"So, in Gardenview we have these revival machines for Toons. Death among Toons is normal for us. It's not that big of a deal since the humans can just bring us back."

"(Toon Handlers encouraged us to minimize death, especially when we're with kids.)"

"The revival machines would always bring us back as if nothing has happened. Memories intact and everything. When the humans left us— Gardenview, oddly enough, still had power. So the machines still worked. But overtime, they started acting up..."

"One day, the machines worked automatically by itself. Seems like whenever a Toon revives they grew more sick... Then Violent."

"I'm unsure what causes the ichor to be so harmful... But I promise to get to the bottom of this."

So....our Dressmaking Batch 97 got to participate in a pagent, Mr & Ms Technowear 2024 for TIIC (Technical Institute of Iloilo City)'s 30th Foundation day.

✨And we got to do 2 lewks, Streetwear and Technowear.✨

While trying to figure out what we were going to do, we raided the fitting room (stockroom) and found a whole bunch of Retazo (hiliganon for scrapped fabric) from previous projects of batches before us. And it just so happens we were asigned the color 💚Green💚 for our team. Green = Nature = lots of fabric flowers. And to make it easier for us, we raided our closets and a few thrift stores for garments to upcycle and ofc every crafter has a few knickknacks to embellish with!!!!

I really don’t get people who use AI to write things for them and then drop them in their work cause like, call me old school if you must, but I like knowing that every word I put down on a page is my own and represents a clear intention on my part - and if anyone wants to question/challenge that, I can come back with a reasonable articulation of why I did it that way

I get that busy work doesn’t always get this standard (even from me), but I can’t imagine just handing over all that agency and autonomy of self-expression over to some mindless bot that may or may not spew out garbage that could tank the readers trust in you - even if you remember to edit out the “this is an AI language model” that I see in so many papers and articles nowadays

Where’s the pride in your work? Where’s the feeling of accomplishment or improvement? Where’s the rich process of refining what you write down into a final product that you feel confident enough to attach your name to? Where’s the glancing at your final work and saying “I know this isn’t perfect, but I put effort into this and I’m not embarrassed to have anyone else read it”? Where???

And this is all ignoring the fact that ai is trained on masses of work that artists and writers neither consented to nor were compensated for their inclusion in the process, and that by using these models, you’re helping the tech bros who stole these artists’ and writers’ work to get rich

Slowly spinning another scrap rolag to try out the new spindle. Tried to work the rolag differently this time, separating plies before putting it on the hand cards and keeping back a few smaller showy pieces of scrap yarn that i wanted to remain intact and adding those right at the end. They take an awfully long time to make though, at least with this particular blend of partially felted scarf fringe and the warp waste from that project mixed with ends ive been cutting off the handspun scrap yarn blanket as ive sewed them in. But the result of the last one was really fun to spin and looks so good as another blanket square, so it's worth the effort.

BC merch rant:

64€ for a sweatshirt is more than a bit too much my guys

why make a beautiful design but only make it accessible as a sweatshirt but not as a T-shirt/hoodie etc

"This unisex model is sold using men’s measurements." fuck unisex, I have boobs and hips, I am short, this fit will look hideous on me

This is hard to put into words, but as an aspiring Game Developer/Designer one of my dreams is to reach a point where I can release mobile games that don't need to be profitable. I would just love to release games that are like ad free, free of wait time grindy bullshit and are just fun, simple games.

Note that boycotting Coca-Cola involves more than just boycotting literal Coke. We'll also have to watch out for lots of other beverages and not even just soft drinks. Here's the current list from Coca-Cola's own Brands Page, plus some info from Motley Fool.

States increase fees in effort to improve mattress recycling

Are States Making Mattresses Eco-Friendly? Workers dismantling a mattress. Consumers in several states are pitching in to make the mattress industry more environmentally sustainable. States like California, Connecticut, Oregon, and Rhode Island have imposed a flat fee on every mattress or box spring purchased, whether online or in-store. These fees help fund state recycling programs that prevent used mattresses from ending up in landfills, aligning with a broader push for a circular economy in everyday products. Americans discard millions of mattresses each year, but over 75% of a mattress is recyclable. Oregon recently introduced a recycling fee, while California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island have increased their fees. Efforts are also underway in Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, and Virginia to implement similar programs. Recycling options are limited but expanding, with a growing number of companies nationwide focusing on mattress recycling. State efforts reflect the extended producer responsibility concept, where producers take responsibility for managing their products after they're no longer in use. State programs are funded through consumer fees, with retailers passing these fees on to the Mattress Recycling Council. The goal is to create a sustainable recycling system while making it easier for consumers to recycle old mattresses. FAQs: - How are states incentivizing mattress recycling? - What percentage of a mattress is recyclable? - Which states have implemented mattress recycling programs? - How do extended producer responsibility laws work? - What is the role of the Mattress Recycling Council in these programs? #Money #businessnews #effort #Environment #fees #Householdproductmanufacturing #improve #increase #mattress #Onlineretail #Oregon #Personalfinance #Recycledproducts #Recycling #Retailindustry #Retailsales #states https://tinyurl.com/2bvr6toc
