Been awhile since I've posted - life has been pretty crazy but hoping to slowly reappear. Wanted to share this lovely sketchpage of my two OCs Ash & Cody by the lovely Charcoal! Love all the cute little moments of them :)

Finally got Clair Obscur and absolutely loving it so far 😄

Thanks to Blue for the awesome commission of my two OCs!

It’s too bloody warm. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Good time to bump this. Donating all profits to the Trevor Project. Grab a book, do some good.

Yay! KickFlip by @ldlapinski.bsky.social arrived today from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social Looking forward to reading it tonight (if I don't melt from the heat first). It's a new graphic novel out this week about skateboarding, but also finding your community and self-discovery! #BookSky #QueerBooks

Finished one more ref sheet for #artfight hehe 🙏 Meet my oc Kyo eveyone! he is my favorite boy 💚🍃 #art #BRart #bskyart #Pokemon #oc #ocart #ocsky #artmoots #artshare #artistsupport #anime #digitalart #artsky #blueskyartists #promosky #arttrain #kawaii #aesthetic

Today is a difficult day, just another one among very difficult days. Don’t give in, get through… even it it’s a rage that guides you. You’re not alone, and we will get through this together. Other flyers and national version of helplines available for free ko-fi.com/pailbn/shop/...

The news about funding for 988 option 3 being cut is very upsetting. But please can we make sure the message going out is that there IS still support available. Trevor project will remain contactable directly. Trans Lifeline is still there. Help IS available, even with the cuts. #queer #helpline

Please be aware before sharing crisis line information. Check carefully that you are not reposting misinformation that risks distressing callers & call handlers by directing them to the wrong place. The Trevor Project remains contactable directly, Trans Lifeline has numbers for US & Canada.

It’s important to note that The Trevor Project will remain contactable directly. Make sure LGBTQIA+ youth know that the service is there for them. This is going to impact their funding so if you can support Trevor Project directly please do so. It’s vital the service continues.

Free Queer Romances!! All month!! Happy Pride!! beverlyannemichel.itch.io #lgbtqiawriters #asexual #sapphic #lesfic #romancelandia #booksky 💙📚 🌶️📚 🌈📚

OK folks, really need your help. Trans Pride NI is getting zero funding, nothing from the council or Belfast Pride and if they don't hit £5k, it won't happen. They're over £2k now. Can we get this to target? Please share. Thank you ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Artists please keep posting your OCs! I love seeing the characters you’ve all come up with. Art and interesting info about your OCs is one of my Favourite things on Bluesky 💜

Gave a try last night and definitely recommend! A cyberpunk visual novel where you work at a body mod shop. Talk with clients, learn about them then either recommending mods, or help them realise maybe it's not for them. Lovely art, music and loved the writing. It's also very LGBTQIA+ friendly! 💜

Commission Sheet Update time ✨✨✨ Everything is the same, but I added the sketch comms properly! DM me here or on Ko-Fi if you have any questions! (Pls include another form of contact on Ko-Fi when making an order, ty!) ko-fi.com/annaswelle #splatoon #splatoonart #splatooncomms

Gained a bunch of new followers so hello everyone! 👋 here's my MEET THE ARTIST 2025 so you guys can get to know me a bit better, hehehe >:) #art #bskyart #artmoots #artshare #artistsupport #BRart #blueskyartists #promosky #digitalart #artsky #kawaii #aesthetic #cute #meettheartist #LGBT #oc #ocart

FYI, you can see all of my Pride recs by checking out the #DaxPrideRecs hashtag! I've got at least 1 or 2 per day!

If you're not out protesting it would be great to bury all attention to the parade on social media. It's pride month, Trump has tried to suppress that as much as possible. Tomorrow is a perfect time to help boost LGBTQIA+ folks by sharing their posts, stores, art, books, streams, anything!

Work finished for the week 🎉 Debating whether to: A) Find some new demos in NextFest. B) Build a huge modlist for Rimworld or Stardew that takes me all evening and I then play for 30 mins and decide I’m bored. C) Just lie here melting due to the heat. A, B or C?

If I see another text as image post about how someone cares about people or how everyone is welcome, and the poster hasn’t included alt text I probably will actually scream. People doing it are shown a message that says why alt text is important and just decided they didn’t care enough about it.

Finally got round to updating my LGBTQIA+ writer #StarterPack Full of awesome writers for you to follow and either talk about writing or see the cool stuff they are working on! Go give them a follow and find something new to read for pride month! #PrideMonth #QueerAuthors #BookSky

#HorrorWritersChat Thanks for hosting this week! Great questions, as always. I’m creating an inclusive discord for speculative fiction writers! It’s launching this Friday, but please feel free to message me earlier if you’re curious about it. I’m re-vamping my Wordpress and Kofi, too! Links below.

