Ghosts, ghouls, werewolves, vampires, demons, slimes, swamp creatures, creepy clowns, etc. You know... Halloween stuff!

A collection of Telegram stickers of an anthro otter/hyena hybrid (Flash) and an anthro kangaroo (Tell). In them, Flash peers eagerly at a phone sitting on a table, waiting; Flash blushes and holds the phone close, with the screen showing an affectionate Telegram chat with Tell; Flash and Tell kiss one another on the lips; Flash and Tell embrace one another; and Tell menacingly pushes up a pair of glasses he's wearing.

furries got it absolutely correct when they spearheaded the culture of referring to people by their screen/fursona names instead of their government ones

desperately seeking suzn @suzn.bsky.social · Feb 14

hey one thing I'd really like to see, in this era of ramped up vile personal attacks on marginalized people, is less pressure from educational institutions, publishers, industries, conventions, peers etc. for artists to use their "real" name online lol

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

I get the majority of my business through referrals from fellow creatives. If one of us doesn't have it, another one will. If one person doesn't do a specific service, another will. We're not competitors, we're a community. Helping the community helps the individual.

jay Dragon has firmware updates @jdragsky.bsky.social · Aug 4

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Evan Torner @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social · Aug 4

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.
