Im always worried im not making enough art compared to other artists of my age group forgetting ive always had to prioritise science and essays and numerous other things. I get so caught up in output and progress that i forget that it's okay to just enjoy the process and walk my own path.

Thanks i was dropped as a child ☺️☺️

C3 started like that too and yet its been the season where you've needed the most knowledge about exandria (which is what i really liked, i genuinely cried every time vox machina was mentioned 😂)
thelittlemantis.bsky.social
I dont like starting something new without having finished previous seasons! Even if its unrelated

Reminder that Duolingo laid off most of their staff, including their localization teams, so that they could invest heavily into AI. Don't support Duolingo. Disable drops for a few days.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!

Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.

That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I must have missed the news where the author, writers, actors, and everyone involved in things like Game of Thrones, Euphoria, millions of other works etc. were all jailed
🤔🤔🤔
seriously baffled that people are upset that bluesky's new ToS bans depictions of underage peeps or sexual non con even if fictional like... guys that shit is actually illegal in most western nations you can go to jail for that art your so upset about them banning.. like the fuck is wrong with you?
thelittlemantis.bsky.social
If it makes you guys feel any better the dutch (outgoing and fallen since june mind u) has also accepted the same motion 🥴🤡

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent

Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead!

Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship

Demand bsky listen to its users

Time to get back into nsfw art 😤

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Have YOU sent in a support ticket about the new moderation policies yet today? 🗣️

Several points to make:
1. Art shouldn't be censored
2. It's difficult to *show* consent in a drawing
3. Banning means it will still be posted, but unlabeled
4. Bsky automod is VERY unreliable + will ban incorrectly