I really love seeing my trans fern #SciArt out in the world! If you'd like one, they're available at canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...

Helloooooo all you beautiful mischief makers out there!

Decided to finish this piece of my oc Joel afterall! He's the villain of Sachi, Mick's, and Takeshi's story! He's also the prince of the rival gang of Mick's (and his bandmate...yikes). He's suppose to be a real pretty boy whose so charming you wouldn't know they're a snake in the grass until bit.

Go give this demo a try. It’s a lovely game where you get to decorate your mobile bookshop, recommend books, and meet interesting people. I am so excited for when we get the full release of this in August! Only downside is it makes me wish mobile book selling was a viable business IRL 😂

Still struggling to do creative things. It’s been a month or two now and just feels like any time I want to work on anything there’s just a wall blocking off the creative part of my brain. Very frustrating atm, I’ve tried switching what I’m working on and all of it is just blank 😩

Now more than ever my heart is with California. I have seen the LA "river" during a flood. There's pictures of me in the redwoods. Some of my first memories are playing uno in a small LA apartment with my parents. They stand strong. Show the world we resist. 💙🛡

Things you can do if you can't protest (Sunday or next weekend): Call your reps (easy at 5calls.org) Offer childcare for a protesting friend Be the safe phone contact for a protesting friend Write an op-ed for your local paper Get & distribute info (like lawyer phone numbers) to those who need it

Awful lot of people posting safety & protest info without #AltText It would take seconds to copy and paste the text in the image into the alt text. Also makes your post more discoverable through search. (in case making safety information accessible wasn’t a good enough reason already for you). 1/4

It’s incredibly noticeable how often ‘and an army of outsourcers outside America and Western Europe’ is left out of these team sizes. That’s the part I find real uncomfortable.

Time for a new quote, and this one is fit for #PrideMonth ! Just one confused quoiromantic MC dealing with a lot of feelings!! Also Zita remains the best, I don't make the rules 🌈📚 PAINTED FLOCK comes out June 26 ! claudiearseneault.itch.io/painted-flock

I think by now we all know I had a wonderful time at #ukge2025. That said, there WAS something that really disappointed me, that I think is important to highlight - the use of AI. It wasn't prevalent, but I saw AI art on a number of stands for board games, TTRPGs, and gaming tools alike... 🧵

Bit overdue on updating these but hoping to in the next week. I have #StarterPacks of LGBTQIA+ artists, streamers, authors, also charities & LGBTQIA+ UK bookshops. Please let me know if you want to be added to any! You must post own content (not just repost) & must use alt text. No AI. 1/2

Happy Friday🐌🌈 chatting and hanging out in stream today. www.twitch.tv/jinxperegrine #vtuber

I have a voucher a friend gave me for @portalbookshop.bsky.social that I want to spend on something. Any recommendations? (either from the lovely people at Portal, or anyone!) I'm quite into graphic novels at the moment. Could get book 2 of Check Please! But open to ideas! #BookSky #LGBTQIA+Books

Might be for kids but I'm still excited 😆 I love a good graphic novel & hope that never changes. I wish books like it had existed when I was a kid, knowing I wasn't alone would have been nice. Can't wait for my pre-order of KickFlip from bookshop.org to arrive! 1/2 #BookSky #NewBooks #QueerBooks

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride!🌈 Want to sip a brew while being whomever and whatever you want to be at the time? Well now is your chance, and I'd love to see you at my 1k Push Party on the 15th!🏳️‍🌈🖤✨

My newest creation is this fabric art ghost bag. I designed and hand-sewed her, and I tie-dyed her lining. She enjoys eating bones of all kinds and using her telekinetic powers to make them dance inside her. jeremycreature.etsy.com

The UK government was just defeated in the House of Lords for a *fifth* time over AI training data transparency. Please watch the electrifying end to Baroness Kidron's closing speech ahead of the vote. Creators have no greater champion. 🧵 1/2

Initially AI was trained on published works and human art. These had a human taking time to make sure their work was good, so the input was good. People don’t check AI output as much, now there’s so much AI writing and art out there that gets fed back into training data the quality decreases. Good.

Advice from an editor specifically for Pride: 1. When someone uses they/them pronouns, those are singular in all conjugations. You know how you'd say he/him/his and himself? It's not suddenly "themselves" for someone who uses they/them pronouns. Themself is correct.
