Man, the bad luck has been so relentless this year and I’m so beat.

I am so thankful to everyone who gets a commission, donated, or come to my streams, subscribed to my twitch or patreon, shared my work and my commissions posts, everything, all of it, every ounce means so much to me.

Jekyll needs to go to the vet because he’s been fainting or having partial seizures. He is 17 so we are starting with updated bloodwork but it will still be a few hundred dollars. Bad luck on top of everything else!

Consider donating to my Ko-Fi or perhaps getting a commission!

here's what you're missing as a viewer if you're not watching my streams - my stream avatars include such classics as godzilla driving a taxi, the prince of the cosmos driving a UFO, and Ratchet and Clank driving a chocobo (and more)

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

0 issues in 12 years:

- Make sure your Paypal is a business account
- USE INVOICES
- call it "digital commission"
- include product use, turnaround time, and refund policies in ToS field
- uncheck "ship items to address"
- DON'T write NSFW/adult

Don't get owned for negligence & rulebreaking.

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 haven't been able to fill any of my three slots I need to fill, I am dropping these down to 50$ USD but that's truly the lowest I can go!

Grayson @wildrumpus.bsky.social · Aug 30

hey folks, I am opening up some slots to raise funds to pay my rent. Get a cute custom model for 100$ USD. My freelance client has completely ghosted me and I am completely screwed. DM if you are interested and please share.

Best case this is just part of his aging process, but it’s pretty standard to keep an eye on kidney levels and do regular CBC with his age and symptoms just to make sure there’s nothing interesting going on that we can actually do anything about.

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.

Strategy explainer for #StrikeForMutualAid:

If antifascist users simply leave, this site becomes another nazi bar fully.

Therefore, I think we need to take up space, strategically.

Flood feeds with Palestinians, trans people, Black and Indigenous people, disabled people's need posts instead.

Coincidentally, both of the software that lets them do their stuff is open source.
Much to consider.

So I'm into Virtual Pinball and Doom WADs and these fandoms could easily have an exchange program for how esoteric the knowledge is that holds up their hobbies. They're all using like Windows 8 software to make masterpieces that kick modern games in the nuts.
