We're definitely less than a year away from AI tech bros doing the Inventing The Torment Nexus thing but with the SQUIP from Be More Chill. Just need to make sure Mountain Dew Code Red doesn't get discontinued.

When you feel like you know a famous dinosaur on a deep personal level but it doesn't even know you exist Call that a parasaurcial relationship

Someone more poetic than me should write something about the feeling of being at a concert (or listening to a live recording) and hearing someone absolutely lose their shit at the opening notes of a specific song. The pure expression of joy. The short glimpse into what the song means to them. Ykwim?

I like dead art memes and my LARP character. What crashing out and spending a year in the most chaotic group of people at magic college does to a mfer

When you get into sewing clothes for yourself you have this image of sitting peacefully at a sewing machine. Which like, yeah, that happens, but you also will spend multiple hours ironing and then later be scrambling around your apartment floor like golum laying out fabric and pattern pieces.

I think about this specific concept sketch of Zelda in the BotW art book at least once a month.

Pride haul from my local pride yesterday! One of these things is not like the others and I will explain in a comment (or multiple).

Evilrooster, ranting about this just now: "The only reason it's not a conspiracy theory is none of it makes sense"

My Cassandra joke was going to be really good but nobody seems to believe that.

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know

I emerge from the depths of inactivity to once more post art of my OC Elia. Was toying around with a brush on Procreate that I don't usually use and made this and am very happy with it.

Disney just did the funniest fucking thing

2010. A Japanese woman sits down to take photos of her shiba inu dog for her blog. Suddenly, a man leaps out of a time portal. "Sorry, I can't let you do this. I cannot tell you why." She asks: "Is it forbidden knowledge from the future?" He sighs: "No, it's just too fucking stupid to explain."

Playing a videogame with friends for a couple hours and making each other laugh so hard you can't breathe is genuinely and truly priceless experience that I hope everyone gets an equivalent of. (I know videogames arent exactly everyone's thing)

Maybe the solution to my single-ness is just to go look lost at a Hozier concert and hope a kind cottagecore queer femme takes pity on me.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

"I'm just going to make a low-stakes low-effort doodle of my character in her fancy ball outfit, I'm not gonna care if it's bad" they said, lying to themself. Anyway my character went to a ball and I wanted to draw her looking all cute and fancy so I did.

Babymetal is doing it too, sobbing. UK and Europe tour, only coming to London for the UK leg

Once again in the grips of "god damn I really wanna go to a Hatsune Miku concert" feels

On a similar note, "your first sketch/idea is never your best" is one of the worst pieces of advice I've ever gotten. I wasted a lot of time and energy forcing myself past concepts that I felt strongly about because I was made to believe a better one was out there. Often there just wasn't one.

I continue to use my art skills for shenaniganry.

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

it's not your fault if you mistook ai for an actual photo or art: it's built to deceive. what's wrong with generative ai isn't that it's ugly or unattractive, it's that it's theft of ideas, work, time, and talent while also destroying the environment. don't be hard on yourself if it tricks you.

The existence of trans and queer people is not inappropriate for any age to know about

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

ITS THE 3RD OF DECEMBER AND I HAVE NOBODY TO PINE DRAMATICALLY FOR LIFE IS A CRUEL MISTRESS AND NOT EVEN IN THE HOT WAY

I was asked today by a younger artist on how is it that I'm able to draw everyday without getting into a slump or art block and I was able to break it down into some bullet points. (Thread)

The horrifying pressure of a friend asking for my wisdom on something when I have the wisdom of a senile wizard on crack.

Every time I see a "UK tour" that only has gigs in England I get closer to committing unforgivable crimes against humanity.

I like living dangerously. But like in the way where its just me flirting with my friends as if that hasn't had me actually catch feelings before.

Bluesky Users 🚩🚩🚩 DO NOT FALL FOR ENGAGEMENT BAIT 🚩🚩🚩

Going to a wedding that has fantasy clothing encouraged and social anxiety around taking the bus there says no cloak. But it being 2 degrees celsius outside (and set to get to 0 in the next couple hours) says definitely cloak.

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

Cute animal checkpoint? Yes, OK, here you go.

We should replace the word 'Symmetry' with some sort of palindrome.

Glad I saw this before I began my daily games routine! "The guild said it was asking readers to honor its digital picket line by not playing Times Games products, such as Wordle, and not using the Cooking app." Gift link:

Happy Halloween and/or Samhain to those who celebrate!

The Animation Guild is asking the public to sign this petition, demanding the AMPTP give us a fair contract for the work we create that makes them billions please take a few seconds and support TAG, just like you supported the WGA and SAG-AFTRA last year! actionnetwork.org/petitions/sh...

Baldur's Gate 3 was so important for representation. Like take Gale, finally autistic people with rizz who say they're going to explode when faced with the slightest inconvenience, like me, got to see themselves accurately represented on screen.

Busker in city centre has been playing Despacito on repeat for 10 minutes straight

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

Every single one of these “we let our gen z employees write the script” trend videos are perfection.

Solo is looking at you. And he likes what he sees.

Seen some people do this and idk if I have enough followers for it to be worth trying but try I shall. (And at worst I will just delete this lol) Fair warning, my tastes are eclectic.

Californians! Every election, my husband writes up a guide to the various propositions, noting arguments for/against and relevant history for why these are on the ballot. If you'd like an easy one-stop primer, check it out: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
