These creatures are made with an IFS which transform one arc into several connected arcs (specifically 1/6 of circumference, which gives more possibilities than other fractions). I show the results of just two iterations for several decompositions, more produces less aesthetic outcomes, and even more the result is indistinguishable from usual fractals. In this post the shapes are derived from a full circumference, next post will include other outcomes derived from other initial shapes (composed by sixths of circumferences).

📖 Just finished "The Body Keeps The Score." Not casual reading—it’s dense, clinical, and packed with insight—but I incorporated a format-switch between physical book and audiobook. It dives deep into how trauma reshapes the brain and nervous system, affecting how we feel, move, and relate. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about retraining the body with EMDR, neurofeedback, movement, and even #IFS.

📖 Tried to borrow "No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz, but it was waitlisted everywhere—locally & even in Chicago’s library system. I gave in & bought the ebook.

The book introduces #IFS (Internal Family Systems), where we all have “Parts” inside us led by a calm, compassionate “Self.” It’s a popular model, but I didn’t connect with it. My perfectionism isn’t a “Part” I can reason with—it’s just… me.

There is nothing radical about Austerity, we've been living under it for a generation now, but still the Oligarchs want more, and this cunt here 'Paul Johnson' can barely contain his glee at all the misery amongst lesser beings he wants to see.

You're not a good person Paul.

There are a quite a lot of weather companies and even national weather services around the world that depend on the freely and reliably available global model data from the US NWS.

There is now a real risk that this access will be shut off or made unaffordable.

I really do hope that @ECMWF is thinking about this and considering to finally make their model data freely available for at least non-member state weather services - in particular in the global south.

IMO the model data in full should be free for everyone (like the US data has been for decades) since it is tax payer funded and would allow weather companies around the world to run their own models and innovate products and services.

I've always found it ironic that the US is so much more generous with their data than the "socialist" Europeans are.
