Hi y'all, quick PSA that I've changed my user and display name from SpringRain to Austra! Haven't changed my pfp cause it's still on theme (Austra is an oc of mine that I'm turning into a persona), just wanted to give people a heads up regardless!

Please please please do this. Companies absolutely will try to sneak it in if they can get away with it. Only enough public backlash and loss of revenue will deter them

I think I finally am cracking the code on this 3D-Ghibli stuff. I watched an amazing tutorial on the trees from @AversionReality
that really helped me understand shader nodes way better.

I'm also using assets from @Reipart_
(The grass) and @FaruqTawsif
(The flowers).

I set up my Ko-Fi voice over commissions page! ko-fi.com/amtrax/commi...

I have options for per-line commissions (up to 15 lines) and hourly commissions. So if you want me to record a dumb meme for you, narration for your Youtube video, character shoutouts, etc, this is the place to do it!

Bluesky, please help this find its audience! I'm looking for contacts who are fellow insurance regulators, specifically in and around New York state. I am job hunting and wish to make connections! I've been in insurance since 2010 and in regulation since 2016.

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Srsly. Signal-boost, like/comment. And a big part of that support?

If they made something you like, buy it.

Independent artists aren't Wal-Mart; you can't just come back next week and expect what you were looking at to still be available for sale.

If you couldn’t attend a No Kings event but want to do something to resist and help an ICE target… sign the petition for Rodney Taylor.

He’s a disabled double amputee who’s been held for months in ICE custody.

He was days away from receiving
new legs when he was taken.

Sign the Petition

Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

Happiness is just the byproduct.

IF SHARING MY CREATIONS DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY... WHY DO I FEEL SO COMPELLED TO DO IT?

BECAUSE THE MOTIVATION
BEHIND THESE ACTS OF SHARING...
...HAS NEVER BEEN FLEETING HAPPINESS.

IT'S TO MAKE THE INTERNAL EXTERNAL.
TO SEE IF YOUR WORK CAN SURVIVE OUTSIDE YOURSELF. IT'S BIGGER THAN JOY.

IT'S COMMUNICATING IN A LANGUAGE OF YOUR OWN MAKING, AND SEEING WHO ELSE CAN CONNECT TO IT. CHATS WITH THE VOID

They are purposefully trying to make technology look like magic to you

It’s wholly understandable but they don’t want you to understand it

Microsoft, Apple, big tech, they want you to be computer illiterate
