Currently experiencing FFXIV insanity, I'm sorry and/or you're welcome. Once a pagan blog, now just a tumblr blog but also very much a pagan blog. More or less. Lokean, Norse polytheist, animist, environmentalist, more or less. Faerie queen, magician. More or less. She/her/they/them 40-something. Also at fjothr.wordpress.com. Authoritarians/bigots (Nazis, terfs, etc.) fuck all the way off. In brilliance arise and in vastness ignite

Luo Li Rong’s Bold, Graceful Figurative Sculptures

Luo Li Rong’s figurative sculptures evoke movement and intrigue, whether it’s the artist’s feminine, graceful figures or her otherworldly creatures. The China-born, Belgium-based artist has received several high honors, including commissions for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. A statement talks about the varied influences of the sculptor.

“In Belgium she remains true to her principles,” Art Center HOres says. “She continues with her work and concentrates on the techniques of the sculptors of Europe from the Renaissance, Baroque and other periods. Her sculptures dazzle the viewer with their beauty, craftsmanship and above all femininity.”

The artist is a graduate of the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 5 days 3 hours

[odyver]

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 5 days 3 hours

[odyver]

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 5 days 3 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── This was a special request from a special person (deity) in my life and I was jazzed to make it when I found these lovely fox eyes I knew would be just perfect. I was going to do little "eyelids" over both eyes but I finished one and took one look at that face and knew it had to stay. Loki reminds me of feeling all cozy in the autumn time with a cup of cinnamon tea, which is what made me choose the accent color (his feet). I was still/ am still learning color changes and making them look smooth, so I am pretty sure his bellypatch was a freehand back and forth and then sewn on (rather than working with both colors at the same time, as the pattern has you do). The long scarf was requested by him when I was all done and its in reference to a 14 foot scarf (a scarf for people) that I dedicated to him back in college. He told me not to weave the ends in and I respected that.

everyone likes to make jokes about how huge and unusable the FFXIV settings are but the unfortunate truth is that that's kind of just what you need to have a large number of actually useful settings. like they could definitely do better at labeling (and it desperately needs, though I"m unsure the backend could accommodate, some kind of search), but it's also straight up the most powerful set of settings and tools a game has ever offered me i think

like this tiny slice of the sound panel alone is better than 99.99% of computer games. absolute gamechanger that nothing else even comes close to matching.

You should take some time to read @3liza's post documenting the Phantom Report Bug (which she deserves praise for doing, thank you eliza) and see how fucking broken Tumblr's report tool is. I also want to reiterate something she is once again correct about: no one files bug reports. I have first hand experience working at Tumblr and I remember having to tell web devs on Staff "i saw a post about someone talking about a bug" and they were unaware because no one followed through to file a bug. I have fixed bugs that I saw people posting about that were in my domain (I'm a mobile dev) but were not in the system. No this is not an endorsement of "complain about it enough and eventually someone will see it", this is an endorsement of "file a bug report directly to computer companies and people will most likely read it and probably fix it". I mean it this is not a Tumblr-only thing. I've seen this at every company I've worked for. Just fucking file a bug report please I beg you, software gets complicated and the devs are just unaware that there's a bug until you bring it to your attention. And they want to fix the bug! I promise!

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”
