Skunked Out Zone

Rayne the skunk, I do art, and several other things if the time is right. A little itty bit of animation. A itty bit of 3d modeling. I made my own live 2d model. Went to school for game design and can do a little code. I'm not the best at any of those things but I know I can do them. I'm just a skunky thing that does a little fugging around.

Anime watchers skipping openings to avoid spoilers, is like if JRPG fans avoided looking at the box art to not know who's in the party.

Supposedly Twitter is gonna get private likes as a feature. Call me cynical, but if that's true I'm waiting to see how fast people start going "DON'T FOLLOW ME IF YOUR LIKES ARE PRIVATE"

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

– https://searchmysite.net/ Search engine for the indie web, personal websites, digital gardens. You can also find them in websites like Neocities, Indieweb, Blogarama, and write.as. There is also a big list of personal websites.

– https://search.marginalia.nu/ Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.

– https://www.worldcat.org/ Search engine for items in libraries (books, but also maps, articles, sound recordings, theses, etc.)

– https://scholar.google.com/ Search engine for scientific papers, reviews, etc. It’s still google, but a lot better than the normal search engine counterpart.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines A list of search engines sorted by subject, area, and more. If you’re searching on a specific area, it might be worth checking if there is one focused on that area.

– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_databases_and_search_engines A list of academic databases and search engines.

– https://tineye.com/ Reverse image search alternative to Google’s. Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)

That Google and Meta can get away with this during an era of intense misinformation and disinformation signals that we cannot rely on large tech companies to provide reliable access to information and news:

Google set to remove news links in Canada, Meta ends contract for journalism fellowship as Bill C-18 fallout continues

Google said Thursday it will remove Canadian news from its platforms and end existing deals with local publishers because of the Liberal gov

I squeaked this one into the TFH summer artpack right before the deadline. I drew it right after Nidra was anounced. (I was honestly surprised everyone was okay with me putting her in a bikini)

"[Company] didn't advertise X enough" is always very funny coming from people that I know use adblock for everything. ...I also use adblock for everything.

So I was talking about this in a mlp fanfic discord. At least on Fimfiction you can tell the most incredibly blatant trans story ever and no one will actually get mad until you say the word trans.

So in this context they've written 100k words of like a gender tf story or something. And not a single person got mad until they actuallt used the word trans. And that is simultaniously the funniest shit ever, and also very sad. I do wonder though how much this applies to transphobes in general. How many blatantly trans stories can you tell that they'd love as long as you frame it as genderswap and never use any of the "wrong" words.

this one is the second picture I did for the TFH Summer artpack. I honestly didn't have a perfect idea of what I wanted to do for this one and might lighting skills arn't quite what I want them to be, but I think it came out cool
