Seeing lots of folks new to bluesky or returning after a long absence, so worth a reminder that you can increase your reach here by including alt text on your book promos or art! It is also a very kind and thoughtful thing to do in a world desperate for kindness and care💜

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

Please look at my cat

WAAAH THAT'S MEEEE 💚

European Union: European Parliament resolution backs ‘full recognition of trans women as women’ www.washingtonblade.... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Don't just rollover and let this happen. Getting loud is how you get them to stop. "Oh but I have to be so active, ugh, I'm tired, someone else will do it" Yeah imagine if everyone said that...oh wait that's how furry porn is outlawed in North Carolina already.

You kicked ASS in there tonight! We'll make a savage raider of you yet 😈 /lh

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

HAPPY SOUL ACE DAY to my Black asexuals and aromantics! To celebrate and learn more, please download Black Ace Culture: A Digital Zine by blackaceculture blackaceculture.itch.io/black-ace-cu... #blackaces #blackace #blackasexual #blackaromantics #asexuality #asexual #aroace #acearo #aromantic

The US Department of Homeland Security is tapping Big Tech to hand over the personal information of people criticizing ICE… this is a major acceleration that affects all of us 🧵👇

Y'all I miss regularly streaming so so so much but Imma open up a bit about some IRL shit I'm dealing with making that difficult at the moment, for transparency's sake and 'cause I think y'all deserve to know at this point. I don't know when it'll get better. 🧵, idk how long

Happy Arospec Awareness Week! I'm aroace, and identify specifically as Loveless! This doesn't mean I am incapable of caring for others, but I do not experience a feeling I would describe as "love." When I say I "love" something, I simply mean "I like it a lot", and I do not say I "love" anyone. 1/

Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! Make sure to check out events happening this week. www.arospecweek.org/get-involved...

*kicks in door* HOLY HELL I'M ALIVE! Happy Aromantic Awareness Week! Got a long stream today with a raid train from @thecollabhub.bsky.social coming in late tonight! Come vibe while I screw around in a deep dungeon for a while, and probably draw later! twitch.tv/altanirynsi

I actually don't care if AI was "only used to google" things or if the AI art in question was accepted or generated as an outline but not directly referenced or used. You're normalizing the usage of a useless tool which poisons Black and Brown people's backyards and hometowns

"Discord is apparently switching age verification providers to Persona due to the bypasses... which means everything they said about it being client-side and face images not being uploaded is now false"

If you care about pixel art as a medium and want to learn more about how to detect if it is genuine or AI-generated, please refer to this writeup that I created with the help of the community. Read, download, share and support real creators.

Here's the first part of our PAL-entine's Raid Train schedule! Come hang out with the Collab Hub and celebrate platonic love, friendship, and community for Valentine's Day! We'll be starting off day one with @speedysparrow.vtubers.social 💗 All times shown are EST.

My take on discord, from a viewer in many creators' communities: I am not against being multi-platform. I will readily join you off discord. If your new home is right for you and I don't have any deal-breakers about it (eg. staunch defenders of genAI), I will be there. 1/2

Currently looking into Fluxer as an alternative to Discord because I don't care if I can cheat the ID thing, I refuse to entertain them as a viable platform for my community when they're pulling this shit.

Yep. We've said this for years. They want to censor queer and other content and claim its NSFW. Some examples include Addiction help sites, sex education, black history, trans content... They have been victims before because the gov are bigots.

Even as my energy changes, my purpose doesn’t. I write to hold space; for rest, for struggle, for connection without conditions. I may move slower now, but my intention is steady: to offer a place where everyone is allowed to exist as they are. That’s something I won’t stop doing. 💖✨

For Liam.

please know when I use the ✨ emoji, I do not mean anything to do with AI. they stole my emoji from me.

Final Reveal ❄️PNG DEBUT FEB 1 2026 And with that, he's fully revealed! Thanks again to afa visuals over on VGen for the amazing art and helped my first Live2D Model com go so smoothly! Check out afa and their work! vgen.co/afavisuals #VTuber #Vsky #VTuberUprising

Yesterday was the blackout for zero work, zero shopping, and zero school. Today is part 2: the protest. Let's get out onto those streets, babies! ❤️ Dress warmly. 🧤 Shut it down. resistice.carrd.co has excellent resources to know how to start to protest safely & know your rights when it comes to ICE.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT ❄️ As part of the National Shutdown in protest of ICE's reign of terror, there will be no model reveal Friday, Jan 30. Instead the last 2 reveals will occur Jan 31st. More information about the shutdown can be found at nationalshutdown.org

Day 9 Reveal ❄️ I think he's adorable, personally! Obviously I had to make one of the expressions be for whenever Clive shows up on screen 😍 /j And with that, only 2 more days to go! More detail for the half-bodies on the way!

Day 8 Reveal ❄️ I'm on time this time! And now we have an angry lizard! Don't piss him off! He bites!

So, my Cintiq 21UX just stopped working at around 2:00 AM, today. Stopped recognizing pen input, refused to function as anything other than a monitor. This has happened before. Twice. And if it happens to you, it's fixable. Here's how. www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comm...

Many adamantoise tortoises are born in the ivory sands of La Noscea's Salt Strand. If lucky, the babies may live to see as many as 200 summers. However, that's only if they don't accidentally launch themselves off a cliff with their constant spinning.

Day 7 Reveal ❄️ HI I'M LATE SORRY! It's still the 28th here though so it's fiiiiiiine! Anyways... fangies! Yes, I got three facial expressions for him too, and one obviously had to big a big ol' smile to show off his fangies! And yes, the third hairstyle also has lore behind it! ❄️⚔️🦎

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Welcome aboard! Good to see larger players like Comic con & SFWA taking a stand against gen AI in creative work. Art show head Glenn Wooten nailed it: "More strident language is necessary: NO! Plain and simple." We couldn't agree more. Cheers to the human resistance ✊

When you help make it so the only names people know are Pretti and Good, you reinforce the culture that says these things aren't "bad enough" until white people get involved. This has been going on for a whole year. Many non-white people have died in this same way trying to protect their neighbors.

Day 6 Reveal ❄️ And just like that, he has another hairstyle too! And yes, his hair is actually that long when he takes out his ponytail!

Now more than ever, be kind to yourselves, be kind to one another, and help your neighbors however you can. "Do as you must then, but we Scions will fight. Until the heavens fall. Until our last breath!"

Day 5 Reveal ❄️ Outfit 2 time! Lore unlocked: he remembers the stories behind *almost* every scar he has... ❄️⚔️🦎

i tried to scramble to get this ready for my birthday so that everyone who participated could count -- i'm starting a ~stuff-athon~! starting tonight, i will be streaming at least a little bit every day to raise money! cause a lot has happened, and is happening, and i'm going to grind to earn it!

Day 4 Reveal ❄️ Could it be? Another outfit? Possibly more hair? You're going to have to wait and see!
