The Pale King in his workshop
#pale king#hollowknight#finding a reference for this place was a bit tricky#i haven't reached the palace myselfbyet#so i resorted to online aids#found a spread photo on a facebook page that was a great help#something i will forever love about hollowknight is that it it a love letter to environmental story-telling.#I didn't capture it properly here#but there is so much to dissect about this room#what are the scattered bowls for? are they a method to collect void or perhaps soul?#what about the stone pillars with black figures drawn on them- it looks like the collector. possibly hinting that he is a creation#of the pale king?#so many goodies#hollowknight theory#fan theory#hollowknight headcannon

Space Craft! Make NASA-Inspired Creations for World Embroidery Day
It’s time to get crafty with some needle and thread. At NASA, we hope to inspire art of all kinds. To highlight #WorldEmbroideryDay on July 30, we want to know: does our imagery inspire you? Show us your art and we may feature it on social media.
How?
Search for a NASA image that inspires you. Here are a few places to get you started: Hubble, James Webb Space Telescope, Ocean Color, Landsat and Earth Observatory
Create. Over the years, we've seen a growing number of embroidered pieces that showcase our organization's research, especially with needlepoint.
Share your creation, along with the image it was inspired by, on social media using the hashtag #NASAEmbroidery. We will share selected pieces on July 30 for World Embroidery Day
Why?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d465230105ad3e950556c805b4277337/ee29d8ca4df70ed2-a6/s540x810/f63ceca081d78cdde664f6ac88ddcb68c453e2b7.jpg)
NASA imagery has many functions. From studying distant galaxies to tracking ocean health, our scientists use these images to not only monitor our home planet, but better understand life beyond our solar system.
Embroidery is an ancient craft that has experienced a revival over the years. It involves decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn. Have you recently taken up embroidery? What images are you inspired by? We’d love to see it.
Image Resources for #NASAEmbroidery Inspiration
NASA Images
Hubble Image Gallery
NASA’s Ocean Color Image Gallery
James Webb Space Telescope
Landsat Image Gallery
Create and Share Your #NASAEmbroidery
Take a picture of your piece and upload it to Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr or Facebook. Make sure you use the hashtag #NASAEmbroidery so we know that you are taking part in the event and make sure that your privacy permissions allow us to view your post.
If the piece catches our eye, we may share your work on NASA’s main social media accounts as well as theme-related ones. We may also feature your art in a NASA Flickr gallery and our Tumblr pages. We’ll contact you directly to grant us permission to feature your work. You can follow @NASA on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for embroidery creations, which will be featured from July 30-Aug. 1
Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

The fandom wiki does not have it updated so here goes nothing.
If you input DESTRUCTION IS A FORM OF CREATION into the computer you get this page.

