Everyone reblog this. Mandatory.
important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are
reblog if you're also lame and weird.
I don't always have a plan.

š About the making of Clara š
There are some imperfections & design oversights- but ultimately Iām very happy with how she turned out.
Learnings...
With the model- I wish I had extended the neck a bit deeper into the head so that she could looks further up/down without gapping showing. And I accidentally totally hollowed out the limbs instead of creating a spherical cavity- so that made stringing this together a nightmare.
I learned that inserted pieces (the tusks) should not be an EXACT fit. There's probably some micro warping in the physical print, and resin is rigid/inflexible. So the insert pieces didn't fit! Luckily that was easy to fix- I just filed the holes to be a little bigger.
The next biggest issue was cracking in the clear coat. I had to redo all of the limbs because of this. We found that simply doing several very light layers (over the course of 48 hours) prevented cracking.
Iām also having paint chipping at the joints. This is the only doll where Iāve had this issue. The only different factors in this project were the type of spray paint, & that I didnāt do much hand painting. Parts getting a bit beat up at joints is common in BJDs so it is what it is IMO.
The last challenge of note was designing the clothing. I originally wanted a very ruffled dress. But at this scale, and with the fabric I was using, it created so much bulk that looked odd. So I settled for a simple dress with a few darts to add some movement. To add some more interest back into the outfit, I ended up creating her that apple bag and sketchbook!
i wish everyone following me made enough money to not feel like they were being boiled alive and had the time and energy to clean their room at their own leisure
this heatwave fucking sucks how am I going to serve my liege like this
im never leaving this hellsite
i swear if this is the second stupid sword picture post i make that gets to 10k i'll just go kill someone
FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
today someone asked me what my favorite even-toed ungulate isā¦ god, who could decide?
this was ignorant of me to post. of course its the muskox
and here comes my favorite boyā¦
okay. some of you must surely be getting tired of seeing me say this but i literally cannot help myself- THAT IS AN ICE AGE GOAT. THAT CAN GET TO BE 800lbs BIG.
we called them musk-ox because we thought they must be some kind of cow thing, but they are actually a goat thing; this is to a normal wild goat what a woolly mammoth is to a normal elephant, only these things survived.
and i absolutely cannot help myself because of the tizzy my brain goes into over the twin facts of
1: ice-age megafauna that is still alive! and
2: EIGHT HUNDRED POUND GOAT
you can see the goatishness a little more in their babies
i just, i am crazy over the fact that these guys are still alive on our planet

"But AI can't do your job. It canĀ helpĀ you do your job, but that doesn't mean it's going to save anyone money. Take radiology: there's some evidence that AIs can sometimes identify solid-mass tumors that some radiologists miss, and look, I've got cancer. Thankfully, it's very treatable, but I've got an interest in radiology being as reliable and accurate as possible. If my Kaiser hospital bought some AI radiology tools and told its radiologists: "Hey folks, here's the deal. Today, you're processing about 100 x-rays per day. From now on, we're going to get an instantaneous second opinion from the AI, and if the AI thinks you've missed a tumor, we want you to go back and have another look, even if that means you're only processing 98 x-rays per day. That's fine, we just care about finding all those tumors." If that's what they said, I'd be delighted. But no one is investing hundreds of billions in AI companies because they think AI will make radiology more expensive, not even if that also makes radiology more accurate. The market's bet on AI is that an AI salesman will visit the CEO of Kaiser and make this pitch: "Look, you fire 9/10s of your radiologists, saving $20m/year, you give us $10m/year, and you net $10m/year, and the remaining radiologists' job will be to oversee the diagnoses the AI makes at superhuman speed, and somehow remain vigilant as they do so, despite the fact that the AI is usually right, except when it's catastrophically wrong. "And if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the humanĀ radiologist'sĀ fault, because they are the 'human in the loop.' It's their signature on the diagnosis." This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calls an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes. This is another key to understanding ā and thus deflating ā the AI bubble. The AI can't do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI thatĀ can'tĀ do your job. This is key because it helps us build the kinds of coalitions that will be successful in the fight against the AI bubble." - Cory Doctorow, The Reverse Centaurās Guide to Criticizing AI
The Winter Maw, 2026
a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for the annual "Winter Exquisite" gallery show (this year's chosen medium was puppetry) at the Forbes Library in Northampton, MA - if you're local, you can visit anytime between the 7th & the end of the month!
for the winter theme, i designed a monster that blends my appreciation of this season's beauty with a more sinister, predatory element representing struggles against seasonal depression. bringing her to life was a huge learning experience & i got to try out a lot of new materials/techniques - i'd never made a marionette before! she took me all January but i'm very pleased with the result.
