This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

If you didn’t care to write the book, why should I care to read it? If you didn’t care to make the game, why should I care to play it? If you didn’t care to paint the piece, why should I care to appreciate it? If you don’t care at all, why should anybody else?

Summer is around the corner and soon you'll read a bunch of posts about how every man should have a pair of loafers. I don't think anyone needs anything, but if you're shopping for a pair, let me show you how to think about loafers. This applies to any wardrobe item. 🧵

Happy World Book Day! We've got some adorable & unique bookmarks to help power your summer reading goals 📖🔖 #WorldBookDay #reading #bookmarks #booksky

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

Excerpt from latest studies

✨Commission info✨ Shares are very appreciated! 🙏 Im open for february work! Please contact me via vgen or email me examorhca@gmail⭐com (⭐→.) #artcommission #vgenopen #vgencomm

so many of my art moots and friends are going through a rough time right now, and i just wish i could do more. I definitely know how they feel, i have depressed episodes often. i hope they know how much they and their work contribute to the world. i hope they know that they are worthy and loved.

The first quarter is drawing to a close today (🤢) and I feel like I have so much to reflect on. At the end of 2025, I felt really out of love with the world and pretty lost. I started doing a lot of work to gather about who I was as a person (I didn’t know anymore), and, to my surprise, worked. 🧵

Been seeing a lot of tweets about whether pleats are back. Are they "in" or "out?" Are they modern or old? Personally don't like this line of thinking, as it's driven by ready-to-wear trends, which forces you to update your wardrobe every decade. Let me give you another way to think about pleats. 🧵

Instead of watching anything related to the terf supreme series, watch the Witch Hat Atelier anime streaming in 2 weeks for a well thought out magic education universe with complex characters and an author who continues to support LGBT causes. Better yet read the manga for the most stunning art

I drew Oswald from Rune Factory 5 for this collab! 💎🪶💜 For my thoughts and headcanons about him, check out my post on Tumblr! www.tumblr.com/darkacey/812...

Arthur Wesley Dow was a painter, printmaker, teacher, and photographer. However, he's best known for the quote "realism was the death of art." I think about that quote every time y'all put a video game NPC close-up with individual eyelashes or the latest live-action Disney thing in my skyline.

I really did it!!!! I really really finished a book with my ADHD haha Pre-order at your local book store or at adhd-alien.com :))) releasing Sept 15

Sometimes I let the "you wouldn't have ADHD if you spent more time outside" get to me and I do wonder, but can confirm I still have ADHD when I go outside.

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service! If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤

"Housenka" (The Last Blossom) movie by Baku Kinoshita (Odd Taxi) is coming in French theaters on May 27 as "Le Dernier Souffle d'un Yakuza" (The Last Breath of a Yakuza).

BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it. You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result. Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

I so understand when people aren't feeling one of their own specific pieces (we can't only make bangers) but it IS genuinely exhausting being around creatives who are always self-deprecating. In a world with much negativity, the least we can do is be proud of our own work, as much as we can. (+)

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe. Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.

The 3rd game completed for the Rune Factory 20th Anniversary Collaboration! The most recent game to have come out: Guardians of Azuma! Credits in the comments! #runefactoryguragiansofazuma #runefactory #guardiansofazuma #rfgoa

amazing impression! #tgcf

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️. But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

Last day to order!!

Here you go! I hope this one catches on a little too!

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

NOW is the time to make calls to your reps about KOSA, SCREEN act, section 230 and more Call your legislators. Speak to office aides. Leave messages. Do so every day. Be loud and annoying. Get family and friends to join in. www.congress.gov/members/find...

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

I drew Ondorus for this collab!! It's been so fun being a part of this project 💕

Rune Factory 3 is the 2nd game to be completed in the Anniversary collab. There's little characters left, and I'm so amazed at all the artists in this game series. #runefactory3 #rf3 #runefactory Credits in the comments.

My 2nd piece for the Rune Factory Anniversary collab — Sakaki! Hands down THE most difficult peepaw I had to draw EVER 😭😭 trying to get his face shape right + that head angle had me dead y’all #art #fanart #runefactory #RFGoA

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

if you live in Wicsonson, theyre trying to push through an insanely restrictive Age Verification law that would make it illegal for an ADULT to use a VPN to access "material harmful to minors" contact your legislators NOW

BLUESKY, DISCORD AND ITS ALTERNATIVES, YOUR ART SITES, YOUR ADULT SITES, FANFICTION ALL OF IT DIES WITHOUT SECTION 230 GET CALLING #savespeech #stopcensorship #section230 #defendsection230 #defends230

time to be loud about this terrible decision. discord.com/company-info...

@discord.com do not implement this policy. I do not trust *any* site to securely verify my information, and frankly it is patronizing to police people when the platform has been fine for years without this bs.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Some Ikaruga and Fubuki hot spring art to warm everyone up on the last day of January ♨️❄️ #ikaruga #fubuki #guardiansofazuma #runefactoryguardiansofazuma #rfgoa #azuma #ikarubuki #fubuika #runefactory
