If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Went to the ER as my Halloween treat 💀 I'm doing better now, but I'll likely be unable to work for a week or two as I recover ko-fi.com/tsurudraws If you'd like to send some help my way, my kofi is here! I'm hoping treatment costs aren't too bad but just in case 💦 Shares are appreciated 🙏

Come work with me!

 We've opened the search for a full time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Game Arts at Pratt Institute. 

A good match would be an artist, game developer, or educator with an active creative practice in indie games, game studies and theory, playful coding, or art games.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own. We are crunching numbers, but it's grim. Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December. You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3 ko-fi.com/gnomedic/goa...

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff Block, move on.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

I am BEGGING you, if you are a content creator, blogger, journalist, youtuber, etc, etc PLEASE LIST AN EASY TO FIND EMAIL ADDRESS. I CAN'T SEND YOU COOL THINGS IF I CAN'T FIND HOW TO CONTACT YOU. I WANT TO SEND YOU COOL THINGS. PLEASE.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

One of the greatest things you can do right now is to actively serve your local community. Volunteer time, services, donate money, ask what you can do to help. Take training classes, stay informed, and get to know your neighbors.

The 11th(!) Gender Reveal grant cycle is now open for applications. We're particularly interested in TPOC-led collectives engaged in ongoing community work. Apply 💫 genderpodcast.com/grant 💫 If you'd like to help fund one of our no-strings-attached grants, visit genderpodcast.com/donate, tysm!

To all freelance peers who are struggling to make ends meet this year: it's not you. It's been getting tougher and tougher to get any gigs and many private clients struggle to pay their own bills. Whatever it takes for us to get through this, please don't doubt your skills and value as a creative ❤️

A decade on already?! Tune back in for a splendid Monster of the Week reunion episode! 🎉

I don’t really ever have useful creative advice. It’s always gonna be like, “Make stuff up, see what happens, pick the parts you like, then put them next to each other in different configurations until they make your brain tingly.”

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

STOP BEING AFRAID OF BEING CRINGE AND START BEING AFRAID OF BEING BORING!!!! EXPRESS YOURSELF OR YOU'LL DIE

If you haven't given feedback yet, please do. The window is small. The terms on adult content are vague enough to put so many artists at risk of arbitrary interpretation. They conflate fictional situations with real-life abuse. Ask them to revise and clarify.

I'm several months late but my quarterly Big Movie Opinion is Mickeys 17 and 18 should have kissed a little

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".
