Hello, new people!

Hi, I’m MJ. I’m one of those artist types. I make things with my hands, draw silly pictures, write sexy stories, write spooky stories, and I also take self portraits a lot.

Posts to expect: vinyls, muppets, cute animals, pretty portraits, more muppets, and bad jokes.

I want to hang with more weirdos, so I'm doing a #promosky

I’m Joe. Artist. Punk. Part dog.

I enjoy:

-Comic books
-Movies
-Horror
-Punk rock
-a dorky sense of humour
-ART

I do not like:

-Gen AI in creative spaces
-Nazi creeps
-anyone who likes yucking people's yums

Joe is standing in a strawberry farm with a bucket of strawberries, wearing baggy shirts, a sleeveless t-shirt with the character Him from Powerpuff girls and gothic text reading HIM. He is wearing a Twin Peaks themed shoulder bag, sunglasses, an orange cap and has a beard and some tattoos.

Four creepy black and white illustrations showing a morbid sensibility. Top left- a woman eating a worm from as bird's mouth as her eyes roll back. Top right a pretty black haired woman beckons as her face is beginning to lift up showing monstrous teeth as a second mouth that outlines her face.
Bottom left, a dark haired woman with a noseless, scarred face regards a pretty mask that floats in front of her face. Bottom right a floating head of a woman with black hair and long tongue screams as her lower jaw is separated from her face.

“There are just a lot of rumors flying around. But I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” Dolly Parton said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.” https://to.pbs.org/4hc1DXB

'I'm not dying': Dolly Parton responds to concerns about her health

Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”

I think more people should be aware of how much cool stuff Link does in real life. He’s not just a poster.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends
