I was pushing it a bit, but I couldn't resist it's little face

I don't normally comment on news posts, but in this instance, FUCK CANCER

Fuck cancer for stealing my brother from me, and for taking half my bf's lung

I seriously hopes this works for everyone out there living with this disease, and for their families, friends, the people who love them....

.....and also for everyone who has died too soon and missed their chance for survival. Their donation of tissue samples and furthering the cancer research that ultimately wouldn't help them, but will help the poor bastards that are diagnosed today and in the future...It is bitter sweet

Fuck cancer

a certain ‘labor of love’ needs to be involved

You are not wrong! I think I must be mental sometimes, but it can be good fun discovering new things and then sharing them....

I really like her work, I posted last week some of her cityscapes of Manchester, which is interesting to see the ordinary and mundane of somewhere you know immortalized in art. I've got some others of hers which I'll probably share next week

Also thanks for the tip regarding the code to expand images, it would be nice if the developers added a nice easy button to click to do it for me, but it's something I can remember to do, like all the other minor things that help when making a post (it's a learning process)

Cheers! 😀

edit, I've just tried it out on one of my posts on mander, it works really well!

Scotland does have it's share of horrible decor, I do quite like the over abundance of tartan soft furnishings though...I've seen some that must be like living in one of those 'magic eye' pictures, must be fun if you have epilepsy....

They’re over 70.

No need for a proper sink in the kitchen as they exist on Wiltshire Farm Foods 👍

Well that's worse than useless....

I'm fully convinced it's a house for sex parties. Glossy wipe down surfaces for added hygiene, plus the plastic covers on the seats and table, a pointless sink to rinse your dick in, the weird bedroom/toilet/utility room. It's high up on a hill so there's the potential for some al fresco fucking, a marque out front....I've clearly been thinking a lot about this

edit- I forgot about the glass gimp box under the stairs....

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

It's also been reduced! Buyers market.... perfect for a Hugh Hefner Valley type

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

I think that's the one with the fridge freezer in it ....I think I was just getting really confused by then

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Rip out the horrible interior, extend, it could look really nice!

In it's current state though, it's just bizarre. It's like an 'upmarket' house in the countryside for sex parties.... Maybe the weird hand wash basin in the kitchen is for rinsing your dick in?

I’m glad there are artists capturing the normal sights of places instead of focusing on the most impressive and amazing parts of the world, you know?

I agree, it's always nice to see your local places immortalized in art, I think it helps that she's from Bolton, although I haven't seen any paintings of that downtrodden place yet...

All that's missing from the paintings is a couple of spice-heads, and the guy who's always playing the 'Harry Potter Theme' on a recorder near Selfridges

Love back at you, from up the road 🐝 ❤️

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

She's won a few awards for her work which doesn't surprise me!

I'll be posting some of her other work at some point which is just as good, if not better.....even though I do love the fact that she makes Blackpool look pretty fucking amazing 🤣

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

they’re presented on a legit looking website mixed in with real information. It really can poison the well of information out there

I completely agree with this, I'm not against ai art (I've had a mini dabble to 'create' something, it's fun! and from a science perspective a photo realistic dinosaur created using up to date research can help present information and capture an audience) however, it does need to be labelled as such when depicting actual living things today

Also, the text on this website also reads like ai mind babble with lots of 'flowery' phrasing and repetition, I've no idea if it is ai generated but even my attempts at writing read better (I hope)

The 'authors' are also suss- '.....Sophia has a deep love for furry friends, from the tiny shrew to the giant elephant. She spends her days studying how these incredible creatures live, play, and interact with their environment. With a heart full of curiosity and compassion, Sophia is dedicated to protecting mammals and their habitats'

This is 'Sophia'

Quite fascinating in a horrendous way, I genuinely hope this isn't the future of the internet

If it turns out I'm wrong about any of the above I will happily edit my comment (and include an apology)....I doubt that will be happening though....
