Why do I always see the typo an hour after I post
I even turned autocorrect BACK on...and then typo with a real word

Thank you! We'll see what I decide to do... Trying to clean things up either by doing line art or cleaning up my very heavy sketches both take a very long time. Sometimes it's nicer just to move onto something new lol

Develop my other 2 of 4 main cast who REALLY need to be finished or male a completely new character from scratch because I want them to be gay (bisexually) 🤔🤔🤔

Idk if I will actually finish cleaning this up or if I'll line it, to WIP hell it goes XD

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

Remember to Label your NSFW :) @remember2labelnsfw.bsky.social · 23h

Scrolling on your phone in public is nice... until someone (chronically) doesn't tag their NSFW content!

@remember2labelnsfw.bsky.social seeks to solve that! It's a labeler that hides media from accounts that regularly forget to/flat out skip labelling nsfw content as such.

How to report a post to the labeller for automated review: "Report Post" > "Unwanted Sexual Content" > "Remember to Label your NSFW :)". (alternatively, you can report an entire account with reason "other")

Posts by users who are chronically forgetting/skipping labeling nsfw content as nsfw will have posts hidden like this, once they have the label.

Amby is trained for military use, and you didn't want to be the poor bastard on his mission briefing. Just because you ran away to the stars doesn't mean you're free. Featuring a trimmed look and different gear.

A riff on the "Friendship ended with X, now Y is my best friend" with the poster's fursona shaking the hand of Aegiomon who is featured in Digimon Story Time Stranger.
There are photos of tacos crossed out and the text "Friendship ended with TACOS, Now DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER is my best friend" as Tuesdays are normally associated with Taco Tuesday.

This is a good, more in-depth article about why some folks are so bothered by what's happening with Bluesky.

Nico Mara-McKay 🦇 (they/iel) @nicomaramckay.com · 2d

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust.

When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

Soooo Digimon Story Time Stranger released which means I'm returning to streaming! I've made a new emote for the occasion and there are some other new...developments.

We're having our first Time Stranger Tuesday this upcoming week on October 7th, starting at 7pm to ~9pm Central!

They're different from how the eyes on the fursuit are set up, so lots of research on all fronts. Remy did a great job implementing them!
