not to simp for a corporation but I love my Framework laptop so much. last week I accidentally sat on it and cracked the screen. I went to the manufacturer's website, ordered a new screen for a reasonable price, and when it arrived it took 10 minutes to install. no glue, no "warranty void" tamper seals, just a handful of screws that I only needed one screwdriver to turn. the new screen even came with some fun stickers that say things like "you should be able to fix your stuff". please please buy repair-friendly stuff when you can

Was at a café with an art exhibition today.

And there was an artist that had eight pieces, seven of which were decent photos and one of which was a photo with an ai background.

And i zeroed in on that ai piece so fast that I didnt even realize they were part of the same collection. Because not only was it ai, but compositon-wise it was much weaker than the others. Because of the AI background, I was aware of its other failures.

And then, because this one seemed so low-effort, I started questioning the legitimacy of his photos, which were perfectly fine and some of them i really liked. Like... not are these ai, but like... are they actually yours?

And then, because I spent so much time on this one guy's poorly composited AI piece, I forgot to enjoy the other artists on that wall.

When I was in art school, they told us that a collection is only as strong as its weakest piece, so when choosing your piece make sure they are a show of your best and that they work together. And I thought that was silly. But now that I see it in action im like... damn, it really does work that way sometimes.

I found you on Patreon! cause I just watched the body (Buffy) and am not ok

lol interplatform communication.

Crazier part for me is that I planned to make an angsty fanfic with my significant gay other where Phil get's the diagnosis said character has before The Body (unclear whether he survives or not) BUT then we kept procrastinating and now there is a random fanfic (super well done!!) of the same thing? Like what are the chances a phannie who hasnt watched BTVS chose the same super specific thing lol. (Read it if you like well-done angst with loads of sweetness snuck in! https://archiveofourown.org/works/77728366 HE LIVESSSSS) Anyway, I'm only three or four episodes ahead of you and they are still lowkey painful. I don't want to spoil my moots this wonderful narrative decision but if you allow me, I just want to say that OH GOD I NEED PHIL TO ANALYSE THE EDITING CHOICES. The camera pans? The shakiness? The sound effects? The way the characters kept being switched so we time skipped periods of diassociation? The way they explored Anya's humanity, Willow's anxiety, Xander's frustrated helplessness, Gile's maturity, Buffy's... everything? The non-magic-world of it all until the last tense little fight, showing us Buffy can't escape it all even amidst a tragedy? EVIL. PERFECTION. OUCH. Please Sister Daniel in the sky, I pray to any deities to PLEASE make Phil have the sudden desire to upload a 3 hour analysis on The Body.
