You Might Have Seen My Posts About My New Shop, Loish.Shop! Its Time For Me To Share More Information

You might have seen my posts about my new shop, Loish.Shop! It’s time for me to share more information about the first product I’ll be launching there ~ This is the Gallery In A Box! It contains 64 art cards inside a pretty little drawer box with a ribbon pull. Each card has artwork on the front and the sketch on the back. Every little detail, from the design of the box to the roundness of the corners, were tweaked and perfected over the last year to create this, and I’m so excited to finally be able to show it to you all!

This is my first custom designed product, and it will be available soon as a limited release! That means that there will be a specific timeframe in which you can order these - after that, it will no longer be available. To receive details about this release, sign up to the mailing list at Loish.Shop. We’re sending out more information on Monday, so keep an eye on your inbox 👀

I have an entire shelf full of them those bastards have sat there for years looking pretty they're never gonna get filled

hello beautiful new notebook that i am too afraid to use

This makes me think... so the public school system in Australia actually intends to make people hate learning and therefore go get a low paying job and stay in poverty and therefore submissive to the upper class... Also, by this logic our government system is designed to keep the poor in poverty, keep them in shitty jobs or not having one at all, beating them down either way, ruining their self esteem, driving people to literally unalive themselves (see: centrelink robodebt, it was a real thing a couple years ago and had a lot of casualties), drive up the prices of housing and food to the point people are living on the actual streets while the rich get richer and more tax exemptions, systematically breaking down the average person until they're completely submissive, and if you want to have a chance of escaping this cycle and go to uni for something you can make money off, you'll likely be in debt to the government for the rest of your life and you're at their mercy because they could turn around and demand that money back at any moment or even create more debt just like the robodebt hell that Aussies went through a while back. This society is designed to benefit the rich, keep down the poor, keep the poor uneducated and hating the very thing that'll get them out of it (learning), stop them from thinking about just how hard they're getting fucked by the system, while the rich slowly siphon every cent of funding from things that belong to the public such as the NDIS, public hospitals, and public schools into subsidies and benefits for the already rich, the greedy fuckers that keep demanding more for no other reason than that they just *want it*. Also, the public mental health system is designed to break down down mentally ill people until they can't take it anymore and either give up or unalive themselves, breaking them down with medications that don't work and drug them up to their eyeballs to keep them placated and obedient to the system. The psych wards are designed to be violent, awful places, leading people to either spend what little they have on private health insurance (hence the minor subsidies that make it slightly more affordable), but even then they're not much better most of the time and are still designed to break down the mentally ill because they're "unstable" and are probably the most likely to lead a riot against the system and therefore need to be controlled the most. Meanwhile, politics and ideologies are mostly distractions that are meant to keep us fighting with each-other, to stop us from uniting against the system and tearing it down once and for all and making one that actually benefits the general public and not the greedy rich motherfuckers that pay to train themselves and their offspring to more easily fuck the rest of us over. That's one hell of a theory, dude.

this is so on the nose

[ID: post by The Garantine quoting the start of a wikipedia article

Very tired of hearing about what the intentions are. If a system constantly produces a different outcome than the one it is "intended" for then it's perfectly reasonable to assume the actual intention is the outcome it continues to produce.

beginning of quoted article below reads as follows:

The purpose of a system is what it does

The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a systems thinking heuristic coined by Stafford Beer, who observed that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do." The term is widely used by systems theorists, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it. When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.

the chicken dream

Last night I dreamt I was in school again and was, under mysterious circumstances, appointed "head of chickens". Apparently the other guy, a programmer, who used to be appointed head of chickens was now head of something else because he did something strange and horrible to do with the chickens. So, I was to run classes feeding the chickens, look after them as the roamed the school footy field, give lectures on the chickens, and generally do everything chicken-related. One girl, who was legitimately a girl I used to know in school, drew a way too amazing artwork of me as a chicken on a Viking boat full of chickens, complete with my funky floofy hair. I was so proud of myself, too, finally being recognised for my talents. Then I had to climb up a gigantic jungle gym with a heavy bag and kept failing until I finally made it to phys ed class.

Guess I'm head of chickens now? Still not sure what that means.

Also you're stuck with it IRL you dirty little shitposter

I shouldn't push myself so hard. I should look after myself more. Yet, for some reason I always end up the same.
