I crochet little animals for friends and family.
Unasked, most of the time :)

Worrying what other people think of me.
I know I shouldn’t care, but it’s hard not to.

“Political ideologies, an introduction” by Andrew Heywood, is available for free online.

It was required reading for my history study in uni about ten years ago. This seems to be a newer edition. It’s quite a read, but it covers a lot of isms in a generally unbiased manner.

No, I’m sorry. I wish I could help but I’m a bit out of my depth with this one. You might try a local career counselor, but that really depends on where you live and who’s available.

I wish you the best of luck though, I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for.

That’s not very nice, poor Groknak was cursed with a small head ever since he pranked his tribe’s witch doctor. Feeling bad about the whole affair, the chief treated him to this fashion shoot to help him improve his self-image.
And you just had to focus the attention to his head, tsk tsk, for shame. *shakes head*

You do your thing @Groknak@sh.itjust.works, don’t let the haters pull you down.

Yay! Thanks for the challenge, I really enjoyed a lot of the submissions.
The new challenge is up, get your needle and thread ready because it’ll be fashion week! :)

Well, it is hell after all. I think user friendly keyboards are more a thing for that other place :)

I know! I was really pleased with it, only took me a few tries as well.

Welcome to the community challenges!
We keep a list of previous challenges here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/17190976

Feel free to add your own submission, if you like :)

Prompt: A woman lounging in a ramshackle dhingy, wearing a large straw hat, on an open ocean, a half-submerged ruined building can be seen in the background --ar 4:3 --niji 6

My first computer was our family’s 286 Wang pc. I used it mainly to play Sierra games. It’s how I learned a lot of my first English words.
I got my first cellphone, a Sony-Ericsson, around 2003 and only because my brother gave it to me. I was a staunch hater of cellphones but too Dutch to pass up on a free thing :)

Writing, it allowed for knowledge to travel across vast distances. And for that knowledge to remain available and accurate for far longer than any oral tradition would be capable of.

Prompt: studio photography, a still-life in an infernal laboratory, consisting various alchemist flasks filled with colorful liquids, and a horned skull, and a stack of glowing stones, tastefully arranged on a circular table, in front of a tall tower window, the view outside the window is a panoramic vista of cloudy mountain peaks, cold moody backlit lighting, highly detailed, shot on dslr 22mm lens --ar 4:5 --style raw --stylize 75

Don’t look too much at that last part, I was just pulling random photography jargon out of my nether regions :)

You might like Shadows of Doubt. It’s a procedural generated detective game where you have to solve murders. The entire city is generated, every npc has their own routine and you can pretty much go anywhere. There’s sneaking, hacking, talking, etc.

It’s still in early access, but it’s already a lot of fun.

No, I got a permanent contract for a well paying job in the public sector. The job security is great and there’s a solid pension plan.
It’s what my partner likes to call an “iron rice bowl” :)

Prompt: fantasy movie still, Close-up view of a diamond on a pile of gold and a shifty thief, the thief looks greedily down at the diamond with a big smile his fingers reaching out to grab the diamond, a menacing dragon is in the background looming out of the shadows ready to eat the thief --ar 4:3 --stylize 75

This was quite fun, having three different subjects interact with each other wasn’t easy. In most of them the dragon was either in the wrong place or merged with the thief into some kind of weird hybrid :)

This challenge is over, @theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz wins and gets to host the next challenge!

Great design. The brutalist concrete house contrasts very nicely with the lush forest.

Very nice living room! The lighting and spaciousness makes it very attractive. Would love to have seen more of it.
