A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    MMD, on the basic QWERTY keyboard fingering style, the thumbs would normally just hit the space bar. This is very clever. I like it.

    Yeha I read it backwards at first too, but its meant to be where your fingers sit on the keyboard. Left index on the J, little finger on the ; etc. I like it, made me think.

    Hey! That’s me!!! Thanks for the nod–and thanks Smail for cueing me in to it.

    Actually, on my thumbs I have dots which, those of you who write with invisible characters turned on will get.
