From Bong Joon-ho's masterpiece 'Mother (2009)'. It was the 1st time I saw an Asian mother depicted on screen as a fully realized character. This opening, and music in particular, set the tone right away we were in for something magical.
I'm tired of sitting through #science talks where all plots are properly credited but artist's impressions and photographs aren't.
As a researcher and astrophotographer who works with super talented artists, this attitude really bothers me.
You study galaxies at the dawn of time. You look for biomarkers in the atmospheres of distant planets. You can most definitely find who made that cool image you just pasted in your slides.
To those who do credit #art : you're awesome 🤗
Members of the #sewing hive mind in the general vicinity of Los Angeles, I have a request for assistance. Do you have a sewing machine that you're not currently using? Would you be willing to loan it out for couple of months?
I'm going to be teaching a sewing class at the local trans community center soon, and we need machines for folks to use. I'm looking for about 8 machines. Old is okay.
Boosts appreciated!
Recently took one look at the state of the Meta related sites.
Homophobic, anti-vax, anti-trans memes, etc are not "political" I guess.
But the mere existence of non-straight, non-white, non-males? Bah gawd it's 🔥P🔥O🔥L🔥I🔥T🔥I🔥C🔥S🔥!
Been here just around a week. I will say though, it's been a pleasant surprise not to have "go back to _______" retorts when expressing some thoughts. Already marks this experience as a plus compared to the rotting bird platform.
39 is a great age for possibilities!
Also a fantastic number in itself. It's also a perfect totient number. (The next totient number is 81!)
Also the title to a fantastic South Korean Netflix series.
Also, apologies for derailing your post with these random vomit of words. It's 2am on the west coast and my ADHD tuchus is taking over a late night spree 😪
@andrewstroehlein You got me on 5/6 points.
But just can't hate em sea lions. Too darn cute. Especially the ones opposing war crimes.
Going through the # explore page for the first time and seeing all these faces just writing essays about academic stuff has me feeling a certain way. Is that anxiety kicking in?
Oh, no. Just some residual panic from college. Me noggin's been a teeny bit confused and wondering if there's a term paper due tomorrow.
Genuinely surprised how easy it is to write into a stream of consciousness when nobody's looking. This may be therapeutic?
In any event...
They really made me make my first ever social media platform only to pull back. Spent a week thinking about how to make this space look presentable as well.
What a fucking limptastic way to debut a page lmao.
I'll just sit on this thing and wait til they make up their minds.
