Instagram commenters seem to be getting more racist lately. I saw on my feed a video post showing nice pictures of Mexico, and at least half the comments were derisive ones about cartels. What is wrong with the Instagram userbase?

The hip-hop musicians seem to have all disappeared today. Must be that Rap-ture everyone's talking about.

For today's Thumbnail Time, we have the megaraptoran dinosaur Joaquinraptor stalking through the warm and humid forests of Late Cretaceous South America. #thumbnail #sketch #dinosaur #paleoart #art

I posted this on my deviantART the other day on a whim, and someone ended up hiring me to make a custom character sprite animation. Quite cool. #art #sprite #animation #gamedev #2D

I may not care for the politics Charlie Kirk represents, but whatever the motivation for shooting him, it's inexcusable. We really do have a problem with stochastic outbreaks of gun violence like this in our country.

Someone on DeviantArt posted nice comments on some writing I shared over there. When we started chatting on Discord, I found out they were just a scammer trying to get commission money from me. Such people are just so predatory it's sickening.
