Anton Seder’s The Animal in Decorative Art (1896) — an Art Nouveau reference book full of elaborate ornamentation: winged dragons, chiseled hieroglyphs, warring sea creatures, and more... https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/das-thier-in-der-decorativen-kunst/

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

With ADHD, instead of building routines, everything stays a conscious effort for me.

Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

Was instinctively driven to draw a goddess ordering pizza and wings on doordash. It needed to exist

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

happy #hades2 day 🌕

✦ Nox Crestfall (OC|2025) ✦ New D&D Character for our current campaign! My first character, his brother Lux, retired after some very turbulent times and trauma. Nox is an eldritch knight and already lost his left arm in the third session😂 #art #oc #ocsky #originalcharacter #d&d #dungeonsanddragons

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall. Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

Already reposted but for those who may see this thread outside of that, here ya go

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

If you see this, post something pink! 🌸 I drew this a few years ago for a spring themed drawing event at my department at uni :) There are pink cherry blossoms in my town, too 🌸 #digitalart #procreate

Sketch of Devoir, showing off his tiny waist, for some reason 💃

posting extremely banned highly illegal depictions of non-consent on bluesky dot app

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.

Let’s reach the stars together ✨

DO YOU REMEMBER

Also, people did not stop posting porn on tumblr after the ban. They stopped tagging. You can take fire and gasoline to a site and porn will still be there, now just out there without any protections that used to make it safe to navigate

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

"Consent" is such a loaded term that it can immediately reframe "discomfort" into "harm"; in a time when trans women get pedojacketed over the stupidest shit & any person of color can be dehumanized over being labeled "degenerates" and "perverts". We need people to Get a grip

Normally I wouldn't post these sketches AT ALL - they're way too rough and unfinished BUT-- I'm feeling spiteful because of the new TOS and #bskycensorship So here, have some OCs canoodling CONSENSUALLY I guess, they told me so themselves 🙄 #nsfwart #ocsky

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Don't you just wanna go apeshit

This is an illustration drawn for the owner of those cute little finches! It's so amazing that their chirping sounds like a cat meowing owo✨ #illustration #digitalart #artwork #originalart #bird #birdart #pet #animalart #cute #commission

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

Definitely NOT participating in any sort of blackout - going silent for a while when they want to silence artistic freedom anyway seems like we would just comply and do what they want. Nope.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

✦ Legs up (OC|2025) ✦ I promised more suggestive stuff, here it is~! (Spot the bitemark heh) #artsky #oc #ocsky #originalcharacter #nsfw

I asked all my very fake super fictional and overall not real characters and they said they super duper consent to all the weird shit that happens to them.

They're just lil guys! 🐇🌿

another fine day of sexualizing that old man

I mean if even the most milquetoast, bland, inoffensive things can get censored…you might as well be bold and make something brutally honest and weird. What’s the point in compromising, they aren’t happy with compromises either. Just make some weird shit.

by the way, some studios accept funding from the military branch of our government, which those officials exchange for creative control in resulting films, and i strongly believe that this practice a harmful practice. funding for the arts should be unconditional because otherwise it is propaganda.
