A kingfisher made from a circular saw blade, paint pen, and spray paint. I sketched it, Echo cut it out and added the copper eye, and I painted it. This was a gift, but we'd love to make more birds like this! What birds would you want to see?

politeness politics has always been a cudgel to beat down victims for not being polite enough while people with power do active harm

In an ancient kingdom lived a black hound, not just a guardian but a wizard’s familiar. He bore a magical charm on his chest and understood human speech. His loyalty was endless - even after his master’s death, he remained by the throne, guarding his legacy. #dnd #ttrpg #gaming #mtg

Another bad brain night. Why is being alive so difficult?

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

Ive been able to keep some of the anxiety and ruminating thoughts at bay but holiday stress sure loves to bring them all back out!

Made a page on my website with instructions on how to disable AI features for a variety of services (mainly the ones I encounter at the moment, will append to the list as I go). The list so far includes Github, Google Services, Firefox and DuckDuckGo. kokorobot.ca/site/remove_...

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Welp I just got some pretty bad (but not yet catastrophic) news from my doctor. 2025 had a few more hits to get in apparently.

Im so glad my mom is not republican but she still is a boomer and just tried to convince me that billionaires "earned their money".

I hate this joke, more and more, every single year.

What I really want everyone, not just folks in New York, but EVERYONE to come away with from this, is that ANY of these motherfuckers can be challenged. Their stance in the status quo is THAT flimsy, and their grip is fucking FRAGILE. We CAN change this shit, dude

Ive been trying to be more social & feel secure but my self confidence has been in the shitter lately!

Yall NEED to go vote. I literally do not care if you feel anxious or its hard to make time or, and this better not be you, "there will be enough votes it will be fine" We all watched as the current president beat who we -thought- would win by a tiny margin. DON'T BE THE ONE TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

Despite finding clowns really creepy I binged all of the modern "It" content over the weekend. It had the opposite expected effect, I really like Pennywise!

I just overheard a commercial for a "faith based health insurance". Are people literally PAYING for thoughts and prayers?

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?” No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

and then people have the audacity to claim it's because you're not trying. your life flashes before your eyes. you are forced to internalize the reality that you trying your goddamned best is other people's version of "not trying at all"

Hey So this is capitalism trying to take a foothold in our community. They see a market, and they want a piece. If they get one, they'll want more, they'll start trying to show up at cons to sell us garbage They'll insert plants into our community (which I bet are already here now) --->

Working on some pixel art for a re-work of Donsol(card game). This project is going to be my focus in the coming weeks :>. 100r.ca/site/donsol.... #game #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

Dealing with a tooth infection and a cold at the same time sure is fun! Someone euthanize me plz

Do not watch the HBO series. Do not buy wizard game (2). I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

Baby’s first dental emergency. Oww 🤕. Fucking luxury bones are so expensive to fix.

CPTSD is such a bitch. I want to be social, make new friends & connect with old ones but my brain just won't shut up about how 'dangerous' it is.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like. I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

As someone on the spectrum, I can tell you, people don't want unapologetically weird, they want socially acceptable quirky.

*taps sign*

U2, Weird Al or The Cranberries

Nooo i just accidentally wiped the SD card that had my 3ds custom firmware & roms on it.

IDK who needs to hear this today, but you do not need intimate knowledge of ANYTHING, not even fundamentals, to draw. You dont need to be an expert to just doodle and do your thing. No matter where you are on your journey - YOU ARE AN ARTIST.

My partner released a new album on Bandcamp today, entitled Ver'Iytsl. All of their work serves to illustrate different parts of the Neauismetica, a world that they created :>. The music is harsh, dancy, and damn fun to listen to! Support them if you can! aliceffekt.bandcamp.com/album/veriytsl

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Don’t use it. Ever.

Radiohead is coming back! Maybe 2025 is salvageable after all!

AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

I am going to say this again: Surviving is enough and it does not require beaming every single little hateful thing the American Nazi Party is doing directly into your brain. Shits fucked, you know it’s fucked, you don’t have to look, you just have to keep going.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

This is heartbreaking and is particularly sinister because paypal is partnered with Patreon as a processor for which creators can be paid out, INCLUDING us 18+ creators. I know that paypal is the only game in town in some regions but I really don't understand how patreon sees this as an ok setup

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.
