Thinking about submitting your portfolio for a role? Here are some thoughts from an artist turned AD 🧵:

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

🎉🎉🎉 It's my birthday!!!🎉🎉🎉

If anyone feels like getting me a repost as a present I'll send you a lil smooch😘

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

saying "I think it's done" out loud to trick my brain into spotting more errors

Watching Mythic Quest while working in game dev is like watching Call The Midwife while pregnant. I will not explain further.

Going on random wikipedia deep dives and I've never been so gently offended.

Sewing pattern for part of a shirt. It is clearly made from a dark brown manuscript page with small lettering written in two columns.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.

An original female design of Cullen from Dragon Age Inquisition. She stands on a hilltop with a mountain behind her. She is lit from behind and the mountain is lit as well. Sparse snow is on the mountain. Her hand is outstretched.

The dawn will come.

It's almost time to return to Thedas.

Helpful tips for trans folks living in the US:

1) Ask your healthcare provider if you can discreetly have your diagnosis/justification for gender dysphoria changed to 'hormonal disorder not otherwise specified', since odds are good the FDA is going to ban gender-affirming care even for adults
