I Can Tell Im Mentally Ill Because I Just Had To Title A Document Another Jacobi Drabble Pt 4

I can tell I’m mentally ill because I just had to title a document “another Jacobi drabble pt 4”

Warren Kepler and the love of his life (his 300$ whiskey)

idgaf about career development im using the rest of my 20s to build my lore

I’m realizing that I did in fact do that but in my defense my feeling on this subject may be elevated by the fact that I have skin the color of printer paper that literally everything shows up on and the honest misfortune of having that skin come into contact with this particular surface on a regular basis for many years of my life

Thinking about @prettypipedream ‘s post about the foxes and kt tape as I tape up my knee today so I’m going to add a few thoughts

You know that self adhesive wrap stuff that athletes sometimes use, the foxes for sure have that and they suffer for it every day

If you have no idea what I’m talking about right now it looks like this

Notice the texture, that shit is a nightmare for your skin. It will dig in and all those little divots will make an appearance on your skin as soon as you take it off along with the lines from the edges of it. You’re technically supposed to put something under it like gauze or a pre wrap but if you do that and then wrap somewhere completely unanchored (your calf, forearm, knee, basically anywhere that’s not your hand or your ankle, and even ankle is a bit questionable sometimes) it will slide around which is even more uncomfortable than just letting it make itself a little home inside your skin. Also if you get it in or next to any sort of lever joint you might as well kiss personal comfort goodbye because every time you move you’re going to feel it

All that to say the foxes for sure walk around looking like they have tv static on their skin from this ungodly creation

Also, at least in my experience you always have that one person around who’s like really weirdly good at wrapping it, like even better than the coaches/trainers, it doesn’t even matter if they’re going it on themselves or other people the fit and the tightness are somehow perfect every time. If feel like with the foxes this is most definitely either Dan or Renee (Aaron is so pissed that they do a better job than him as a pre-med student). Renee I feel like would be good at it because she’s probably wraps her hands when she spars with Andrew so she’d have the tightness thing down, Dan is just completely vibes, I just feel like she’d be really good at it. But I also feel like Wymack would be really oddly bad at it, not just like he’s not as good I’m talking actually bad like no one allows him to do it because he’s so bad. One time Nicky rolled his ankle during practice and Abby wasn’t there to wrap it for him so Wymack begrudgingly did it and that night when his took it off his foot was red and completely numb from how tight it was

Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.

(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)

My child! The angst I've waited for the entire time I've been writing Redamancy!

Enjoy this while you can because the angst starts in the next chapter
