"engagement is low on Bsky" for the millionth time. Then engage. SHARE posts. TALK to people. Do literally ANYTHING but "Like and Go". Bsky is not dead, it's just free of Algorithms and that means YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING if you want engagement!

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail." People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"

Last week I shared that I’m hiring a junior designer, but, also, our trade art department as a whole has a total of 5 open roles right now. All new seats, not from turnover. 💙❤️ scholastic.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/External

something about the "big artist" thing no one asks is whether or not we even wanted this. lemme tell ya, if I could make art and a living from a cave y'all would never see me again. i hate that social media has become this and i hate having to think about my art (and myself) in terms of algorithm

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

I really wanted to hold off on opening preorders until after LVFC but I am in desperate need of funds rn. These will take a while for me to get done but I am now open for preorders on my large planters as well as a few other small things. Boosts are greatly appreciated 🙏💜 🛒 VerdantSculpts.com

Sorry to be a bit of a Slowpoke but here's something I wanted to cook up for Pokemon's 30th! Happy Belated Pokemon Day! #PokemonDay #CombotronArt

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news. I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in. Please DO NOT send hate to anyone! If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

Incredibly shit news about and from the creator of the "Chikn Nuggit" cartoon shorts; they're quitting the series, and Buzzfeed, due to forced AI integration. They're on Bluesky as @kyrakupetsky.bsky.social. Please follow them to stay up-to-date on their new projects.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

biggest upside as an artist leaving twitter is not having to constantly justify every decision I make as an artist who makes money on the internet via the same 5 discourses that return each week like the world's most tedious boomerang

rent is being increased $200/mo on our apartment that has leaked for the last 5 years and there is nowhere cheaper without living in a dumpster, always something trying to take the wind out of my sails 😭😭

anyone who's had the courage to draw something badly at least once has more interesting things to say than any ai bro will have to say in their entire lives

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

Happy drop day everyone! Still time to check the catalog for all the goodies going live in about 1.5 hours 🕺

I get asked at least once a month when zipper pull charms will come back and guess what-- you can go buy the orange one right now from Dual Wield Studio and support a good cause! 🙌🙌 [ #cuteart #artshop ]

a little warrior cats, as a treat

My acrylic keychains came in time for Katsucon! Wahoo! We are in the dealers hall at J3. I will have them in the shop soon, too. Thanks for being so kind and so supportive.

this discord stuff continues to make the internet at large feel so bleak. i'm tired and in my thirties and we're just expected to rebuild all we've worked for from scratch every 2 years. nothing is safe from surveillance or enshittification or corporate greed.

The data center cowards have withdrawn their proposal from my local publicly attended council meeting to now instead only show their proposal to the council behind closed doors away from the public backlash. Why is this allowed? Is there anything that can be done now to help protect the community?
