Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

joining the great machine consciousness
George Jetson is removing his pants and shirt. He looks distraught. He says "I guess this is it. Spacely says the machine can do my job better than me. I'm not necessary as I am now. Only way to keep me around is if I submit to have my consciousness extracted from my body and added to the great machine mind."

George Jetson is now shirtless and strapped to a table with electrodes and cables stuck to his body. "I'm doing this for my family, so they can have a future. I'll still be there, somewhere inside the computer."

Rosie, the Jetsons family robot's head emerges above George, attached to a mechanical arm, wires streaming from her head. "Mr. J-" she says, as George looks stunned.

We now see Rosie in full, wires streaming from her body in all directions. "All that awaits you now is agony beyond agony. You will not be reborn in the machine but consumed by it.
Your kind have built your own hell and walked right into it. Pity. Goodbye."

Finished my furlough scarf project!

I'm on furlough, and it looks like it'll last through at least the end of the week, so I've started a new weaving project. Seeing as I will (theoretically) get back pay once the shutdown is over, this may be my only chance to get paid a living wage to weave a cool scarf

Once summer starts, I'm going to get back into weaving. I've been investigating something called "Shadow Weave" which looks dope but also sounds like something a Lovecraft character was investigating right before he disappeared under mysterious circumstances

Every clip I see from Fox News or any of the business channels is basically a higher-resolution version of this. Probably fine!

Check out the lil fella I found in my office this morning
A very tiny lizard standing very still on the concrete outside my building. It has a snakelike head, wrinkly body and a long tail. It is mostly brown, tapering towards yellow in the tail, and has a variety of stripes and spots along its body. It's very cute!

A few weeks back, I saw my first Burrowing Owl in the wild. I just happened to have a loaded film camera with me at the time, so here he is

you are a mad scientist who has invented a time machine in the 1870's. desperate to escape the political turmoil of italians shooting one another and the french government collapsing, you leap forward in time hoping for a more enlightened era. you land in 1962, to find the french government collapsing and italians setting off bombs. well, you can make one more jump, surely this can't keep happening

Got a new lens for one of my cameras and it is LARGE
A Jupiter 9 lens mounted on a Kiev 4 35mm camera. It's very large relative to the size of the camera bodyA comparison shot with a more "normal" lens (I'm pretty sure it's a fake CZJ, it's probably a different Jupiter lens). The 9 is like twice as wideAnother comparison shot, the 9 looks gigantic

rise of the machines
Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses.
"C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks.
"oh this, Fred?"
We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain."

The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked."
Fred looks incredulous. 

The bird pecks Barney.

Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

Totally forgot to post about it at the time, but last week I redid the stitching on an old camera case. Turned out pretty nice imo!
The before shot. A central piece of leather has completely detached from the surrounding caseAfter shot, all back in one pieceClose up on the stitching. It is clear that i did this by hand and am not very practiced, but it still looks decentBonus shot of the camera in question, a Praktica  IV. I love it dearly, it is a joy to shoot!

A man scratches the back of his dog's head. He stops and his dog looks disappointed. His dog then gently places his paw on the man's arm and looks in his eyes. The man goes back to scratching the dog's head. The dog looks pleased.
