Paper quilling is one of my favorite mediums for #AIArtworks & #midjourney. We should always acknowledge the REAL world heroes of this medium (Brodskaya, Runa, and Neli Quilling) but here are some of my own creations. FIRST, I reversed @chetbff's waterfall into this lava flow. ;)
This beauty is mesmerizing but you can see how you might be able to create this in real life.
Maybe we could recreate famous movie scenes?
Seascapes. I took this prompt from someone else in my thread and modified it... I can't remember who?
how about we combine paper quilling with shadow art!
Or sand elements combined onto the paper.
Melted crayon and paper quilling
Here's a carnival of wonder!
Isometric zen garden
Glass art and paper quilling
It'sa me! Mario!
Endless possibilities.

1/🧵 Welcome to the Hall of Woke! The San Diego science museum opened its doors for December Nights and we took all the kids for the lights, food and fun. While the girls were using the restroom I was waiting in what appears to be the Hall of Woke - just outside.
Get ready for the ride.
The wall was emblazoned with rainbows and portraits declaring: New Science! “Queer and intersectional identities are revolutionizing how science gets done”
2/ The hallway, featured a dozen of the craziest most aggressive intersectionality “science people” ever assembled. They even had a queer Sikh with a rainbow Turban: “To me, science is personal. I bring my multifaceted identity into the lab, and it informs the work
I choose to do and the way in which I do it. I enjoy doing interdisciplinary work that combines different methods from neuropsychology and neuroimaging along with advanced quantitative approaches, and I think that this overall strategy comes from an understanding of individual people as layered.
My expression of queerness is influenced by my
Sikh values, which motivate me to be visible and work towards equity within science and beyond.”
3/ Then you come across the superhero known as shark-non-binary person! (They/Them pronouns on many posters). “Sharks and I share a similar story-we are both ambassadors of our own existence and we both fight against a dying world. As one of a handful of non-binary people of color in shark sciences, I continue to lead the way for diversity and inclusion in academia, not just out of passion, but survival.”
🧵As the Good Book says, "there is nothing new under the sun." The absurdity and chaos of the Covid pandemic was an echo. Let's go back 400 years to Milan, Italy where a REAL plague (THE plague) drove that city INSANE. 1/
In his 1827 novel I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed), Italian author Alessandro Manzoni writes about the difficult journey of two lovers affianced in 17the century Milan. The story is fiction but was thoroughly researched by Manzoni from original source journals. 2/
The fatality rate of the plague has been estimated between 30% and 60% but Manzoni points out that the more ruinous part of the disease was the fear! "The image of this supposed danger beset and tortured the minds of the people far more than the real and existing danger." 3/
The Judge in the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit dropped a bombshell of a document to add support to his preliminary injunction. LOTS of govt defendants. Here are the 25 instances cited where the White House tried to CENSOR Americans in collusion with social media companies.
1/ On Jan 23, 2021, the Digital Director for the COVID-19 Response Team contacted Twitter to remove an anti-vaccine tweet by @RobertKennedyJr. She asked for oversight on similar tweets.
2/ On Feb 6, 2021, the ex-Deputy Assistant to the President (Rob Flaherty) urged Twitter to suspend a parody account associated with President Biden’s granddaughter. Twitter acted swiftly, suspending the account in 45 minutes.
