call your reps. This package was pushed through the house.

I don't have a future.

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce passed the Kids Act, a mix of KOSA, Screen Act, and several other ID/facescan verification bills. There is still time before a final vote in the House, as well as a Senate version. Please use this link to call your Senators and Representatives to vote no.

Such a shame, indeed...

Metal graphic sketch that will probably never turn into actual metal graphic. The assignment was "Reflection" #sketch #demon #reflection #pond

Read this thread. This is why that taboo art you don't like needs to exist. Block it if it upsets you. Move on with your life. But dont destroy the safety nets and frameworks for actual victims that would come about by forcing everything right back into another Hays Code cuz you can't press a button

some bits of wisdom from tunglr

If you’re ever frustrated or fed up with your work, remember that you’re not alone. Even Tove Jansson tried to kill the Moomins with a mallet

If you see this, post a monster!

"But I hate ICE and support trans rights and etc etc" if you aid in the suppression of art, you are a fascist. One of the textbook markers of a fascist state is the suppression of art it deems "degenerate". If you have one empathetic cell left in your brain, you'll start digging into the history

Emercy announcement! All commission types from the first two options and pixel art comms will be done in a week!!! I got extra 71€ added because my tooth chipped again after being fixed less than month ago 😭 All shares appriciated #artistsupport #commissions

sorry (not sorry) if this is a hot take, but I've seen conversation today about creators who are forced out of online spaces due to overzealous fan pressure, and I guess some people are suggesting that creators need to "not care" but you know what I think fans need to chill the fuck out fully

I got lazy 😔

Bluesky is such an amazing place but if everyone reposts the artworks they see and show their support to their favorite artists more often this place would become a best social media app for the artists as we struggle to survive REPOST. WE DONT HAVE ALGORITHM HERE.

Knights of Guinevere officially has the greenlight, folks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oC8...

Reminder that this is a thing :3

Genuinely, if you give this woman anymore money you're part of the problem. I have run out of patience for the various arguments people make. Genuinely, if you buy this shit you're lining the pockets of a woman doing untold harm to the trans community. Don't fucking do it.

Reminder that "degenerate" was a term coined by Nazis to describe art they didn't like and labeled problematic. Unless you have proof of real world harm, leave people alone and let them draw fucknasty shit. You have block and mute features. Stop making your disgust everyone else's problem.

Really funny how the ruling class keeps justifying infringing on our liberties with "we gotta protect the children" while bombing palestinian children, protecting a global billionaire network of child trafficking, and building measles infested children prisons

Fellow artists beware of job listings or recruiters from a group posing as Blinkmoon. Preying on hopeful artists in this job climate is disgusting. Don't let them waste your time. More details in OPs thread.

1. Make short comics before attempting a long comic 2. Put speech bubbles into your page layouts 3. Have a coherent reading order 4. Characters must be distinct 5. Characters must be fun/easy to draw 6. A decent background at least once per page 7. Do stretches and weight training

If I ever accidentally follow or comment on AI art please let me know. It's getting harder to tell 🥲

EU friends, please take a moment to sign this initiative, especially if you're from the countries still below the support threshold
