Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good riddance to that stressy burden, Dana, even if that underseller fucked your price.

I'm looking for art help. I'm pretending I'm confident enough to hang something I've drawn, and there's a sale on deviantArt prints until tomorrow midnight Pacific. If you have the time, anything here you'd recommend (SFW if you're not logged into dA with adult settings--and I don't want to print porn anyway)? I can't judge me.

I did print out many of my recent digital pictures because I like my paper files, and even if I can't get notes on my last picture (::sob::), I do feel a bit better about myself and my ability to make pictures.

Can I start and finish this one idea today and still get my job done. Let's see.

Right there with you.

Sorry you're in the same boat, sarameg. Apparently I've been under the bus since last night while I was watching Cosmos and deliberately not checking my work email.

I went to meditation this morning even though I didn't really have time, because this day is not going to improve.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, Dana!

Go, ita with the art! I will try to take a look after work.

re: trigger warnings for college classes

I totally read this as "this post may remind you of college classes to traumatic effect" at first. More seriously, I was just talking to a couple of my co-workers about how two of us haven't been able to bring ourselves to watch 12 Years a Slave yet and the third just watched it the other day and cried and cried so she was glad to be at home and not in a theater.

Sorry about the buses, people who have been thrown.

I am relieved to have only one meeting today.

These pictures are supposed to contrast mainstream and edgy over decades, but when she hits decades I know more about, the less edgy she feels.

eta: Thanks, -t!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That's great, Dana!

I'm sorry the day's started badly for some.

Feminist Frank and the Hey Gurl memes should be a rare slash pairing for Yuletide.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is a super good idea, and pretty good photos, but the costumes/hair/make-up could use some more research/experience and attention to detail, I think. But it is a student project.

So the Taurus is parked next to the garage, waiting to be cleaned out, then sent to its reward. The Jeep is now my daily driver. Now I have to learn the responses of a new vehicle and wonder if squirllyness is the result of problems with the steering or the stellar road conditions of Utah. It's amazing how many bumps there can be in a perfectly smooth road. I think the road engineers really want to design roller coasters.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, I like the idea but I'm not sure it's very well-executed in terms of research/styling.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The simulated olde-tyme photography isn't very good either. Most of those pictures are far too sharp and clean to match the film, lighting and optics of their era.

Compare to these actual tintypes that were taken this year (including one of the last pictures of Phillip Seymour Hoffman). It was much harder to get a sharp picture with period gear.
