My small family has not celebrated Thanksgiving in over a decade. No disrespect to those who do, but after learning how much I was lied to in school about its origins I didn't feel right about celebrating on a day that was founded in conjunction with a massacre of Indigenous people.

It seems like not that long ago I shelled out $50+ in saved allowances to purchase the VHS, which at the time was the only way of viewing it.

One of the most important movies ever made. 👏
"The Plague Dogs" animated feature film is available for free on Youtube (North America only).
Directed in 1982 by Martin Rosen ("Watership Down").
Brad Bird worked on it as an animator.

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe.

Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

This is Kiwi aka Mouseyboy. He loves his pink bunny. You can't get much softer than that.

One of the biggest arguments I've heard against exotic keeping is "I hate seeing animals in cages".
Trust me, I do too, and that's why my animals are only caged for one reason: their own safety.

You cannot actively harm a living being and call it "humane". That's just a fact.
Anyone that tells you AI models, organ on a chip and other alternatives are ineffective is lying to you. The reality is those that profit from the industry are terrified of actual progress and being held accountable.

Destroy A/I slop! Support real human artists!
Did this one because I was sick of seeing people who actually used to comm me using crappy gen images instead of supporting real artists who need the money more than the Shat GPT idiot app.
Artificial Idiots.

I'm open for commissions!
Prices start at $30 for inked fullbody, $50 for color and +$5 for shading. Headshots start at $15. Discounts can apply for multiple characters or simple designs. I do SFW, NSFW, any species, any gender or body type. Backgrounds of any complexity are an option.

I wish I had gotten to know this lovely person/dog better. The fandom, and the world, needs more people like him for several reasons. Let's make him proud 💙

Boosting this again and also wanna call out "Angel Shots". These are "drinks" that someone will order at a bar that signifies they need help. Picture below to show the Angel Shots. Not all bartenders know so be aware and help if needed!

Calling AI an art tool is like bringing a microwave and frozen dinners to a cooking competition and excusing it as "just a tool".
Nah, that's you.

If you can't help someone, wish them well and move on. This poor soul lost her cat because people wouldn't stop reporting her accounts. She is a real person, her cat was real. Now she's gone.
The universe sees how you treat those in need.
Aseel has tried so hard to give little Liza the best life she could, but her sweet baby is gone.

She and her family are doing their best to survive and to care for animals who have no one else to take them in.

Please help them, if you can:
