I played around with #inkscape again and trying to simulate this #80s aesthetics.

This style was very popular during the 80s and is retrospectively often use for anything related to this era. The name comes from the #Memphis Design Group.

Simple geometric forms and bright colors are quite determine for it.

David Copperfield, The ominous River by Phiz.

The image depicts the River Thames near the London docklands, a recurring symbol of both mystery and menace in Dickens’s novels.

Rendered in delicate line work and shadowed crosshatching, the river dominates the foreground, dark and still, bordered by ragged boats, leaning piers, and warped structures shrouded in fog. The water’s surface reflects the silhouettes of ships and industrial detritus, while in the distance, indistinct human figures suggest clandestine activity or silent tragedy.

Ça faisait 2-3 semaines que je bidouillais cet oiseau, et je pense qu'il est enfin terminé. J'ai dû m'y reprendre à deux fois pour les ailes, à un moment j'ai cru que c'était fichu. J'ai hésité à le mettre en couleur, puis j'ai hésité entre aquarelle et crayon de couleur, puis il était plus temps d'hésiter, c'était fait.

"None may pass thru the Barren Gate," said the attendant at Gate 14.

"What do you mean, none?" demanded Ed. "I'm a ticketed passenger. And I'm in Group 1." He waved his boarding pass.

"As thou #art a ticketed passenger & in Group 1, then forsooth, thou mayst pass," conceded the attendant.

Ed stalked into the connector.

"Why's it called 'Barren Gate'?" I asked.

"Those who pass thru shall never sire nor bear young," intoned the attendant, as if handing down a prophecy.

Vintage pin-up calendar from July 1954.

Text below the calendar dates for July says:

"A man who is married has offered to buy her
A screen test, a Jaguar, a week end in Haiti.
She gently but firmly said, "Sir, I'm a lady."
(He's eighty)".

An illustration shows a vivacious brunette lying on her stomach. Her knees are bent and her feet in golden strappy high-heeled sandals are kicked up in the air. Her lower back is every so barely covered by a loose white towel, revealing tan lines on her upper thighs and the ghost of a bikini string across her back. She is propped up on her elbows, her hair pulled back in another towel. She looks over her shoulder and gives a bright smile to the viewer. It's classic, kittenish cheesecake.

It's funny how the smoothest, straightest, easy-to-navigate roads often run through some of the most boring landscapes.

And some of the roughest, most circuitous and rugged ones take us through incredibly beautiful places. Maybe it's because we're moving so much slower that we take time to appreciate our surroundings.

Nature has her moments of fury and storm. But she also has times, many times, of serenity and calm, times when we can look and marvel at her majesty.

And experience peace.

Human hands are incredible tools -- we create with them, feel with them, touch and sense, and carry various things from one place to another.

But sometimes they're not enough, and that's when we use our abundant human ingenuity to fashion a means to add to what our hands can carry: we employ pots, baskets, Tupperware, slings, fabric, totes -- culture and era determine our choices.

Don't trust cloud services with your creative work.

#enshittification #privacy #infosec #security #cybersecurity #writing #art

Tumblr post by maerossi.

screenshot - "Google Sheets
We're sorry. You can’t access this item because it is in violation of our
Terms of Service."

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff. Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.

Holy smokes, guys. It's way worse than | thought. Google actually took away access to every single file of fiction writing I'd made on that account. BUT |
backed it all up on Scrivener yesterday by coincidence. So | haven't lost my work, but I could have just lost the 12,000 words I've written this month after a year of really intense writer's block. I honestly don't know what that would have done to
my psyche. Please be careful out there, folks! <3
