Very happy to see PhotoGimp, which turns Gimp into Photoshop-like, still works fine with Gimp 3.0-RC1. I use it to edit my watercolor paintings (mostly contrast and colors, since my scanner is not accurate). You'd be surprised how much digital editors are used by traditional painters these days. Especially for commissions and book illustrations where clients want changes all the time.

Recent projects I finished or working on. These are my go to projects I can work on in my free time without much attention needed. #knitting
Second headband is finished! #fallfinishalong #knitting
Started getting into #felting and made these cute ornaments using wool and cookie cutters!
5 days of work, over halfway done! I think if I really focus I can finish it by next week before my flight back to #seattle.

It took TWO WEEKS to go from my last photo to this one. I finally finished the pattern for this #knitting project which uses yarn smaller than I'm used to. hoping to finish the rest this weekend! #fallfinishalong

I shitcanned my Twitter 2 weeks ago.

Left behind 30,000 followers.

Only have 1000 here.

But I still get more traffic to my writing...

Which should tell you something about Birdchan.

Anyway, repost to support an indie transgender tech writer and journalist! ✍️🍕🏳️‍⚧️

I started work on my next #knitting project. This one will be a Norwegian design ear warmer for my roommate from Norway!

I'm not used to working with thinner yarn so it's taking longer to make progress
#fallfinishalong hopefully?
