Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

Add on to this the lack of places to actually go to be "logged off" because they make them inaccessible to people unless you have money or plan on buying something. No one masks and the only free third space anymore is the library.

Time to dust this one off again

even if you are completely powerless, keeping hope alive is valuable, no matter what. please keep living. please keep caring. please keep believing that we can make things better.

If a person of color tells you you're probably being racist, listen to them. If a disabled person tells you you're probably being ableist, listen to them. If a trans person tells you you're probably being transphobic, *fucking* listen to them.

If you are a USian who thinks the US should not be carrying out some kind of military coup...thing...in Venezuela, you can support related mutual aid projects, like Distribute Aid (and follow @distributeaid.org for more suggestions) bsky.app/profile/bord...

now more than ever:

Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico don’t appear to be backing Maduro, but they also do not support Trump’s unilateral military action in Venezuela. Meanwhile, a larger second wave of strikes, including boots on the ground, appears to be on the table as the Venezuelan VP resists U.S. demands.

If Congress fails to hold Trump et al to account for this, what is there practically to stop them from trying to do the same to Greenland, Mexico, Colombia, or Canada?

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

sorry not sorry

Every time one of my mutuals with a larger follower count reposts my stuff I get work, sales, followers. Even smaller accounts sharing my stuff directly translates to making my life more financially secure. If you're ever wondering if your reposts count, they absolutely do.

okay everyone. what did we learn.

sometime in 2022 (i would not realize this until later but it was actually the second time i was diagnosed. except i was not around the previous time)

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

my game, Project RyME, is 66% off for the steam winter sale. you might enjoy it if you like puzzles, computers, hacking, jrpgs, or talking to dorks on discord store.steampowered.com/app/2222930/... (it's also on itch dot io) qwarq.itch.io/project-ryme

This is why you gotta be careful what you say in people's chats. IDC if the streamer allows it, it's still a public fucking chat, bro. You don't need to be saying some of that shit. Istg some people's children ain't being taught how to act.

Dear creative community, Please don't feel obligated to apologize for lack of content, or regular content. You're human beings with lives, take care of yourselves first.

A little thank you 🐾🤍

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

We hope you have a Wonderful #MutualAidMonday! This is our Mutual Aid Thread for the Week of December 20th. If you're in need, post here, we try to share at least twice a day. If you have no need, please consider sharing! docs.google.com/document/d/1... #mutualaid #helpsky 💸💕

Setting up animation rigs is serious business

A collection of all the little experimental animations I made of my sharkfolk ocs, an attempt to explore a little of their personality, especially how silly Roberto is! 🦈✨ I confess that it's a lot of work... at some point I'll finish and color all these animations, I hope. #shark #sharkfolk

I finally finished this silly animation sketch. The Tidebay city still has old houses that aren't adapted to all of the sharkfolk's heights, which means Roberto's clumsiness has some consequences! 💫

Consider making 2026 the Year of the Personal Website. Even a little thing on Neocities works. It’s just nice to have a home base on the internet that you don’t have to deal with bsky mods are random popping into every post and if something goes wrong with your host, you just move it elsewhere
