A Rant: I Loathe CAPTCHAS With A Burning Passion. They Used To Be Fine But Now They're Nearly Impossible

A rant: I loathe CAPTCHAS with a burning passion. They used to be fine but now they're nearly impossible to solve. I cannot tell you how many minutes of my life I have wasted trying to click on images of crossroads, motorcycles or traffic lights, only to do it "wrong" and have to start over again. 😭 I cannot tell you how many times my boomer parents rang me saying that the CAPCHA won't go away and they can't access a website or even log into an account. I cannot tell you how many times I gave up entirely on accessing a website because the CAPTCHA asked me to look at this incomprehensible image of letters and numbers mixed together, and I couldn't do it because I'm visually impaired. Don't get me started on the AI-generated images they seem to use in CAPCTHAS more, nowadays.

There have to be better ways to determine whether a user is a human, without infringing on their privacy OR frustrating the blood out of them.

Vicomte trapped in tortute chamber, ah yes, my favorite song.

France Billboard top 10 record

* the gramophone wasn’t invented until 1887? (musical takes place 1888 I think) and vinyls weren’t a thing until much later but u know what, much like a record, time is a flat circle and also welcome to the doodleverse where anachronisms abound 😵‍💫

They're so cute, I love your coloring!

I had to draw out this exchange on Twitter with Meg and Christine... 😭 It's too real.

Love it! I like the bony hands : D

I have too many feelings about string instruments.

I promise I'm shading the Nadir drawing but I got distracted and drew little Kiera again (Eristine's daughter), and also made a humble addition to the @birdstooth cinematic universe by trying to doodle Kiera and Christine in their style. 😌 That was a lot of fun!!

@lovely-lotte look at them, she's definitely got Erik's genes

Cute

a sweet eristine hug for the drawing request! :)

Surprise hug attack from Christine!!
