I think everyone's gotten theirs by now, so please enjoy the linocut I designed, carved, printed on cards and sent out for February's International Correspondence Writing Month :)
[Image Description 1: A black linocut print featuring a moth with sparkling star eye patterns on its six wings and surrounded by a starburst of lines and small stars. End description.]
Some process and more details under the cut - including the other stamps I carved to go on the envelopes and inside the cards!
Please enjoy my chaotic printing station and my beautiful stack of shelves, baskets, and my baking racks being used as a place for all the prints to dry (well, most of them)
I also carved individual stamps of the starry eyeballs based off the eye shapes in the moth's wings. I love love love love how they came out, and also had a lot of fun with the variety of little star stamps I made to embellish things with.
[Image ID 2: A photo of my kitchen table overtaken by a precarious stack of wire shelves and racks that are covered in drying prints. In front of the drying prints is my printing surface where the ink, roller, and the linocut are visible. Image ID 3-4: Photos of the envelopes used to send the cards, they've got stars stamped on the front and a large starry eye stamped on the flap. The eyes are two different variations of a similar design and match the eye pattern on the moth's wings. End Description.]
For funsies, please also enjoy how gorgeous this design came out on brown paper
[Image Description 5: Another image of the same print, this time on brown paper intead of white]

therapy, huh
#phrygian#palisade#friends at the table#fatt#rosa art#palisade 20#the worksheet. is also phrygian to be clear like i have to believe that a twilight mirage trained therapist would give out better material#than something i made in 10 minutes.#the branched....... the branched. branched concept of mental health care? who even knows. but it also has to be better.#and they definitly dont have worksheets. phrygian can make a bad one & then not really fill it out. it makes sense to me#i relistened to the therapy session to get the. timeframes saffron mentioned right and its like.wow this got even more depressing#in retrospect.#i tried really hard to make the worksheet look worse by scanning & printing & scanning it again but we JUST got a new printer at work#alas. it works too well.#btw can you tell im having fun with screentones? because i am.#its a nice solution for 'i dont want this in monotone but i ALSO dont want to color'#id in alt text#i hope its fine.#palisade spoilers#but from like 4 episodes ago.im just careful.#i havent listened to the new ep yet idk if ill get to it tomorrow?#MAN............... phrygian : (

As Tales of Symphonia was my first Tales game and the only game I've beaten like five times completely... it holds a special place in my heart. I really love the cast and I was a walking strategy guide for it back in the GameCube days.
I had all the unlockable outfits carried over into NG+ (gotta collect those swimsuits baby) and honestly. I just. Really like this game. I haven't played it in a while but I have it on PS3 and now I long to hook it up and play it (sorry to my many other Tales games I haven't beaten once on PS3......).
#tales of symphonia#colette brunel#martel yggdrasill#i love my dottr coletteeeeeeeeeeeeee#and also i love everyone but anyway here hi hello#this game really hit me as a kid and i dont know if id enjoy it as much now but i still wanna try again lol#my kiddos......#did i possibly print out the strategy guides from gamefaqs and then proceed to memorize all the solutions back in the day?#yes i did indeed print out SO MANY guides for various things for this game#but hey man i had a blast with learning everything#granted my memory is now fuzzy but its to be expected after so long

the frustrating aromantic representation of chuck tingle's "bury your gays"
i feel like i should preface this by saying that i'm a huge chuck tingle fan and, representation aside, i greatly enjoyed his book. so this is not like, a hate take down. this will contain spoilers for bury your gays, you are warned.
the parts i have issues with will be more towards the end and are marked.
a quick synopsis: misha is a queer horror writer who is told to either kill off his gay characters after getting them together, or let them live and be straight (for the algorithm, ratings, etc). while he is reeling from this he begins being stalked by the monsters/villains of his past works. plot happens and these monsters are really nanobot contractions from his studio's fx company. misha survives these attempts on his life (and his boyfriend's and best friend's), eventually giving a heartfelt award speech about the need for a shift towards queer joy. when he comes back to work the entire studio is like decked out in pride flags and the now stereotypically gay management tells him that queer is IN! even better, it's profitable (according to the algorithm). but these nanobots are still out there. so they go to the fx studio to insert a virus that takes them down, the best friend, tara, being an unprecedented aroace that the algorithm has no information on due to a lack of content, is able to circumvent the nanobots and take them down!! happy ending!! yippee!!
i'll be going in order of the book, touching on the times where tara's identity is relevant
tara's aspecness is established almost immediately when she says "you know i don't swing that way...i don't swing any way, baby." classic aspec joke, i have no issue with this.
its first explicit mention is on page 42, "tara is aromantic and asexual, which has always made me appreciate her take on relationship advice." ok this part is so real. we are so good at that.
ok now we get into the main stuff. Tara says, "do you realize how hard it is to tell your parents you're asexual?" this part is true, and in comparison to misha coming out as gay. and i really appreciate it highlights the strange societal position aspecs are in!! it's hard to affirm an identity defined by a lack. and even harder for baby wanting parents to accept an identity that is largely incompatible with the nuclear family model. as this is in reference to like sex -> having a child, mentioning just the asexuality makes sense. but it is still weird to not mention how hard explaining aromanticism would be considering aces can more easily have straight passing relationships. let's begin a tally: ace mentions: 2, aro mentions: 1.
(!) time skip we are now towards the end. misha is giving his heartfelt speech, "i call on all of you to usher in a new era of stories where the gay, or bi, or lesbian, or asexual, or pansexual, or trans character lives happily ever after. buy those stories. make those stories profitable." we are now entering the territory here i begin to get a little angry. fandoms and drama in shows are so closely tied with romance. they are profitable. they are like, the lifeblood of ao3, etc. people also have this notion that you need a partner to be happy, and that this is a universal goal. so characters and story arcs that stray away from this tend to be, y'know, less profitable. and since this is extremely relevant to aromanticism as an identity and important to debunk, the lack of a mention of aromanticism is frankly stunning. our stories are not wanted, we have no characters to live happily ever after. because we are not profitable. we don't get that joy. so where are we? this is a nitpick but i find it strange that misha would forget to mention like, entirely half of his friend's identity. ace mentions: 3, aro mentions: 1
(!!!) this is the most egregious part to me. when i read this part i was genuinely so stunned that i started crying. ok so i've established that aros have very little representation. it is a fact that there is less aro representation than ace representation. especially in regards to non-ace aros. "there's a hero clad in pink, purple, and blue, the bi one...this continues on and on until every aspect of the community has been covered...tara steps up next to me, her eyes locked on the poster. "there' no asexual hero...they've got everyone up there besides an ace character...every fucking time." ok. so. a lack of representation for aspecs is like a Thing That We All Know. as also established, aros are not algorithm friendly, so i just see no plausible way that there is aro representation but not ace representation. and there's just this like, poetic irony to this. that aros are so forgotten, so uncared for, that the author of the fucking book forgot to even mention them. because there are three ways this shakes out here. either there is an aro in the line up and dr. tingle deprived us of the validation we need to justify our anger for a lack of representation (which effects us all but aros more). or he just straight up forgot to include us. or he's grossly conflating the two identities. there's no good option. anyway. ace mentions: 5, aro mentions: 1
here we have yet another mention of tara being ace, yet not aro, "my name's tara. i'm the asexual in the corner everyone's been ignoring." would be funny if aromanticism hadn't been grossly ignored once again. ace mentions: 6, aro mentions: 1
(!!!) time for tara to save the day (girlboss). "just pull up all the information you have on asexual and aromantic heroes...oh wait, that's gonna be pretty fucking difficult because there are almost no human asexual heroes represented in popular media, are there." like actually like the fuck. what the fuck. there are so little aro heroes that the author forgot about the one he had!! there are so little aro heroes that the author fucking forgot to mention how few there are. incredible. ace mentions: 10, aro mentions: 2 (ace mentions not quoted here but part of the rant)
so. thats the end of the book. it seems to me that dr. tingle might be a little confused. he's been a great supporter in the past of the aspec community. but there is a pattern of aro erasure in this book that frankly, pisses me off! but wait, there is more!
dr. tingle. babygirl. bestie. what the fuck is this? op explicitly said aroace character. and what do you do? you reblog with only an ace flag. do you not remember your character's own identity? or do you not acknowledge aros outside or aces? let's look at some more quotes from this post.
wow thanks for the solidarity dr. tingle (like, actually)!
what is this? whoopty fucking doo! aros totally dropped after their initial mention? again! but there is simply no precedent for this!!
i'd like to end this with a quote by dr. tingle.
glad you remembered the aces. maybe next time, remember the marginalized people you leave behind.
#sorry guys im so mad about this#please don't send me death threats#if being ace is more important to tara then fine#then why does the rest of the book forget?#chuck tingle#bury your gays#aromantic#speaketh the empress#dr tingle i SWEAR im such a fan#i just like getting what i was promised (good rep)#i literally cried after i finished this book because i was just#steaming#didn't even touch on the entire love is real slogan#where do loveless aros fit in#thats not a tingle specific issue but i would like to see him talk about it#solutions? second printing fix this

