People get demoralized when transitioning when they discover that beyond the initial identification of "the problem," transitioning itself will not make you happy. What it provides is the POSSIBILITY for happiness by allowing you to more easily participate in romance, community and self-improvement

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

I didn't finish the full follow up comic, but at least have the page that shows what the girls surprised Olly with! HBD Olly!! #wha #witchhatatelier
Qifrey, Coco, Richeh, Tetia, and Agott all hold various dishes in the kitchen, presenting them to a shocked looking Olly. Among them is Agott holding the turnipup cups Olly made for her before and Qifrey holding a cheesecake.

Happy Birthday Olly! 4/8 pages #witchhatatelier #Δ帽子 #wha #orufrey
A black and white comic. The first panels shows a pair of hands holding an unidentifiable wooden animal or sorts. The second panel depicts a child Olruggio staring down at it curiously.
It pans to a child Qifrey, fully red and steaming as Olly asks “Um, it’s cool just, what is it…?”
Qifrey grabs at it, but Olruggio grabs him by the collar to hold him back, holding the figurine up where he can’t reach. “Woah, woah!! you can’t just take it back!!”
Olly holds it defensively after letting Qifrey go, looking flustered as he says “You gave me this ‘cuz it’s my birthday, right?? It’s rude to take back a gift!! I just wanna know what it is!” 
Qifrey shoves his face.
“I thought the seal would have made it obvious,” Qifrey grumbles, looking off to the side. Olruggio is quickly holding the figurine up to inspect further, then noticing a tiny seal etched on the belly. “Oh! A rainflinger spell..? OH!” He is suddenly sparkling with excitement. “A contraption! Is this your first one??”
A blushing Qifrey groans and turns his head away, looking overwhelmed.
“Sorry if it’s not something you like. Everyone had such weird advice on gift giving.” Qifrey looks frustrated as he looks down at the floor. ‘Just show them you’re thinking of them. Something you make is best. Relate it to their interests. But those are all just feelingss…and the rainflinger spell is the only one I’m good at right now, so-“
Qifrey glances to Olruggio, then balks as he sees him squinting with what looks like disappointment on his face at the figurine. “WHY ARE YOU STARING AT IT LIKE THAT. It’s so clear you don’t like it!!”

On today’s episode of giving my daily humiliations to Olruggio: #Wha #witchhatatelier #Δ帽子
A monochrome sketch comic of modern Olruggio. He is undressing in the first panel as he says ‘I need a break for my eyes. My brain hurts too. All this portfolio work is killin’ me. Maybe a shower will set me straight’.
He steps into the shower, hissing at the heat of the water before relaxing, closing his eyes in the steamy spray. 
Something suddenly jolts him to attention and he tips his head down with a shocked expression just for the last panel to reveal him still wearing, now soaked, socks.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Purchase the EP that I made with my band @antispectacular.bsky.social. Each song is radically different. The first is hardcore Punk, the second, a Funk song, the third, a Bluegrass song and the fourth is Apocalyptic Grunge. anti-spectacular.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-t...

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
