The severity is nowhere near the same, but I find the delusional callousness with which sexual violence is discussed online really shines in all its horror and absurdity when you use the metaphor of robbery.

They are both wearing ice skates and the border pattern is full of planets and stars and other space imagery. The text above the shorter character reads: "I've been feeling this familiar feeling-"

A painterly illustration depicting a woman looking at the viewer with her arm raised. Scratchy depictions of a body with ice skates line the left side of the painting. The text on the woman's body reads: "Nobody, nobody, nobody..."

I don't know who needs to hear this, it is entirely possible to build a whole game without generative AI. All our art, VO, worldbuilding, lore etc. is done by humans because we think our team is awesome and we value their expertise and labor. 🧡

Widow's Bay is a horror masterpiece. Every episode is a love letter to a pillar of the genre. The haunted hotel. The sea monster. The final girl. Its characters are flawed and awkward enough to provide both comic relief and a startling level of awareness and practicality

Y'all my day job is increasingly requiring me to use AI instead of doing things myself, and it's seriously making me question my place there or even in this industry (technical writing). Do you have a job you actually find fulfilling? What do you do?

I've tried a few different strategies to teach myself coding skills and none have had any sticking power besides freeCodeCamp. Taking the JavaScript class now and it's very well-paced. Lessons and labs are interactive enough to really reinforce topics without dragging them out

I found people who genuinely love and respect me. That gave me the strength to leave an abusive relationship and a toxic workplace. My life, absurdly quickly, became ten times better. I have come further in my art, personal, and career growth in the 3 years since than in the rest of my adult life.

A video game screenshot of an old woman in green sitting at a loom, weaving red cloth. Stained glass windows cast colored light across the small room. The text reads: "The hilt of your sword feels electric in your hand. Her eyes are closed. You might be able to strike her down before she can reach her scissors. Or you could keep your distance and announce yourself. You might even have a moment to search the room for something useful."
"WILL: Attack"

Driving along the North Cascades Highway, there's a spot where a fire broke out several years prior. All the trees were charred black, but green grasses and moss covered the ground around rocks that shone white. I loved this contrast and had to paint it. "Fire Swept Memories" #watercolor #gouache

Painting by Katie Croonenberghs of a black dragon with green overtones walks through a burned area of a forest, with moss growing between the white rocks making up the ground. Text reads kamakru.com
