here's a reminder that discord has adopted a new arbitration policy, which means you have under 30 days to opt out of it

Opt-out. You can decline this Agreement to Arbitrate-and no other provision of these terms-by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of September 29, 2025 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, Discord also will not be bound by it and there shall be no arbitration agreement existing between you and Discord, whether under these or prior arbitration provisions. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you may exercise your right to a trial by jury or judge, as permitted by applicable law, but any prior existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes will not apply to claims not yet filed. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you will not be opting out of any other provision of these terms and you agree to be bound by all other provisions of these terms, which shall remain in effect as allowable by law

"Hi Firepaw!" 👋

[ #warriorcats #myart #comic ]

Panel 1:
*Rustle Rustle*
Firepaw jolts in surprise as Yellowfang looks over with a scowl.
Panel 2:
Firepaw turns with a nervous look; Yellowfang narrows her eyes.
Panel 3:
Bluestar and Tigerclaw stand angrily over Firepaw, who cowers guiltily and Yellowfang who glares at them.
Panel 4:
Firepaw waves sheepishly. "Oh...um...Hi."
Panel 5: Bluestar towers over with an angry, unimpressed look. Behind her, Graypaw pokes his head out and waves, saying "Hi Firepaw!" Tigerclaw snaps at him and growls "Silence!" while Willowpelt looks on with uncertainty and Darkstripe looks out with a wicked grin.

Top: Colored sketch of my sea elf D&D character, Etlas smiling and holding two swords with a speech bubble saying "Hey!! Come watch me juggle these swords!!!" and a smaller speech bubble below saying "Etlas, no..."

Bottom: An uncolored sketch of Etlas sitting with cuts on his face, looking upset. Standing before him pressing a cloth to the cuts is his dwarf bf Sylvain. Above are the following speech bubbles:

E: "The guy in town made it look so easy..."
S: "I know."
E: "...Can I try agai--"
S: "No."

REMEMBER THIS: Unlike Twitter / X, Instagram, etc, BLUESKY DOES NOT FUNCTION ON AN ALGORITHM!

This means that your Reshares will really help posts get to more people, it truly makes a difference! Don't be afraid to reshare posts- Unlike on Twitter / X you will NOT get shadowbanned / punished! 👀👍✨

The bsky rt:like ratio was pretty firmly 1:4 for a while but there's definitely a shift happening towards 1:5.

Populate your profile with the things you love, especially if those things are artists!
