It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

Aura/Moom @moomanibe.bsky.social · 2d

when I was defending itch I heard from a lot of - frankly to my shock - other queers who were like "it's a platform, platforms are the enemy" and until we're able to distinguish _as users_ the ways in which worker owned services aren't your enemy and deserve grace, we won't be seeing very many

It hurts to keep pushing this but for those not in the know, I've been trying to escape an abusive household for the past 5+ years, and the past few months its gotten a lot worse to the point of regular screaming matches and near daily crying.
I finally have a REAL chance to leave. I need this.

Shortest version possible --
I am at only like 26% of my goal,
if I don't get AT BARE MINIMUM 250usd more by next month I have to cancel my surgery,
if I don't reach my goal by the END of november, I will be fucked and have negative money in my account.

I don't wanna keep yelling about this, but it's a rough situation. The longer this goes on, the worse it's gonna be (in terms of bleeding transport costs and in how frozen up my shoulder will get). Please boost if you have a sec. Every last report and small tip adds up!

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 2d

Hurt shoulder is, well, really hurting me (in the bank). Unable to bike, it's rough on transportation costs. Also draining with medical copays. Every bit helps!

Sent an e-mail to my reps about the Discord leak and I'll be sending out a letter about it soon too: complete with printed articles and other things. I hope y'all will consider doing the same! Takes about 5 minutes once you have the e-mails and you can just keep them in a notepad to use each week.

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · 2d

Gonna say it: if you have time to make fun of me for not wanting to accept censorship in America, you have time to e-mail your reps about the issue. Anytime you feel like dunking on someone because they don't wanna use crypto or a VPN, you should be using that energy to contact reps instead. Thanks!

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · 2d

Some assholes found some of my posts again, looks like. What a bummer! People truly are happy to just accept the censorship sweeping across America and they really think VPNs are going to go unchallenged forever, huh? Yikes.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

A few months back I turned my gf's fursona Ki (he/him) into a literal sparkledog with my glittery Posca pens!!

Thank you for making my life sparkly and full of light again
@the626th.bsky.social 💕

#art #furryart #furry #fursona #Poscapens #traditionalart

The same art skewed slightly to the right, but this time including a small fidget toy painted to look like Ki. Fidget Ki is laying with his legs out facing away from the drawing, and the viewer can see most of the top/back of his body is orange with creme and gray markings. Ki's long, striped tail is also shown with all the colors mentioned, including pink.

A photo similar to the last two images, but with the drawing skewed to the left slightly and with the fidget version of Ki looking up at the camera and viewed from mainly the front.

High school gender dysphoria be like

ft. the sona trio

#art #digitalart #oc #sona #albumcover

Based off of the mxpx album titled "Life in General", this piece features my sona trio in a school hallway by a set of lockers and an open classroom door.

In the foreground, my masc sona Tux - wearing blue and grey/blue letterman jacket and matching hat/shorts - is holding up TV head Toya with arn arm under his neck while pulling on his power cord. Toya is struggling to get out of Tux's grip.

In the background, fem sona Pit is stuffed in a trashcan with her legs dangling over the sides. She looks amused and slightly concerned by what the guys are up to.

It'd be nice if scrolling down far in my likes didn't literally lag the website so bad I can't reblog or relike anything that's in there. I hovered my mouse over the share button for 30 seconds before clicking, clicked it then waited 30 seconds before moving and STILL nothing popped up
