repost 🖍️🖌️✂️

a black and white typography edit that reads "i am gay and i must create". around the text are many arts and crafts supplies such as a glue gun, spools of thread, scissors, a linocut carver, tunes of paint, crayons, buttons, pins, a ball of yarn, paint brushes, pens, and pencils, and other things of that nature. the entire image is textured to look photocopied.

ahh thank you so much! it took persistence and elbow grease to do it all by hand with scrap material, and I'm so happy with the result. I haven't seen photos of similar finished masks, but I actually found your work *through* this - linked from cpony (site NSFW) www.cpony.com/home/tack/ma...

I built my mask from a @palaeosinensis.com pattern and you can too! super straightforward process, detailed instructions, and a great little community of mask makers with even more tips and tricks. highly recommend for other DIY-ers, from scene to 'ween.

Starting later this month, companies like X, Discord and Netflix will be legally required to use a face scan or other method to verify Ohioans age and/or identity before allowing them to go online

They passed it by claiming it was just about porn.

Ohio's porn ID, age verification law takes effect soon. What to know about the change

Starting Sept. 30, pornography websites will be required to verify the ages of their customers under a new Ohio law. Here's how sites will verify age.

I'm going to be hosting a panel tomorrow morning at 11am ET where I will be talking about approaching drone kink from a collectivist perspective. I encourage you all to attend and try a visor on!

spent my day off ceramic coating my own car and I am not a Car Guy™ but god damn if this didn't scratch the same itch most crafts do. I get it now

my goal was to approximate the look of rubber or leather for less so I could experiment with pony play gear without a huge investment. invested a billion hours of my time instead (and like $15 for gesso and sealant) and I'm frankly thrilled with the result!

here's what a month of personal work looks like when you have cubital tunnel, a commission queue, and a day job that's imploding in slow motion

my comfortable single-sitting ring count has stayed remarkably steady over time. as my technique and form have improved, the main difference has been how *often* I can sit down to weave. (shoutout to my several RSIs)

as a fellow scalie with a lizardsona, may I offer...horse

Fursona refsheet a horse named Tony Pony, who is brown with blonde mane and tail. Refsheet shows a shoulders-up colored portrait, a full body seated, knees-up standing, little doodle bust, and shirtless portrait that were all obviously drawn by the poster who doesn't draw a ton but is having fun anyway
