Doing my first vtuber avatar for a friend. Long way to go yet but I&#39;m feeling SO good about the edge flow in the low poly face. He subdivides so nice! Will be a real joy to texture and animate. TIP: I&#39;ve been finding it super worthwhile to create some throw away materials that are just basic colors and assign faces to them when I get areas with good flow. Makes it way easier to do the next part and spot poles.

Had to get out the big bowl! Picked nearly a gallon of elderberries yesterday. There were still a lot more. Always feels rewarding to have to get out the big pot. Now to make jam, and possibly elderberry mead. Gotta use them quick! Elderberries are frustrating in that you can&#39;t snack on them while picking and prepping them.

No sooner than I&#39;d finished making elderberry syrup, a neighbor posted that they had a ton of fresh off the tree quince first come first serve. All in all, today I made 4.5 pints of elderberry syrup, 5.25 pints of quince butter, and 2 pints of quince sauce with another few pounds of quince left to decide what to do with tomorrow.

Figured out how to record in VR and did a little bit of video for the fae creature I made a couple weeks ago. She&#39;s my first free public avatar. Her link for VRC is in the video description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhyUPLZZAR0

3d model I&#39;ve been working on for a friend&#39;s vtuber stream. Done with the modeling and first pass of the texturing. May try out a cel shader effect next. Link to video orbit of the model for a better look at it. https://youtu.be/6M64qTjMVLw

If you mean luffa sponges, they&#39;re actually an edible gourd when younger. You can bury your shame in a nice curry. Look for something with &#39;ridge gourd&#39;, &#39;chinese okra&#39;, &#39;turai&#39;, &#39;nenori&#39;, or &#39;gilki&#39; The name varies a lot as it&#39;s consumed in much of the world.

@dantheclamman@scicomm.xyz But without lead causing irrational impulsive behavior and brain damage, how will the GOP get new voters?

@sashag@anarres.family It would be a shame as the GOP would use it to end Right to Repair your own home. Not like the evil monsters haven't criminalized bottles of drinking water already. Did you know they can arrest you for a 'drug paraphernalia' or 'aiding illegal immigrants' in some of the redhole states for having and/or distributing WATER. What'd be REALLY great if people would be proactive rather than reactive and paid attention before things got this bad.

@EdCates@mastodon.social Sorry. No cell phone use will ever disturb me as much as a woman in the stall next to me at a public bathroom sexy talking her boyfriend and snapping photos with her phone (presumably snapping photos, not just playing the camera sounds, I didn't wait around to find out)

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt If you're able to use a soldering iron, may I suggest: https://www.instructables.com/4-DIY-TV-B-Gone/ Will cost you about $5 (maybe $20 in Trumpland) and it will stop advertisements, FOX news and other lie machines in most public spaces. Of course, this administration will also probably have me declared a terrorist for spreading this information.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca Woah. I mean I heard that AI was threatening white men's jobs by so frequently being confidently wrong while citing reddit as its only source, but to go full Karen means it's much further in replacing them than anyone might have guessed.

A short bad video clip of my art installation at UnScruz. I think I&#39;m going to have to set it up again here at home to really capture how it works. Procedurally generates light and sounds. https://youtu.be/8YTiaz-4gBM

Yay! My spouse recorded better video of my art installation than I did. Also captures more of our camp and one of our art bikes. https://youtu.be/gd4XQkDAuXw

Notice the framing of headlines. When the GOP gerrymanders, like a rotting fish, they do it from the head, the state legislature rams it through without so much as a hearing from the public. This is met with calm &#39;they&#39;re fixing things&#39; type headlines (see below) When the Dems introduce responses to this corruption by ballot measure and it&#39;s approved by the MAJORITY OF THE CITIZENS, it&#39;s bad, evil, wrong, etc. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/23/...

This level of idiocy causes me physical pain. I had to watch a video to make sure it wasn&#39;t fake because it&#39;s some embarrassingly moronic. These idiots shouldn&#39;t be in charge of anything. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rober-kennedy-trump-drug-prices-math_n_69ea8b3ce4b0cc34aae56d24

Got a vicious cold a couple weeks ago and it really delayed my art project for Unscruz. As of today, I&#39;m finally back on track and within a couple hours of being done. Here&#39;s test assembly of 2 of the 7 stalks and 7 of the 27 flowers. They are made entirely of trash. Empty plastic bottles, PVC pipe from a busted coldframe, ends of polycarbonate from an awning, ends of LED strips from old projects, even the CPU is from junk parts and the wire was left by the power company.

It sure would be nice corrupt US government looters (AKA most of the Trump administration) would get their comeuppance under the law, but the right wing would probably scream Communism while continuing to rob the citizenry and half the citizens would be stupid enough to shriek along with them. https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/markets/tons-of-gold-mountains-of-cash-chinese-official-gets-death-sentence-in-mega-corruption-scandal/ar-AA1TuklO

To commemorate Trump&#39;s edict that imagery of nooses, swastikas, and racist loser flags are &#39;non-divisive&#39;, I made some art that all real American patriots can agree is inarguably non-divisive. To any real patriots suffering through this idiot&#39;s rule, please feel free to use this or any derivation of it that will upset Trump and his cult of morons. I expect I&#39;ll be labeled a terrorist over this piece as neither figure resembles Mike Pence.
