The Older I Get The More I Realize How Unimportant It Is To Tell People My Business

in 2022 i saw so many human organs

Interstellar by Matt Walker Via Flickr: It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Milky Way shot on Flickr, so here is one from our recent trip to the PNW. This place is called Secret Beach in the Samuel H Boardman area. It’s no secret though, and it has been heavily photographed in recent time. It’s a really cool beach with tons of sea stacks. We shot into blue hour, and captured a pretty decent sunrise too. Thanks for looking!

it does more harm than good to prop up the myth of the ‘neurotypical’ who completes tasks cheerfully with no issues. this person is a capitalist fantasy. the more you define yourself in comparison to this myth the more you justify social structures staying the same with minor accommodations to the ‘exceptions’ and the continued pathologizing of discomfort under hostile conditions

I feel like the weirdest part is that I didn’t see people saying ‘I find Dukat’s sex crimes to be disgusting so he is repulsive to me. I do not want to fuck this man. pass.’ which would be entirely fair, imo. Instead it was like ‘ugh he was a shitty dad and evil’. which. I mean some of the great DILFs of all time fit that description

people who think like this also need to put those stick-on bird decals on their glass patio doors so they don't get bloody noses every day

The Outsider: a complete archive. Bound in real leather.

What a project! I started this typeset last year and after two practice binds here is, finally, the real deal. This little book includes every line of dialogue spoken by the Outsider in the Dishonored games, all ripped and typeset by yours truly.

I learned a ton since this was my first foray into bookbinding. It was frustrating, it was fun, I'm proud of the result despite the myriad of flaws. Two of these binds are for mutuals, one is for me.

There was a ton of thought that I put into this typeset so I included some info about it under the cut.

I typeset this project in A6 instead of the standard A5 so it wouldn't feel like I was wasting a ton of material if this project had gone wrong - but also to stretch out a comparatively small amount of text into an amount of pages more appropriate of a book. All in all there's under 9000 words in this book but thanks to the small format it's just over 100 pages long. And it meant I could use normal office paper without ending up with the wrong grain direction!

I decided against hyphenation for 99% of the typeset because it felt like adding hyphens made the small amount of text even smaller. Almost every line was edited typographically in some way to make the text feel good to me, adding line breaks and so on, idk I don't know graphic design but I did what felt right to me, so it really did take a long, long time just to typeset it all.

I wanted it to include everything including cut lines, so I included those in red and italics in the appropriate spots hovering over and through the normal text. I was trying to elicit the feeling of a ghostly afterimage or a later correction or amendment of the text. This did mean cutting the cut lines down to just the important parts, e.g. I only included the "to be a dancer" part of the cut version of the "When Billie Lurk was eight" line.

The little stars demarcate scene divisions. Empty stars mark scenes that are exclusive of each other - only one version of each scene is played in a run. The start of each scene subsection is marked with a quest marker from the DH2 journal. The lines that start at these markers connect exclusive possibilities - as with the scenes separated by empty stars above, only one subsection per level of line is played in one run. The stars are admittedly used very inconsistently because I just found they broke up some sections way too much, but the quest markers and lines should be consistently used throughout the work at least haha

The cover has been stamped with 3d-printed stamps and the impressions then painted with gold leather paint in order to give an (easier, cheaper) approximation of gold foil tooled leather. I kept it very minimalistic because the sort of story I originally wanted to tell with it is that since this is obviously a heretical book it would be very subtle in its exterior so as to not draw unwanted attention, only revealing its forbidden nature if you pulled it off the shelf and opened it. After deciding I did want to include the title on the spine that story doesn't quite work anymore, but the somewhat reduced minimalistic design still suits the Outsider, I think.

NASA advertising "do you want to be an astronaut" to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?
