Stimming Jim

Yes, the nonviolence system is broken. How are we going to fix it?

I made this animation of my Stimming Jim "SJ" logo, forming from spinning motion blurs, first the "SJ" initials, then the broken-heart symbol, and "STIMMING JIM" fading in underneath afterwards. Tools used include: Inkscape Kdenlive ntsc-rs

  Description: on a black background, is a blue uppercase "SJ" with a red broken heart lodged between the two letters, with uppercase "STIMMING JIM" text in white underneath. The logo is rotated to be at an angle. I made this graphic, featuring my "broken heart SJ" emblem and full "STIMMING JIM" name using a handful of tools, including: Inkscape Kdenlive (to make a video clip of the slide graphic exported from Inkscape) ntsc-rs (for videotape effect) VLC media player (to take screenshot of ntsc-rs-processed video) About the lettering style: The lettering style for "STIMMING JIM" on what I made here, is derived from a lettering style that was used by a supermarket chain called Weis Markets starting in 1948 (and was discontinued around the mid-1990s): The lettering that Weis Markets used starting in 1948, and continuing in some form or another until the mid-1990s Source

*The following is a tongue-in-cheek post* Go ahead. Take the spoons you and your people need ... from your OPPRESSORS! Take up to 75% of their spoons. Every day. Convert them for your own use, and that of your own people! Refuse to be ashamed. Understand why you're taking, and converting, your oppressors' spoons to your and your people's spoons: they steal your and your people's spoons all the freaking time! They do this by dysregulating you, misdirecting you, gaslighting you, mistreating you, and by depriving you of fulfillment of your own human needs (ditto for your people). So, don't take it anymore! Start stealing & converting your oppressors' spoons right now! Further Reading: Spoon theory: Wikipedia | Stimpunks Steal something from work day  (another inspiration for this post)