Japanese Artist Transforms Ordinary Stones into Enchanting Figurines
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ec60e005aad7d6257270ff6587063a17/f9afda39e1d347c4-80/s540x810/c1bd418c146e9d959da2c9484ddc44ba3e92c7cd.jpg)
Akie Nakata, a self-described “stone artist” from Japan, creates enchanting animal figurines that are more than just painted rocks—they are soulful, lifelike beings with stories to tell. For Akie, the artistic journey begins long before she picks up her paintbrush. It starts with finding the perfect stone, one that seems to call out to her as much as she chooses it.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/85a00dce61dbd0f911cca6c498185268/f9afda39e1d347c4-58/s540x810/4c584c40e2e48ee76e2b0f67bc70a87dd2196f90.jpg)
Unlike many artists who shape or alter their materials, Akie honors the natural form of each stone, believing that its unique shape and texture are integral to the story it holds. She views stones not as inanimate objects, but as silent witnesses to Earth’s history, each carrying a spirit within. “I feel the breath of life inside each stone,” she explains, describing her creative process as a collaboration between herself and the stones. She often speaks to them as she works, allowing an unspoken dialogue to guide her brushstrokes.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c872dba2bdb25e1d557fb020fe30d00a/f9afda39e1d347c4-98/s540x810/77312042f53be9f6356853935a5c522d947debbe.jpg)
Akie’s journey as a stone artist began in 2010, although her fascination with both stones and animals dates back to childhood. The turning point came when she stumbled upon a rock shaped unmistakably like a rabbit. It was a moment of revelation that inspired her to merge her love for collecting stones with her passion for drawing animals.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3648788f82e09f8378a4b1944f52f35c/f9afda39e1d347c4-a4/s540x810/d6416221aa20cf81677d5e8362217865c46d3e07.jpg)
Her process is deeply thoughtful. Before applying any paint, Akie carefully considers how to bring out the essence she sees within each stone. The final and most significant detail she adds is the eyes. To her, a piece isn’t complete until the eyes are “alive and looking straight at me,” capturing the spirit she feels within the stone.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4f3ef68ad165baa1246227c1340f0b6a/f9afda39e1d347c4-91/s540x810/a3cc0041782ea9abebb3aff633b2612a68d907a6.jpg)
“I don’t aim to simply paint detailed images,” Akie says. “My goal is to breathe life into the stone, to reveal the living soul I sense inside it.” This philosophy shines through in every creation, from serene owls perched on pebbles to playful cats curled into natural grooves.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/922685112099a623404c17d792e947cc/f9afda39e1d347c4-18/s540x810/184e0c2684d3d93c957d782336c92df9d7a66013.jpg)
Akie’s art has captivated tens of thousands of fans worldwide. She occasionally makes her painted stones available “for adoption” via her Facebook page, but demand is fierce—many pieces are claimed within minutes of being posted. Interestingly, she doesn’t accept custom orders, as her creative process relies entirely on the spontaneous connection she feels with each stone she encounters.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/534b7e4cd4200d3d0b4874f0042c1a76/f9afda39e1d347c4-5a/s540x810/9df485c46d021fefbc3f87df91ff5716f555a070.jpg)
For Akie Nakata, each stone is more than a canvas—it’s a partner in art, a fragment of Earth’s history, and a vessel for new life through the power of imagination.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bb4ac23a638e620de82b219054813e83/f9afda39e1d347c4-a4/s540x810/eaa54a0766d9df229121def31fd0e20e637fe8fe.jpg)

Lingthusiasm Episode 98: Helping computers decode sentences - Interview with Emily M. Bender
When a human learns a new word, we're learning to attach that word to a set of concepts in the real world. When a computer "learns" a new word, it is creating some associations between that word and other words it has seen before, which can sometimes give it the appearance of understanding, but it doesn't have that real-world grounding, which can sometimes lead to spectacular failures: hilariously implausible from a human perspective, just as plausible from the computer's.
In this episode, your host Lauren Gawne gets enthusiastic about how computers process language with Dr. Emily M. Bender, who is a linguistics professor at the University of Washington, USA, and cohost of the podcast Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000. We talk about Emily's work trying to formulate a list of rules that a computer can use to generate grammatical sentences in a language, the differences between that and training a computer to generate sentences using the statistical likelihood of what comes next based on all the other sentences, and the further differences between both those things and how humans map language onto the real world. We also talk about paying attention to communities not just data, the labour practices behind large language models, and how Emily's persistent questions led to the creation of the Bender Rule (always state the language you're working on, even if it's English).
Click here for a link to this episode in your podcast player of choice or read the transcript here.
Announcements: The 2024 Lingthusiasm Listener Survey is here! It’s a mix of questions about who you are as our listener, as well as some fun linguistics experiments for you to participate in. If you have taken the survey in previous years, there are new questions, so you can participate again this year.
In this month’s bonus episode we get enthusiastic about three places where we can learn things about linguistics!! We talk about two linguistically interesting museums that Gretchen recently visited: the Estonian National Museum, as well as Mundolingua, a general linguistics museum in Paris. We also talk about Lauren's dream linguistics travel destination: Martha's Vineyard.
Join us on Patreon now to get access to this and 90+ other bonus episodes. You’ll also get access to the Lingthusiasm Discord server where you can chat with other language nerds.

