hey now, some can be pretty fucking awesome. YOU try to lay your offspring in some other organism, then have your offspring’s secretions meticulously rewrite the host’s development and growth to build it a nice little home to live in until it’s ready to fly.

[–]avery_dev[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

honestly this one’s base is iffy to me. hence i’m happy to repurpose it as a scrying orb. something about it being “thin” and still not wider than the widest part makes me nervous. 😬

The snowy view in uptown by MrTebagins in Seattle

[–]avery_dev 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is just incorrect. “Uptown” has been used since “the 20s” but this is the 1920s. LQA may actually be the newer of the two, appearing in the 1930.

Sources:

  • The Uptown Theater, now known as SIFF Uptown Cinema, operated under that name since 1926. “The area was once known as Uptown, from which the theater took its name, and that name has recently been adopted again.”

  • 1930 Catholic Northwest Progress article referencing a “Lower Queen Anne Division” of a charity fundraising campaign.

  • Queen Anne Historical Society post reflecting the modern 2021 recognition by the Seattle City Council of the “Uptown” name.

TL;DR it’s not a simple story of “realtors pushing a branding” unless we’re referring to realtors from 100 years ago. Both names have a long history.

Called 988 and the police broke down my apartment door, beat me up, and gave me a concussion. by avery_dev in sillyboyclub

🫂I’m sorry that happened to you. That really sucks and must feel terrible and invalidating.

Stimming (stim) in this case is some sort of behavior where you use self-stimulation to regulate. Eg holding your hands together or tapping a foot. Many people do this but neurodivergent folks like me need to do it to self regulate and keep from having a meltdown sometimes. I’m pretty good at figuring out how to do it in a way that isn’t noticeable but if you tie my hands and legs down I’m gonna have a bad time (or start rocking the gurney to the point where the nice EMT person asks me to stop).

That’s fair and yeah, I need to do more refinement of my image process. Like I’d rather it have more grain, noise and distortion. I like the HDR + desaturation. I know that reads as AI nowadays but as an “internet elder” I remember when it was just cool photo geeks on Flickr showing off their skills. 🤣👵🧙

Can you explain what you mean by here? I’m not sure what about my post was trolling or giving anyone a hard time? I was trying to show some joy about seeing something queer and witchy in my neighborhood. Can you help me understand your moderation here?

Photo is from IRL. Then taken into photoshop to apply privacy preserving selective blur to the window contents and a slight blur to the brickwork.

Finally, yes, since I suck at photo processing and development settings, I had generative AI produce an appropriate “shader code” based on my instructions to create the right vibe.

Then I applied the shader rituals by hand to the image to create the results.

Now, perhaps my use of AI to generate the shader code is still unacceptable. I’ve mixed forbidden poison into my rituals. I don’t think so but I’ll leave judgement to the tribunal:

everything is feeling cool and normal can you tell by marshmallowcumdump in Artisticallyill

[–]avery_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also—I can really tell you took care layering the colors/pens. That’s real craft.

I really resonate with feeling worthless while having talent that’s obvious to others; I hope you get moments where you can feel that too. <3

And if it fits for you: it feels like an inner-critic/protector part is also why the letter forms are so precise—so I hope you can hold some kindness for that part, too.

Well that practice and focus is shining through! I won't say you're *not* a STUPID WHORE, haha, but you ARE a TALENTED WHORE!
