square digital art of a brown teddy bear hanging off a sunny tree branch, and orange rounded text at the bottom below the teddy that reads hang in there. the background is a faded warm brown/green gradient, and the teddy bear has a patch of green moss on his head with little yellow lights coming off it. the tree branch is coming from the left and ends before the end of the right of the canvas. there are light rays coming down from off the image into frame and hitting the tree branch and the teddy bear, creating rim lighting effect on the branch and the bear.

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

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.

digital art of two brown teddy bears cuddling on the sofa under a brown blanket, one sat up and one leaning on the other lying down. they both have soft content faces with happy wrinkles below their eyes. the one lying down is sleeping and has most of the blanket and the one sitting up is smiling at them. it is drawn in cozy warm lighting and the words ‘I love sharing my blanket with you’ are written above in brown textured font. on the wall behind them is 2 frames with doodles of the two bears together and their cat. in front of the sofa is a small pile of DVDs, of shrek 2 and the hobbit, and a packet of prawn cocktail crisps. to the side of the sofa is a small table with a mug of a hot drink on top.

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Okay here goes #dailydrawing day 1!! Sharks sharks sharks sharks #sharks 🦈 🫧

Have always wanted to try a proper spread, it took so long :,)
So it’s unlikely I’ll do many more spreads soon

Next daily drawings will likely be much more simple, to avoid instant burnout

inktober made a book stealing from a Black artist called Alphonso Dunn and that was the reason I didn't support or join inktober anymore. inktober guy sent hundreds of cease and desists to artists selling books of their inktober artwork which is also just really shitty imo. he shouldn't own the word

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support.

I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

panel 1: fizz sitting at his computer. a voice comes from offscreen, but it's barely understandable: "can you fo-d th- la--dry t--i--" fizz presses the spacebar, pauses what he was doing and looks back: "wh-sorry what was that?" panel 2: the voice retries, but even quieter : "i said ca- yo- --ld t-- la----" fizz turns around in his chair, smiling nervously : "...sorry i-i still didn't understand..." panel 3: the voice goes "....." fizz, sweating, asks hesitantly : "...just a bit louder please?" panel 4: the voice sighs : "nevermind." fizz looks away with a sad expression.

In case it needs restating, autism isn't caused by Tylenol, or vaccines, or woke parents or whatever. It's not a disease, and it doesn't need curing. Eugenicists and fascists love to think of ways to eradicate us because they are unwilling to understand us. But we will outlive them.
Edit of a meme which says I'M JOINING THE WAR ON AUTISM ON THE SIDE OF THE AUTISM and beside it is a picture of GO-MAN, a red, white and blue superhero character with a big scarf and mask.

My wife & I are still out of work. We have 5 months before we have to give up our home. So I’m reaching out again to see if there are any indie devs needing a level designer or software engineer to join their team? We just need a chance 💜
