fandom has always been built on complete sincerity. online culture has become allergic to the very notion of earnestness, and it's making fandom spaces miserable. the sooner you free yourself from the shackles of shame around sincere fannishness, the more joy you'll find

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

Every time i see that Cesar 3d printed “knife block” i wince. The design is…we’ll dangerous. the blades are exposed and stick out the back so you can just stab yourself. tiny scraps of plastic in between the serrated parts of the blade. Which eventually goes into the food. Liiiiike

No matter what I tried, or how hard i believed, i just could never feel what they did. I felt like i was missing something, why wouldnt god love me but everyone else seemed to be so sure. I grew up, i met people who were deemee “bad” by my religion, but they werent. The cracks eventually shattered

Best part of my birthday being pokemon day, is that theres always news of cool stuff to cheer me up! I remember having a black and white themed birthday and going to the store right after the party to grab it hehe

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

all money is evil except when you use it to buy beloved characters and oc stuff, that action ascends the money to sainthood

Is anyone else getting spam followed by the same account??

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Sorry to vent on main but I'm just so sick of being a grown-ass adult online who can't openly enjoy talking about or drawing sex stuff even in completely adult spaces where all minors are completely banned just because everyone has gotta be such fascist controlling fucking babies about it

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

The bouncer at a club doesn't take a picture of my ID to store forever in the back where everyone can get in and take all those identities. It's not about having to show someone you're an adult. They just want to log every fucking place you visit so they can sort you into a profile to influence.

The Discord "teen by default" shit is insane. It feels so much like corporations want everyone to be in a state of arrested development. That we should all be children they can control. That we have to be sanitized and childlike. Hating this shit so bad. Please call your reps.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

quick update, recently i was let go from the main storyboarding job i've been working for the past few years. i'm fine currently, but now my only source of income is my shop and artist alleys. i've been planning to reopen my online shop sometime in late February -

Major update, we've been let go from one of our big teams which means I will be going back to commissions full-time 😤 Losing this gig technically means losing my main source of income but I am resilient! If you cant commission but want to support ol' me I have a Kofi - ko-fi.com/antidarkheart

Highly recommend these two! They make amazing poses, and they are my go to for references!

sorry for being cringe I'm trying to enjoy being alive

Hey guys! Drawing extreme angle moufs is the bane of my existence so i made a mouth model for CSP ^_^ see reply for links!

all these "trends" popping up which are based on another single artist's work without permission, usually uncredited (i'm looking at the slap comic and the crossed out book overlay, etc.) going around are also not helping with this issue.

Create NSFW art Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like Always resist oppression

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Added it to Chrome and can verify it works, thank god

I love it when my friends tell me about their OCs and lore. "Look, I made a guy. This is why he can't ever find peace. Here's his dick"

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai
