(solemnly) You've had mail.

Here's how today's painting—with the briefest nudity—was self-labeled before posting (1) 🎨 And here's how Bluesky warned viewers of sexual content (2) 🫠 NUDITY IS NOT INHERENTLY SEXUAL! Clearly this platform cannot distinguish sensitive content. Nor should it. WTF @moderation.bsky.app

So am I the only one who can't upload images anymore from their phone directly? Maybe bluesky could work on that instead of pretending to care by gatekeepers the depressed and suicidal, just a thought.

A bit of history of the infamous event called “Inktober” (thread of events ahoy! Plus a bit of a #PSA ):

Did some acrylic #painting on patches practice today, some #Destiny2 #Saint14 #fanart bs, which is cause I am gonna do a Destiny jacket soon to put up for sales. #Jacket is already dyed I just need to finish planning it out before I get going, just wanted to shake the rust off first.

Jesus Houdini Christ, this is great.

hey mods do you need me to get this imaginary tree stump's explicit consent to draw it and post it on your platform or what. what do i do here. i'm the one who made it exist but how do i get its permission to your exact standards

Land has done just as much damage to artist integrity as Liefeld

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

Got April's rows done for my #moodblanket and I promise theres two different colored greens there ;u; not just one solid swath of waterfall. I'll start the #crochet on May tomorrow since I'm not working my taxable job. 🧶

Me!

@patstaresat.bsky.social 's new facial hair, Disco aside, makes me think he'd fit right in in Red Dead

i always want to be drawing, i'm never drawing enough, and sometimes when i GET to draw i just dont have the juice, and then i feel like im a piece of shit, oh goooddddd

I think my new favorite word is gonna be classholes

oh ai is a fascist tool, that’s why it’s been shoved in our face and funded like the military. limit and destroy legitimate creative expression while making them think they actually are creative, clever if it wasn’t consistent dogshit that people with intelligence find physically repulsive maybe

Please spread this information people, don't let Pay Pal dox you.

I was gonna work on the blanket today between chores but three rows in June had other plans I guess.🧶

They’re gonna turn people over to ICE. Just don’t use their trash at all. It’s bad for your brain and they’re an evil company.

some @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social fan art from last year. Champ Kindly. #fantasy #tolubart #undead #pathfinder #paizo #glasscannonnetwork #gcn

Being so serious when I say Sam Altman should be found guilty and sentenced to prison for facilitating in the suicide of a minor. As well as everyone in OpenAI who actively made the calls to deem these "acceptable low stakes". That's a real human. Real life. And a real death. Fuck you, OpenAI.

I encourage you to listen to the entirety of today's historic speech by Gov Pritzker. Sober words here as he calls out the press for failure to sound the alarm as we free fall into dictatorship. youtu.be/qliVj3YMN-8?...

Time to start on April's crochet pa--

Catching up on the #crochet mood blanket. I HAVE been writing down the colors for each day still but when I got super sick a few months back I just kinda couldn't get back into it. Anyways, now I am, and I just finished March up. Look at that green block of flu...don't ask about the purple... 🧶

My school is rolling out AI reading programs. It uses the children’s voices as they read to train the AI. I asked if parents can opt out of this company using their children’s unpaid voices for their for-profit product. Nobody had an answer. Push back. Don’t let children give more free data to AI.

Imporant ICE tip.

Omg this looks sick. I'd go places so much more if we replaced cars with bikes (Queue angry driver giving me 100000000 reasons why nothing can ever change)

my daughter came home from her first day of 10th grade and said that her history teacher told her that if she refuses to use AI for assignments, she has to cite her sources. i asked how she’d cite it if she used AI, and she said, that’s not required. i’m still internally fuming up about this.

I should add that for the first time in a while the VISA rep was very candid with me. She said that they keep bringing this up to the managers and asking for help/instructions but aren't getting anything from higher-up. So as a reminder: DO NOT BE A DICK TO THE REPS!!!!

I recently inherited an old 1981 card game called Dragonmaster that features superb art by Bob Pepper (1938-2019). High quality scans of the deck below. Not sci-fi but seems like an artist @70sscifiart.bsky.social might know more about? #dragonmaster #cardgame #bobpepper

In the waiting room of an eye clinic they have a lovely AI screensaver . If only there was pictures of real nature to use… alas … it’s impossible

No art cause dehoarding the house, we beat the shit out of a bar room and about 9 office chairs with many tools, big fun, and now I have more functional space. Still getting over covid too. Better no art from dehoarding than depression.

it’s monday

If dudes are lonely, here are some suggestions: Get a pen and piece of paper, or maybe some modeling clay, or maybe a computer with a drawing or modeling program Make up some little guys- as many as you like! See what they do! That's it. That's the suggestion.

Life is all about having a good soup, enjoying good company, and dedicating your heart and soul to the glorious communist revolution.

Rest in peace, legend Ozzy. My biggest musical hero. Thank you for everything.

Home from cat sitting for a week. And with much less covid. Time to be productive tomorrow morning while my depression has been shoved aside.
