do you ever get those pangs of anxiety where you feel like nobody likes you and nobody will ever like you and you will achieve nothing
I used to. And then I dug in. And here it’s easier, because we find other minds like ours, no matter how eccentric our thought processes and our tastes are. No matter how strange we think our likes in movies and books and studies are, there are people here with the same likes who think there’s no one who shares them until we link, and obser...

there’s literally no point in teaching girls to be body positive if you only use men’s opinions for validation like “boys like girls with curves” nah get that the fuck out of here
Yes this is correct.
I got this all up and down with “men like tall women!” Like that was the definitive reason that I shouldn’t be self-conscious about my height, case closed. Riiiiight.

Reflections on release day… I started telling this story five years ago, and oh, how things have changed since then.
I was on my way back from a book festival the other day and I finally realized why these acknowledgments were such a struggle for me: I wasn’t thanking who I really wanted to thank. ThoughSkylarkcertainly wasn’t written in a vacuum, it was written privately; and, to a certain extent,Shadowlarkwas as well. But by the time I got to the third book in this trilogy, I wasn’t writin...

State-of-the-Art CGI: Say Hello to hyperrealistic Ed programmed by Chris Jones
Soon, there will be new hollywood blockbuster cashcow movies with Elvis, Erol & Marilyn. No expensive, moaning starlets anymore. Hooray for Hollywood, bad for us. Nevertheless, Ed is impressive work.
(But if I think about mandatory glitches and misbehaving code, I look forward to making ofs)
Work in progress made with Lightwave, Sculptris and Krita, composited with Davinci Resolve Lite. Music by me. Thanks...
