Hi, I'm Kolya, a disabled artist and trans dogboy from Seattle.

A fullbody pixel art of an anthro dog. The dog is a blue-grey Siberian Laika and is wearing a black hoodie with white barcode printed on the sleeves. He's also wearing dark jeans and black sneakers. He is holding a stylus in left hand and with his right, holds a pale pink coffee cup from which he is sipping. As he sips, his white-grey eyes glance over at the viewer with a calm, neutral expression. The background is an edited photo of trees against the dusk sky.

A digital drawing of a frog standing on a bright red background. The frog is holding a sign that says “ICE out of Portland”. The frog looks mad.

is it cptsd & betrayal trauma that makes me feel a lot more uninterested in being social like i used to be? or am i just healed enough to be content in solitude?

both probably

I’m not telling anybody how to navigate the internet, but I will say that having a public list of things that trigger you/squick you out seems like a really fast way to have some malicious actor send you exactly those things as a way to fuck with you if you piss off the wrong person

Btw I don't know how many ppl know this, but there is an art theft labeling tool @arttheft.bsky.social you can report stuff like that and have it warn of potential reposters plagiarists scammers and the like with flagging them (or just hard blocking if you prefer)
Similarly for AI @aimod.social

that sounds shitty :( personally, i don't see howls as something to be earned.

for me, it was more like... when the forest goes silent because there's a predator lurking around.

Day 8 -- Clockwork

Automatons by no means needed to be ornamental, but artisans of the deep woods didn't tend to understand concepts like "too much."

A deerlike anthro fella sits among jars of pigment and paintbrushes, closely focusing on painting filigree on the head of a yet-to-be-assembled automaton, which resembles a horned deer wearing goggles

oof and it's already mispronounced!

my parents had a home phone that would announce caller ID with a robot lady voice and she would always say, "Call from: SEE-tl, W-A."

I've been seeing my favorite fuzzy friends around! 🍂🐛

Illustration of a wooly (sometimes spelled woolly) bear caterpillar. It's fuzzy and cute and has a happy little smile. There's lines radiating around it and above it says "it's wooly time!" in lowercase hand lettering. The background is a light orange checkered pattern.

waffles.

Digital illustration of a paIistinian woman, wounded with tears streaming down her face only to be blocked by a bright blue butterfly that covers her mouth and most of her face. Blue chains, explosions, waffles, blood, paIestinian flags being erased in the background- their color “bluing” out with the notification “deleted account” over them. Like and repost notifications scattered throughout different sized wrapped bodies. Over her head, a single dollar bill is wrung out, dripping blood down onto her. Below reads, “waffles.” Commentary on censorship.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.
