time for my semiregular reminder that being good at drawing sex scenes does not in fact make you good at drawing fight scenes and they're actually completely different skill sets

This is amazing news, good job everyone!! It also shows that these things are never one and done. Gotta be ready for when they bring it back because they will.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 23h

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

wyllach is a thing in my canon, so aly and wyll very rapidly teamed up in the end to convince karlach that he'd be with her in avernus. aly squeezed her arm as hard and quick as she could and hugged wyll hard before they disappeared. it was sad and stressful and hopeful. but karlach lived.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

Protect the land that inspired this page.

A page from Kate Beaton’s “Ducks”. Five panels, in panel 1 we see Kate’s feet on the beach at the edge of the water. In panel 2 we see a wave wash over her feet. In Panel 3 we see a zoomed out image of the shoreline, beautiful and calm, wild and undeveloped, Kate is still standing at the shore, dwarfed by the landscape. In panel 4 we see Kate looking up and shielding her eyes against the sun with her arm. In panel 5 we see her perspective, a seagull crossing the disc of the sun.

It's Clover's birth month 🍂🦊
He doesn't know the day, but he's sure of the time of year-- when the frosts begin to creep in.

✥ #bg3 #clover

A young man with long, wild red hair and fox ears perches on a tree branch, framed by the fire-colored leaves of October. He wears a green cloak that intertwines among the branches almost as if it's a part of them. The man is cast partially in shadow and gazes at the viewer uneasily with tired, wary eyes.

Welcome to my Chaos Garden.

Early release for patrons, post goes public next week.

Photo of a cluster of seed pods on a "common mullein" plant stem. Erika has digitally drawn over some of the split open seed pods to make them look like little Muppet faces and added word balloons so they're singing the theme song to The Muppet Show, "It's time to play the music / It's time to light the lights / It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight!"

Oh Joy Sex Toy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social · 2d

Showering with somebody else is already such an intimate, vulnerable action, but when your body dysphoria is at full alert it becomes an impossible ask. @qqnge.bsky.social tells a tender story about navigating that discomfort and finding connection.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/suds-n-kisse...

Suds & Kisses by Ange Friera, published 10/21/2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/suds-n-kisses-ange-friera

Ange Friera draws with a a thin, textured line and uses a color palette primarily of browns, oranges, and grays- except for later in the story when the colors shift to blues, pinks, and maroons.

The view starts outside of a residential building, just barely showing a person sitting on their couch on the other side of the window. The point of view jumps to the main character, who is looking at the TV remote in their hand, with the cuff of their thick brown hoody pulled up to their wrist.

"Oh, it's out!" From behind their shaggy red hair, the viewer sees that the main character has a movie menu open on their wide TV screen.

"'The Maestro'?" Calls a voice from the next room.

"Yeah, c'mere!" The red-headed person replies, gesturing at the screen. For the first time we can see that they are a non-binary masc person with a light orange skin tone, round eyes, and multiple facial piercings and wearing a big thick hoody. They are holding a throw pillow against their chest while browsing the offerings on TV.

"Oh, shoot. Hold on!" The voice from the other room calls back.

Now popping their head in through the door with a towel slung over their shoulder, they continue, "I wanna shower first. Wait for me?" They have black hair that swoops over and past their shoulder, with the sides of their head shaved. Their skin tone is slightly darker than the other character's, and their eyes are almond-shaped.

"Only if you don't take forever!" Laughs the red head.

Cautiously, the black haired person offers, "You know... You're always welcome to join me. ...If you're feeling up for it."

"O-oh." The red head hugs their pillow more tightly to their chest, a nervous expression falling over their face. "..I don't know..." Beads of sweat roll down their cheek.

From off panel, the red head continues, "I just... don't feel comfortable in my body yet... Maybe after the surgery...?"

"Hey, hey..." The black haired partner interjects, waving their hands quickly as if to wave away their initial suggestion. "It's alright, baby. Don't worry about it." They're trying to be reassuring but their brows are knitted.

From their tight little ball on the couch, the red head replies, "... Okay..." without making eye contact.

"I'll be quick!" The partner says, blowing a little kiss before disappearing through the door.

A pink banner unfurls across the bottom of the page, stating "Read the rest on OhJoySextoy.com"
