creators share 90% of their work for free, so what ends up for sale is a small fraction to gather income and support. treating creators like they aren't already sharing freely riles me up. also: libraries exist, you can read books for free without stealing while supporting authors at the same time

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.

Trying to tether myself back to reality and just had a mental flashbang memory of my mom needing to put a con vendor in his place because he was trying to flirt with me about wearing collars while I was underage. It didn't help bring me back but damn his face was funny when he panicked.

I don't like talking about American politics because we're often told it's complex, nuanced stuff and it's not. American politics is stupid and our policies are largely driven by morons, rudimentary power is often all the understand and so everything defaults to this. What's even left to discuss?

I hope everyone can remember your art is more than the numbers it gets. The internet is not as kind to art as it was a decade ago. I hope everyone can keep creating even if it's just for themselves.

Casual reminder that my comms are open😙♥️

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast. This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

happy pride month!

Feeling kind of dumb and daydreaming about making stories and comics again. . there's still so much I have to do.

.:Scared of my own image, scared of my own immaturity Scared of my own ceilin', scared I'll die of uncertainty Don’t know what’s inside of me:.

Recent Lorcana pieces have been feelin good to me- it's always such a boost to get to work on characters you're excited about

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Set me free.

What if I just use bluesky to post whatever the fuck I want and not be afraid? I will have regrets I'm sure.

Frankenstein but it’s wlw

This is so close to done but I keep stalling on the last parts, brain get it together 🫠 #wyllravengard #wip

got my ballot in!!!! Your turn!!!

Women started fandom. Women started fanfic. Women started star Trek cons. Women invented beer, and the novel, while we're at it. Stop trying to erase women from spaces, you stupid, lazy, misogynistic fucks.

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

God I wish that were us

"Constant layoffs despite the execs lining their pockets with bonuses every quarter, how can we fix the industry?"

I refuse to admit I'm old usually because I get frustrated with people younger than me lamenting approaching age milestones (not to discredit genuine anxieties btw Ik they exist) but good lord every time a new buzz word comes out for memes, fandom or OCs I get cranky. Might be getting old lmao.

so if the country dissolves, that means we dont have to pay our student loans anymore right?

Gonna post this here and pretend it's my Halloween post for the year 🩷🩷🩷 Ophelia as a succubus/vampire inspired by Morrigan Aensland, Drolta Tzuentes and the disgaea games #pocartist #fiwork #tiefling #bg3tav

Finish him

Being a female POC artist in fandom spaces with colored OCs continues to be a walk through rose bushes and boy howdy these scratches get deeper and nastier every time. 🥀

About some good environmental news for today??

i just make sure my colors are print-friendly first and foremost and treat screens as interestingly applied photo filters

You go into a store to buy a 2-litre bottle of milk at the supermarket and pay $3. But the person in front of you in line paid $3.50. And the person behind you paid $2. Surveillance pricing is the practice of monitoring consumer data to charge you the most they think you will be willing to pay.

There's nothing more disappointing than being proven right. Pattern recognition is a blessing and a curse.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies. Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

It's fine, I'll do it myself because I love her 💗 #ArlowArts #Ochako #BNHA

Hey, as a heads up for NSFW peeps in the US, US President administration just made a shitton of BlueSky accounts. I would highhhhly recommend subbing to this blocklist so they don't show up on any algorithm feeds (and so they can't see your shit) bsky.app/profile/eva....

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Did a photo study and made it Scout Harding because we all need to appreciate her more thanks [ #jasperdraws #veilguard #laceharding #artstudy ]

Don’t make me tap the sign.
