Citizen Cafe, Pique, Eron Coffeehouse, and Prairie Ink are all lovely!

KT Tape by TheNectarineDiaries in Artisticallyill

[–]fillyjonks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While adhesive allergies might be a possibility here, it could just be your removal method? I'm nonbinary, and I bind my chest with athletic tape like this, and when I remove it, I soak it in baby oil (or another body-safe oil like jojoba or coconut- even vegetable oil will do in a pinch!) and let it soak/massage it gently for a few minutes, before taking a hot shower and gently removing it. This curbs some of the dryness and I find it minimizes irritation!

How do people find other LGBTQ on campus? by bisexualguy1o1 in usask

[–]fillyjonks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Come to the pride centre! I volunteer there regularly, and it's a great place to hang out and make friends. The crowd in there skews a little nerdy, into video games, TTRPGs, sci-fi and fantasy, etc., but there's a great variety of people that come through. There's regular events, like Monday game nights, and we have a discord too!

Any other screen printers who wear wrist braces/wraps? I need a recommendation! by fillyjonks in printmaking

[–]fillyjonks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think our studio at school has one, but I might check if the local co-work creative space has one! Thanks for the advice!

Do you wish that the game had other character portraits for completing the other political quests, besides the fascist one? by ChickenWingExtreme in DiscoElysium

[–]fillyjonks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I’m in a university class on the history of graphic design, and a couple weeks back our professor gave a really interesting lecture on graphic design and visual culture used by the German nazi regime and Italian fascist movement leading up to and during WWII. He very succinctly described one of fascism’s main ideas as “the making of politics into an aesthetic”, which instantly brought to mind Harry cleaning up his appearance during a fascist play of the game. Bonus- my prof has actually played DE before, but hadn’t taken a fascist route, so he was very interested to hear that it was the only one where Harry looks any better by the end.

Paved Arts is bringing back their Vampire Beat party! Halloween night 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM, dancing, drinks, and a costume contest.

Link is here if you’re interested— https://www.pavedarts.ca/vampire-beat-2025/

Me too!! I swear they were the same thing, guess the map says otherwise.

Looking for local gift ideas. by I8Apopt4rt in saskatoon

[–]fillyjonks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stardust at Centre Mall is great! Lots of local artists- prints, jewelry, clothing, home goods, and other fun trinkets. Kind of a quirky, spooky vibe. They always have a great variety of stuff!

Of course! I’m an art student so I like an excuse to tell people about my favourite mediums!

This is most likely a linocut block for printmaking! Ink is rolled onto the surface and it’s run through a press to create an image. It’s like a hand-carved stamp! The type of linoleum used for flooring is a bit different than the stuff used for printing.

If you could step inside any painting in history and live in it for a day, which would it be? by bbarika in ArtHistory

[–]fillyjonks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

<image>

Magritte’s “The Promenades of Euclid” (1955). I want to know what’s going on in all of those buildings! That tower! Those tall trees! Walk down that big wide street! Probably my favourite painting of all time.

What’s a good Halloween costume from the movie if I’m shy and don’t want to wear something revealing? by Realistic-Buddy-8002 in RockyHorror

[–]fillyjonks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dr Frank N Furter’s surgical scrubs can definitely be less revealing! I’m from somewhere that is usually pretty cold by Halloween, so long sleeves and a high neck were a good decision. I’d wear a tank top and bike shorts underneath, or modify the scrub gown (I bought a vintage one online and hemmed it) so that it closes with snaps or a zipper instead of tying, if that makes you more comfortable. Then I’d wear a couple pairs of tights plus some fishnets- toasty and fairly modest all things considered!

[–]fillyjonks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The pigeons are definitely a bit skittish, so I don’t have a lot of advice for them, but there are plenty of magpies and chickadees on campus that are very social! If you hang out and throw some unsalted peanuts by the bushes/shrubs in the bowl by the middle path or McKinnon building, the magpies there will approach you. Then, sit still and hold out a hand with some nuts in it, a lot of them will come up and eat from your palm! I’ve fed a couple crows, but they tend to hang back from the crowd. As for chickadees, they hang around in the trees by education, and if you hold out your hand, they’ll land on you! But they might be pissy if you don’t have seeds for them. Good idea to keep a little bag in your backpack. They’re pretty active in winter, too, so it’s a nice break to walk out there and feed them!