Miniature Artist Transforms Household Objects Into Tiny Scenes Full of Whimsy and Wonder
by Regina Sienra - My Modern Met, May 28, 2024
Artist Tatsuya Tanaka continues to immerse us in the whimsical world of his creative miniatures. Having devoted himself to building these tiny scenes every single day for the last 13 years, his creations are as exciting and fresh as ever. As charming as his miniature art is, the true beauty of his ongoing art project lies in his materials of choice. Tanaka uses household objects—from ordinary white bread to a simple wallet—to breathe life into these little worlds.
Tanaka's miniature compositions are part of his never-ending Miniature Calendar, a project that has seen him create a new scene with household objects and tiny people daily since 2011. His images are influenced by anything from pop culture and world events to seasons and holidays. Lately, his feed has taken great inspiration from spring with cherry blossoms appearing in many of his leisurely compositions—including one of bikers by a riverbank and another of a serene carriage ride by a sakura tree. He also celebrated Star Wars Day with an R2-D2 sauce dispenser and Mother's Day with a heart bouquet.
Despite his use of everyday objects, Tanaka's miniature scenes exude a sense of wonder and adventure. In some of his latest creations, his tiny characters visit a spoon-based waterpark, take a brush boat to go dolphin-watching, and play a game of table tennis on a deck of cards. And since leisure is enhanced by a little culture, his cleverly crafted images take us to a jazz concert lit up by the pages of a book. And he has another music-themed piece where a piano is made out of a cassette tape. His imagination is limitless!
Pop culture is also a massive element of Tanaka's work. He recently included some beloved characters from Japanese productions, like Dragon Ball and Studio Ghibli. In one of his most clever recreations, Chihiro from Spirited Away rides the train; but if you look closely, the windows are actually made out of blue eyeshadow. Meanwhile, Nobi from Doraemon cries with the help of two slices of onion; and the golden details of Dragon Ball‘s prideful Vegeta‘s suit are actually pieces of tortilla chips.
To stay up to date with Tanaka's creations, make sure to follow him on Instagram.

Expressions of Alterhumanity: A Shared Experience
When we talk about alterhuman expression, like the concept itself, it is often something personal, singular, and individualized.
But as a community, we do have community expression.
These come in the forms of inside jokes, in-community memes, events like howls, or as a convention hosted. It’s in the form of various collaborative digital zines, the data presented from the many surveys, even as some within a system engage in these miniature community expression through the creation of a collective sona.
The soup meme (Daski, Othercon), the various community mascots out of the “create a creature” panels in conventions (Daski and Nova), slogans and sayings like “feed your local archivist” (Page) or “you can do whatever you want forever” (Centaurus Festival).
It’s us putting forth ideas together, and all of our personal experiences combined into an amalgamation of expressions.
It can also still be a mixture of personal and community. In character maker shared, and everyone presented what they’d used the character builder to make something as close to an approximate of their identities, and showed it to their fellow community members. It is sort of amazing how even when using the same tool, we all are each so distinctively ourselves.
We may come together to put together a playlist with songs that connect to each of us differently, and maybe when others listened, they also found new songs they resonate with.
We may participate in community-wide art trade or gifting, getting to learn about our fellow alterhumans via expressing via art their various identities. Or maybe visual artists put down their brushes to paint scenes that capture the moment between members.
It is always in between the terminologies created to speak of our experiences, the long discussion we shared about our perspectives and stories, the prompts inviting folks to create and express our identities or selves, and the very community we made in various forms, physical meetups or virtual—on discord, dreamwidth, tumblr, reddit, tiktok, amino, bluesky, facebook, forums, etc.
And sometimes, we just want all flock and lounge on a sunny rocc, making noises at each other and sharing our food together.

