i dunno Chris, you tell me 🍃

Screenshot of mobile app Pikmin Bloom. A blue Pikmin with a red flower sprouting from his head pokes out from a torn orange crab-flavoured snack packet. He's surrounded by french fry-shaped snacks.

Screenshot of mobile app Pikmin Bloom. A blue Pikmin with an unopened bud sprouting from his head peeks out from a strawberry milkshake container. Inside, he is surrounded by pink strawberry milkshake. A straw pokes out at an odd angle - the Pikmin's stem emerges from the straw's usual hole in the container's lid.

Screenshot of mobile app Pikmin Bloom. Two white Pikmin with bright red eyes sit companionably together. The Pikmin on the left has a pale red flower sprouting from his head. The Pikmin on the right wears a green wooden frog as a hat. The frog is fishing and is in a Balinese wood-carved style. The frog hat is bigger than the Pikmin.

i started playing Pikmin Bloom again recently marching on the spot while i'm brushing my teeth is worth it when this is the reward

A screenshot of mobile game Pikmin Bloom. A small red Pikmin stands in a green field of flowers. He wears a delicious-looking pink macaron on his head, topped with a swirl of whipped cream, one raspberry, and one blueberry. He stares at you blankly.

'the labyrinth, the light sandy ground, the sharply delineated contours of the hedges [...] almost pitch black now – a pattern simple in comparison with the tortuous trail behind me, but with one which I knew in my dream, with absolute certainty, represented a cross-section of my brain'

W. G. Sebald describes the heath in 'The Rings of Saturn': 'numbed by this crazed flowering, I stuck to the sandy path until to my astonishment, not to say horror, I found myself back again at the same tangled thicket from which I had emerged about an hour before, or [...] some distant past.'

the heath is home to rare birds, insects, and reptiles; an RSPB spokesperson suggests habitats could take up to 25 years to recover in 2017, a black snake wriggled across our path as we followed a stony backroad. it was the first time i'd seen a reptile that wasn't a slow worm in England's wilds

i'm heartbroken about the wildfire at Dunwich Heath i spent time there in 2017: purple heather and yellow gorse as far as the eye can see. it feels like you're on another planet the fire affected an area the size of 210 football pitches, partly covering RSPB Minsmere www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

these photos were taken 30 seconds apart. a mischief maker... nay, a scoundrel!! a wastrel of the highest order. the depths of her devilment know no earthly bounds

Photo of a cat sitting behind a mounted drawing tablet. The cat, Coots, is white, grey, black, and stripey. Her body is mostly hidden behind the drawing tablet. A keyboard sits in front of her. Her green eyes stare at the photographer out-of-frame, with a calm expression.

Photo of a cat laying under a mounted drawing tablet. The cat, Coots, is white, grey, black, and stripey. She's laid on her back under the drawing tablet, her head and forepaws resting on the keyboard in front of her. She has a wild look in her eye and one exposed tooth shines mischievously. The photographer's hand rests on the keyboard, mid-sentence.

again, spoiler warning for people with photographic memories; case in point: a spread of my Lorelei and the Laser Eyes notes, which are across 14 pages total i ripped the maze picture out so i could lay it directly on my Steam Deck's screen. now THAT'S what i'm TALKIN' about!!!! 📝📝📝

A photo of an open notebook. The plain pages are covered in scruffy writing and scribbles. There are astrological symbols, as well as numbers and assorted words like 'Enneahedron', 'Himmelskoerper', and short stanzas of poetry. A drawn image of a maze has been torn from another page and lays to the right of the notebook.

i played @monoclelord.bsky.social's CD-ROM a couple of days ago. brilliant little puzzling game with good momentum don't look too closely if you're worried about solution spoilers (you'd have to be good at remembering numbers): if your game results in scribbly pages like this, i'm sold

A photo of an open notebook. The lined pages are covered in scruffy writing and scribbles, mostly of letters and numbers. A biro sits on the notebook to the right of the image.

