Misanthropic Gender-Bender

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a job that required thinking so much. It just makes it so much harder when distracted. With a good simple physical labour job, you can usually allow muscle memory to do most of the work, allowing the mind to wander where it will (within reason - obviously safety must be considered).

Doing work that requires mental focus, problem solving, working through complex topics... Becomes exponentially more difficult when one's mind has been hijacked by the cyclone of feels and fantasies and memory-traps that swirl around during disruptive life events.

unrelated, it's just there to catch your eye :P)

a pencil drawing, abstract-ish. Looks like a step pyramid on a horizon with a globe shape behind the tip, a tree next to it, a stoney riverbed in foreground, with flame-shapes along the bottom.

@dansup I've been an enthusiastic #firefox user since it was first released. Great browser but I am also not impressed with the sidebar projects the #distracted #Mozilla has taken, i.e. Pocket.

I avoid #chrome and #chromium due to Google's infestation. They don't inspire confidence when it comes to privacy.

I'd love to see a FF-compatible browser that is truly private and secure. I also use text browsers like #w3m and #elinks.

If there is something I really like about getting Littlefur art, is Sascha's interaction with Sammy, his plushie lynx and companion.
And while Sammy is very obviously a plushie, he is kind of alive in Sascha's imagination. Reacting to scenes or Sascha himself.

Like in this case, when the little bearkitty should go and dress himself, because the family wants to leave in the foreseeable future.
Instead he gets incredibly distracted by drawing a little portrait for Sammy ... and then finding his Switch lodged under the bed as he is looking for some socks.
And well... Sammy is not happy with his little owner ^.^'

Sascha the little bearkitty, sitting on his bed and playing on his Switch, completely oblivious to the fact that he should have dressed himself a long time ago. At the moment, he is just wearing a diaper and his Bandana, the rest of his clothes are strewn in front of his bed. Sascha plushie friend, the lynx Sammy, is standing in front of him, arms crossed and very unhappy with his little owner

#Lulu "Boom Bang-a-Bang", 1969 #Eurovision, passed through two #attention filters.
A #social attention filter (pink) detects face-like shapes, with a boundary around the most mobile features.
A change attention filter (cyan) marks areas of high visual change.

The video invites a viewer to note and reflect on their own attention, whether they feel #distracted, and what "#deficit" might mean to their own experience of attending to people and movement.

Video and captions: vimeo.com/1004456493

A screengrab of one frame of Lulu singing "Boom Bang-a-Boom", with face-like features marked in pink and areas of high visual change marked in cyan. In this frame Lulu is looking towards the camera and dominating the frame. Occasionally the pink and cyan outlines coincide, but more often there is a great deal of visual change that is not near or related to faces.

In this frame there is a great deal of peripheral movement, particularly a flower pattern on the hem of Lulu's dress. Occasionally the pink and cyan outlines coincide, but more often there is a great deal of visual change that is not near or related to faces.

Metal organ pipes and other set details dominate the movement in the frame, potentially distracting from the viewer. Occasionally the pink and cyan outlines coincide, but more often there is a great deal of visual change that is not near or related to faces.

The balcony of the auditorium is full of faces and bright lights, both attracting attention.
