feeling very 'i was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you' right now

im genuinely so disheartened by this ... especially the defensive response saying that they have to incorporate AI otherwise it would take too long to produce their designs ('hundreds of hours per piece').

learning with great sadness that a stationery company i like admitted to using AI in their design process 😭 (coracreacrafts) i always had a slight suspicion but hoped i was wrong ... & i honestly don't care if it's just a tool to 'enhance' otherwise human made designs. i just don't

howdy! my car, the only reliable commute i have, is in need of numerous and expensive repairs. some choice things went wrong, but at the moment, i'm losing power steering and acceleration. as an unemployed university student, I would be grateful for anything you can spare. 💕 gofund.me/3beb9c9cc

I've been wanting to use my warforged design for Cheats for Cheats' helmet in XIV, so I finally drew it. Behold him also cleaned up and dressed nicely for a change! Adra probably tied his tie.

Then Toad began to bang his head against the wall

adra's eyes are always their most striking feature. frost blue, piercing, unnerving. their gaze is cutting sharp, and when they look at someone, they *really* look, such that their absolute regard is physically felt

The worst people you know are upset and I think that’s wonderful

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

in the eye of a reckoning everyone is a sheep but i've become the lion's mouth so settle in my teeth 🎨 @raadst.bsky.social

With the majority of Kickstarter books sent out except for people we don’t have addresses for, we are working on making extra copies available for everyone who missed the campaign! So if you are looking to buy the book, we’ll hopefully have more info on that for you guys soon 💖

We still have some people who need to fill out their backer surveys so we can send you your book! If you’ve not received yours yet, check your kickstarter or email for the survey!

i want adra's bed to break but not bc of sex. just bc the bed was simply not designed to accommodate a giant metal man every single night. so i just want adra to wake up at three AM to find the bed collapsed under them bc their poor furniture has had enough

Because people think you're a bitch if you don't. See also: add emoticons, softening qualifiers, and any other happy-go-lucky, no-worries-if-not! flair.

IT'S NOVEMBER but I'm not ready to give up the ghost just yet!! Go for it young miss!! 💚 #spookycute #ocs

i think i updated my shop (new arcadion photocards, added more wind-up designs, and restocked a lot of the usual!) 🛒 sadcatjazz.com

everyone should read this 👁️👁️ "You can give someone who relies on SNAP a store-specific gift card...that can only be used to make purchases at Kroger...at Walmart...at Albertson’s — and it will not be counted against them by the SNAP program."
