Self care is going on a 3-hour reblogging spree of a new blog you just found because you're avoiding working on that one thing that makes your brain want to die.

Anyways, hope y'all are enjoying your Friday 💕

Hi hello! 👋 I haven't posted anything of substance here in like (oh geez, checks callendar) 10,000 years 🙃 So I thought I'd share a life update just so y'all know I'm not dead!

I have been out of the country for the last two months on vacation with my friend who has family who live in Australia 🇦🇺 and Sri Lanka 🇱🇰! It was so much fun and I learned so much while I was over there and it was so cool getting to experience these different cultures! Here's some of the shenanigans I got into in Brisbane, Sydney, and the surrounding areas:

[missmisnomer]

And here's a sizzle reel from Sri Lanka! It was hard to whittle it down to just 10 pictures, as I basically made a big loop around the whole country! Started in Colombo, then went to Galle, Ella, Polonnaruwa, Kandy, Anuradhapura, and Trinco. It was such an enriching journey and there's still so much more I didn't see!

Just encountered something that made me so viscerally mad I had to stop everything I was doing and scream about it into the void (you are the void, tumblr, thank you for your time)

Ever seen that little test tube icon at the top of your Google search? That's Search Labs.

This led me to reading about all the "experiments" they have going on and OH BOY, this is the one that got me mad enough to actually leave feedback (bear in mind I like NEVER leave comments or reviews on things so you know it's bad)

Of all the "experiments" they are launching with their Search Labs, this one is the most egregiously transparent attempt to capitalize on the human brain's superiority over a computer's.

I see what they are doing.

"Look at these auto generated images and try your best to tell us what you think the original prompt is! Teehee, isn't this a fun test? Don't you want to have fun?? Play our game, uwu".

This is about as blatant as you can get: they want to train their Ai to get better at generating its frankly often garbage results by using real people to tell it how it could have done better.

My guess as to why Google is even doing this: ◽️Let’s say you use of one of Google's programs to generate an image based on your own personal written prompt (I know YOU wouldn't, fair tumblr user, but stay with me here)

◽️You are subsequently frustrated at the slop Google generated for you, and select a button that says something along the lines of "I am not satisfied with this result".

◽️This auto-triggers something on Google's end, which I assume captures this response along with the image it is attached to.

◽️Now, they can put that picture in front of thousands of unwitting people who can tell Google EXACTLY what "prompt" they associate with that image instead. Exactly the words that it SHOULD be tagged with.

These pieces of ai "art" are NOT good, let me make that clear. What financial benefit would Google have to present a panel of testers with perfectly generated images? To make this game in the first place? The only way ai can advance is when humans tell it what it did wrong. Because the computer doesn't fucking know what a raven vs a writing-desk is. It needs us to give it the words to think. Poor baby gets confused when we are vague. :(

All this under the guise of a cutesy little "test". A "game".

This is not fun, and it is extremely scummy. Do better Google. Be better. I'm attaching some screenshots of the first "level" so you too can enjoy the art of prompting!!! (she says with so much dry sarcasm the Deserts of Arrakis spontaneously turn into an ocean)

And to have the audacity to show the actual real pieces of art made by real artists that they trained this stupid machine with. Fuck entirely off.

Is there like, a market for outgoing, young-ish girls who desperately want to ride a motorcycle but don't want to have to drive it themselves? I have the need for speed but also I can get easily distracted and I don't trust myself with all that unrestrained horsepower. I'd get too many speeding tickets. But!! We also don't even necessarily have to be dating, we can be platonic road warriors? Like, imagine a pillow princess, but more of a passenger princess?

I will sit politely behind you and make conversation when we hit the rest stop, or if you want I can also not say a dang thing the entire time instead. I can be a yapper or a sit-in-silencer. Topics I am well versed in include Elden Ring lore, movie-making behind the scenes, half-remembered biology facts, all the lyrics to dad-rock songs, and so much more! Enjoy the thrill of having a ride-along to all your motorcycling adventures!

But please don't expect me to know anything about motors or mechanical bits or motorcycle culture in general: remember, think of me as an accessory! Something nice you sit on your back seat with a taste for adrenaline and no opinions on Harleys vs Ducatis vs...idk what else there is out there lmao

I just. Want to go. So fast. 🏍💨💨💨

I want to zoom and weave between all the losers stuck in traffic. I want to swerve along empty mountain roads. I also want to just hang on and let someone else do all the hard work. Pretty pleassseee????? 🙏🥺💕

I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground

[silentmagi]

#funny#if the lady's a keeper she would make a funny comment to dissipate the tension#'my good knight though I admire your skills you have no need to fight the whole earth for my sake'

This would be amazing.

