This sounds like a thing I might want to check out.

For how this will go, please pour one out for the following that all filed for bankruptcy under private quity: Big Lots Brookstone Hooters Joann Party City Kmart Sears Toys R Us Payless TGI Fridays Claire's etc, etc, etc

I need to raise $850 today to keep my home. I’ve nowhere else to go and I’m just trying to stay housed. I’m really scared, yall. Please help if you can. Spread the word and everything, I’m begging. It isn’t safe out there. PP: www.paypal.me/briggsycakes Cash App: $briggsycakes

Republicans created a healthcare crisis by kicking millions off their insurance and causing millions more to face higher premiums. Now, they'd rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to address the harm they caused. Our communities deserve better.

I don't talk about sex a ton on my page but the internet is becoming too prudish for my tastes and I don't want to contribute. This is also connected to a lot of my thoughts on patriarchy. Perfect example of what I talk about when I say patriarchy teaches men to use women to keep score.

Honestly the narrowness of the actual loss margin and the degree to which the intertwined elements of racism and misogyny were a part of it does lead to the question of 'just how good of an idea *was* it to spend a month screaming and howling about Biden rather than actually facing MAGA.'

This is also a difficult thing for me. Magic is the thing that set me on my career path as an illustrator. My college ex and I would spend hours pouring over the Magic site talking about how the artists did what they did and dreaming of working for WoTC.

common bobincheese W take the game has metamorphosed into something significantly distant from the things that made me fall in love with it. it has changed into something MUCH more successful, and wayyy more new people are finding the love I've lost, but I'm allowed to feel a type of way about it

We have a patron with a pretty high seated wheelchair who asked for accommodations awhile back to raise the keyboards at one of our computers. We didn't have anything specifically for that so I cobbled something together. I told my boss and she immediately went looking for something...

This is correct and imo one of the really dangerous things about authoritarianism. I've said this before but I this tendency in stories to fixate on the good an evil character does to say "well they can't be all bad" is the wrong lesson. The moral should be one good deed does not absolve evil.

Alt text added. I think that means we as people who see the reality before us are going to have to actively teach a new way to discuss this movement and a new way to hammer that out. Then we'll need to do it, test the results and refine it. And repeat the process again and again.

In #Ha-Nahn demons have a pervasive aura of fear that can suppress story magic. Equally so, however, is that story magic is especially potent against demons. If you can push back the fear the right story is a weapon against even the worst of them.

In light of everything going on I couldn't help but think of this. "One of the great powers of a demon is fear. Their wrongness constricts the heart and clouds the mind. They want to make you believe fighting them is useless. Know if it were true they wouldn't try so hard to make you believe it."

listen I am NOT a military security expert but I HAVE seen “Star Trek: Into Darkness” fourteen times aren’t there generally, like. pretty good reasons. why you avoid bringing in all your biggest military leaders from all over the world and then announcing exactly what building they’ll be in when

If there is a shutdown it is imperative to remember it's the fault of the republicans.

Aaron did a great job, love the pose, and was great to work with. It is always a pleasure to see the creativity of artists pulling from simple words/descriptions to draw forth a character or scene!

Thanks to @greatmoustache.bsky.social for picking up a commission of this gun toting mountain troll.

Gotta say I kind of agree with this. I've been thinking about this dynamic for years and while I definitely don't feel like the Democrats are above critique... it really does feel like this a lot.

This is also why, btw, i think that "touch the stove" type stuff comes from a place of exasperation at this deeply broken dynamic. That maybe instead of Ds constantly rescuing everyone, R voters need to experience the consequence of the R policies they vote for in order to to break this cycle.

Lorwyn was the world I went to when my spark first ignited (it was the set out when I first got into the game and this is how I frame that). Yeah... this set feels like coming home.

Encouraged by @devenrue.com some years ago I started to create a world hopping cartographer NPC of my own inspired by her tiefling Rue. Today I present Yendar the Cartographer. I already love him! And there's a few fun easter eggs on this guy I adore. he's been to I think all of my worlds.

You want skill? You want creativity? You want speed? Ya'll need to check out Dakota's work. I'm good but it's in part because I spend a *lot* of time in discords with this guy and he is so much faster than me! Very worth your commission!

As an artist I often feel I'm not doing enough to try to help fight what's going on. I hate it. Then I remember my day job literally has me on the front lines of a lot of rightwing smear attacks and puts me in a position to help with a lot of causes I care about. I'm literally a public servant...

Random DnD thought since I finished a commission and I'm going to go to bed early about it. You know how Monks in DnD can use strength or dexterity? I think Bards should be able to use Int or Cha as their primary stat *and* for some of the classic cha skills to reflect different styles.

