application of power and privilege#as opposed to chucking it around willy nilly because it looks cool#batman#meta

Ok so you guys like my Kabuto redesign. That’s good. Here’s my rendition of my perfect beautiful amazing show stopping wife Orochimaru. I kinda struggled because I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with his base design. I guess the right word for this would be an elevation? Idk
#orochimaru#naruto#naruto fanart#digital art#redesign#character design#idk I’m just having fun#we like to have fun here#is it morally/ethically wrong for him to wear snake skin?
