I KNOW... it kills me every time something includes it lol

I finally watched Rocky Horror for the first time ever. Heavily respect the bold chaotic freak energy. especially considering the time period it came out- but couldn't help the entire time thinking "oh this is how conservatives view us" lmao

Hope this will just go the route of a cease and desist and they get scared straight with no big fanfare!

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 1d

Christ, this on top of everything else you've been dealing with? I'm so sorry. While this isn't my expertise and you should definitely follow a lawyers advice, if you need any additional eyes/feedback on letters you want to send them to check wordage I'd be happy to help.

At this point I tend to just accept typos and mistakes when posting but someone's name I feel deserves a bit more consideration so... repost! My brain can never tell these two apart for some reason, sorry lol

Additionally this comment on Hank Green's video is one I want to highlight.

Screenshot of a YouTube comment on "The web is going to die" video by Vlogbrothers. It reads: "

I would like to add: all the examples of ghost towns that you gave (whether in-person or online) seem to have something in common: they all grew very quickly. those towns in the rockies didn't start because the idea to have a town there was good, they started because a few people wanted to get rich quick and thought they found a "gold mine." But when the money dries up, and there's nothing left for those folks, they leave. And what they leave behind are all the honest people who tried to form a life there - to make something beautiful - but who were then left behind holding the bill for a false set of goods; sold to them by the same people who subsequently abandoned them.

and this idea translates to technology so well. thank you, Hank, for sharing this idea with us. Hopefully, we (humanity) can continue to find beauty and create life from spaces that others abandon. "

(Repost I mixed them up lol)
This short video by Hank Green connecting our current digital landscape to real, physical ghost towns within the US makes me wonder a lot about our future. Especially with the current topic of how bsky operators are insulting their own userbase.

Yeah, I didn't catch it until after I posted. Ugh

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 2d

It is true what I've seen others say about indie comics: you need to be fucking unhinged and maybe touched by a God's direction to be able to stick with making a webcomic. Just absolutely torn apart by long-running obsession. I'm Dr. Frankenstein over here making weird guys kiss

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 2d

I am maybe a fool for doing what every professional comic artist dissuades: committing a decade of your life to forcing your blorbos into a passion project story as your first comic. I certainly don't reccommend it- but for me, every second has given me fulfillment. I do not regret it. I love this.

Widderwood has gone through about... maybe 10 versions now, over the past 5 or 6 years of active writing? Scripted in full twice, then scrapped, restarted.

There's something very different about this round. As long as there's still a spark- sometimes things just take time and a lot of failure.

Goblin (fiance + the one who packs store orders) has been helping a lot in writing Widderwood. While I control this, they've been instrumental in giving me encouragement, support, and leading me down new paths to explore ❤️ theyre my professional coding rubber ducky but for art

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 2d

Widderwood writing continuing to move, smashed through yet another block hindering us. I love my weird dogs

God as much as I love yoga people who do this tend to just be coming from a place of condescending judgement rather than genuine effort to help. Kind of like the "weed heals all" crowd.
Feeling you on the dismantling internalized ableism sentiment. Game changer.

I fully illustrated the background separate from the ghosts, so I could get the transclucent effect I wanted. Since I went to the effort I figured it was worth showing off on its own, a long with a couple of closeups.

Prints will be available later this month :)

The previously described illustration but with the ghosts removed to fully show the background. A path winds off into a dark tunnel of trees. Among the tomb stones we see a Celtic cross, and one with a cherub carving. Far back is a statue of an angel with its arm raised. The colour palette is muted creams with dusky purples, blues and greys.

A zoomed in detail view of the background.

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed]

TL;DR: the CEO and many of her employees on the site are allowing a harmful right winger (idr name) to stay on the site; and now are directly mocking the queer userbase on their own pages. People have begun to be banned and their posts deleted for simple criticism toward the CEO

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 10d

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

It's tough out here dude. Like getting sprayed with a firehose near daily if not hourly. Take care of yourself.

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you for summarizing what I was trying to say more succinctly! Hit the nail on the head.

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 5d

Sorry for going off on that lol I genuinely think it's fascinating. No one's above this type of behavior and I speak it from direct experience, but it is frustrating to see repeat on mass scale over and over

Lydia @coyoteprince.bsky.social · 5d

Because they talk big when upset but don't follow through. What I've noticed over the years is people understandably prefer what they know even when it's hurting them- it is easy, familiar, comfortable. Effort- like building community & helping- is much harder, requiring dedication and the unknown.

It took many... many years with what felt like 50 different mass exodus talks for a large group of people to Actually leave Twitter in the first place 💀 same thing with a furry site I was on too