[traveleorzea]

"As I was saying, milady," he springs to his feet, declaring proudly, "I worship the very ground you - " before tripping again.

“It seems that in your presence, gravity overcomes me, as is fitting since you are the very sun I orbit.”

“It is no trouble, as in your presence no other could be mistaken for perfect regardless…”

I've never rushed so quickly to make an edit for a post in my life.

I need him carnally

[atombombtom]

As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there's this part that's like "can we get a ring cam!" and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I'm just like fuck she's so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??

[atombombtom]

Like literally every time I see Miss Piggy there's a period where I need to readjust to the fact that it's not a person, and I feel that period is getting longer and longer with every instance

[atombombtom]

now all my Youtube recommendations are filled with Miss Piggy interviews. I’m not complaining. Miss Piggy what’s your secret to ageing so graciously

[bigscaryd]

It's not just the audience; professional journalists, hosts, and actors report it is legitimately difficult to not see the Muppet as a person, and it is, in fact, incredibly easy to interview or act with them once the performer gets properly set up.

[redwaltz]

Like that one time they couldn't figure out why Kermit's audio was so garbage... then realized they'd put the mic on him instead of the performer.

[brunhiddensmusings]

this has been a very longstanding issue - before the muppet show was even a thing some muppets appeared in commercials, such as rolf the dog they had a continual problem where when people directing/shooting the dogfood commercial would give dirrection to rolf that they would be speaking to the muppet, to which rolf REPEATEDLY had to tell them ‘i cant hear you, you have to talk to him’ and point at the performer underneath him rolf is one of the most embarrassing muppets to need this direction as the performer is this, damn, obvious when not on camera

‘sir, i am a bathroom mat, the man you need to talk to is back there’

[petranaradulovic]

I did an interview with Gonzo one time, and when I got into the Zoom call, it was the actor on screen trying to figure out his audio. And then once he did, he went like “OKAY!” and then just like dove to the floor and it was Gonzo and there was never a moment when I doubted that the dude was just Gonzo’s tech guy 

[ariaste]

I have met a muppet-like puppet in real life and when I tell you that my brain was hacked FUCKING INSTANTLY..... It was a person, I swear it was a person. I asked it for a hug (no i was not 5 years old, i was like 28 at this time). i genuinely don't know what came over me, it was just. It was a person???? Witchcraft

[draconym]

A couple years ago, I was invited to the birthday party of one of my former preschool students. I decided to bring my teaching puppet (a big rat) along because I knew several other kids from that class would be there, and she was always a huge hit with them.

They were, of course, very excited to see her. But what surprised me was that after the kids ran off to play in the sprinkler, the parents around me struck up conversation with the puppet. They continued for at least fifteen minutes, asking her questions like, "how long have you been teaching?" and "eaten out of any good dumpsters lately?" until one dad exclaimed "why have I been talking to a rat puppet this whole time!"

[gallusrostromegalus]

There's a guy who comes to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science with life size Skeleton puppets of mammoth/young T-Rex that he wears. You can fully see him in the middle of the skeleton, and it's a SKELETON, but absolutely everyone interacts with the puppets like they're living, breathing animals. I watched multiple people attempt to feed pretzels to the baby rex.

[missmisnomer]

I have always had a deep love for puppets ever since I was little, and after years of admiring from an outside perspective, picking up random ones in stores to faff around with, I finally got the chance to try it out myself when my sister (amazing woman that she is) sewed a puppet for me a couple years ago. I lost my mind. I've never had so much fun with a Christmas present.

His name is Furbert and he is my perfect son (also a bit of a rascal with a sassy streak, but a heart of gold, so we forgive him for any cheekiness 😉). I love taking him out to events to get him into shenanigans. And let me tell you, people LOVE him. I put that furry little sock on my arm, and suddenly it's like I don't even exist anymore. People look at him when he's talking, they ask him questions, they try to hand him things to hold. And it's not just kids: adults get lost in the magic too. You pull out a puppet, and suddenly everyone in a 5 mile radius turns into children again: it's wonderful. 😍

I love how I'm able to just dissappear into the role when I'm actively puppeteering. It's a great way to converse with strangers without worrying about not having anything to talk about: you always have a topic literally sitting right on your hand!! I just made another puppet with my sister, and I've had the same results with her as well. People are always telling me how fun it is, how it brightens their day to escape in the whimsy for a while.

People love puppets almost as much as puppeteers love playing with them 😁💝

trying to get back into the swing of it, so here's some of my doodles just practicing different expressions with rando faces ✏️

[toskarin]

I have a bad habit of calling things "loathsome" if they mildly inconvenience me, which usually isn't that bad, but today I spilled my drink and said "loathsome juice..." under my breath without realizing that's not a normal thing to say

everyone started laughing

[missmisnomer]

Today I was out with my sister and she accidentally left her phone in the bathroom and had to go back inside to get it, and upon retrieving the cellphone she called it a "traitorous wench".

