as an empath there are many bony fish species i can’t make eye contact with because their emotions flood my brain at such high pressure it gives me nosebleeds but cartilaginous fish are no problem as 700 years ago i was a smalltooth sawfish
I was working with an item today that just utterly flabbergasted a part of me (the other was deeply frustrated with the catalogue record AS SOMEONE APPARENTLY THOUGHT IT WAS PRINTED ON SILK, coming back to that in a minute) … but ANYWAYS … said item is a replica of a medieval manuscript prayer book THAT IS ENTIRELY WOVEN out of grey and black silk … WOVEN … text, images, intricate grey scale, WOVEN … NOT PRINTED …
And it’s flabbergasting because it’s from 1888, Jacquard machine, IT USED PUNCH CARDS to weave these intricate pages … something like 400 weft per near square inch … IT looks like a page of textured paper, but it’s not, it’s entirely SILK … F*CK …
Anyways …
OKS I’ve since calmed down and found out that the reason they used “printed” is because it is essentially printed by a computer … in a weird way; when I import the record, I’m just gonna take that note out …
the second worst thing about the recent surge (no pun intended) in robotgirl posting is that I’m a reverse engineer, and an asexual one at that. if I met a robotgirl we wouldn’t have weird sex, I’d open up all her panels and take pictures of her PCBs and figure out what all the chips are and dump her EEPROMs and hard drive image and upload this to archive.org
the worst thing is that most of you robot girl posters would enjoy it

Excuse me, in the context of robotgirls, it’s not called “free use”, it’s instead “open source”
I love that Gold’s togekiss kept the personality it had as a Togepi. Togekiss are supposed to be blissful peace-loving creatures but every time you see Gold’s togekiss it’s like >:)