Getting ready for a new Patreon post tomorrow. It'll be this month's sketchbook post but here's last month's.

I'm sorry if asking for help is bothersome, but I seriously need to make this goal in 5 days, else I risk going hundreds of dollars into the negatives to cover my bills. 🪴 ko-fi.com/therosecleric

Thank you to all the folks who chose knowledge as my divine domain with this question. Clearly I have a brand on here and I like it!

Basically, as long as they can keep one district gerrymandered reliably deep red, the MO GOP can kill popular democracy in their state. A metaphor for the entire country - rigged minority rule. (with some help by some bad antiquated design in the original superstructure)

I need to ask a silly question. If you were going to make me into a fantasy deity what divine domain(s) would you give me?

BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING LYNCHED TRANS PEOPLE ARE DYING RAPIDLY SUDAN IS BEING ASSAULTED AND STARVED CONGO IS BEING ENSLAVED AND STARVED WHAT ARE WE DOING

But like. People are treating him like the messiah and DOUBLING DOWN on the CK compassion jerk-off BECAUSE of that whack ass apology. I’m just. TREY REED. ICE IS STILL ILLEGALLY DETAINING BROWN AND ASIAN PEOPLE AND DETAINEES WERE INJURED AND KILLED TODAY PALESTINE IS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE

AITA because I don’t give a fuck about Jimmy Kimmel’s backpedaling apology? After getting hired back on by Disney, not even because they genuinely wanted him back but because they lost ✨astronomical amounts of money✨. Of course, it was headassery how he got fired for what he said—

Artist! Quote with your red art! ❤️

Did you know I do maps as well as my other illustration stuff? It's true! I've done maps for @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social, the Wagadu Chronicles and @sandypuggames.bsky.social among others.

Eh, why not. Artists, post your hot men art!

Want to help an artist out as he tries to survive the current clusterfuck and make a name for himself? Consider joining the patreon!

FULL AGREE just adding alt text !

I really tried to avoid this, but I'm in need of help. I'm a year and a half out of full time work, and my retail gig alone can't keep me afloat. My October expenses are going to be much higher than normal. I'm offering sketch comms over on my ko-fi for donations. thank you ko-fi.com/hanoodles

Hannah is a fellow Michigander who made the difficult leap out to LA to break into animation! Well animation is now breaking Hannah and many others including myself. Consider commissioning a piece of art in her charming style! ✨

𝑷𝒚𝒓𝒂 🔥👹 #art #commission

I'm Aaron, a freelance illustrator still trying to make more of a name for myself. Thanks for putting this out there, Whatevertron! #Artistvart

This "Black AI image boosters"🆚️"Black traditional artists" thing sucks. Cuz like ofc genAI/LLMs/etc offer frictionless solutions to accessorize your business/hobby. But when design *IS* yer business/hobby, seeing yer own ppl preferring the option that conceptually devalues yer skills? it hurts.

I feel really unseen currently. I don't know if folks see my posts, but I'm disabled, I don't make enough with my current job to survive, and my situation is becoming more dangerous in the current climate. I'm doing everything I can, but I cannot survive without help. 💠 ko-fi.com/therosecleric

Folks in other countries keep asking why they don't see us in the streets. I'm here to gently inform you, that's a matter of what you're shown, not what's happening. The pro tests have never stopped. If you're not USian, you can still help spread the word: October 18th is the next big one. #NoKings

SIX DOLLARS these people offered my friend SIX DOLLARS to use one of his pieces for their magazine cover art 😭 Their previous covers of the aptly named “Peasant Magazine” are obviously AI (as pointed out to Aaron) as well 🤨 I don’t think I’ve been more insulted on behalf of anyone this much ever

I find this interesting and adds some credence to a hypothesis I've had for awhile now. If I were running for something the message I might try is "I don't want to refocus the police. Let them focus on real crime like murders and rapes and get them out of the mental health business for example."

Let's do a #Blacksky #Artistvart to make Black artists on Bluesky and Blacksky more visible! I'll go first: I'm an editorial illustrator of 11+ years, and on here you can call me Whatevertron! DM for contact details if interested!

So this idea sort of comes up in the urban fantasy world I've been kicking around in my head since I was like 13. For centuries vampire society was dominated by European patriarchs but after a brutal vampire civil war the new leadership is very different and trying to restructure.

The other day I ended up getting into a conversation that I knew was sketch but I almost second guessed myself. Thank goodness I have friends I can run stuff by too. Cause woo boy was this bad. The language in the comments was a bit weird but I wrote it off at first.
