From Russia with Lovehoney

Scribble from last year of my oc Wilhelmina who is a Wolpertinger :D [ #ArtSky #Art #OCsky #DigitalArt #DigitalArtist #Drawing #Artwork #Illustration #OC | #furry ]

computers in the 80s were gay and computers in the 2020s are straight

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Young Mr R loves baking. So we made some chocolate cupcakes today. I then asked if he wanted to ice them. He said yes. So we made chocolate buttercream as well. Considering it must be at least 10 years since I made any kind of icing, I think we did good 😄

happy to say that i've seen a lot of fuck ICE attire and only one single harry potter cosplay so far this year at ECCC

AND YES, ALL OF THEM, 'even' (you guys need to value these vital skills more) making color palettes, a quick moodboard, or writting that stupid mail. Not only you dont need AI, but it's going to degrade all your art journey, creativity and even mental plasticity to deal with problem solving.

Aphantasia is the reason I started drawing, instead of building images on my brain I learned to build them on paper with a pencil, challenges (unless debilitating like having a stressful precarious life) bring forth creativity. Any skill you delegate to AI means you're stunting yourself.

So, hi fellas, I have aphantasia, the inability to create ANY kind of image in my brain, my eyesight also messes with my symmetry often due to see the right side a bit bigger than it should, I have VERY shaky hands, an old wrist injury and a terrible case of AUDHD. Don't believe any excuse to use AI

It is currently available from 6 places, with hopefully more to come once the distributors accept it. You've got until the end of March before it goes back up to its normal price of £1.99. Happy reading, and please share this with others who may like a copy.

It also kicked me up the butt and made me finally publish my book outside of Amazon. It's still available on Amazon, but I can't make it free there without signing up for exclusivity for 90 days. So I've left it at its usual price there, and advise you to grab a FREE copy elsewhere.

Why March? - Covid has disabled and continues to disable thousands of people - Endometriosis is one of my longest running chronic illnesses - The Indie Visible Charity Event is raising funds for brain tumour research So it felt like the perfect time to do this.

I'm delighted to announce that my poetry book is available for FREE for the rest of March. It will also be in the Indie Visible Charity Event 30th & 31st March. I know how hard it can be to explain what life is like with chronic illness. Hopefully my book will help you feel less alone.

I tried oil painting for the first time. Gravity+dyspraxia decided to remind me why I use acrylics. This poor thing tumbled off my easel four times. FOUR. And trying to get a shot of the paint on my leg was awkwardsauce. Bonus soda can scale and Princess Elora's cameo.

We’re 8 backers away from 100! Can we reach this nice milestone today?👀 If queer romance stories with gorgeous art are your thing and you think it’s important to put more of them out in the world, check out our campaign! ✨ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

I've been using captainraz since at least 2007, which is when I joined LiveJournal. I might have been using it as early as 2005, which is when I actually got the nickname. Were it a person and not a username, it would be able to drink in the US.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Social media ≡ Burn Out This is exactly why I feel so many Artists get burned out so quickly and so many younger Artists are having such a hard start getting into art or even sticking with it. The need to constantly "perform" isn't conductive to a healthy mind/body let alone just a natural upkeep.

there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

Can confirm, my username is 2001 vintage at least, when I joined LiveJournal. Might even have used it for something before then, but not before 2000. My email address is 28. I did, indeed, sign up with an academic email for Facebook in 2005 or 6.

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

The science is as over-hyped and borderline fraudulent as the ethics are thorny (and that doesn't even count the George Church, friend of Epstein angle)

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

You can bet my nature-champion anvilwrought satyr artificer Anatolilious accidentally made one of these once... "I was just trying to make another friend!"

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

Pro tip: if you're going to send someone a nonsense letter that you hope uses enough serious sounding "legal" language to be taken seriously, you should probably make sure you delete the bit at the end where ChatGPT offers to write a different version lol

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

In the UK a response of “not bad” can cover any state from “I have been bathed in the warmth of God’s light and know only bliss” to “the existential horrors of reality mean I am seconds away from caving in my own skull with this rusty pipe I found in the car park”

I'd be very interested to see the numbers on this, but have no idea where to find the data. How many women athletes must now take this test x £185 = How much money drained from women's sport funding? In order to stigmatise and exclude how many on ideological grounds?

My first thought was “Christ, the honey monster is looking rough these days”

Grimm 🐦‍⬛ ✨ Here's my Bard/Paladin emo elf... the one and only ⚔️ (He has dragon horns... but all his family is only elves hmmm???) The 13th son... him. He's my silly elf 🫣 #elf #elfenjoyers #art #dndart #dnd #ocart #ocsky #charactersheet

Just putting it out there that I wrote a book about the Ancient Greek Underworld gods and could probably be helpful in necromantic rites, for the right pay…

Sniv is great. Draws all sorts of cool stuff, big-hearted, likes trains and dinosaurs and loads of awesome things, and has a brilliant sense of humour just like mine. Therefore his brother must be pretty damn great too: let's see what we can do for him :D

Looking to get cool art? It's your lucky day because today you can do a good deed and get some delicious art of your favorite blorbo on top of that 👀 Please consider making use of Sniv's offer and contribute to a fellow queer person's safety! #LGBTQIA #Pride #QueerArt #Paleoart | #Art

Some time you just need to follow the urge to draw a silly flying ghalta for the sake of proxy creation ! Quite quick drawing but incredibly fun to do ! #art #mtgfanart

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Hello! I am once again asking for help in moving out of a toxic environment. I let my fears win last time and took down the original gofundme, but now I refuse to let fear rule my life. Just sharing helps! And thank you for taking the time in reading this gofund.me/69a3f4184

Gonna try a new thing here and see if it works. My brother needs some help raising funds to move to a safer state. For every donation to his GoFundMe I'm offering commissions equal to the amount donated. < £25 - Flat colour doodle or sticker ≥ £25 - Headshot ≥ £40 - Halfbody > £55 - Fullbody

The ‘male loneliness epidemic’ is entirely self-inflicted

my phone keeps trying to change people's surnames to their legal surnames which is bigoted against the ancient & sacred Welsh tradition of people being given surnames that refer to the name of their job, place of work, farm or car

And if you disagree you should go and read about it, instead of embarrassing yourself online by being an ignorant cunt. If you love your pet you will take the time to read about the risks, and if you're a sensible human you will understand that your pet is your responsibility.

Another day, another reminder that letting your cat outside without supervision is animal cruelty. Additionally, you're contributing to the extinction of small wildlife species.

Released this pin into the wild today! The moon is glittery and glows in the dark!

This thread has made my day.

Happy #WorldBookDay2026. The French writer and philosopher Voltaire once said 'Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.' 📚 He also drank up to 50 cups of coffee a day, often mixed with chocolate. I think we're onboard with this.

Happy #worldbookday Me: DO YOUR SILLY CAT RHYME BOOK YOU NINNY

All these companies are like "We can't just turn these chatbot services off," really, I'm old enough to remember Vine

March YCH is here!! Thought a little picnic might be cute. Also happy to replace the grapes with any other food btw. 🍇 #VGenOpen vgen.co/XanthouranSo...

These are only gonna be loose and unrefined, I'm using them as warmups. I find with digital I get too tempted to polish them and finish them, so it's kinda nice to try something and forget about it You can see how rendering carries most of my artwork, I am shockingly bad at actually drawing
