Frustrating hearing “nobody cares” and “Americans are so disengaged”. It’s a disservice to the many, many activists and orgs who are indeed fighting to make things better. Immediate drastic change would be nice, but it’s the consistent work that actually builds longterm change. Help do that work.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

Can’t wait for the ‘mission accomplished’ banner. They should take it out of storage.

at least they're dropping the lies off the bat this time and just fully admitting they want to capitalize on the oil

begging leftists from the global north to develop a shred of curiosity and empathy towards the global south that is beyond just treating us as a rhetorical device

Why is Guyana not on this list? US backed strongman Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham to oust the head of state Cheddi Jagan because he was (sic) "too politically close to Soviet Russia"!

A lot of people are going to preface tu-tutting tweets with variants on the theme of "Maduro was no angel" and it's very important to have the moral clarity to understand that these people are the lowest form of coward imaginable

kiss me, you're beautiful - these are truly the last days

i struggle to recall the last US president who didn't aid and abet the killing or violent displacement of millions. similarly, I struggle to remember the last US president who went to jail for it

the frustrating thing is all this escalation would've happened without him, it just wouldn't have been loudly executed to offer distraction from other horrors related to him

people on the left included. clinging to the fantasy of an america which would— or ever did— dole out charity, if only it were the right people passing it down. it will not happen. not by this name, not from capitalism, not without it receiving a fraction of the terror it exports across the world.

cosmic forces...give me strength to stay awake for at least a few hours more to right my sleep schedule....

....yeah that tracks

Really worth reading the entire article and gets at a thing i hate that people do, which is go "even grok says" like its a person and not just pulling and reassembling shit from twitter and reddit

(stares at my feed)...too many of you were almost murdered....

Year of the horse

On this Rose Parade eve-eve-eve, I have brought you a silly thing I have made. This will randomly generate a list of Rose Parade floats, including the award it won, for what ("innovation in floral design"), who built the float, what it's of, and the flowers & natural materials needed to create it.

god I hope so 😭

if anything, I hope we get more weird science fantasy out of this...though hopefully not so 80s nostalgia poisoned

I guess I gotta draw Ludwig at some point this year....or Fulghor

MERRY HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉✨ I rang in the new year chilling with the bestie over discord and finishing my 40th read of 2025

A half memory clings like a scrap of flesh on carrion. Once upon a time, in another life, the path you walked was that of a…

I’m unclear about the metric for “better rep” in this instance. Oftentimes these pleas direct the narratives toward some notion of what depictions of asianness, especially diasporic ones, are more or less genuine than others, which always bugs me.

im abt to post half a year’s worth of drawings apologies in advance #bloodborne

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

WHEEZING....I'm so dead

12-year-old Nilah thought there'd be way more drawings of talking animals in her future then Sailormoon happened

WHAT DO YOU MEAN RUSTY AND RAURU HAVE THE SAME VOICE ACTOR????

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort. Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Ppl coming from other sites probably don’t kno that marking a post as NSFW doesn’t derank or lead to a shadow ban! Please mark ur stuff so I can scroll my feed in public (and know when to turn my brightness down to check ur post :3)

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

Hello new people! Glad to see more folks joining Bluesky :) If you'd like to follow more horror artists, I put together this little starter pack! Hope it's useful for newcomers! go.bsky.app/73vzeaV

I’ve curated another starter pack, this time to make it easier to find artists working in the illustration and comics fields! (If you qualify to be on this list but are not on it let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/JU83vmM

Gogo!!! If you want me to add to the list just leave me the message for soulsborn artist to find each other more faster here! 🙏🥹 go.bsky.app/SR7J2cS

I've been branching out with my lathe work and the results are available in my shop! Grab a unique handcrafted wood vessel to show off your new shiny (objects) and help some artists pay the mortgage! www.galdrecraft.com

it is heartening to see several reddit threads about turning off AI features on our phones and the threads are just full of people frustrated as hell over the shit we can't turn off

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all: Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

wait woah what happened....WHERE DID SO MANY OF YOU JUST COME FROM
