Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

Next week, I will either play a game on Friday, or I will go get a couple of drinks downtown.

I am comfortable with either option.

You'd think a company charging 10 bucks to put a gif next to your pfp would spend a little more in security.

It should be an accepted web-developmemt rule that for randomized URL segments, such as for the string of text that specifies a unique video on YouTube, all instances of "i" should always be lowercase and all instances of "L" should always be uppercase.

It's okay to long for the years you could've lived differently, had your egg cracked sooner; but don't let that distract you from the present or the future you still have in front of you. You still have the rest of your life left to live, knowing and embracing who you've really been all along.

For Throwback Thursday, here's an old digital painting I made of Hux, based on The Giant by N. C. Wyeth, featuring cameos from (left to right) @bartbun.bsky.social, MintDragoness, @perrupls.bsky.social, @microquinn.bsky.social, @conejito.bsky.social, and @gracieboom.bsky.social.

A digital painting based on N. C. Wyeth's "The Giant," with Hux as the giant, walking in the distant horizon over the sea, a beach towel slung over his shoulder, and almost blending into the towering clouds that loom with him. In the foreground, on the beach, staring up in awe are BartBun, MintDragoness, PerruPls, Quinn, Conejito, and GracieBoom.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.
