Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

I challenged myself to paint this at A3 size, which is huge for me! medium: Schmincke Horadam gouache

Everyone tries to tell you apathy is cool, but the sooner you learn earnestness is strength not cringe and that all your quirks are what people will fall in love with, the sooner learn how to define your own happiness and find true friends who love youf for you

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Support the artists you like now because tomorrow you might not be able to find them.

KEEP DRAWING!

9 jours de inktober (ressenti : 800)

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

punches my screen THERE'S NO CLIPS OF MY DRESS-UP DARLING here on bluesky?????? I love how they do style changes for the anime that they show and later cosplay. They put so much work into it, it's crazy #MyDressUpDarling

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I have said for decades that frustration is a good thing. it's not even really something I see as something to 'tolerate' though I recognize that's a matter of perspective, but rather frustration is the symptom of you having standards and recognizing you want to close that gap between you and it

im hosting an october prompt list called #smalltalestober 🐸 feel free to join in weekly or daily or whatever works for you :3

Tell your favorite artists you love their work

Always and forever grateful to my friends and supporters and people for leaving comments. 💜💜💜

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

This has fixed me.

please support ur friends making creative shit in this cruel world. u have no idea how much a kind comment can mean to an artist when every website just tries to make you focus on the numbers

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

An overwhelmingly common reason people give for enjoying this type of work IS ITS SEPARATION FROM REALITY. People are ENJOYING A FANTASY, not planning their weekend. This deserves protection.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

DO YOU REMEMBER

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

gonna draw erotic adult porn for my wonderful & consenting adult audience today because @bsky.app needs to be reminded how many of us 'explicit' artists are here holding their app together. #bskycensorship

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

I drew porn for fun now I'm drawing it for fun and spite

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

I asked all my very fake super fictional and overall not real characters and they said they super duper consent to all the weird shit that happens to them.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

🧵 My 7 steps to get you out of artblock:

So my tomatoes are ripening at an alarming rate and I am indeed swamped with fruits 🤣🍅🔪 These are just the ripe San Marzanos!!! o! the consequences of my actions! lmao

I like that people enjoy this one. Feels nice sometimes to drop the pretense and let out my genuine wish that everyone achieve some sort of security and ability to appreciate and find joy in their idiosyncracies.

Whenever someone questions market impacts of GenAi, show them this article. Make them read each heart breaking story. People’s livelihoods are being negatively impacted, by a tech that relied on the work of those same people to function at capacity. The whole thing makes me sick.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

"I'm talking about building a truly unique imaginary world, tossing in characters I like, and then creating a complete drama using them. Simply put, this is what animation is to me."

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.
