Want to avoid explosive diarrhea? Pass it on

hating your art is not a virtue, it's a sign of burn out or mental illness. the same way your muscles ache if you exercise too much or your stomach hurts if you're starving. learn to identify it as a sign you're pushing too hard or expecting too much of yourself somehow and check in with yourself.

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

Reposting because they still have a ways to go to meet the goal. This is horrifying bullshit on top of a lot of already horrifying bullshit.

Wake up, guys: time to badger your Congressman again. This is the latest version of the crappy KOSA bill: "push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications."

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

when it’s the perfect ship dynamic but it’s a rarepair and you’re alone thinking about them:

that was an XXL #ffxiv #zenos

IF YOU SEE THIS CLOSE THE TAB IMMEDIATELY this is a trick to install malware on your machine. it is not a real captcha system.

this was a fun little process vid to put together.

your favorite online creators aren't ur friends and there's a fine-line between friendly behavior and genuine friendship. too many weird things have been said to me lol

Bet you thought I wouldn't be doing a anniversary pic this yr! Even tho I haven't been drawing as much I still wanted to make sure I at least did this Not as involved as my previous #ARMSIVERSARY pics but at least something #NintendoARMS #ARMSNICE #ARMS_9TH #ZukaArt

This is fucking HUGE 🙌

South of Midnight was the first time I saw my peers talk about the South as something beautiful and worth seeing. That game did something I didn't think was possible; it was a love letter to a region I believe we should fight for, and for once, my peers got to see the beauty and magic that I see.

when industry professionals say shit like "we're just using AI to generate concepts and ideas, it won't be in the finished project" all i hear is "we think concept artists are worth nothing and we do not value their time or insight" but also you are building a house on rotten foundation jesus christ

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

if it isn't clear, I'm with the 18+ artists. don't think because the majority of my art is market friendly that it means I am. fuck censorship, fuck fascism, fuck puritanism. people should have the choice to decide what they want to see, not have the choice made for them.

Still Evergreen

"Made it with AI" Invisibly appearing over my head:

happy day to everyone with a complicated relationship with this holiday

i go insane when queer people go after queer people because they don't meet their standards of being queer. You think THEY are the op??? Right now? that's where you're putting your energy??

I'm mostly saying this to convince myself: making something bad isn't the end of the world. Even the best book/movie/etc you've ever seen that moved you to tears and changed your life has detractors and haters. So like you might as well just do it

I need you to know that being proud of yourself and your art and your life and not hating yourself is an extremely loud form of rebellion that the system does not like. They want us to hate ourselves so we're easier to control and they want us to hate our work so they can pay us less. Don't do it.

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

Offers close in 24 hours! <33

You LOVE to see it, good work everyone, keep up the relentless dunks on AI, all these bros deserve a wedgie/swirlie combo and they are not allowed to sit at our table ever again.

I just saw this on Tumblr. Not sure how true it is, but please be careful out there. Some artists say it happened on vgen too. #vgen #artsky

All AI User Babies Will Be Beaten Senseless By Every Abled Bodied Person In The Bar

descend upon them: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings... you are a gremlin in the comments now go be a paladin in the public comments

Scarlet Witch was another suggestion that was given some times ago. i like this version, maybe i'll start watching the x men series. #digitalart #illustration #fanart #halfbody #scarletwitch #xmenevolution #wandamaximoff

bluesky, we're a bit rocky right now, but this carousel thing instead of a mosaic of images is going to effectively make every photo you post that isn't the first one, invisible. nobody is going to be swiping for every post they see. please consider that not being the default display, please

Looking forward to August!

BIG SIPPY

If youre a UK resident you have a prime opportunity to push back against the Online Safety Act and online surveillance. PLEASE take a moment to fill this out and share it around

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

hey i’m being real fucking serious right now call your reps. this is insane. he already had thousands of jobs removed from the us fish and wildlife service. dismantling the us forest service will have a devastating impact on habitat protections. im too mad for words.

can WE PLEASE IMPEACH THIS FUCKING WORM?????????????????????????????????

in the original sketch it should be Poppy near Zirko, but i decided to add Smidge because i wanted to have the excuse to draw another troll. #digitalart #illustration #fanart #dreamworks #trolls #oc #poppy #branch #smidge #changeling

It's International Asexuality Day so reminder that everyone feels sexual attraction in their own way and that can include not at all. It doesn't mean they're broken or wrong, it just makes them another point in the broad spectrum of how to be human. And they are ALWAYS welcome as the A in LGBTQIA+.

Also PSA as there's been an influx of followers... If you have an AI generated profile or use it in any way, you're getting blocked. Fuck GenAi. Period.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

PLEASE HELP MY FRIEND SAVE HER ADORABLE AND SASSY LITTLE PARROTLET 😭 www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...
