finally getting around to posting this fantastic commission I got for < @[email protected] / @pointy.dog > from < @[email protected] / @mio.lagomorphosis.org >

Two characters sit on a wooden box in a grassy field. One is a cheetah-dragon lady who looks a little nervous. The other is a bespectacled saluki dog lady who seems confident and has her arm around the cheetah-dragon lady's shoulder

uploaded a handful of things (nothing i haven't posted anywhere else though) to side7.com/u/synthi/pro... because it feels weirdly nice to upload art to an account i've had since (checks notes) the fucking *clinton* administration?? oh NO

(also it's registered-account-viewable only but y'know)

it's funny that i'm doing all this specifically for commission work i've got in the pipeline because i get too self-conscious to Try A New Thing with someone else's characters right out of the gate, so instead i just put my own into the contraption lmao

i need to loosen up in more ways than one

synthi in high definition? this could be a problem!

(did this while waiting for email) (it still hasn't arrived) (that's okay though because i needed to do another one of these anyway to make sure the first one wasn't just a fluke because that's happened Literally Every Other Time i've painted)

a painting of a naked fox dude standing in a void. pretty simple

in the middle of trying to do actual work, i did this. partly because i was frustrated with actual work (until i wasn't!), & partly because i needed to do a painting test for some upcoming work (mainly to time myself so i have a rough idea of what to charge later on).

anyway look at my bunny wiener

painting of a toonish bunnything sitting awkwardly and looking kinda confused with its huge floppy dick draped over one paw

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite.

To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

race scientist jack skellington @jazzpomegranate.com · 5d

so now link is suspended with no email

link pointing out that jay now follows jonathan chait and suggesting that it may be for transphobic reasons

seems like running a separate appview is the heavy part after all if you don't have the bandwidth and disk space for it. oof

I migrated to one of the Blacksky servers for better moderation and account security. It only took a few minutes and I did it on my phone, plus it all works in the native BSKY app. And I became a monthly subscriber to support work that makes things better for everyone. Thanks @sharpiepls.com !!

dapurplesharpie @sharpiepls.com · 7d

you can migrate to blacksky

non-black users have the choice of "myatproto.social" or "cryptoanarchy.network" handles

I just don’t know where else to go? Won’t do Meta, and won’t do X. Guess I could try Mastodon again, don’t want to if I can help it.

Footsteps in the dark

Illustration of a blue bunny getting nervous out alone in the woods at night. It can feel that it’s being watched, as red paw prints of an unseen creature follow and encircle it.

deleting *this* post is such incredible "put it in the paper that i'm not mad" energy—it doesn't even tag Jay. i'm so serious: deeply cooked website

been beating my head against the wall for days on a commission because i want it to be Really Good (the brief is something outside my normal scope) & finally got (what i think is) a good way of approaching it, which feels a lot better than getting carried away with a warmup again (as i did, again,)

no, not that one @thatdosbox.bsky.social · 7d

With all the talk of waffles, this seems a good time to repost this. Short version - account portability exists.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 14d

Big win. Now you can leave Bluesky AND return to their servers if you wanted to.

Folks who migrated to blacksky.app, myatproto.social, and cryptoanarchy.network were taking a leap of faith move over to servers hosted by Blacksky Algorithms.

Hopefully this de-risks things for folks.

daniel 🫠 @dholms.xyz · 14d

okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back!

hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network!