Jess Piper at The View from Rural Missouri:
“If you’re not at the table, then you're probably on the menu.” ~Ann Richards A few days ago, I had some thoughts on churches. I read a post about a local church in St Joseph, Missouri and its activities during the holiday season. This specific church has been meddling in local politics for years and I started thinking about their tax-exempt status. After I called the church to check on their activities in helping others in the community, I realized that they were not helping in their community other than offering up their congregants as free labor to other organizations who help in the community.
Churches are tax-exempt because they offer services that local government can’t or won’t. Food pantries. Free clothing closets. Help with natural disasters. This church is doing none of that except sending their members to serve in ministries provided by other non-profits. They keep their tax-free tithes for themselves. After researching, I wrote this post on Blue Sky: This post did fairly well for Blue Sky. It’s not Twitter viral, but still pretty good. I am a creator. A writer. I am also constantly plagiarized. You might be surprised by who is lifting my intellectual property. It’s the massive “progressive” accounts who steal from small authors like myself. It’s “Feminist News” or “Occupy Democrats” or “The Other 98%” who take the ideas and thoughts and writing of progressives like me. They do it so often that readers and followers don’t even notice.
But I do. They have taken my words — word for word — too often. They do it regularly. Just go look at the pages of these huge accounts. They turn the writings of others into meme form and post online with zero attribution. A friend sent me the above screenshot. “Feminist News” ripped off my quote about churches word for word without attribution. They have nearly 2 million followers on Facebook alone. I asked them to cite me and it took dozens of others in their comments for them to edit their post and add my name. But, they didn’t add my name to the meme — it is still being shared thousands of times without a citation. This happens frequently, but what really sticks in my craw is that this is a progressive account that claims to back feminism, yet they lift the words of progressive women creators with alarming regularity. I have people tell me that “it doesn’t matter who the messenger is, but that the message is getting out.”
[...]
Where are the women? What is going on? Do we honestly think women won’t be involved in the writing and creation of bills and laws and committee work? Of course they will. Will they receive credit for their work? Likely not — they will be behind the scenes writing the questions and statements and legislation for committee men. Their work will be taken and used by the men acting as committee chairs. Women, even women lawmakers, have been pushed behind the scenes. This makes it difficult to put women’s issues front and center.
We are being pushed back into the shadows. Behind the curtain. And if the Republicans have anything to do with it, probably behind the veil. Let’s not forget that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was passed by Congress in 1972, but it has not yet been ratified and is not part of the U.S. Constitution. The ERA has been reintroduced in every session of Congress since 1982, but it has not been ratified. It’s time to ratify the ERA. It’s time to stand with women and make sure we are represented and legally protected in all facets of life including government. Especially in times like these. It is also time for women to demand equal pay for equal work. It is time to demand citations and attributions and a seat at the table. It is time for us to stand up for ourselves and the young women coming behind us. Our work is often co-opted and it’s time we demand better. Cite us. Pay us.
Jess Piper delivering an important message that it’s important to credit a person’s work. Also, it’s time to ratify the ERA.

where: somewhere public who: open @aurorabaystarter
While Alara didn't have her own shop or anything, her cousin had let her set up a little work studio in his house, which Alara was definitely grateful for. She didn't really have any other way of making income, and there weren't many jobs going for a seamstress. Alara had posted about her services to the community Facebook page that she'd found, as well as making a few little posters to hang around town with her number on them, offering her services for mending and adjusting garments, to full costume creation. Though Alara didn't expect much of that.
Still, she was grateful for any jobs that came her way, brown eyes coming up as she heard footsteps, recognising the person who'd messaged her on Facebook. "Hi. I'm Alara."

Just learned one of my favorite Ocean liner/Titanic artists, Anton Logvynenko, is dead.

From the Titanic community, I've learned he is Ukrainian and joined their military last year, to protect his homeland from Russia. He was killed fighting in the front lines on November 27.
His post from his Facebook page talking about joining the fight: link
"Hello there ocean liners lovers!
I'm sorry for not being posting here my new artworks or any updates for a while... The process of creation one digital drawing takes about 3 months itself but now situation is more complicated.
As you may know, russia has attacked my country and they are trying to occupy the whole Ukraine and even move forward to Europe. So I joined our Military Forces of Ukraine to protect my homeland.
I hope to get back to you soon with my new drawings after our Victory. But till this happens I ask you to support Ukraine and our army in any suitable for you way.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours, Anton Logvynenko"
