I hope those load bearing followers know how much they mean to artists. Regulars, esp regular commenters that engage your work and story do not go without notice and are to be cherished. It's esp why I try to reply to let them know! (and why I wish I could keep track of any I've missed replying to )

One of the most memorable scenes in the history of cinema. RIP Sam Neill

saw a trans streamer I followed playing the terf wizard game what the fuck is wrong with you if you play that shit you're genuinely dead to me I want 0 interactions with you if you've ever touched that. I do not care who you are, you're the enemy if you've touched that IP in the last few years

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

I know I'm following the right people here because I've seen no "HUR HUR THE BIGOT WAS REALLY A GAY HAW HAW" posting on the timeline.

In this weeks newsletter, we celebrate a milestone with a retrospective featuring all 22 dragon covers Michael painted in his career: theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/a-legacy-o...

We are at KitsuneKon this weekend! If you’re in the Green Bay Area come check out all the amazing artists and vendors that are here! It’s been a great time so far and the weather has been perfect! #kitsunekon #kitsunekon2026 #artist #artistalley #artdoll

I wasn't really paying attention to it but have people memed "playstation 2 graphics" so much that there's a subset of people that think it has like bad graphics or something, that's dumb as fuck do you think art direction and programming was invented by Claude in 2021 or some shit...stupid

'AI Destroyed the Digital Artist' (from our BLFC show) is based on the 80's hit by The Buggles. This parody is a modern commentary on AI art. In the same vein as the original, it's a reflection on how technological advancements can disrupt established creative artforms with sad consequences.

I will never forgive Grok for tarnishing a perfectly good orc name

stay strong for your ocs and oc ship. do it for them. hang in th

I have a background in food safety from my old days. Cyclospora is going around, and it'll make you piss out of your ass for days on end. You can avoid this by washing all of your fruits and veggies really, really, really well. Clean your food so you don't shit your ass.

Thing is, I'm not really worried for myself if gaming has a crash. If the industry just falls apart, I've got decades of games to go back to, replay, make videos about, I could do so forever. I'll be fine. It's the devs, retailers & everyone else whose liveliness depends on it that I feel bad for.

All the reactions to American food... I would like to remind everyone living here, our food is so good because of immigration. We started using flavors from other countries and mixing them. Just like our population. We'd still be eating beans on toast without immigrants.

Art Fight has given me a really great exercise in "It doesn't need to be a huge, elaborate piece" I don't have the energy for everything to be a big, massive production. Sometimes it's just a headshot, or a chibi, or something simple, and that's okay.

It seems people are often afraid of liking their own art work due to the worry of being perceived as egotistical or conceited, but you can still love your work and have a huge driving force behind that acting as a love for learning and improving. You can be proud and seek joy while you grow.

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

i think when people make OCs you always gotta have a part of their design that's like "it's like that because i'm a pervert" it's very important

We will eat avocado toast and kill every industry until our demands are met.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

Captain America never misses

So like... Are the Gaylors on suicide watch or are they still trying to convince themselves that the most straight white woman in existence is gay based on nothing?

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN

I want a Resident Evil dating sim where I can force Wesker to fall in love with me at gunpoint.

Without Hesitation…. “I believe every child should be able to eat lunch at school whether their parents have money that week or not.”

My art fight today is on @bearhybrid.art ! I have been such a fan of your art for ages, and this was the perfect opportunity to draw Holly howling at the moon! Please don't feel like you need to attack me back! This was so fun to do and I hope you like it!

I love Carpenter too much to pick a favorite movie of his, but Prince of Darkness is up there. incredibly effective horror film because it grounds Satan's & the Anti-God's existence in physics & mathematics. evil as scientific fact. and there are no rituals or magic to exorcise it -- it's inevitable

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

Look at this gorgeous wyvern that I made for an Etsy order! He's a black/gold and he's just stunning.

Dear game developers: If you can't be fucked to make a cover art for your game and decide to just generate one, I won't be fucked to play your game. Thank you.

for those too young to remember: thirty years ago today, space aliens arrived on Earth and destroyed most of human civilization, before being defeated two days later by Jeff Goldblum uploading malware to their mothership’s hard drive using a Windows 95 laptop

We are @convergencecon.bsky.social this weekend! Come stop by if you’re at the con! We’ve got lots of fun new things and badges ribbons~~~

We shouldn't have stopped throwing tomatoes at people that suck.

Hey! This is my first year doing #ArtFight ! I've never done it before and I'm excited to do this!

Hey, gays and lesbians? Being transphobic isn't going to save you when they come for us. You're never going to be "one of the good ones" in the eyes of fascism. You're just going to get thrown into the wood chipper after they're done with us.

LRP but YOU NEED to start knowing how to pirate stuff. I mean this. Corps are trying their darnest so that you don't own anything. So that preservation becomes impossible. Its to defend YOUR right to have your stuff. Its to protect the existence these artists' work (games, movies, etc).

A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

Trans fam: your lives are precious no matter what the fuck these people say translifeline.org/hotline/

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

"This game is bad!" "The series changed too much!" "It's way too easy now!" Then play another game. Turn it off. Play something else. You probably have hundreds of games in your backlog, unplayed. Nobody is forcing you to play games that make you unhappy. And if a series is 'too far gone', let go.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.
