hey so Blender announced that AI company Anthropic is now their patron
Anthropic is joining the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron.
good news tho: they might reconsider. especially if more 3D modellers and artists tell them to.
Here's the contact information to do so!
Additionally, here are some of Blender's social medias you can contact:

This is the best subreddit actually
This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

shin....where you been loca??
I’m kinda surprised that nalbinding isn’t as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.
I guess it’s because it’s slower or something.
Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw
It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.
Some people even make rugs.
I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they don’t know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding
Yeah I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.
I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.
It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.
You also don’t need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.
It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.
Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.
I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric
I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials
I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve
I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that I’m on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.

obsessed. also makes sense when you remember than butterflies drink blood
i bet it feels good as fuck to feel good
Just saw a petition in a group chat about "don't bring ICE to Europe!" and I felt insane for a minute. We already have militarised borders and concentration camps for migrants and we let people die in the sea and we banish people to unfamiliar countries and we brutalise them and we terrorise them and we detain and deport them!! The UK and the EU are not the liberal paradises we pretend they are!! Our borders kill people!! We don't need a petition to keep US violence away, we need to organise against the European violence we already have!!
The amount of pictures of people dying in boats trying to get to europe. and the amount of few survivors who then get denied put into prisons (remembering the harlem panopticon where we put immigrants for a while. and i do mean like an actual literal panopticon.) or camps and then send back. and why? because some europeans are so fucking racist and xenophobics theyd rather see their fellow men die than to have absolutely nothing change in their lifes to help these people survive. Words will never be enough to explain my rage for how EU has treated people like absolute fucking cattle. all my life the news here. the politicians. the US is a shithole. the EU is a shithole but tries a lot harder to hide it. theres so much blood on these hands. its sickening.
I keep remembering that fucking post about "Uwu look at Europe's beautiful open borders!!!!" With pictures of a little boundary stone in a field in Belgium or a line painted on a road in Luxembourg, that was circulating around the same time as yet another overloaded boat had been turned back by Greek or Italian coastguards in the middle of the Mediterranean and the International Community(TM) had collectively shrugged when bits of it started washing up in the Greek islands.
The way that Europe has sold itself as such a fluffy woo Good Vibes Only Continent should be studied.
I just want to add this, because I think it's immensely important in these conversations and because it took me 45 minutes to track it down.
The European Union is militarizing Africa's internal borders to curb migration, with little regard for human rights.

Most people don’t even know her name. Alice Parker is her name. Back in 1919, she created and patented a gas powered heating system when most homes were still using fireplaces and coal stoves. She imagined heating an entire home safely, with different rooms warmed individually instead of relying on one fire source. Even though her system wasn’t fully used back then, her ideas are the reason modern central heating and zoning exist today. That’s Black history. That’s legacy.
Did a little digging and found an article talking about her in as much detail as the researcher could find including images from the patent she filed and which discusses how black scientists are often hidden or forgotten:
Beyond mistaken identity and misattributed invention, huge gaps remain in the history of Alice Parker. Here's what one reporter’s research u

How Mexicans feel about duendes too.
True. Most Irish people, as Norwegians do with Trolls, will happily let the 'fairies' be a thing to make tours for tourists and idle threats to make children behave. Most Irish people will have a very normal and mature explanation of fairies as a common folk mythology that expresses some dimension of Irish culture but are not, obviously, to be taken literally.
And most Irish people, if you ask them to move a stone from a fairy circle will immoveably, flatly respond with 'absolutely fucking not'.
Construction projects have had to halt and be abandoned for it.
At work me and a couple coworkers (black, white, and mexican) had a fun discussion on whether there are more ghosts at a hospital or a cemetery.
everyone individually took a moment to specify that ghosts probably aren't REAL real. then weighed in on where and why.
for the record my position was that there's probably way more ghosts in hospitals because that's where people die horribly, but since you can only see ghosts in dark, solitary conditions, graveyards at night is where the majority of ghost sightings occur. hospitals are usually well lit and busy, so even if they're crammed with ghosts the living are too damn busy to see them. meanwhile if a cemetery has even one ghost that followed her corpse there from the hospital, she'll be spotted because that's where all the ghost hunters go to look.
this theory was received as extremely sensible, and a coworker drew the conclusion that that's why abandoned hospitals are even scarier than graveyards. once the place gets abandoned then you can tell how much ghosts got built up.
we all liked this explanation a lot and explained it to everyone else all night. and of course, none of us believe in ghosts.
Beliefs that are more interacted with than believed are so awesome sometimes.
Like this magical supernatural entity almost certainly doesn't actually exist, but that's no excuse to be impolite to them.
