re: #tattoos #advice
To mirror the bite, on my right shoulder I see overlaid fern and bracken fronds, arranged in a similar shape to the bite’s outline. I want to have the concepts drawn by Tandye, and then work with the tattoo artist to refine them.

I intend to get a werewolf bite scar on my left shoulder, either on the upper arm or over the collar bone, visible from the front and back. Something like this but a little more stylized (closeup from an image by “thedrawingduke” on Instagram)
imo @mavica_again could make a living just #writing about tech – #software and #hardware. i saw a series of Discord posts it made about Tec Toy (a South American toy & electronics company that basically bullied Sega and Nintendo into sweetheart deals in the 80s and 90s) and it was one million times more interesting than reading another white dude's blog post about maximizing productivity with Obsidian on the iPad or whatever. someone get it a #job posting more cool shit!

Twitter functioned as an emotion absorber/reflector/refractor/amplifier/outlet for a lot of people for a long time. Replacements doesn’t work quite the same. You find yourself without a firstline coping mechanism. It’s ultimately a healthy reset but it can be hard. You’re adjusting to sitting with yourself more and re-learning other ways of managing what bubbles up all the time. I think it’s profoundly healthy, surprisingly challenging.
I can imagine it being excruciatingly difficult for some.
I’m 31 minutes into @atpfm episode 515 and I’m already anticipating next episode's follow-up about the tidal wave of justifiably furious feedback (and hopefully polite education) that @marcoarment receives from artists in the show's audience. Scraping art from the internet to use as training data for AIs is repugnant, scammy, and harmful to artists, and it surprises me to hear someone with such a strong sense of fairness and justice come out in support of it.
@alexcox to pre-empt potential questions:
1) I took that photo during a trail race (this is a climb called “Galactic Scheisse”)
2) I live in London, Ontario, Canada, not the London on the Bad European Island
3) I express my queer tackiness through rainbow gradients
