kid pix

today my friend showed me an archived and functioning version of kid pix on the internet archive. when i was in elementary school, we used to have computer class every thursday where we got to play with kid pix, i remember the little theme song and making images for stories id write. i rly love returning to it as a low stakes and low barrier way to make visual art :p

Using Kidpix (1980 ver) for drawing

Idk if anyone used to have KidPix (the drawing software) on their old computer but I found that someone put the 80s version of it online for free cause it's public domain. It's so weird and odd and I love it. I use it for most if not all of my digital art. You can do so much on it but also so little, it's like a creative challenge. If you search up "KidPix" it should be the first thing that shows up or the link is here: https://kidpix.app/

unplatform - a guide for leaving social media

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

unalive

it’s so bad that discourse about it being bad is kind of played out now but it bears repeating how fucking bad it is
