Chains of Ahmsara is a visual novel I'm making about a (literal) dad named Rudra who was turned into a binturong against his will. He meets Sev, a free-spirited elephant mage who has the power to turn him back but refuses causing Rudra to chain him down until he does

Oh my God this.

You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

By @nokemy.bsky.social !!!!!!
Andrew was in the middle of a little party, center of attention and clearly more popular than anyone would have expected.

Then someone, a Cornerian, perhaps someone with a grudge against his uncle rolled up and was aiming to get him while he was all tied up.

Nice try.

Andrew Oikonny in a skinsuit covered in sweat, cum, spit, and bite marks. Filled and tied up condoms are tied to his thigh, tail, forearm and neck. Andrew himself is in an action pose, gun in his left hand. Fluids are in motion to show he just moved into those pose while a gold light trail lags behind the path his eyes moved.

It's implied that Andrew was in the middle of some sexual shenanigans before being interrupted.

When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

You were never going to do that.

You can JUST become a martial artist.

Stop thinking you’re “too old”.
It’s such a killer. Just take care of yourself, drink water, stretch, and just eat a vegetable every once in a while.

There is SO MUCH you can still do.

If anything else, working in banking while being a furry has taught me that no upper executive of a fortune 500 company has the creativity, business intuition, social skills, economic and financial understanding, or solid work ethic that it takes to be a freelance porn artist.

Failure is a natural part of learning ANYTHING. Don't tangle it up with your self worth and identity.

InkyInGreen 🍂 @blackwallmancer.bsky.social · 8d

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Thinking about how democrats have the easiest opportunity to blast national TV with "Trump's ICE agents are tear gassing elementary schools" but they won't because they are worried it would upset a voter they invented in their head that is exactly 60% liberal but also 45% racist

if you want young queers to want to associate with elder queers then maybe the culture shouldn't be so ridiculous and over the top. I get second hand embarrassment from drag queens and leather daddies and kinksters in puphoods acting like they represent all gays

I would much rather be represented by drag queens, leather daddies and pups than by petulant cowards afraid of their own reflection. You are talking about people who never had the option of being seen as "normal people who just happen to be gay" and channeled their pain into self expression, community and art. And who are you? You define yourself not in terms of who you are and what you create but in terms of who you are not and what you lack. These people you hate only seem larger than life because your life is too small and insignificant to fit them.
