Canvas of Scars is a collection of dark poetry, short prose, and art by a trans masc author with themes of PTSD, psychosis, and other dark subjects. It's my first art/poetry collection, and it's my own story of what I survived and the art that helped me cope 🖤 #transpoetry 🌈📚 ♿♾️📚

Anyway this is the short Youtube bots have clutched their pearls over.

The censorship and sanitizing of the internet is just really getting to me. Like bad. I've literally melted down over it. I'm tired of it.

For the record, there is no cursing. It's not explicit.

Oh no *gasp* I said the word 'sexual' 😱 or was it the even more naughty word 'desire?' Much scandalous. Very shadow ban. I am tired, Youtube. Very much so.

Great thread:

Tag - leaving Bsky soon @robot-horde.bsky.social · 4d

Since I see misinformation spread about Pillowfort often, and I think it’s a great site to join if you don’t want all your social media eggs in one basket, here’s a thread debunking common misconceptions I’ve seen over the years. 🧵

With the help of Pillowfort users, we're on our way to our funding goal for October! Support a NSFW-friendly independent platform and help keep Pillowfort's lights on: pillowfort.social/donations

Image that reads: October Funding Update: $2,240 of $7,000 (32% of the way there!)

100% of funds raised go toward keeping Pillowfort's lights on. If 238 people donate $20 by October 31, we'll reach our goal!

Hi! We're Pillowfort, a user-funded, woman-owned indie blogging platform. We're pro-2SLGBTQIA+, pro-NSFW, anti-AI, and anti-fascist.

If you enjoy platforms like Bluesky, Dreamwidth, or Mastodon, we think you'll like Pillowfort too. We don't use marketing algorithms or sell user data, generative AI is banned from our platform, and our users will always be higher priority than corporate greed.

Donate here: pillowfort.social/donations

I hope you sleep well 💜

It seems to be picking up finally now that people are mad at Bluesky and finally saw that Pillowfort is basically what they've been wanting all along 😆 I just hope people don't bring the angry stuff over there 🙈 Pillowfort is like a cozy corner of the internet.

Found you and followed BTW! I'm the same over there as most places, ShaneBlackheart

Yeah! It's really nice. I haven't been as active over the past few years, but I used to be a bit when it launched. It's cool though that I actually do get interaction on my art and stuff over there. It's just a different environment solely for creativity and just having a good time 💜

It really is! It's super chill and the most peaceful place I'm on.

It's basically like if Bluesky and Tumblr had a child, but the child is way mor progressive and competent and not corrupt 😆 It's also been around longer than Bluesky and is basically everything everyone wants, but people choose to ignore it for some reason 😅

@pillowfort.social would you like to elaborate on your ToS? You're better equipped than me.

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 22h

I feel that's a risk you take posting your stuff anywhere online, sadly. That's just the reality of posting on social media online.

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 22h

I use DaVinci Resolve too! It's a great app. I usually edit my audio in Audacity first and then import it into DaVinci for video (unless I'm making the short in Canva, which is often easier).

I really like that! I don't think it's lazy, recording lines and editing everything together is tough 💀 (as someone who's done it a lot). Plus, reusing stuff for shorts seems like the popular way to go instead of doing a whole other project.
