Rule 34: “If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.”

I was making this sign for a book cover (where it’d appear on the wall as a framed print), then thought: why stop there?

Back when I worked at a backbone ISP, the first day HR training session was interesting.

“If you object to adult material, please do not walk through the art department. We make 2/3 of our revenue from adult content.”

Maybe you like the weird stuff. Maybe it just makes you hilariously happy that the weird stuff exists because then you’re something approaching normal. Maybe you just need a new shirt and randomly clicked on this page.

Whatever freak flag you fly (or, you know, don’t fly :wink:), Rule 34 is there for you.

I have various products now available on Redbubble, Society6, and Zazzle.

In addition to the clothing options on all three of the above stores, the design’s also available in a bunch of other formats, including:

Decade wrap up:

1) Changed fields and am now where I want to be work-wise.
2) Finished both my MA (Popular Fiction) and my MS (Computer Science).
3) Moved to Menlo Park.
4) Got married for the second time.
5) Went to Clarion and Viable Paradise.
6) Turned my health around a lot, though it needs more work.
7) Sold my first fiction under my own name (as opposed to the work-for-hire fiction I did in the 90s and non-fiction work). Then resold the same piece. Submitted twice, sold twice.
8) Saw the last daily aspect of my first marriage -- Scruffy the cat -- fade away and die. At that point, it really felt like my first husband was truly dead in a way it hadn't before. (His three sons are still very much alive and I'm in contact with them, but my contact with them wasn't daily like it was with the four cats we had.)
9) Traveled. New countries visited (per the Travelers' Century Club list, which is quite permissive): Greece, Egypt, Turkey (Asia), Turkey (Europe), Crete, Corfu, Denmark, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, New Zealand, Australia. This means two new continents for me as well: Australia and Africa.

Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't:

1) Worked as a contractor (albeit briefly) on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth II. Sadly, my contract firm lost the contract to another company, so I had to get off at Barbados.
2) Walked from the Plaka district of Athens up to and completely around the Acropolis, then walked back. (I know rinolj also did this.)
3) Recovered from workshop-itis: Odyssey, Clarion, and Viable Paradise twice, plus grad school. I dropped out of my MFA program because I realized that I'd been saturated with workshops and what I really needed was different.
4) Wrote porn for pay.
5) Went snorkeling in a bay while the bay's island was being shelled by the military. (San Clemente Island, California)
6) Have dived in a passenger submarine. More than once.
7) Walked through the caliche forest on San Miguel Island.
8) Have skiied a mogul field of moguls taller than I was at the time.
9) Joined -- and left -- a cult.
10) Have taken a train across the US (Vermont to Southern California). Have also taken a passenger train through Wyoming, where Amtrak doesn't usually travel.

Bah, can't stop at ten:

11) Hand-fed sting rays in the Caribbean. (They are like little puppies, they will rub up against you for food.)
12) Rode an Olympic medal-winning horse. Not while he won the medal, sadly.
13) Stood inside Newgrange.
14) When Rick proposed to me in Esperanto, I answered in a language that had no words for yes or no (Irish Gaelic, fwiw).
( And I very much hope this one never applies to you )

If you're color blind, this will only frustrate you, but even if you're not, it may stump you. Lower numbers are better, and I'm in the top 16% of color acuity with a score of 7. Ironically, my worst color acuity is in the range of my favorite colors (blue-greens), but that may be a function of the light I have on right now.

Here's the test.

Islamic art and architecture is one of my favorites, but I'm surprised I scored so low on Renaissance an so high on east Asian art.
