My radio show is back on this week 💚 datafruits.fm/chat NA Pacific: 13 Nov 3pm NA Eastern: 13 Nov 6pm UK / Ireland / Portugal: 13 Nov 23:00 Central Europe: 14 Nov 00:00

I'm opening 1 emergency commission slot to help cover some immediate costs today. If you've been wanting a something from me and are happy with a longer completion window (end of December), it would make a real difference right now 💚 ℹ️ Full info: vine-opal-3ec.notion.site/Emote-emoji-...

Starting using Affinity 3 for commission work 🎉 The nice thing about Affinity 3 is that it gives my clients the opportunity to explore the source files of their commissions entirely for free. This also counts for past commissions - just open up the .af/.afdesign file in Affinity.

Been resuming commissions, often curled up to my desk in blankets while Star Trek: Voyager is on in the background. 💚

Finished emoji commission for Xumbra!

Will be posting work stuff again soon. But honestly I haven't been enjoying Bluesky lately, or really any social media much. And I'm already grieving and just dealing with my own stuff, so I think I'm going to be quieter in general.

I've been quiet lately. This was initially because I'm not really capable of handling bad news that comes in my feed at a time when I need every bit of strength to build a stable life. Bluesky shares dynamics with Twitter, ones I don't like. I don't really like Point At The Bad Thing posts.

Not had any new work to show lately. I've started getting back into job applications because I really need it and I can't keep going without a regular job. Even though I'm unsupported making job applications because I'm in this crack in the system where I get no govt assistance 🌈

Obduction is still an incredibly beautiful game in places.

Please please please give your feedback, it's a very short survey!

Fucks sake. My bank account has mysteriously returned to my PayPal account and I can cash money out again. It does not erase the other shit I've been dealing with that I mentioned on Masto, but ugh. fuck.

finished up his guy to ease into drawing 💪

My brother recently got a newer iPhone and installed iOS 26 beta on it. The spatial photos are kind of incredible. (This is a 3D reconstruction of a 2D photo)

There are many ways to make generative AI critiques, and I have made extensive filter lists so I don't have to the shit ones because my life is hell as it is and having to hear "humans are special beings who have souls and that is the basis of art" for the Nth time is not my idea of a good time.

⚠️ Do not send me money via PayPal right now PayPal in its infinite wisdom has decided to unlink my account from my bank and will not let me link it back. I need to shout at PayPal's data controller but in the meantime, my PayPal account is useless because I cannot get money from it🎉

There is something so viscerally nice about using a high-density, 120Hz screen.

My brain has been in this particular trauma-mode the past week or so where the idea of using my normal portable work setup (which needs a desk) was too much to bear. So a friend kindly lended me his iPad Pro 12.9" 2nd gen. 💚 I've only just finished setting it up. I'll find out how it goes!

Starting to wish that cryptocurrency wasn't complete and utter bullshit.

With the UK Online Safety Bill, the government has not just censored adult content, it's also declared itself **moderator of the UK internet**. If you want an internet that doesn't resemble China's - start using a VPN now: - Proton VPN (protonvpn.com) - Mullvad (mullvad.net/en)

There's no Elusive this month. I really like to try to get one show out every month because I like having a schedule but it just wasn't happening in the time that I had.

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.

I phoned PayPal on +44203 901 7000. The advisor hadn't heard of the itch.io case. We discussed the best ways to have a complaint go up the hierarchy. I was also advised to email [email protected] I'd advise phoning ASAP, insist the advisor escalate the complaint, and email as well.

Maybe we could find out. Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372 Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

Christianity can get fucked every day for the rest of time. I hope it eventually becomes about as relevant as other ancient religions.

Re. fascist/puritanical age verification laws: If you can afford it, I would simply recommend using a VPN service at this point. I use Proton VPN (which has a free tier for those who can't afford to pay), I know friends of mine who are techier than me recommend Mullvad.

The march at Trans Pride Brighton yesterday 💚

Trans Pride on Saturday. My body and mind are not ready but I will be around ✨
