Just realized I've been into Hawkeye since junior high, but I've never really drawn them. Now that I finally got some time, it feels like a dream come true.

I can tell my evil advisor has been feeling down lately so I've been pretending to take big sips from his cursed chalice and then roaming the palace grounds groaning and clutching my abdomen. Lowkey I know it's deceptive but I can tell it's really cheering him up. I heard him evilly cackle for the first time in weeks. WIBTA if I keep doing this

Summer Gardening with Heracross

systlin

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

systlin

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

I feel the need to inform you all that Alex said in the cooldown that all Occtis could think about after watching Hannan die was being a little boy terrified that his angry father was going to kill him next.

I thought Primus was just neglectful but Occtis was regularly made to fear for his life in that house, even if the anger wasn’t directed right at him. I know I shouldn’t really be surprised but like. Holy fuck.

The fandomization of real life issues (especially geo-political conflicts and queer rights) is getting on my nerves.

"Are you pro Jews or pro Palestinians, you can't support both", "Are you pro trans women or pro trans men, you can't support both"-

I am pro PEACE. I am pro DIGNITY. I am pro We Should All Be Able To Live A Peaceful And Happy Life, Together.

I AM PRO PEOPLE.

How is that even a controversial take? It shouldn't be.

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

"You can say that [orangutans] are not dependent on social support and approval, and if you admire this in them, that an orang is irredeemably his own person, 'the most poetic of the apes', researcher Lynn Miles told me once in an unguarded moments. What she had in mind was the difference between orangs and chimps in the way they carry on their discourse with the world.

Chimps are much admired for their tool use and for their problem-solving relationship with things as they find them...the orang is, let us say, not so replete with enterprise. Give an orangutan the hexagonal peg and the several shapes of hole, and then hide behind the two-way mirror and watch how he engages with the problem.

And watch and watch and watch--because he does not engage with the problem. He uses the peg to scratch his back, has a look-see at his right wrist, makes a half-hearted and soon abandoned attempt to use his fur as a macramé project, stares dreamily out the window if there is one and at nothing in particular if not, and the sun begins to set. (The sun will also set if you are observing a chimp, but the chimp is more amusing, so you are less likely to mark the moment in your notes. An orang observer has plenty of time to be a student of the vanities of sunset.)

You watch, and the orang dreams...when casually and as if thinking of something else, the orang slips the hexagonal peg into the hexagonal hole. And continues staring off dreamily."

Vicki Hearne, "The Case of the Disobedient Orangutans"

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

Please stop blaming the fucking software for the abusive actions of capitalist cunts. Please. You need to actually hold the human actors in charge of this shit responsible.

Stop saying "chatGPT" when you mean "Sam Altman and his corporate cronies." Stop saying "AI" when you mean "speculative investor backed environmental destruction".

You CANNOT keep letting these fuckheads scapegoat a computer and absolve themselves of all blame.

The fucking large language models are computer programs. They are not people, and they are certainly not decision makers.

Be angry at the FUCKING COMPANIES WALLING OFF INFORMATION instead of raging about how a specific type of statistical regression is somehow coming into your home and eating your pets.

I have to say, Lord Occtis Tachonis has an incredible aesthetic. This style is so new to me but I had the best time drawing it! (Round of applause for the 1-2-THREE RIBCAGES I HAVE LEARNED TO DRAW, pls 💀).

Part 1/14 of my @critical_role Campaign 4 series! Inspired by the Dragon Age tarot cards. Occtis has been an absolute delight this campaign I totally get why he’s a fan favorite. 🖤💜💚

Now, I’m not following the official tarot decks, but for funsies which Major Arcana do you reckon he’d be?

- Personally, ‘Death’ comes to mind.
