Recharge, December is my birth month and the holidays mean my summertime sadness will soon disappear (summer is draining for me and a sensory hell)

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

OC-tober 9: Angst

CW: Blood, Vent Art

There's a lot about myself I don't say, because I don't want to disturb anyone with what I've been through.

There will be a day where I tell my story, but that won't be for a long time.

#oc_tober2025 #oc_tober #art #bskyart #artsky #OC #originalcharacter

A drawing of a tortured Alice, with torn wings, a chain on her wrist, and spider webs constricting her neck.

There is a text that reads: "I don't want to forget the truth, even if it hurt. I just want to forget YOU. But knowing you're alive makes it impossible to forget."

Of course you'd win, after all, you work with that color palette a lot :P

(is Ely having the trans colors a coincidence or not?)

OC-tober 3: Opposite Personality!

Zee is normally a sleepy, low energy zombie who loves to sleep. (Hence why I named him Zee, as in "catching z's)

An opposite Zee would be bright, colorful, loud, and high energy!

#oc_tober #oc_tober2025 #art #bskyart #artsky #oc #originalcharacter

A drawing of Zee with a swapped personality. Instead of his usual sleepy demeanor, this version of Zee has bright colors, and an energetic personality. The drawing shows Opposite-Zee sticking his tongue out and doing a metal hand sign.

OC-tober 1: Redesign An Old OC!

Alice, being my mascot and all, is my oldest OC, and while I don't think she needs a redesign, I'll gladly make a simplified version for all the peeps who wanna draw her!

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will legitimately face homelessness.

I have been working for over a year to keep a roof over our head, freelance since February due to leaving an extremely toxic job.

Absolutely INSANE use of passive voice in this CNN piece

just incredible

@katmabu.bsky.social “landed on the ground” during the protest???

At least one other person, who identified herself on social media as Kat Abughazaleh, a former journalist also running for Congress, landed on the ground during that same protest after she was pushed by a federal law enforcement agent in a camouflage uniform wearing a full face covering, sunglasses and a helmet, video by CNN affiliate WBBM showed.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Raids like these will never fix a broken immigration system. What we need are real and humane pathways to citizenship, not storm troopers laying siege to people in their own homes.
