Unprofessional email: let's say something like "emilyluvsunicorns1996@gmail.com"

More "professional" email: emilyjones2@gmail.com

Anon has noticed, as they've had to fill out more "professional" documents and government paperwork, that continuing to use the email they made when they were 13 feels a little strange, and might look weird to the person who processes the paperwork. Are they overthinking it?

I just found the earliest email I ever sent from my email address, and it’s the funniest goddamn thing I can possibly imagine a fourth grader sending her teacher:

(Context - my fourth grade teacher was on maternity leave, and the class had conferenced at recess regarding the poor state of the classroom goldfish’s tank. We decided to inform our (24yo, new mother) former teacher of the dire situation, and I was selected as the duly appointed representative for this solemn communication.)

My default username, when read phonetically, would be pronounced "cunt."

Still better than your friend's email.

thinking about how my old university's automatic email generation gave my friend Andy Ryan the email address ARYAN88

i was browsing through old geocities gifs and found this lol, never knew this was originally animated

[bisclavret]

this is so funny i knew eoin said he thought gwaine got up and went on his merry way with a concussion and zero recollection of the entire series but i didn't know he got super excited about making a short film about it. it's kind of a huge-brained idea actually since gwaine's character arc starts out with a concussion. mr macken please this could be your magnum opus there is still time

pls consider the hilarity of: BATFAMILY EDITION OF CLUE. Who killed Bruce Wayne in Wayne Manor?

Was it Alfred, Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian, Steph, or Cass?

Did they use Alfred's feather duster, a crowbar, Damian's longsword, brass knuckles, Bruce's "World's Okayest Dad" mug, or a shotgun?

Was it in the garden, the abandoned ballroom, the pool, Bruce's study, the roof, the Batcave, or in front of Jason's suit memorial?

Hello! I've rewritten this ask like five times so I'll just come out and say, you're one of my favorite artists, thank you for all the good stuff you put out, it's inspiring <3 I wanted to ask, what's your method of studying anatomy and expressions?

Thank you! <3 Ngl the last time I studied anatomy with effort, I was a kid in high-school. The only book I had on the subject was the Anatomy for the Artist from Jeno Barcsay. It was huge and detailed, literally muscle and bone deep, but I think my brain is wired more for the feel of things than the understanding 😅

I try to find nude or mostly nude pics for anatomy stuff. Adult photo sites rule as a source, people contort their bodies in all sorts of weird ways and I can usually find someone with the build I'm looking for.

When I sketch based on a ref, I try to pay attention to the silhouette, negative spaces and alignments. They help me correct mistakes.

And obviously I love to exaggarate things. (Evident on the waistline and pulled up leg here.)

Same with expressions, I guess. I try to push them but stay within the realm of believable. It's so easy to make a face look uncanny or creepy or w/e with a smile too wide. I have had a couple commissioners ask me before to tone down the initial expressions on their characters, and I think that was a nice reminder to pull me back to reality lol It can get especially weird with long narrow faces like Buttons'. I find it a bit tricky to make him have a large open smile while fitting it all on his head.

in 1883 in the first recorded rodeo takes place in pecos, texas. in 2001 rob smets attends the PBR world finals in jeans and a sports jersey bearing sponsor logos. in 1568 the gelosi acting company coalesces in italy to perform the hot new style of live improv entertainment. in 1780 joseph grimaldi makes his stage debut at 2 years old at london’s famed drury lane. in the many, many years before any white person ever laid eyes on it, a man in what you’d now call northern arizona paints his body in black and white stripes and puts corn husks in his hair. in 1557 ivan the terrible is pallbearer to a man who walked naked in the streets of moscow. in 2017 the ringling bro’s circus announces its last show, 146 years after the titular brothers first formed it. all of these moments (and more!) have lived in my head rolling around like marbles for years now and im so happy to now have the proper method to infect your mind as well:

History of Fools is a hobby project of mine i've been working on for over a year now! part essay series, part half-assed podcast, part descent into madness, this little diddy is the culmination of years' worth of highly specific insanity. i have 4 half hour-ish essays/episodes out now reviewing the histories of:

Jesters! Commedia Dell'arte! Sacred Clowns and Holy Fools! and my personal favorite (seriously if you listen to or read any please choose this one) Rodeo Clowns!

