A show so good that 10-year old boys can enjoy it and several 20+ year old women can become completely obsessed with it
I love this show because it goes hard in every department for no reason and it's just!! so great!! It has slowly infected my friend group and I couldn't be more pleased
Reunited with some of my good friends at Lightbox last week and had a wonderful time <3
for my birthday I would love it if you let us pause videos
Answer: Hi, @pinkopalina!
Good news! You can, as it happens, pause them by long pressing the lightbox in mobile apps. On web, normal video controls are available.
On Android, you can tap on the video in the lightbox to show or hide normal video controls, too. This is not the case for iOS, however: sadly, normal video controls are not available there at this time.
As and when we take a look at this in the future, you’ll catch the news here at WIP or at @changes. Hopefully before too long.
so we all hate this mobile update right? we hate the stupid little tiktok-looking screen that comes up when you click an image that doesn't let you zoom in? (they're calling it the "lightbox feature" and there is no toggle in the settings to turn it off)
if you hate it as much as i do turn your anger into direct action and on MONDAY send an ask to @wip telling them how much you don't like the new lightbox feature. the more immediate, coordinated response they get, the more likely we are to get our zooming privileges restored.
A couple months ago, I submitted an entry to the Waterhouse Natural Sciences Art Prize, a pretty fancy art contest hosted by the South Australian Museum. This was the piece I submitted, a papercraft lightbox entitled “An Outback of Ice and Sea”, and it’s taken a good month of my life getting it all together!
And I am very excited to announce that I have been selected as a finalist! Any of y’all who are in South Australia, you’ll be able to come and see my work (and a whole bunch of others’) on display at the SA Museum from the 4th of June to the 7th of August!
This piece is a scientific recreation of the Bulldog Shale formation, an opal-rich fossil locality in the desert of my home state of South Australia. 110 million years ago, this place wasn’t a desert, but an icy inland sea near the South Pole that was brimming with life! Every animal species in this artwork is based on fossil evidence from the region, down to the crinoids and brittle stars and bivalves!
The star of the piece is Umoonasaurus demoscyllus, a small plesiosaur with crests on its head that was local to this area. The Umoonasaurus is pursuing Ptyktoptychion eyrensis, a giant relative of modern-day ratfish while belemnites and ammonites bod in and out of the seaweed. And overhead amongst the icebergs, the giant pliosaur Kronosaurus queenslandicus looms.
I’m so proud of this piece as something that I’ve poured hours of love and research into, and I’m so thrilled to have been selected to be a part of this exhibition! The details on the museum website are here if anyone’s curious, please do let me know if you got a chance to see the exhibition in person!
Here is my second lightbox created for a friend, this time inspired by Vanitas no carte. I love how it came out and I hope to be able to create more inspired by other fandoms in the future! 💖
gonna be at lightbox today! if you see someone with tamagotchi stuff, that’s me; feel free to say hi and get a business card and freebie fox stickers 🌙✨!
