You know... As much as the looming dread of the corporatization of everything nearly crushed me like a wayward potato chip on the sidewalk, weretober really has been doing a lot to cheer me up

Unrelated but I’m also working on some lines for a friend

Don’t tell him

#WIPs

Line art of a gnarly dragon face covered in angular, thorny scales. I’m trying to give him a sense of weight and value with the intensity and thickness of the strokes but I don’t know how well that’s working!

Absolutely true.

Gender is irrelevant when one is first and foremost an alchemist @dertherck.bsky.social · 4d

Fair. Very fair. Good insight.

Gender is irrelevant when one is first and foremost an alchemist @dertherck.bsky.social · 4d

You know what? That's a very valid point.

I think the “physical” part of that statement is perhaps the thing that makes it work

I... Don't know if it's possible to sell something AND be authentic in the same space.

Just... Keep this in mind as best you can going forward because it's the reality.

Your labor fuels their profit, and they will absolutely trim off the laborers that they think aren't serving their bottom line.

Cuz It's Just Business, Baby.

All of them will continue to be like this because this is what social media platforms are. None of the policies, none of the updates, NONE of it will ever be for us. It will be for the advertisers.

Their ACTUAL customers.

I think the thing we're just honestly gonna have to square with is that every single platform (yes, even the one you like) is owned and operated by companies that sell your labor (posts, engagement, traffic, and activity) to advertisers so... No. There will never be a GOOD platform.
