And now I've come back to being a victim of the "invalid handle" bug and it won't go away? Am I essentially shadowbanned by yet another social media...great

So...I haven't been on here for months because I had to uninstall the app; I frequently run out of space because I have too many cat pics/vids. Not a joke. Forgot about desktop... But... I have a new monster girl campaign live now!! #digitalart #oc #monstergirl www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

This one is important. Share it widely. "Contrary to conventional wisdom, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed those in 2017, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful." wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer...

Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

Mikio's birthday was last week...of course on the day I posted about Sayaka's 🤧 Mikio doesn't have ID or sprite art yet, only art in the PV coming up for the game later this year, which I don't want to share. So happy birthday in spirit, my guy. 🥲 He's a late-introduced main/side character. #gamedev

I had probably a collective 10hrs of sleep last weekend (Colossalcon), so while I kept telling myself to post about her birthday, I still forgot...🥲 happy 22nd, Sayaka. 💉💜 #indiedev #indiegamedev #otomedev #amaredev #amaregame #otomegame #horrorgame #ocart #oc #videogameart

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

I will be debuting a ridiculous number of new shaker designs at #colossalcon this month. I procrastinated way too long and whipped up most of the artworks in a span of 72hrs. Excited to show them off on my new table display! #animecon #animeconvention #neurodivergent #graphicdesign #artistalley

This is Plum, about 2 and a half years ago he turned up on our back porch, with a broken hip. Luckily we managed to save his leg and we've kept him indoors with us ever since. I try not to play favorites but he's my favorite. 💖 (even though he's CRAZY) @midnightsprings.bsky.social #rescuecat #cats

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

Happy 19th birthday, Hanako! Hanako is one of Toshiro's possible LI in Apocalyptic Dream. She was a childhood friend of theirs...until a catastrophic incident. She's hiding a lot of secrets, but still wants to be there for the twins. #indiedev #vndev #otomegame #amaregame #amaredev #horrorgame

I made it in time!!! Happy birthday to Kyoko's late husband, Sousuke. 🥀 While it was a whirlwind romance, it was very cherished. Sprite art as always by @sasamekuh.bsky.social but I died a little drawing his tattoos myself lol #otomegame #indiedev #indiegame #vndev #amaredev #horrorgame #otomedev

My carpal tunnel has been flaring up like crazy for a few days now, so I might be a day late with Sousuke's ID post (today is his birthday) 😔

If you're in LA please consider going to this protest. A little time could save lives. 📅 Monday, April 28 🕒 From 3 PM 📍 200 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles

My calendar alert DID work for Kei, and it IS his birthday today! Kei is Airi's boyfriend, they are both main characters who get backstory chapters. They are deeply in love. His sprite is not yet finished. #otomegame #otomedev #amaregame #indiedev #horrorgame #otome #vndev #visualnovel

I have been so busy with art deadlines that I forgot Arisa's birthday since my calendar alert didn't work 😓 Arisa is one of Toshiro's LIs and Kyoko's younger sister. She is so far one of the fan favorites. #otomegame #otomedev #amaregame #indiedev #horrorgame #otome #vndev #visualnovel

📣🚨 PSA 📣🚨 💙📚🩸 Reminder that I curate a "No-AI/LLMs" Indie Horror Publisher Starter Pack & Feed List for indie horror pubs that have strict No-AI policies & promise to never use or accept AI/LLM Writing OR Artwork #booksky Starter Pack: go.bsky.app/UwgWqLc Feed List: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Mocha 🤎 I wish they could stay babies forever, she's already around 3. She is just one of the nearly half-dozen cats who just showed up on our back porch half-dead over an 18 month period at our last address. #cats #cat #rescue #animalrescue #tortoiseshell #tortie

I'm sorry, what?! Also, I'm losing my mind over the proliferation of this term "publicly accessible" in the context of AI training. Copyright law still exist, sharing something to be VIEWED by the public doesn't strip the work of its legal protections!

Love the game of "is it a sudden anxiety attack, or is it my POTS". Either way, my heart is racing, I'm stressed out, and I'm nauseous. I think I'm going to have to start assuming it's both

I am too busy with my existing project, but I was thinking of pitching a group project idea to Backerkit for funding of game jam VNs: people participate with just their recent game jam submissions if they made them with eventual commercial use in mind. Idk. #indiedev #vndev #backerkit

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry

Got some goodies in the mail! That big red sticker is going on my car right next to my pride caduceus @midnightsprings.bsky.social is the artist and should have plenty more goodies in store! Check em out at midnightsprings.uwu.ai

It feels kind of insensitive to have to continue to peddle my art when we are already in WW3, but I don't have any other means of working so I'm just going to continue to have to until it isn't possible anymore 🥲

Hi, I run the new business Cryptic Compendium. I'll mostly post my cats but this is also a business acct! My shop isn't ready yet but I have a backerkit project launching in 2 months! #smallbusiness #cats

my spring shop update is now live! 🌸 shopglitchbat.com/collections/... [ #glitchbatmerch ]

Hey everyone... get off X/Twitter. It is now OWNED and in FULL CONTROL of an a/i company. As if being run by a nah-tzee wasn't already reason enough to leave, now it is certainly the next a/i training database. Don't give it to them freely! www.wired.com/story/xai-x-...

We need every branded account to start developing crass strategies for bullying Elon Musk for easy clout. Chum the water. I don’t approve of brands but if the Charmin account tells him to put a gun in his mouth and that’s the thing that does it I’m exclusively buying that toilet paper for life.

Have a Backerkit account? Love monster girls? Vote here to help determine my unlock order for my summer pin campaign: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m... (Some designs are still being edited a bit, and a couple aren't in the poll) #enamelpins #oc #monstergirl #pastelgoth #yamikawaii #altfashion

hello. i made a shirt design for myself to wear everyday of 2025 #art

The whole reason I switched to my current Medicare Advantage plan is because it was supposed to fill any prescriptions I'm given at no cost. Well my script for 90 lamotrigine was first shortened to 30 in Feb requiring monthly refills, and now my insurance doesn't cover it AT ALL. Thanks I hate it!!

Time to step up, allies. It only takes a minute.

Allies, time to show up. Kickstarter has an update that is doxing and deadnaming folks. Instead of just giving a verified badge, creators' legal names are displayed below their display names. This is a dangerous update. Email [email protected]. Make them walk it back.

I'm excited to more properly introduce Airi and Kei when their sprites are done. For main game MCs they are the only pre-established couple (Mitsuki and Chiaki are technically side chars). They have a special place in my heart, and I loved designing their clothes/aesthetics to complement eachother!

HBD to both Airi and Daisuke! Airi is a main character in Apocalyptic Dream, one of Mikuru's best friends. Toshiro hates her. Daisuke's a MC of the same DLC as Kiyo + Kyoko's late husband's best friend. #indiedev #horrorgame #horrorgamedev #indiegamedev #otomegame #amaregame #vndev #visualnovel

The world's on fire but I'm still hoping to have these septum rings in stock by Colossalcon ;; so if you're interested in preordering, please consider doing so here: mini-cat-paw-printed-gacha-pin-collection.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... I've got clip-ons and 16G available! #jewelry #altfashion

Omg I'm so sorry Takuto, I am a whole week late this time 😭 HBD!! Takuto Hirashima is a possible love interest for Mikuru in Apocalyptic Dream. He's in the "Robotics" (formerly Occult) Club with Mikuru at their university before the outbreak. #amare #amaregame #otomegame #indiedev #vndev #otomedev

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too. But it may not go well if you just shut them in and call it a day, you need to commit to giving them an enriched indoor environment with lots of play. felineengineering.com/blog/indoor-...