there's a section in this atrociously boring AI film where a right hand turns into a left hand and all i can think is that AI image generation is the same as it ever was same as it ever was same as it ever was same as it e v e r w a s

i like to come up with a different lunch break status every day. i'm particularly fond of today's

A screenshot of the server member list in communication platform Discord. The image shows one user, named 'emma (they / them)'. Underneath their name is a status, which begins with an egg emoji, and reads 'eating an egg for an hour'.

emma k park@emmakpark· Jul 8

for example, read the alt text on this image. i describe: • what the image is (image type and source) • what stands out about it to me, the artist. consider what's important for a viewer to know about the art - particularly the subject • the conceptual style of the image (2/6)

Digital art drawn by Emma. A pale white woman lays on her back, peering up at the viewer through forest green eyes with a sultry expression. Her black hair with a blunt cut fringe billows around her. Her dangling silver earrings sparkle. Her lips are painted a strong red. The lines and colouring of the drawing are clean, and it has a 90s anime vibe.

heeheehee!! thanks to everyone who wished me luck when i asked for it about a month ago... it seemed to work, because i'm starting at @lostincult.co.uk today! 💜

whoever wrote this quest step at Guild Wars 2 HQ, thank you

A screenshot from video game Guild Wars 2. It's a quest step that reads 'Beat up the bigot.'.

i have just enough faith in Nintendo's history with LoZ art styles to not immediately write it off, but i can't say i'm feeling optimistic... 😬 i'm hoping it leans Hyrule Warriors 1: more realistic than OoT, but still stylised! (apologies for lo-res pic, no-one played this dang game)

Screenshot from Hyrule Warriors 1. Legend of Zelda characters Link, Sheik, and Impa are pictured from left to right, looking concerned. They're rendered in a semi-real style, but with bright colours and typically anime-style features.

blocking!!!!! just have to sew the backing on tomorrow, then i am freeeee to work on personal crochet again 💗😤

Photo. A nearly-finished crochet tapestry project is pinned to foam boards. This process is called 'blocking', and helps to adjust the shape of finished crochet. The image on the tapestry is an Olympus Trip 35 film camera in white, dark blue, and orange yarn. Small tassels decorate the bottom, and the project hangs from a horizontal dowel.

doing some scruffy UI design for @potteringgame.bsky.social today and i'm leaving fair warnings in the documentation move fast, break things, make accidental dicks - that's the phrase, right?

Screenshot of a Confluence game design document. It shows three inventory slots, each with increasing amounts of a foxglove icon. The third looks somewhat phallic. The caption reads 'Image 3. If you say 'big foxglove' looks like a penis I'll deck you.'

4. you can combine this with other plugins like multi-column - this is the flexibility i love. once you're familiar with a plugin it's easy to set up a new views of your task database!! i'm building a calendar view at the mo. it works, but Obsidian's text wrapping limitations are my next hurdle 🙃

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. It shows multiple code blocks set out within columns syntax, designed to split 'fun' and 'organising' across two columns.

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. This is the result of the code block from the previous image. Two columns are titled 'hobbies' and 'organising', and show the 'fun' and 'organising' tagged tasks.

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. The title reads 'this week', then sub-titles reading Monday through to Sunday. Each day is split between 'morning', 'lunch', 'afternoon', and 'evening', with different tasks appearing in each block.

3. i'm happy enough using the masterlist to track my undated hobbies / projects right now, but it's pretty unwieldy so, i can do some super-quick filtering to make a note with just hobbies in. this code block gives me this nice sorted list! if i had priority on these i could sort by that, too

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. It shows a short code block written to filter tasks matching the tags 'fun' or 'organising', grouped by tag and sorted by due date.

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. This screenshot is the result of the code block in the previous image. It shows two lists of tasks under the headings 'fun' and 'organising'.

emma k park@emmakpark· Jun 2

(when a task becomes unblocked, the Tasks plugin lets me right click it and change it to a 'to do' status). it's definitely not as easy to use and UX friendly as a purpose-built system like Todoist or Trello, but it gives me much more control in how i organise my tasks, and it's totally free 😅

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. A menu lists multiple different task statuses, covering different times of day and their 'blocked' counterparts.

emma k park@emmakpark· Jun 2

the weather symbols are actually checkboxes! just adjusted with a CSS snippet because i view these tasks in other places isolated from the time of day box, i still need the visual of when i'd like to get it done, e.g.

Screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. It shows a list of tasks, each with a small coloured weather symbol pre-fixing it where a checkbox would usually be.

emma k park@emmakpark· Jun 2

reorganised my to do list in Obsidian yesterday. big sense of relief versus my previous method, which was just high / medium / low priority i already mentally view my day in these blocks, and plan around what my energy levels will be, so makes sense my to do list should match (and it's cute) ☀️🌙

A screenshot of Obsidian note-taking software. At the top is a title that reads 'due today', and underneath it is a to-do list split into four sections: 'Morning' in yellow, 'Lunch' in orange, 'Afternoon' in pink, and 'Evening' in purple.

progress on dad's crochet is going well but i am feeling a little scrutinised

Photo. A striped grey, black, and white cat peers judgementally over the top of a tablet screen with narrowed eyes. Only the top of her head can be seen, from the eyes up. The tablet screen shows a pixel art film camera, an Olympus Trip 35.

grubby, orange-y industrial structures against a clear blue sky is a very good aesthetic reminds me of this sign in Dungeness from a few years ago. it had a very ominous squeak

Photo. A sign on a post stands next to another post, both looking worse-for-wear. They're pictured against a bright blue sky with minimal fluffy white clouds. A few powerlines run across the image, appearing from out-of-frame. The sign reads 'THE PILOT, Dungeness', and it's mid-swing in its metal frame. It shows a picture of a white boat on bright blue water.

Fergus boiled down some peaches to make syrup for peach iced tea and it's the best colour to ever grace my rods and cones

Photo of a white hand holding a bottle, with a mixture of plants out-of-focus in the background. The bottle holds a beautiful peachy-pink opaque liquid. The bottle is clear glass with a swing top stopper, and has a piece of blue painters tape across its middle which reads 'use by...'. The rest of the text is cut off by the bottle's curve.

thanks DHL that's really helpful information

A screenshot of an email. The subject line reads: 'We have your parcel from Your Parcel'. It's from an official DHL email address.

maybe it's just me but there's something so cosy about listening to the devs in my team talk shop that i have no hope of understanding while i plan my silly little Jira timelines

Scruffy MSPaint image, black lines on a white background. Emma sits between two speech bubbles, head in their hands and eyes closed, a vacant smile on their face. They hold a pencil in their hand and an open notebook sits in front of them. The speech bubble on the left, being said by someone out-of-frame, reads: 'have you tried scrumching the flange matrix adjacent to the imported squee module while applying the Splormpf2.0 templated tool preset?'. The speech bubble on the right, also said by someone out-of-frame, reads: 'omg no i was creating a new search map algorithm treadmill flow but i could switch to a static load BarfTown node and see if that works'.

i'm blue da bu dee da bu dai

A comic drawn in MSPaint. The top text reads 'day in the life of someone who touches their face a lot'. On the left is a face with neat blue eyeshadow. Under it reads 'me with make up on at 09:00 AM'. On the right is the same face covered in messy blue smudges and trails. Under it reads 'me with make up on at 09:00 PM'.

really need to get back to writing my DnD world because one of the primary characters is this wizard with cataracts. this is him standing at full height

A quick digital drawing. It shows a very short wizard who is approximately 50% large blue hat and 50% large white beard. Small holes have been torn into his hat for his eyes to peer through above his ruddy nose. His tiny hands appear to be coming through the beard. He wears long brown cloth shoes and a blue robe.

feeling under the weather, either hay-fever or mild flu. gives me plenty of sofa time to work on my dad's birthday present! using lots of new tips and tricks for this tapestry. far from perfect and learning much about what i'd do differently in future pixel art's mine - it's an Olympus Trip 35!
