I'm not even going to pretend no one thought of this first (I'm sure they have), and it's not even the first Florence design on my list, but it was the quickest to do, so here you go. disasterapparel.teemill.com/product/flor...

Like, she almost always came out looking like a renaissance painting...

Cassandra as a kitten sat up on a red cushion with a background of blankets and cushions. The light is hitting her from the left as she looks off camera. The whole thing could be a Rembrandt.

Cassandra, who was taken far too soon, doing her impression of Truth Coming Out Of Her Well To Scourge Humanity.

Another adorable kitten, this one white with corpsepaint markings, pops out from behind the sofa, with bookshelves in the background, to stare intently at you.

I'm wondering what effect employment discrimination law has had on visibility of disabled people and their ability to buy funky clothes, hair dye and cool mobility aids? (Crafting and customising too - the materials to do these things are hella expensive these days - ask me how I know...)

Also may be worth looking into a laser cutter, that's what I use for my stencils. Slightly more safety concerns with them tho, and they do take up a bit of room.

I remember* when people would dunk on me for continuing to shit on Microsoft cos "they've changed". Microsoft have done absolutely nothing to disavow the reasons for my cynicism, ever, bar the most obvious fig leaves, and this is not the greatest foul, but fucking HELL, this is just embarrassing...

View of about 17 emails in gmail's socials tab. All are from LinkedIn, three are related to connections who are hiring (two of which actually name the same person twice, cos, why the fuck not, hey?), every other one is about some fucking game/puzzle, like Facebook tried and flopped at fucking years ago.

It's just fucking pathetic.

Which is just as well really. I'd hate to have become a hypocrite.

Lahndan Tahn , geezah! Per The Clash, am I pleased to be able to say "I LIVE BY THE RIVERRRRR!" Which is probably more info than required, and the photo narrows it down somewhat, but I post pics in the area enough that it's too late to worry about.

Me looking at GenAI orgs and slopagandists: (Pluribus S01E07)

Screen shot from the episode. Manousos is about to cross the Darien. The collective try to dissuade him.
The image is of the collective members standing in front of his route.
He says (translated subtitles) "You cannot give me anything because all that you have is stolen."

He then sets fire to his beloved car to prove his determination.

Just finished the excellent The Forest Brotherhood by @dankaszeta.bsky.social Dan manages a dispassionate review of many years of traumatic history through archival research, rife with tragedy but also hope. It will sit proudly next to Dan's book Toxic - also highly recommended.

Cover of the hardback edition. Of The Forest Brotherhood by Dan Kaszeta, featuring a B&W photograph of group of partisans, unsurprisingly in a forest.

Greenwich does have that rolling lake thing tho - connects to the sea, I believe. I'm quite fond of it.

FAOD this is not a view from Greenwich, it's a shot of The Shard, Tower Bridge, St Paul's, the monument and the walkie talkie, from Bermondsey Wall East, viewed across the Thames

Anyway, I'm over here just torching my career through my resistance. It's not a great feeling, unfortunately. Hope I can hold out long enough for there to be some kind of renaissance, or I find somewhere that appreciates my position.
