But...I prefer Pixelmator for image editing, Affinity as good as it is for vector and type, just doesn't cut it there...partly familiarity and partly the weirdness of Affinity's vector meets image model. Like masks are just...strange. Give me basic pixel masks please, not vectors I can't draw over?

I wish Pixelmator Pro or even Photocraft had the same text editing chops as Affinity. It seems very few image editors allow the most basic of typography like having a colour background for text. Not a paragraph box, actual type background. Bloated as it is, even Photoshop still doesn't do […]

[Mild nudity (bottoms, nothing frontal)] I did a video for my Still Ending mashup - Still Life has some (appropriate) visuals from the Dog Man Star tour. Mild nudity (bottoms! Edited so it's hopefully within TOS with nothing frontal, the uncensored original is on YouTube on Suede's channel) […]

So the BBC wants to charge people to watch my content, but the BBC doesn't want to pay me for it? Or share any of that revenue? There's a word for that. It's called theft. (and yes most of my audience is in the UK, I am a UK creator, so not blowing wind out of my arse) […]

Me? Making mashups? With MY reputation? I mostly make originals but a Britpop challenge got me out of retirement. Pulp meets The Cure and reveals their goth side, Suede's overblown ballad gets toned down and meets Mika where there are no happy endings […]

So TLDR, I think yeah of course the right-wing are running with this, but it's not a psyop. The reaction is a lot of folks who are TIRED of their communities being captured by a small loud minority. And not saying anything cos of course you get belittled, mocked, told you're a bigot etc. (And […]

I think the reason why this story has popped off inside progressive circles (of course the right wing media would have a field day!) and continues to have legs is we have all met people like those attacking this bar - entitled people who think their particular bugbear trumps (LOL) all others […]

Agreed - why do we have issue when QAnon gets pushed to the top by shitty algorithms, grifting and shouting loudest to destroy things but then if it's part of a minority group left 'progressive' space, we then go quiet? Even when they are equally insane? I love how Ashley's crowd went REAL […]

[Sort of politics but more about apathy] As an aside - reminded by two things I've watched recently, Cory Doctorow on the Tea saying that yes, we win by getting involved in meetings and local politics, cos it's about the links we make with people though yes, the meetings SUCK. And Struthless […]

2/2 So it's a really hot topic in trans spaces in particular. But then the folks who need masks don't come out and support the venues - they often can't afford to - so everyone is masked for the people who aren't there? I was eye-rolling when they called out having no alt tags. Really? Abled […]
