NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

After-lunch stroll in the garden 🌸🌿✨ Remember my first post here? It's actually part of a larger piece (2nd image). I put a lot of love and care into this piece, and I'm very proud of it. 😊

Trying to soothe my nervous system with plants today and it always works. Look at the tiny cactus arm!! 🥺 Incredible

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I've seen discourse surrounding artists "peaking" at 30 and I just want to say don't fall for that trap! I'll be 45 this year and I don't think I've ever been more resolute about my work. Existence and perseverance is art; you can not PEAK yourself. Every iota of creation you make is a miracle.☄️

A Knight of Seven Kingdoms was cute. I rage quit House of the Dragon in season 1 so I was extremely skeptical going into this new show but it was cute! I liked the emphasis on nature, friendships, and the lower classes instead of watching nobility doing whatever they want with zero consequences.

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today. Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock. Great grandchild of Condor # 1. We as humanity can still do good things. #birds

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Here’s a pair of California condors on this Valentine’s Day! These were a special challenge to make, but I think they came out well. They will both be available this Friday, February 20th, at 8pm Eastern time.

Vladimir Panov (1931-2007)

Starting to think I'll never get accepted for a job like wtf. I have so much experience and education. The worst part is being paralyzed by job searching and the fear that there's a good chance I'll be homeless if this continues. So I can't enjoy anything: can't draw, write, socialize, nothing

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

Alright so I did end up making a nsfw account b/c I've been writing and drawing A LOT of smut lately and haven't felt comfortable posting it on this account for reasons. Second account is just for smutty nonsense, nothing else -> @gold0kapi2.bsky.social 🔞🔞🔞

cops: sex trafficking victims are impossible to find! most of them don’t even know they’ve been trafficked. dozens of women over decades: here’s our sworn statements about jeff epstein cops: … prosecutors: … anti-trafficking task forces: … cops: we have no choice but to do a craigslist sting

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.
