Scribbling along...

I will put things up here to see if I will ever improve… or not, I will see :) Who knows. It’s only pencil, since I mostly draw when I’m in any kind of moving vehicle… or watch something. Ah well. Whatever.

A lemon pig has been crafted for the New Year, stay tuned for updates of its development :)

[valdevia]

Update 1 month on. He's not doing ok

[valdevia]

Oh.

[valdevia]

Sorry guys I forgot to check in on lemon pig for a couple weeks

So is it normal for rotting lemons to... grow???

[implourium]

it is! rotting lemons can expand upon themselves in the right circumstances.

this is commonplace and natural, you've nothing to fear :)

[valdevia]

Oh phew!

And here I was starting to get worried. Silly me :)

[valdevia]

So uuh when are the growths supposed to stop :/

[valdevia]

Starting to get worried. Looks like it might burst...

[kyri45]

oh look it’s the “REDACTED” squad! (Part of my Second Backup AU, PREV)

also it’s really hard to describe stuff with limited vocabulary.

i dont remember where i read it but to whoever said to freeze a wet towel into a travel pillow shape to lay in your neck: thank u for ur wisdom🧎‍♀️

[queermystic]

When I was a kid my dad kept clean, wet, washcloths in the door of the freezer in summertime and whenever it got too hot he would hand them out to us kids and have us put them on our: wrists, forehead, in the bend of our elbows and on the backs of our knees, and then hold them on the back of our neck until we were cool.

Applying the cold compress to your pulse points helps bring down your internal body temperature and then leaving it on the back of your neck it keeps you at the cooler temp for longer.

And if you have space in your freezer and a fan available you can freeze a bottle/jug/bowl of water[whatever works for your living space] and then sit the ice either in front or behind the fan [whichever works best for your airflow situation] and the melting ice will cool the air being moved around by the fan, providing a makeshift AC effect.

It's not perfect but It will cool down an enclosed space by a few degrees, which makes all the difference in these temperatures.

Another tip which might seem janky but I SWEAR it works in desperate times, Basically, if your house isnt properly insulated against the heat, you can DIY that shit:

Hang Heavy duty Thermal Blankets over all the windows in your living space. I'm talking pinned or tacked or even nailed if you own your own home, in every corner, and as close to the actual window pane as possible, preferably you want zero light in or out, and if possible insulate the windows themselves with towels tucked in and around where they open.

Blocking out the radiant heat from the windows + any heat seeping through the improperly sealed windows will cool your home down at least 20°, which can be a life and death difference in these kinds of temperatures. And it will also hopefully prevent any cool air you do have in your home from escaping.

If you have window screens you can leave a window or two cracked open just a smidge for better airflow and circulation, you dont want to suffocate in an attempt to escape the heat lol, if you cant safely leave a window cracked open just remember to open your doors and let in fresh air once in a while haha.

[vale-gaai]

Thanks for the tips! Ive already used most of these were applicable. Nailing into stone walls is gonna be tough, for example, but ive hung blankets outside the windows where possible. Hanging reflective foil/thermal blankets inside of a double-pane window with these temps can damage the glass due to the stark temperature difference at a gap in the foil, so be careful with that one; outside is safer.

Ive not yet used the ice + fan trick cause i dont want the air to become even more humid and it's not that hot yet inside, but setting up a cooling space is a good one, esp for the dog! 22° diff with the outside is insane, let's see if we can get anywhere close to that

What I've told them: 1. "I don't know how I got here." Seems good to start with a straight truth

2. "I'm not religious anymore." They seem more familiar with Pre-Eden Christianity, anyway, which is weird (time travel?)

3. "I'm from somewhere without stars or planets." Didn't know I had to hide that one until it was too late. They know about the QR & that some stations survived. I'm keeping the moons a secret.

4. "The COI & Eden are organizations that hate me." Not much more. I'd rather die before I talk about the Eel.

I've already told them more than I want to. It'll be harder to get them to slip up.

Keep it simple. Keep track of what they say. I survived that death trap, I can figure out what the hell is up with two dumbasses in a tin can.

Please excuse them. They’re having a MomentTM (Prev )

Welcome to the weekly episode of “how can these two bitches be gay enough to kill a straight man”

On this weekly episode of 3 idiots in a tin can-

Simon bachelor specialization is trying to stay alive. The Graces make first contact, again, and Simon has regular panic and then gay panic (PREV)

[stealingpotatoes]

i don't know what older adults were on about when they said being a teenager was good <3

[bronzeplates]

a non-canon mini comic for fun

just to reiterate, this is NOT canon to the comic. or to either movie probably lol.

just love the idea that the reason simon didn't listen to the written stuff was because it sucked to read (and not, like, either defiance or a purposeful disregard for the sake of survival)

i feel like you can tell through how little i fuck with grace's glasses in the usual comic that i wear glasses IRL. if my glasses aren't perfectly aligned on my face i am SHOVING them back in place. ryan gosling obviously does not wear glasses regularly

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined
