Finally finished Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China. Excellent book, truly fascinating recent history. Deng was really living the Victoria 3 player fantasies with his four modernizations.

emulation is preservation 🎮🌱 (1/7) (cw: grappling with trauma, cPTSD, and dysmorphia) #personal #vent #oolongnoonart #emulation #retroconsoles

i've been thinking about old videogames lately

standalone, solid pieces of fun
no day one patch, a completed work

you could come back to them like an old book

there were also games i never got to for whatever reason

ones just out of my reach
or that i've never heard of

i wound up learning about emulators
and got myself a handheld retro console to play roms with

i've been really enjoying this

(sketches of a retroid pocket 5/G2 and an anbernic 406H, third-party handhelds that can run emulators)

Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica. prospect.org/2026/08/11/m...

I retook a picture of one of my old works. Here's a pterosaur, it has some anatomical mistakes, but I still like it #SciArt #paleoart #embroidery #art

A picture of an embroidered pterosaur, it's not of a specific species.
I made this little guy when I was learning more modern dino anatomy, the front legs off (the joints are supposed to be backwards), making the little guy standing more like a dog than a real ptero whoops
