Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

2026 creation goals 1.) feel the fear and do it anyway 2.) embrace the style of my soul 3.) be unashamed of my aesthetics 4.) let the desire to learn and grow eclipse perfectionism and procrastination 5.) foster community through shared expression 6.) let the universe refract through my eyes

5 min study from a Xu Beihong painting of horses. I still don't get it. Horses are difficult. #art

the liminal space of "before-morning" is when I do my best work once I acquiesced to the poking and prodding of my subconscious and moved my work hours to post-midnight, pre-"morning", my brain has run wild and my craft has markedly improved fun foundation to build upon!

2026🎠🎍

Friends, Penis, Money Sounds good to me lmao

inability to do anything despite my desire to do something my beloathed

Latching onto this because this philosophy applies to many things! Writing, painting, anything creative. Just do it, you'll be glad you did.

This post is the sign you’ve been waiting for to get into painting miniatures in 2026. Don’t worry about your skill level, or learning the lore, or having to play the game after - I promise you, you will thoroughly love the journey of simply painting a mini. It’s also so therapeutic. Do it :)

My version of "salt-acid-fat-heat": A knowledge of death, a lustful relationship to things that exists, conflict and curbed desire, irony, wit, something ephemeral, and second-something-ephemeral: hope. 1/

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

"You really made a 4 hour video?" No, I wrote a 7 hour video, then cut it down, and if you donate to our fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, you will receive access to exclusive bonus content as a thank you!

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

#5amwritersclub rambling thoughts love triangle except instead of love - it's support not like caring for one another, support like legs of a tripod each leg is necessary for the whole to stand

In addition to meeting other regular people; a lot of the people at your local party gatherings are also small business owners, work for small businesses, or contribute locally in some other fashion. Go and find out who to support in town, in your county, in your state. Politically and financially.

Here's my video about @santaragione.com's HORSES, and why it being banned from Steam sucks even if you aren't interested in *this particular game*. Video games as a whole deserve better! youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?...

Did I set drafting and editing goals for this month - the month where I also plan to finish contracting on two houses, sell one, and move into the other? Yes, I guess because two wildly different things driving me insane is easier to deal with than just the one?

Games are constantly under attack for doing things other mediums have tackled for decades as if it's some new taboo. Just watched @charalanahzard.bsky.social video that sums things up more eloquently youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?... #Indiedev should be talking more about the freedom of the artform.

Love this so much. 💜

As always, extremely well done and informative content from Alanah. Please watch this *and* take a stroll through her channel, you'll learn a ton.

Forgive the poor picture quality but I wanted to share this good omen with everyone. There have not been ring-necked pheasants near this property for many years. Our rewilding is working. Good things are happening. You just need to put in slow, steady, good-intentioned effort.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯. Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

okay I agree. November doesn't start til Monday

hey guys I thought I was gonna get destroyed by reading my editor's comments but actually I feel like I could literally do anything Is this. Actual constructive criticism helping you towards your goal? It's more likely than you think.

just as a tiny reminder, you can dislike something without phrasing things in a way that’s condescending and hurtful to people who do like that thing. subtly shaming people for liking something you don’t isn’t the move and isn’t the way to build yourself up

It’s been too gloomy for proper photos, but I am SO happy with this week’s glaze firing & had to take some quick shots yesterday despite the bad lighting!!

Up at 5am ( #5amwritersclub , #amediting ) writing a fourth email to my editor about the absolute shitshow of scattered edits I have planned for this manuscript. Can't ever keep them all in one place, even when I try to (collected from phone notes, three notebooks, and a doc [and my brain]).

A poem I wrote after reading Megan Falley's poem about grief after losing Andrea Gibson. It is moving, and resonated with me deeply. The grief from losing a spouse, or child or parent, is not the same as the grief of losing physical ability, but the words still rang true to me.

The trick is learning how to tie another length of rope to it every time you get to the "end" of your rope.

I say this as a diehard Mets fan - I need the Blue Jays to win America's Game™️ this year. Let's go Jays!!!

Time moves in layers - 2023

Any #booksky or #writingcommunity recommendations for new/recent tradpub and indie LOW and/or GRITTY FANTASY? I love involved world building, character-driven narratives, and interesting magic systems ("magic with a cost", especially). (Authors please use this post to self-promo!)

i want you to take the words that come to you like a bolt of lightning and write them down. i am so serious. it does not matter when and what they are. let them out. novels and poetry start as single lines.
