celestelabedz I’ve noticed many of my friends are in The Grapefruit Window, which means they’re old enough to enjoy eating grapefruit but not yet on medication that prevents them from eating grapefruit.

@dangusset @KingDugg @RicherSounds I’ve been more than happy with my Audio Technica from Richer on Whiteladies (AT-LP5, which was not terribly cheap, but cheaper ATs were available… It has a built-in-but-switchable phono pre-amp so you can go straight to powered speakers.)

@rocketveg @Southvillenews To be fair, they did also have gunpowder and rudimentary steam engines for hauling rubble out. It would be nice if we still had the money for an army of navvies, though.

gemmacorrell everyone is worried about AI art but I’m still over here dealing with brands and apps that think it’s OK to just straight up copy art (badly).

Kind of ironic that @SensaHealth’s post about laziness is accompanied by a lazy trace of my art. pic.twitter.com/vix8xbtbZ3

A bit of detail for those who, like me, have some interest in the old Rownham Ferry and Clifton Bridge Station in the background behind it… Is that *really* the same bridge that you can still walk over today? 2/2 pic.twitter.com/ZWa5Dr0PD6

, Rownham Ferry, , 1907. The actual Rownham Ferry is the little boat in the distant background, I believe. Anyone know what the actual sailing boat in the foreground is? 1/2 pic.twitter.com/OOKlbwXUVE