I need IDW to do like a made to order print service of their Sonic comic covers. like redbubble or something. buying the comic isn't enough, I want it plastered on my wall or on a mug
#i'm trying to cut back on going to the comic book store and buying the same issue in print when I have it digitally#but also holding the art in my hand makes me happy#part of this is because the comic and other print forms are the only merch i can get of certain characters#so the real solution is for the figure and plush lines to expand to more comic characters#majobun chatter

whenever i pull stuff from my archives for a fun little post and then ppl get on twitter and act weird about it, it reminds me why i don’t share all the stuff i have saved.
#like i saw multiple tweets about ppl wanting to print out that pic and show it to quinn and it’s like . ok so now i regret posting that 👍#the more u shove stuff like this in their faces the LESS content we get. WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS 😭😭😭😭#i have way more halloween pics that are never getting posted now#blame the clout chasers of hockey twitter#i know ppl accuse me of being a huge asshole who loves to gatekeep but i would LOVE to share more stuff#i just am stuck in this bind where i am very aware that a lot of what i dig up ends up blowing up on hockey twitter#and so i try to be so careful and thoughtful but like . idk what to do u guys. i guess the only solution is just keep stuff to myself?#i really do want to share goodies w u all but i don’t feel like i can when this happens every time 😖😖😖

Hey all! Interested in maaaaaybe selling these lil replica Pinkie Cooper heads. Would anyone be interested? Mostly making em for myself, but I am curious.
They come with eyes, front head, back head.
I’d also be happy to do trades for em, if anyone is interested.
Stl by
Currently fresh off the printer and un-sanded, back of head is still printing. Will be sanded soon.
#pinkie cooper#doll#3D printed doll#doll custom#I love these dolls and am mad they cost sm lol#so this was the solution

I know everyone does odd stuff to justify large purchases, but 3D printer enthusiasts love to go about problem solving in ways that seem more difficult and less accurate than if they would just forget about using their 3D printers.
like, this person didn't need a 3D printed tool to sew straighter hems. they just needed to iron their folds first.
#it never seems like 3D printing-only people every really research other hobbies when they do stuff like this#its like they just assume printing something is always the best option#i havent delved into anything enough to form an opinion backed with evidence#but it wouldn't surprise me if the people doing this assume solutions utilizing more advanced tech#are inherently superior to ones that utilize traditional skills or information

paneling for comics that won't be printed is so weird because for physical ones you have the restriction of how much can you physically fit into a fairly small paper + how small can a font be while still readable, but for digital art it's just whatever......
#coming to the realization that idk how many pages im actually capable of drawing bc ive only kinda taken this into account a couple of times#the solution is ig to draw as if i were actually planning on printing it........ mhmmm#mar's midnight rambles

terrifying body horror nightmare. fortunately wasn't real
#nothing actually happened but i knew it would and i was desperately searching for a cure beforehand#i got someone to 3d print me a replacement body but it wasn't a good solution and it was taking long#the whole time i was frantic wishing i wasn't in that situation#EXTREME relief on waking up. good lord

New study into solute transport and solidification mechanisms in additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is a rapidly growing technology with the potential to revolutionize many industries. However, AM parts can be susceptible to defects, such as porosities and cracks, which can limit their performance and reliability. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials, and University of Leicester, have developed a computational model to reveal how solute trapping occurs during the rapid solidification process in additive manufacturing (AM). The study, published in Nature Communications, provides new insights into the solute transport and solidification mechanisms in AM, which could lead to the development of new materials and processes for 3D printing.

I finally put this in my guest bathroom where people will be forced to make eye contact with it.
#by bug#lately I’ve been having a lot of fun decorating more#I got a lot of art prints I like and have slowly been putting them up#my stairway of knights still makes me really happy every time I use it#and my OC corner which is kind of cheesy but sometimes I just go stare at my children and feel joy#I didn’t really get to decorate in any way I wanted at the house so I’ve been trying to put a lot of love and fun into my place#still have one room I need to work on more but I haven’t found a storage solution for it that I’m happy with yet

putting labels on things can be a really good adhd accomodation
#personal#i was thinking about this because of mtg#i had a lot of fun playing mtg recently but also i kept forgetting which dice were tokens#and which dice were +1/+1 counters and which cards had triggers i needed to check and what the turn phases were#and my brain kind of turned to mush by the end of the game#some solutions so far have been: i made myself a cue card with the list of turn phases#and my friend suggested i organize my creatures into groups based on triggers#my deck involves a lot of +1/+1 so im planning on 3d printing some little counter dial things#i havent gotten that done yet though so for now im just going to use a specific colour of dice for that and nothing else#anyway the +1/+1 counters are going to be LABELLED#and im thinking once i get my own apartment someday im gonna go nuts with the labelmaker#no more washing dishes and then staring blankly into the cabinet like 'where do i keep the bowls again'
