Celestial Oak I painted this over a month ago and totally forgot to post it lol

I love the idea of each acorn containing it's very own universe 🌌 I've also been designing some acorn lanterns, photos coming soon!

You dont know me, I'm just a rando following you and loving your art, but I wanted to thank you. I have an appearance/ body type very similar to Nimue's and I have never been able to see myself in a loving light. I've been in a dark place of really low self esteem for a long time, but when I saw how cute and fun she is, it makes me think that I should look at myself differently too. I wanted to thank you for your art, which challenged my very toxic self opinion. You don't know me, but you've marked me, changed me. Thank you 💖✌️😊

I never realized Nimue could have made an impact on that specific aspect and to such a degree on someone other than myself. I have been thinking about this ask for the day, and pondering how to answer, but words escaped me a little. They still do. I can only say I’m very happy and grateful that a character of mine could bring you some insight on something so personal, truly. I promise I will keep drawing her all cute and fun and very loved by her gorgeous girl — but on top of that, I did a little doodle of her inspired by that one Vanessa Hudgens photoshoot that you have as your pfp, just as a little token for appreciating my work. Thank you a whole lot 💕

The Estate's Secret

(I saw the movie leaks and I was INSTANTLY thrusted back into ATLA hyperfixation and I wanted to give it a go at drawing one of my all time favorite characters because Toph's story is so wonderfully done and theres so much nuance that I HAD to draw em out. This is a two parter piece AND I still have more ideas so buckle up)

Visa plugs its payment network into ChatGPT, letting AI agents shop and pay for users

Visa is embedding its payment network into ChatGPT, allowing the chatbot to shop and complete transactions for users.

Visa said Wednesday that it has embedded its payment network inside of ChatGPT, empowering the chatbot to independently shop and complete transactions on behalf of its user. It means AI agents can not only recommend products but complete the purchase on the user’s behalf, at potentially any merchant that accepts Visa. The payment network’s previous attempts at this technological leap were confined to a single retailer or a small set of enrolled merchants.

Ahhahhahahahhahahahahahhahhaaa.. *deep breath*

AHHHAHAHHAHHAAAA..!!

No

[ralfmaximus]

To be clear: simply having a Visa card isn't a risk for you. Not yet, anyway. You'll have to intentionally link your account to ChatGPT, then go shopping with the chatbot. If you don't do that, you're safe.

Dunno what stupidity they're planning next, but for now? ChatGPT isn't going to rack up $1000 of cat toys without your knowledge unless you're an active ChatGPT user.

i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you

[flameraven]

He’s right.

I’ve finally launched a shop! 🥳 After years of selling at conventions but being too scared/busy/overwhelmed to sell online (yes I think it’s weird too) I’ve fiiiinally done it and am now selling my riso prints, comics, stickers and more on the internet! :-)

Shop illustrated prints, stationery and comics

I’ve been having too much fun decorating all the packages - there’s something SO nice about getting something ready to send physically out into the world!

Shipping is UK-only currently but if you’re from elsewhere and want me to get shipping for your country set up please let me know! :-)

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

Is Africa leading the solarpunk future?

Uganda, Rwanda and South Africa are building solutions that richer nations could learn from

Interesting blog post.

[reasonsforhope]

I've been saying this for like 3 years now!! Always excited to see more coverage of it!!

If you're interested in the future of solarpunk, ecopunk, and a sustainable, livable future, African, South Asian, Latin American, and Indigenous climate movements are absolutely some of the biggest places you should look.
