it's International Lesbian Day! which, among other things, reminded me that this big cool SLARPG ensemble piece I did at the start of 2023 never got posted on here. so here's that!

shoutouts as always to pretty furry women who kiss other women and punch gods, you could say I'm sort of an enthusiast

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

i'm REALLY sad because this is the first time we are not bringing ANY suits. :( the fees went up for the airline we use, and it's just.... too much.

i'm making several based on pride flags (at least the ones that are possible with the colors i have), but would people want 'normal' colorways, too?
or maybe i should try a couple foxes/raccoons and such instead.. hmmmm, much to consider

Super stoked about these new beetle jelly charms that will be live on Friday! Was trying to thinking of something buggy and timely for Halloween but not strictly Halloweeny... and this is what I came up with! This is kind of like candy for bugs if you think about it 🍭
#bugsky

2 matching keychains with different beetles on beetle jelly. They are made of translucent frosted acrylic and one is green jelly with a blue death feigning beetle, and the other is pink jelly with a rainbow stag beetle.

So.

We've been denied financial aid, and the surgery is not being considered "emergent" thus no bypassing pre-payment. Which means we HAVE to pay on the date of surgery, which is later this month.

I'm going to be offering these portraits for anyone donating $50+ to the gofundme, details below

if you are an artist and you don't use the paypal invoice system, you are basically asking for a malicious or clueless client to terminate your career

Gilbert #NewDeal4Animation @discord12395.bsky.social · 6d

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

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:

"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?

what?"

Maja Öberg @majaoeberg.bsky.social · 2d

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

a member of bluesky saying "Yeh" in response to the above post, with a journalist responding asking to get their exact quote over the thread in which the bluesky member responds with "what" and the journalist then rephrasing the question only for the bluesky member to delete the entire thread

🐹 Before viral videos on TikTok or YouTube, there was Hampsterdance.

Full of dancing hamster GIFs & a sped-up tune, it became one of the internet’s first viral hits.

You can still dance to it on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19991222...

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

Hey y'all, Lee was approved for a surgery that would literally change their life. However, living in America means it's really hard to pay for medical costs alone 🫠

While I'm still doing commissions when I can, we opened a GoFundMe. You can donate and view the explanation here:

Donate to Urgent funds needed for Lee's surgery, organized by Afiya Beauchamp

Hello everyone, My spouse, Lee, finally got approved for a life changing sur… Afiya Beauchamp needs your support for Urgent funds needed for Lee's surgery
