#Seattle is looking for #Comics artists in #Oregon and #WashingtonState to do stories about transit! $54,000 each!!!

A cohort of six artists will be commissioned to create two original short-form graphic novels each, illustrating stories from communities along Metro’s twelve existing and planned RapidRide bus lines (A–K and R).

I messed with this a bit more before I was satisfied with it.
And it's still not fully fleshed, just a v basic concept art (for @elfi )
Polly is my backdrop

In other news, here's some art I started to inspire @elfi
I'm hoping we can inspire each-other back and forth maybe. Forever and ever. Infinite inspiration hack.

🐟🧽 University of #Bonn researchers developed a washing machine filter inspired by sardine and anchovy gill systems that removes over 99% of #microplastics from laundry wastewater. The biomimetic design uses funnel-shaped filtration with self-cleaning mechanisms copied from #fish feeding systems.

Some generous folk have opted to gift copies of the Space Dragons to folk who want them!

If you'd like a copy of either or both books in ebook and audiobook, please DM me! No need to be shy or justify the request. There are plenty!

You'll receive them when Kickstarter backers get their rewards (so 2026).

📚 Many, many available! 📚

In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

hey all if you're around the #Koblenz and can help, this is an emergency—my two queer kids (young adults) who left my house recently had issues with their new host and are now stranded at the station, and they have no money to come home either. we need someone I can wire money to and who could bring it in cash to them, or else someone who could host them for a day, or else someone who could help them find a Bahnhofsmission at least. they do not speak German and are in an emotionally fragile state. DM me if you can help

*edit*: we did not find anyone in time sadly, so they'll hang out until I arrive there tomorrow. thanks everyone who helped 🙏

PLEASE help us with moving costs. we have someone to act as reference now but can't actually apply to anywhere cause we can't afford the deposit yet.

GOAL: £2308.22/£4000
