Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

There are so many people in Gaza who need our help. Social media can make that challenging and overwhelming. But we don't have to be perfect to do good. I am making this thread of fundraisers to make it easier to send aid and track progress. 🍉👇

You. Yes you. Stop scrolling. Listen to me for a second.

You're going to be okay. Tomorrow's another day and no matter what happens, the best thing you can do is keep on going.

The world is better because you're in it and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise.

ngl in light of all the troll/discourse bots showing up on bsky, remember that you do not owe anyone a response. You do not owe anyone online your time or attention, and replying to people is not an obligation. If you don't feel joy talking to someone here, just mute/block them and move on.

What movie made you ugly cry?

This shot from Tangled had me crying so hard I was convulsing and I can’t quite explain it. I’ve been reluctant to revisit cuz I keep thinking about how much I was crying after this scene. It was a lot!

promoting yourself as an artist is so frustrating because you’ll feel like you’re shoving your stuff down everyone’s throats and then there’s someone like “wait u have a comic???”

When Hollywood Video closed here someone bought it and just changed “video” to “liquors” and it’s been wildly successful for 14 years. It always vaguely feels like a metaphor. One my mind races from. #filmsky #americanlife #videostores

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

Hey 2d vtubers, did you know that vtube studio can track your head position in addition to your normal head turns?

That's how some people can get their model to lean with tracking (position Z)! I'll explain more below ⤵️

just letting you guys know, I'm gonna start unfollowing/muting accounts that fall back on old Twitter habits of dunking and engaging with bad faith actors

sometimes it's important to stay informed of the grifts, but I think I'm good on seeing things that make me upset

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners:

Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing!
I also updated quite a bit of information too.
I hope it will help somebody!

Art advice you can use right now:

Draw slower
Observe more
Observe again
Don’t give up after the first sketch
Use references
Ask for feedback
Work simple, then add details
Iterate on ideas
Try a new process
Make frequent comparisons to refs
Draw what you love
Draw with others
