I have a not insignificant amount of RAM. I built this PC 6 years ago specifically so that Photoshop could have all the RAM it needs. Why does this poor baby cough and splutter every time I try to edit a JPG. Why does the text tool wail and stall when I add one (1) new layer.
Screenshot of Photoshop's Memory usage tab. 36gb of ram is dedicated to running Photoshop, out of an available 52 gb.

LMAO I discuss gender identity and sexuality and disabled people and people of colour and equality in the past inside Carved in Stone and all of that is hosted through Google Docs so I can collaborate with other scholars. Backing up now, probably moving services post-project.

On a train to Edinburgh passing through Newcastle, passed a tower of flats with these bright blue slanted roofs and striking red balconies, sorta like this. It also had a little tall stuck on bit with a tiny roof on the north face, it was very whimsical amongst square tower blocks.
Sketchy doodle of the tower block described in the post.

Viking house (reconstruction) in the Western Isles (specifically Lewis). It's maybe 8th or 9th century I think?
An iron age or early medieval building, with stone walls covered in grass and a thatched roof kept in place with ropes, netting and stones.