It had me absolutely gobsmacked and I just wanted everyone to experience it as well

[missmisnomer]

Hey, I just wanted to know how you're doing You haven't been posting since the "You will regret your inactions the most" post and I hope its because you have a lot of cool stuff going on irl <3 I just wanted to say interacting with you brought me a lot of joy in the past, and I hope you're doing well

(°▽°) ah geez, been on this website for over ten years and still had no idea asks wind up in a different spot than normal notifications. This was submitted months ago and I only found out because I was doing edits to my account settings whoopsie-doodle (๑-﹏-๑)

Thank you so much kind stranger for the concern, it was honestly so sweet to see when I woke up today!! To be honest, it's been. Odd. I am both doing well and also not great at the same time. ( •̀⤙•́ )

I quit my job about six months ago (for good reasons, very amicable split), then I traveled for two months, and I have been doing a bunch of irl stuff that is very fun! Been spending more time with my nieces than ever before. I've taken up LARPing monthly, I went skiing for the first time in five years, I'm learning how to sew with my sister. I've got plans to do even more traveling this year in the summer which I am very excited for ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

I am at the point where I have more free time than I have had in decades. But I've also created less art now than I did while I was employed. It makes no sense. I'd squeeze every last hour out of the day to capitalize on drawing time, but now that I have all the time in the world, I haven't drawn anything. It's incredibly frustrating, because I feel like I'm doing this to myself for no good reason. (¬_¬") Every time I think to go and sit at my tablet to draw, this big heavy force stops me from doing that.

I'm supposed to be looking for contract jobs right now to keep myself afloat until I get another full-time job in the fall, and I think that's affecting my creativity. Every time I want to create something for myself, a little voice in my mind says "but this time could be spent getting work instead, why aren't you working on your portfolio?? are you this irresponsible?? who'd even want to look at your stupid little doodle anyways??" And I lose any spark I had, and end up doing neither instead. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ughhhhuhhh

The most annoying thing about it all is that I know it's all self-imposed. I'm doing this to myself, holding these ridiculous standards. No one else is telling me these things. It's harder to lose that grindset mindset than I thought. But I'm trying to get better about giving myself the permission to just play around and have fun during this time.

I successfully got diagnosed for ADHD and have finally landed on a medication that I think will really help with the decision paralysis and my focus. ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ I'm also starting therapy as well to work through some of my self-worth issues that I've never properly confronted before.

Just ya know, trying to do some soul-searching and find the kindness to let myself be the real me. Sappy shit like that (〜￣▽￣)〜

Anywho, wow, sorry, this sort of turned into a vent-post/diary entry, but one of the things I'm trying to be better about is telling people in my life how I'm doing and being more vulnerable. Reaching out to start a conversation. Even if it's kinda cringe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've got a small action plan to work on, and I think that's going to help. I'm also thinking of trying out art commissions as well! I feel like that'd be good for me, give me an incentive to stretch those art muscles!! 💪(ˋᵕˊ💪) Because honestly nothing inspires me more than making art for people that will really appreciate it! That's one of the things I love the most about making fanart!

Also deadlines and contracts are really good for me (need that accountability in order to get shit done ehh heh heh). (¯ ∇ ¯٥) so idk, look out for that I guess!! If any of y'all who are still reading this would be interested, I'm working on putting together a rate sheet 👉👈(¯ω ¯๑)

All that to say, thanks for asking anon! I don't know who you are behind that ~☆.𖥔 ݁ ˖*☆𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒏☆*.𖥔 ݁ ˖☆~ but I'm sure I also got a lot of joy out of interacting with you too!!!

Ending this on a possitive note! Mwah mwah, a thousand kisses for all of you!!! (˵˘ ³˘˵) ᯓ💋💋💋

Know that tumblr is literally the only platform I like these days and it's because of all you wonderful freaks!!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝💖

Never change! Love you lots!!!

This post legitimately knocked me out of a doomscroll. Had to put down my phone and everything and stare at a wall.

I really do regret my inaction the most. Every time. All of my future problems are always caused by things I failed to do in the present. And every time, I get so mad at past Me for not even trying because I'm so afraid to fail.

Like. Damn. Didn't expect pixel art of some planets to hit me so hard.

[starlit-bug]

I DO obsessively read peoples tags when they rb my art

And, yes, I DO kick my little feets and giggle when I get compliments

[missmisnomer]

The age old question:

Does my stomach hurt because I'm hungry?

Or because the soup I ate three hours ago did not agree with my tum tum?

[missmisnomer]

Update: Heated up another bowl for dinner.

It was the soup 🙃
