Painted this angel illustration during my mentorship with @abigbat.bsky.social in 2022. This piece really tested my skills (wings are so hard???) but I'm still really proud of the result. #art

Rules for #GhostPit 1. While this is a Halloween event, all pitches are welcome, but if your pitch is Halloween related you can use the 👻 emoji to mark it as so. 2. Absolutely NO AI allowed! AI steals from creators and is bad for the environment. AI usage can be reported to any of our hosts...

#GhostPit will be happening October 30, 2025!

The 2025 Swordtember prompt list is here! ⚔️ #swordtember

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

this survey took less than two minutes yes, it's inane. do it anyway

Haven't done an #artshare for a long time, so I feel it's about time to get one going! ✨ the usual rules apply: - post your art - be nice and supportive to each other! - no AI/no NFTs - Share this post for visibility (optional)

Stop a sec and lemme tell ya about a miracle of the internet: that this queer original fiction zine has gone on for twenty years, and you can read it for free - no subscription, no ads - purely for love of the game.

I'm tempted to do that "Make Me Write" challenge where every like boosts another X amount of words (200, 350, 500, etc). I keep fighting motivation with writing, but this particular tumblr trend also just generally sees fun.

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

Since the AI discourse is evergreen: You are losing far more than you gain with AI writing. You are losing your ability to create, to imagine. You are losing valuable skill experience that could improve your work down the line. You are losing community. You are losing marketing opportunities.
