I’m a fan of nintendo, some anime/musicals, got 3 dogs and also an art blog @hoodiehorizon if you wanna check that out. Biromantic Asexual 21 y/o She/Her

i've just had a terrible idea

i present to you the mona lisa:

ok so, for the last few hours i've been making this code that organizes the colors in drawings:

(mostly @metukika's bc her works look really dope and i don't have many like that ;_;)

and these things feel like something that would be sold as a "deconstruction of classical paintings" like the "the kiss" by Klimt, "starry night" by Van Gogh or "Girl with a pearl earing" by vermeer

i can imagine going to an art gallery and finding stuff like this, made by someone who thinks they are so so smart

Ok but this is actually phenomenally cool OP, and a terrific tool for explaining some of the weirder aspects of color theory, especially how to translate color from traditional media to digital.

I'm working on the teaching plan for a digital painting class I'm going to pitch to my illustration school, and I was wondering if you had something I could use to show this concept to the class? (In exchange for full credit and money of course)

hate bluetooth headphones that talk. you are a machine you may NOT speak to me

when headphones beep sadly because their battery is low: oh you poor thing :( let me plug you in :(

when headphones say "battery low" in a human voice: Who Are You Stop Interrupting My Music

here's your fucking feedback @staff

list of problems the removal of icons causes:

  • i cant see my friends
  • ruins the sense of community
  • can't tell at a glance who's online right now and what they're interested in
  • literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.
  • i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog
  • can't tell who someone used to be if they change their username
  • squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped
  • ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you're trying to scroll past ones youve seen before
  • people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them
  • makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear

list of problems solved by removing icons:

  • ?????
  • who the fuck was asking for this
  • ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way

here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere

just a reminder that if you were rolled out the test roll-out with the new post headers without floating avatars/icons to provide feedback to staff (original post in source).

i know there's already 3rd party fixes going around, but please take the time to send feedback to staff to get at least icons back in some capacity in the headers while this is still in beta testing mode.

old/current:

header being beta tested:

Thank you so much for sharing what the test looks like. That's unbearable, would make Dash unusable.

No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.

the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!
