Hey #Seattle, Scarecrow Video is trying to raise 1.8 million dollars to stay open. I'd been meaning to visit, and they're amazing! Consider supporting them with a membership if you like physical media. (They also rent by mail.)
A massive, super-targeted EMP has temporarily destroyed the internet. Global conflicts cease as a new craze takes hold: IRL memes, which is just people making silly faces at their neighbors. A certain former president is on the run in a white speedboat, being chased by the Feds and a hungry pod of Orca whales. The whales are gaining on him.
I have a cup of tea by my elbow, and my mechanical keyboard is perfectly clicky. 😌
I'm so bummed to see #Affinity has sold themselves to Canva.
I don't hate Canva. But they're a VC-backed subscription service with AI ambitions, which doesn't bode well for those of us who need affordable, non-shitty graphic design software.
Back up your install files, everyone. This may be the last non-subscription version of Affinity Photo we get. 😬
Sometimes I like to torture myself, so I'm going to try to draft a complete mystery novel in a month, starting tomorrow. 😏
I haven't attempted anything like this since the start of the pandemic, but it was kind of fun? Anyway, if you're at all curious about how the authorial sausage is made, I'm going to try to blog my way through this one, just for kicks.