I have more episodes planned to get into clowns proper, hoping to come out in 2024. but until then please take a read or a listen and let me know what you think!

Despite waking up to a nasty anon in my inbox, I feel great. And I feel great because you are never a bully for standing up for what you believe in.

Times I've been called a bully by anons:

When a creator tried to say that because of my sims bodyshape being "lumpy and jagged", the paywalled mesh broke. So of course with my sims being thick af because I use body presets made after Black women and pear shapes, and the creator just didn't bother to do the uv1 thing in blender, I was the bully for calling out the clear hypocrasy of caping for a lazy creator at the expense of Black women.

When I refused to shut up about dreamstatesims being an antiBlack racist apologist.

When I told someone they shouldn't paywall for a month artistic assets that aren't theirs that they probably got from someone who already extracted said assets...for free.

Those are just the ones I know about. The thing is, its one disgruntled former follower calling me a bully from a dummy account. This is really elementary/primary school behavior considering I've been called the Nword in that ask box on numerous occassions. So today's lesson is, I ain't gon change boo.

A paper presented at the Seventh Ulidia Conference on the Ulster Cycle of Tales, held at Ulster University, Belfast, June 2024.

No, this was not the official title of my paper.

Yes, this was my actual final slide and did remain on the screen for some time.

Yes, a few people laughed.

No, nobody brought it up afterwards. In fact, all the senior scholars were being incredibly nice about my paper, which suggests they read this in the most accurate way (completely sincerely and innocently).

This is probably for the best.

Life is surreal like this sometimes. Some things seem too good to be true, while other things seem too bad to be possibly happening. What makes it surreal is how far it is from the familiar reality, and how drastically so. It will have you giggling in difficult times and solemnly sitting through supposed joyful ones. What a roller coaster of emotions.

Guys Jon gave Sam Gerry’s address in order to keep researching, he’s definitely not trying to keep the guy away from the magnus institute

Back Up Often, Back Up Local.

Hey kids, it's your local elder millenial coming at you live to remind you that anything on a cloud server or a social media network (including this one) is not to be considered secure. If you have artwork or writing you value, back up often, and back up local. Storage space is cheap, get yourself some USB sticks or an external drive and store that shit, or god forbid, if you're lucky enough to have access to an optical drive every so often burn a disc of archived works. There is no promise that an online server you post to will be there tomorrow. I've just learned that ello shuttered overnight and took down all the artwork stored there. It's no big one to me because I store local, but there's a lot of people who are hurting due to the loss, and I've been there kids. I did heaps of really interesting writing and artwork that I published on servers that don't even exist anymore. Even well maintained, well loved servers reach the end of their lifespan and are switched off, decommissioned, and or compromised. Power outages, natural disaster, the works - keep it in your own hands, and you know exactly where it is and what state it's in.

If you have questionable living arrangements or dangerous people around you that make your art or writing insecure at home, the next best thing is to email to a trusted friend and get them to download and store local.

Storing across multiple platforms is better than nothing, I guess, if you don't have that option - so Google Drive and Protondrive, multiple different email addresses (mail them back and forth) and private posts on networks on which you don't usually publish (Dreamwidth is still going strong and is actively involved in fighting restrictive social media laws - they deserve your attention).

If you write in Google docs, for the love of pterry back it up or post it privately somewhere else once it's done.

No one tells the young people, so I am going to - back up often, and back up local. If you live through your art, keep it in your own hands. Do not trust corporations to keep your shit safe for you, and remember - you can never have too many backups.
