Caye's still not eating dry food so I had to bring him more cans, vet hasn't come back and I still don't know how much the next tests + surgery (if needed) will be. We're running low on funds so I'm advertising my commissions again 🥲

Since I know artists are particularly in need of this I’m also working on a photo gallery feature that I’ll update the theme with.

I’m just not quite done with it yet 😅❤️

I finally buckled and wrote a tutorial I've been meaning to write for ages.

If you're a non-tech person that is tired of having to change social media platforms and want a simple blog on the web, this is for you 🪄

Create your own free & portable website (for non-techies)

Astro is easy for anyone to set up, and hosting static files is often free, so you don't need to spend a lot to curate your presence on the web.

at the bookstore 🌿

#art #oc #ocsky #ttrpg

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater".
She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

This sounds like a nice option actually!

And yeah, I've seen many comments about that, can't afford it myself but we'll see

Arcano @soyarcano.bsky.social · 1d

I really hope so, I don't plan on leaving either unless something goes horribly wrong but still has me kinda nervous 💔

Arcano @soyarcano.bsky.social · 2d

Becoming increasingly anxious with the current state of socials, idk if I can deal with moving and starting from scratch again. I miss how things used to be, I miss my internet friends, I could talk to them about anything and share art and stuff and I was actually making a reliable income and 🥲

A digital illustration of the character Moros from the video game Hades 2. The character is depicted from the waist up and from the side, staring thoughtfully towards the right side of the image. The illustration is in a painterly style but left unfinished at the bottom of the figure. The background is low contrast and depicts green branches and leaves.

Finally updating #WM characters' sheets - starting of course with my grumpy babygirl 💅
Marth got an updated mask, clothes and even a haircut, slaayyy~

#OCs #art

Reference sheet of Marth (short from Marthel) the Keeper, any pronous. Marth is a very tall human (due to becoming a Keeper) about 2,3 m of height. They have short and spiky white hair, greenish eyes and a mask that conceals half of the face. The visible part of his face seems to be scarred. Marth wears special operative clothes with gloves, a high neck piece and sometimes with a white cloack on top. They have a very disgruntled look about them

Heal

A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed.

Every large-scale platform is run by techno-fascists, that's just reality. This is the only social media I'm on because the community of good people is strong and important but it's also vulnerable to the whims of those in charge, who aren't our friends. Best to keep that in mind.

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” sent at 22:15. The email states that a Bluesky account controlled by the recipient, with the handle @spacelawshitpost.me, posted a reply with an image where the alt text reads: Charlie Kirk sitting in a white T-shirt that says “Freedom.” A negative consequence follows. The email indicates this post violates Community Guidelines regarding violent or threatening speech, specifically listing threats of violence or physical harm against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public, and incitement of self-harm or suicide.

A screenshot of an email continuation from the Bluesky Moderation Team displaying a bulleted list of Community Guidelines violations. The first bullet point describes threats of violence or physical harm as including threats or encouragement of violence against individuals, groups, institutions, or the general public. The second bullet point defines incitement of self-harm or suicide as content that encourages self-harm or suicide. The third bullet point explains wishes of harm as expressions of a desire for harm directed at a specific person or group. Below the bullets, a paragraph states that users may not use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others and that all users must be treated with respect. The next paragraph informs the recipient that as a result of these violations, your account has been taken down. A closing paragraph thanks the user for doing their part to keep Bluesky a welcoming and empowering place for all users and instructs them to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz if they have questions or wish to appeal the decision. The email ends with the signature Bluesky Moderation Team.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 08:11 with the subject line Re: Bluesky Account Behavior addressed To: Hide My Email. The email reads:

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to appeal the takedown of your account on Bluesky. We have carefully reviewed your case, including the information you provided and the activity that led to the suspension of your account.

After investigating, we have determined that your account activity was in violation of our community guidelines, specifically promoting hateful content or being disruptive to other users. We take these guidelines seriously to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all our users.

As a result, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied, and your account will remain suspended. This decision is final and cannot be reversed. We understand that this may be disappointing news, but we must prioritize the well-being of our community and maintain a consistent enforcement of our policies. We encourage you to review our community guidelines to better understand the expectations we have for user behavior on our platform. Please do not create new accounts, since those will be taken down for ban evasion.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

In the next couple of days I'll be cleaning out my Patreon to start it fresh; I'll use it as a place to post art and such, so join up for free to get updates from me

(it has a tip jar tier too if you're feeling generous, but I think I will just make it a free blog like 90% of the time)
