Rushed birthday art for @arachnidsgrip.bsky.social Also technically the first time I'm doing a chibi-adjacent style so there's also that I guess Happy birthday, Psi!

A banner reading "hap borth" hangs above two characters - on the left, my character Yalsie Castor with a happy and mischievous look on her face, and on the right is Psi's character, who looks mildly irritated. They're standing on either side of a table with a birthday cake on it, the candles reading "old". Psi is asking Yalsie "don't you think that's a little insensitive?" and Yalsie's response is "Not in the slightest."

-actually made a lot dumber by it. Overall though those are just my own opinions and trains of thought. I could be wrong. I probably am about at least a few things. But the throughline of logic is there for everyone to see, at least I think it is.

-far as to say that standardization, the concept of IQ, and the normalization of conformity is outright ableist. Although I'm fairly certain it's been said already, though by whom I have no idea. Also, remember me mentioning false positives before? The entirety of r/iamverysmart could be used as an-

-materials you end up using are so poor-quality they're barely distinguishable from actual garbage. To tie back into the original topic of this thread, IQ is, from where I stand, nothing more than just another symptom of the disease that is standardization and mass-produced learning. I could go as-

Part of what makes IQ meaningless is standardization. I'm surprised how few people know this, but standardization is directly harmful to the overall human learning experience. It inhibits autistic kids' ability to learn and skews their results negatively, while it favors conformity and for lack-

So I was reading the Wikipedia page for IQ (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelli...) and I realized something. IQ is completely meaningless. Intelligence is subjective. I could take an IQ test at my prime and score a 160 but another day when I'm at my worst I could score a 30. Or maybe 40.

My alter has a trollsona now. Her name (the sona, not the alter) is Aloisa Astril. Woe upon the world, now that the gremlin has a physical form. #homestuck #fantroll #spriteandart #thecavalierdraws

It sucks that Machinima the company isn't around anymore and machinima the genre doesn't get as much attention anymore. I didn't get to experience the golden age due to a weird family life, but it seems like it was pretty awesome to experience.

Action scene + stargazing. My posing is... marginally better than when I started, but I still have a long way to go.

Corbyn Castor, my trollsona, swinging his twinblade to the right with a background that suggests the scene takes place in a green fog.

The dissonance between shit like Create, Tinkers Construct and others versus Dweller Slop Number 5678 is genuinely confusing. I get some of them are Little Timmy's First Mod, but if you're a competent coder you should be able to put together a good mod easily. Do it for the love of the game, y'know?

Normal Minecraft mods are genuinely enjoyable experiences, and it's too bad those that don't have a PC don't get to experience any of it. Meanwhile the average Minecraft horror mod these days is just: *Kills you instantly* *Kills you instantly* *Wrecks your shit and then kills you instantly*

There has been a question on my mind for a while now. A question so important, so significant, so indisputably and frustratingly unanswerable that I simply must share it with you all. Are the moons of Alternia made of cheese? #Homestuck #Homosuck #Shitpost
