28, she/her/hers. Ao3 handle - Iridion I don’t do anything original here. This is basically a repository for anything vaguely interesting or relevant that crawls across my dash. Anyways, hi! Enjoy your stay.

thank you for teaching me important tech vocabulary @kirbymybeloved

i know things are hella grim in the nsfw/kink art circles especially in the last year --

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.

there are friends and allies out there helping to build a working parallel infrastructure. keep being vocal, keep supporting these initiatives when it's possible, and keep supporting your nsfw/kink artists. ♥

health isn't a virtue.

[bebsi-cola]

people still go around acting like they've done something good in order to be able bodied and healthy. that they worked for it, that it's due to their moral fibre or good upbringing or self control. they genuinely, on some level, believe that they are a good person solely based on the strength of their physical abilities. they will resist the fact that it is largely down to chance that they were able to maintain such health. whatever they think they've built from scratch, the building blocks were already handed to them. not because they're more worthy of it, just by luck. and they really think they're worth more based on that sheer luck. i've met disabled people worth a hundred of the healthiest ableds alive.

my cursed sword doesn't even tell me to kill people anymore it keeps begging me to put on a skirt and tights

so this knight came to my wizard's tower one day and asked me to cast a spell that would allow him to take his beloved princess' hand in marriage. pretty typical this kind of wish, and i had just the spell. a combo of "turn person into a royal" and "transform appearance to match romantic ideal", easy. he paid handsomely for it too, so how can i says no?

turns out his princess is a lesbian and nobody knew, so when i cast the spell it made him into a beautiful princess. she asked for a refund right away and begged me (cryin', held me at swordpoint) to turn her back, but i says to her, i says, "The die has already been cast, and your fate is now sealed!" which is my way of sayin' "no refunds".

turns out, bein' a princess weren't so bad for her and she was able to take her sweet and beloved princess' hand in marriage. seems like everything worked out.

but then, surprise of my life, they both show up to my tower and my spell was undone. some dark sorcerer shithead (some kinda sketchy royal adviser who wanted to usurp the throne, a million like 'im) had removed my enchantments and turned our princess back into a knight. but she didn't want to be a man no more and asked me to redo the spell. gladly i changed her back in exchange for fuckin' up this sorcerer shmuck, (could be a threat to my business, you see) gave 'er an enchanted sword an everything. to my shock, the other princess takes the sword and vows to get this guy for me.

now i got all this guy's magic shit and good graces for life with the queens of the land, plus the best advertisement money can't buy. "yes, i am in fact That wizard from the story of the princess knight!" classic.

anyway, all that to say, no i ain't changin' yous back. you'll be mommy's pretty little maid and you'll like it.

i want a mysterious source of income

[monidoll]

aliens observing the solar system: [untranscribable telescope name]-59172 has 2 planets. It's a pair of relatively small, cold gas planets, called [untranscribable telescope name]-59172b and c. [untranscribable telescope name]-59172c was discovered only a few years ago. Systems with multiple cold gas planets are rather uncommon, so this is pretty exciting

[monidoll]

theyre probably not gonna know earth is third for some time, since mercury is a very small planet at a fairly medium distance. The moon, too, obviously.

Long before that happens though, these aliens discover [UTN]-59172d and [UTN]-59172e and determine d is uninhabitable and e is *probably* uninhabitable (because their idea of the habitable zone is slightly different and earth, already at the inner edge in our conception, happens to fall just slightly on the wrong side of the line they've drawn)

[lavitts]

I wonder what they'd think of Uranus and Neptune if they spotted them. The REALLY cold and small gas bodies.

[monidoll]

our models at least predict neptune-like planets, that is, ice giants, are probably more common than saturn-like small gas giants, although they're much harder to detect

[monidoll]

when planets cross a certain mass threshold while gas is still plentiful, they tend to grow very rapidly, and form large gas giants, usually larger than jupiter. if they only reach that mass after the gas has mostly dissipated, they may become ice giants or smaller gas-rich icy superearths. but producing a light gas giant like saturn requires the planet to reach the mass threshold at a very specific time

[shroudofnerscylla]

This is really interesting to me, where could I read more about our models for what typical planetary systems look like?

[monidoll]

this is a paper simulating the evolution of planetary systems around sunlike stars. the 50 and 100 embryo simulations likely reflect reality

RIP to the legend

[silvermoon424]

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.

Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.

Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.

When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.

Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.

Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.

As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.

His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."

Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.

Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

a compositional thing i use a lot, and is by no means a rule of thumb and very much a preference, is trying to make the corners of my canvas as much of a non-entity as possible. almost treating the boundary of the canvas like drawn lines, and any intersections with them as tangents. it's a habit i picked up comic thumbnailing, but i like how it looks in paintings too
