Damn, re-setting up my OBS stuff really took longer than I thought (was wanting to stream today but now I changed my mind lol)

I'm gonna go bike for a bit teehee

Update for #BlueUmbrielStreams finally!!

I am still dealing with a couple of things, but it's not as bad compared to last week (lol), so I may stream soon this week if not a bit next week!!!!

I really want to get back into art streams, so tbh it's just a matter of time and energy on my part lol

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. 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.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

There is some taxes and stuff included in the full funds (I'm looking at it rn as I'm typing this) but it should be $449! (shipping is free for this one yippeeee)

Maria Jonina 🌃✨ VGen Comm Sale!!! @blueumbriel.bsky.social · 5d

Cuz if I'm going to be getting another one that will be long term, I might as well go for the one that's been rather positive to artists (kind of expensive though, but I'm sure it will be worth it 😭)

For now, looks like I just gotta use my keyboard

Tis what it isssss

So my shortcut pad (tartarus) died lmfao

I tried everything, from re-installing to repairing, and making a new profile and stuff--but nothing is working. So I'll be saving up as much as possible for a tourbox instead, since that's what I've been meaning to get. So I'll put my throne in the thread!

illustrations of Sparky, a character from glitch's new animated series Knights of Guinevere. A rough older man with a mustache and long greying hair, he smokes a sort of blue vape pen, wearing a tight black shirt and half-rolled-down orange visibility overalls. In one he has a gun vest and in the other he's got his arms crossed.

Like I really went to send tickets ASAP and yet I got no responses. A friend got a human response and not me?? Bruh-

Maria Jonina 🌃✨ VGen Comm Sale!!! @blueumbriel.bsky.social · 10d

About how not much reach my posts have been doing, esp since the AI bs that's been raving around in most algorithms and whatnot. Like I've really felt so alone in some way.

But this...this reminds me why it's so worth to keep going 💕

Maria Jonina 🌃✨ VGen Comm Sale!!! @blueumbriel.bsky.social · 10d

at support for being so slow, etc. SO MUCH that they /had/ to do the fixes lol. No words can describe just how grateful I am to them AND the many others that have pitched in on my behalf ;;; 😭💕

I've never been so heavily reminded just how good of a community this is ;;; like ngl, I got insecure +

OH and I would honestly love to give a shoutout to @sunorhail.bsky.social for being one of the main reasons that I managed to get my account back ;;;

No one was literally getting back to me and the tickets I sent, and yet the moment that Rascal got tired of it, he called support and began to yell +

Maria Jonina 🌃✨ VGen Comm Sale!!! @blueumbriel.bsky.social · 10d

Until that support can get back to me about certain lingering issues on my end, I have made a new server!!

It's NOT yet quite ready, so for my mutuals and buddies that were in the last server, send me a DM over on my main discord acc, or on the side account! Or even here on bsky DMs!!!

Maria Jonina 🌃✨ VGen Comm Sale!!! @blueumbriel.bsky.social · 13d

Bro really typed in turkish and tried to say "got my account, close the tickets"

This makes a lot more sense now

God please make this a redemption arc
