I try to keep things light hearted as much as possible, but you may have seen my posts about looking for work. It's been tough dealing with all of the studios I worked for shutting down or laying off staff. I have a survival fundraising goal & I'm applying for jobs every day (specifically remote work in narrative, or editing for books and comics as I've done for years, and consulting on either), so any support or boosts on that front are very much appreciated 🙏🏿❤️ ko-fi.com/thatjayjustice
vi can't be simple, even old farts who worked with it for decades are sometimes lost with how it works, it just doesn't care about you potentially making mistakes while using it, being efficient with it requires strong discipline for little reward, it's not like it's the only text editor around...
My vision of the future. There are 3 technologies that are going to revolutionize human reproduction in the near future, designer babies (genetically engineered children), artificial wombs, and (this one is probably new to you) in vitro gametogenesis. Ever heard of in vitro gametogenesis? byteseu.com/1168478/ #FutureStudies #FuturesStudies #Futurology
Many of you will find my vision here controversial cause of the genetically engineered human beings but I hope you guys will just appreciate my honesty here.

One day in 1983, while studying a hand-drawn map from 1792 of his home town in Ecuador, Galo Ramón, a historian, came across a dispute between a landowner and two local Indigenous communities, the Coyana and the Catacocha. The boundary conflict involved an ancient lagoon, depicted on the map.
“The drawing depicted a lagoon brimming with rainwater,” says Ramón. Ravines were depicted forming below the high-altitude lagoon, indicating that it supplied watersheds further down – contrary to the typical flow where a watershed feeds into the lagoon.
Ramón had discovered a long-forgotten ancient water management system conceived by the Paltas, a pre-Incan civilisation that inhabited the semi-arid region more than 1,000 years ago.

Ramón set out to recreate the Paltas’ lagoon system and, 40 years on, the region has enjoyed an environmental regeneration, offering solutions for Ecuador – which regularly faces severe droughts – and other parts of the world struggling to address water scarcity with limited resources.
