Late night migraine.. ___ #cuteart #cuteillustration #illustration #イラスト #beadoverse

I saw a post once that was like If you would give an artist $1 for art that's locked away, but wouldn't if the art was free, you're not supporting the arts, you're paying to keep it away from others and that really stuck with me

Oh no.. ___ #cuteart #cuteillustration #illustration #イラスト #beadoverse

pretty much the best feeling in the world to have someone find joy and distraction in something you made

I'm very aware of the world burning around us, but I am also holding space to focus on and talk about the stuff I love, because I refuse to let those holding the matches burn that away too.

Your dumb comics (no matter how dumb) can help someone through a difficult time. I got a clear and moving reminder of that in Portland from a reader I met outside of the context of the con. It's that kind of town. Don't give up. Keep making your dumb comics!

Where do artists post nowadays? 🤔

Meta confirms they plan to add tons of AI-generated users to Facebook and Instagram They will have bios, profile pics and can share content (via Financial Times)

I always hated this attitude of being told you're enjoying something "wrong" if you're critical of it at the same time. as if the only correct way to enjoy media is to shut your brain off and not think about it lol

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Me: It doesn't have a tail, so I'm pretty sure it's a hamster. Tech support: “sigh” Fine. Right click on your hamster...

It's funny that nowadays any really serious hobby eventually leads to you using and mastering spreadsheets.

Life would be so much easier if we all had a video game health bar above our heads letting everyone know how close we are to a serious health episode or dying

"that piece of art or design looks so simple, so easy — i could have done that." 👏 BUT 👏 👏 YOU 👏 👏 DIDN'T 👏

More resources are starting to come into the atproto dev ecosystem. “We don’t have to all fit inside the same, one-size-fits-all app,” Wang said. “The whole point of the protocol is to build many different kinds of apps, and let a lot of different kinds of user experiences flourish.”

Being able to pin a feed to my homepage without following everyone on the list is a genuinely useful and awesome feature. Google+ was ahead of its time with circles (IYKYK) but this is the next best thing for curating multiple feeds.

Todays gentle reminder: let people enjoy things

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

When you're stuck with your art it sometimes just needs a little hint. Like an inspiring shape, a cool object or a random artwork in your timeline. And sadly this can't be forced. But I like the idea that it can happen anytime. Maybe right now. Or now.

Festivities really highlights your loneliness and lack of connection..

Social media fatigue is very strong at this time of the year..
