Canadians getting on their soap box under this post does feel a bit ridiculous given they're also a settler state that intervenes in other countries. Not at the same scale for the latter as the US but still

"Plan a general strike" to stop a fascist who kidnapped another country's head of state and bombed civilians... I agree he needs to be stopped but let's be realistic about how

Like, how many people are out there right now pretending like American interventionism in Central and South America is new? "That's not who we are!" YES IT IS IT WAS FOR A SOLID 200 YEARS MONROE ROOSEVELT PANAMA NICARAGUA SUPPORTING COUPS AND DICTATORS TRAINING DEATH SQUADS

That's it 100%. And I can tell you, for non-Americans just the tone of the US national discussion is offensive. It's so damn clear that all those guys opining about war and peace do it from a position of detachment, fully expecting to not experience any of it ever on a personal level.

I didn't want this! I'm one of the good ones! Well a fat lot of good that did, didn't it

This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nagham. Nagham is a journalist (if you click on her chuffed you can find links to some of her stories at the bottom), a very dangerous profession in Gaza. She has three children Amir, 9, Amjad, 7 and Ayla, 3. She also has an injury to her leg

Yo @safety.bsky.app are you all just deleting every single account from Gaza on sight? Because this person hadn’t even heard of Bluesky when I started talking to her- made an account yesterday and made ONE POST. She’s a published journalist by the way.

It's #nightinthewoods time! 🍂🍁 #fall #autumn #indiegames #cake #animation #art #procreate

Who did this to you? #ocs #ctccomic

Magical scrapyard full of abandoned rune stones and broken magical objects and the woman running it is this exhausted dyke who basically is always smoking a pipe and she's extremely magic resistant which is why she can pick up all this shit that would burn off anybody else's skin and toss it

This remains an evergreen post in my mind

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

It's my birthday today! I'm 38. Have a couple pieces that I still like, from older versions of my current forever WIP. I haven't done much art this year, but I am enjoying working on stories behind the scenes; hoping 2026 is the year I can bring some of them to fruition.

i'm watching this period flick where it's yom kippur and this family are complaining about the family next door having their radio on instead of observing the holy day and the dad goes "well, what do you want me to do about it!? i'd like to burn their house down, but i can't light the matches!"

Decided to use these drawings of my oc Minerva as key poses and animate her!

This is how I do the crayon textures on my drawings- important to spot if its too fast- lay down flat, textureless colors slightly less saturated than what you'd normally choose. Then, on another layer, start coloring over the flat colors with textured brushes. I use a flat graphite brush!

My opinion is that when post colonial countries are like no longer studying languages from their colonizers; it should be replaced with studying languages from a neighboring country. Like wtf when the Philippines dropped Spanish we should've been learning Malay and Indigenous Ph languages in schools

Next time you see someone say France is like some arbiter of revolutionary justice, remind them that Frantz Fanon's Wretched of The Earth was banned in France during its occupation of Algeria

"In the name of revolution" During the 2nd Intif@da this was a popular slogan to embroider on thobes as a form of resist@nce. #art

The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.

Vegans! Vegetarians! Anyone who likes cooking / eating amazing LIFE-CHANGING food! Here is my attempt at writing up a recipe for "daler bora", a treat from my childhood which is a lot easier to make with a food processor than it was for my mum having to grind the lentils using a rolling pin. Enjoy!

Hey artists and makers - if you’re seeing very few sales right now, please know that it’s not a reflection of your worth or skill. Across the board, not making back our table fees and expenses, and that’s really scary. If you can, please shop small this season. We really need your support.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Everyone at the necromancy guild, we have come across a death god that consumes not just the flesh and remains, but the data of what makes a person, their engravings in the archives of samsara. We need all available necromancers on deck ASAP

I hate to say that sex workers tried to warn y'all this wasn't going to stop at just porn sites, but...

The Iconoclasm

This holiday season, In case you were not aware; tulips, lillies, cyclamen, holly, mistletoe and poinsettia are toxic to cats and dogs; lilies and cyclamen are especially deadly for cats. Please be advised, I do not want anyone to lose a beloved pet just because they werent warned!

I beg your fucking pardon?

It's not our fault the whole scene is A MESS. If you are an artist too you aren't failing. The whole industry is getting messed up right now!! I know a lot of the times I feel like "why am I not good enough?" We are good enough. they are trying to hire NOBODY
