AO3 is back up!

@tnmnttiles.bsky.social this is in my own building. The rest of the hallway is decrepit and horrible but this part has lovely tile.

AO3 is down for maintenance.

And being an old person who doesn’t suck means being willing to throw out frameworks you once embraced, and being willing to consider that ideas that seem radical are very reasonable, actually — like, a constant process of reevaluating and challenging your own assumptions and actions

Animation is difficult and I hate it but sometimes I kinda like it? Idk I'll never do full length ones but I would love to make a habit of short art gifs

Book cover artists, QRP with your cover art! #illustration #bookcover #bookart #art Tbh, I'd love to take another stab at these, I made these years and years ago and I've come a long way art-wise. I still like them though.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

Autumn is here ! 🍁🍂 #pokemon

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

Post a female character you love Take a chance on Sara Lance!

Just to be clear, Charlie Kirk was a racist piece of shit, Israel is committing genocide in Occupied Palestine, and trans rights are human rights, and if a million people file ARDC complaints against me or send me death threats I will never recant any of those things.

“The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident” Every day this line feels more and more relevant.

Post a movie you love with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. My friend likes to call this 'the last 90s movie.' It was released in the early 2000s.

There was no Animal Crossing Sad I could say more but that was the only thing I was hoping for in the Direct

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

It's #deafawarenessmonth I'm Deaf, hard-of-hearing since birth. I have had hearing aids since I was five years old. It's very much who I am and those who know me know I don't tiptoe around it. I enjoy being deaf. On my days off, I do not put my hearing aids until afternoon. It's peaceful.

Your occasional reminder that the positive effects of UBI have been tested and validated hundreds of times more often than the murderous Musk robotaxis or LLM’s we’re rushing to put into our schools and streets.

Just watched/listened to Lonely Magic album by Rebecca Sugar (animated by @jellybox.bsky.social who did wonderfully!) I love the angels so I did a sketch of Epiphany

Crafty weekend- embroidered a little guy on some jeans

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? Legends of Tomorrow, let's goooooooo! I wanna ride the Waverider

This woman is a demon and deserves every bit of criticism she gets. She has turned her vast wealth against one of the most vulnerable communities on the planet and Bsky is silencing their extremely valid anger.

A concrete thing every UK person who cares about trans rights can do right now: 1. Email a link of this report to your MP, with highlights from the executive summary in your email. Ask them what it means for your constituency and their party - highlight trans people's legally mandated human rights

When I'm at work, constantly listening to voicemails and upset customers, I doodle in Paint MS. My body might be trapped but my mind is free. #art

GenAI is not inevitable and not everybody is using it, those are lies. It isn’t just creatives who hate it, my partner works in tech industry and so do many of our friends and they all hate AI too!

2,005 signatures gets this a government response (ah ha ha to make a hollow laughing, but it'd be worth people then writing to their MPs off the back of that response given Grainger (v) r.e. protected beliefs explicitly says they must '[...] not conflict with the fundamental rights of others')

Miles never been more correct than here

Okay, highlight of today! Circa Wolf was AMAZING! These acrobats were SO GOOD! The choreography was great, the vibe was great, I loved it. Highly recommend! #fringe

The second play I saw today was Nocturne. Norwegian folklore musical. It would've been better if it was twice as long, had more puppet budget, and did not mic the actors Mics for stage musicals suck That said, it was cute and the songs were cute and the little puppetry there was was good

Saw my first play of the day: sad but very good It's a lovely but hot day for Fringe, next up is Norwegian folklore musical!

I missed International Cat Day but here she is anyway My Baby:

I do commissions if someone else also wants a new pfp :)

Bluesky can absolutely fuck off. I also wish ill on J K Rowling.

Because I can't read at my desk when I'm in the office, there's a lot of times where I'm just waiting for someone to answer the phone and listening to voicemails. Just staring at the computer screen. So I get sucked into daydreams. Which is great for writing but then I make weird faces at work.

i fight the War Against Artists on the side of Artists by relentlessly bullying friends with ai pfps to commission a pfp. bullying CAN be morally good

I haven't yapped on here in a bit. Going to the office has been draining all my after work energy. A positive note, I'm going to Fringe festival next week and I'm super excited! Loooooove theatre
