How the fuck do people think you achieve higher literacy? Begging everyone to lock up their children's phones *ever* and put their eyes on books.

Ayo @darrylayo.bsky.social · 2h

No, you god forsaken subliterate.

*my* audience can understand me. And I do not have respect for anyone who thinks the way you do. I am not in favor of dumbing down to appease the incapable, the lazy and the willfully ignorant. Learn to read or get out of my face

I'm sad to see a lot of artists I know saying it's super hard to get sales. And it really is. So I wanna promote them here again.

Go check them out and buy or tip them if you can. This is the non-US shops list but I'll post other lists as well.

Oni @onidraws.bsky.social · Sep 11

I made a pack for non-US artists shops!
Let me know if you want to be added (with a shop link) or removed!

Black ink drawing and inkwash of Pisces. Two fish with pretty fluttering tails and fins face each other with a trident between them. The background is dark and watery.

Thinking about that luxurious thawing mud smell coming soon to a wetland near you. Starnosed mole (Condylura cristata) and early saxifrage (Micranthes virginiensis)

"Haidt’s thesis is broader than just 'new thing bad.' In The Anxious Generation and his public commentary you find a dismissal of young people as a thinking, feeling group: they are anxious because of phones, they empathize with Gaza because of phones."

now is not the time to ban phones

In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 176th deathday, here are a few of my recent pieces inspired by Poe's works 🫀

Illustration by Abigail Larson depicting a scene from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee". Two lovers embrace at the edge of the sea, water splashes around them and the surrounding rocks. A full moon shines over them, and storm clouds loom.

illustration by Abigail Larson depicting a scene from Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum" showing a man restrained as a pendulum blade swings close to him. Rats have swarmed around him, chewing the ropes that hold him down. This illustration is featured in "Sticker Jigsaw: The Edgar Allan Poe Collection" for Macmillan Books.

Illustration by Abigail Larson for Macmillan's "Edgar Allan Poe Sticker Jigsaw" book. The illustration is a scene from Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven". The narrator is at the center of the image looking up at at raven perched above an open doorway. Behind the narrator is a tall window with red curtains, and the ghost of Lenore lurks nearby. A black cat is watching the scene from the lower right corner.

With all the weird moderation stuff going on, doesn't it seem like just a matter of time before a writer here who posts vss fiction and writing snippets will get suspended for their FICTIONAL murder or violence scene? Very little attention seems to be being paid to context clues...

Something a bit more simple, "One For Sorrow", ink on paper. Inspired by the Green Lung song of the same name (I totally did not listen to it on repeat for hours). #art
