Art! Art! Art!
October 8th 2025

Art! Art! Art!

Real artist. Real artist? Don't talk to me about what makes a real artist. Every artist is real. If you've ever had a human emotion and tried to share it with another person, you're a real artist. Everyone can make art. Your yearning, embarrassing teenage poetry was art. The crooked picture of Goku you copied from a magazine as a kid. The flowers you doodled on your mother's birthday card. Art, art, art!

Accessibility? Nothing is more accessible than art. The blind, the deaf, the limbless, the broken, the starved, the infertile, the decrepit, the senile? Have they hummed a tune they remembered from years ago? Have they written a grocery list? Have they asked a priest why they're alive? Art! Art! Art!

Anyone can make art. Good people. Bad people. Saints. Sinners. Toddlers. Have you cried into someone's arms? Have you screamed in grief? Have you dug a gruesome tunnel into your guts with your fingernails, searching for feeling and meaning?

Art is always real.

Have you ever made something out of nothing? Have you ever made something out of something else? Have you kissed? Have you cooked a meal? Have you brought yourself to orgasm? Art! Art! Art!

Art is human! A machine can't feel grief and a machine cannot love and so a machine cannot make art for you. You make art. We make art. Art is everywhere:

My favorites are the hand-painted Snoopy characters in winter clothes painted on wood boards in the neighbors' lawn at Christmas. That poem by a child that says "The tiger is out!" The five notes of a song my husband hums to me, out of tune, key, and tempo, that is inevitably one of my favorite songs. Beautiful! Precious! Alive!

Don't talk to me about who can make art.

If you can plunge a finger into an open wound and draw a line in blood with it, you can make art.

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 1d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

more spamton drawings tonight, feeling the insane need to crunch all of his versions through my hands

an arrangement of drawings of spamton as an addison, spamton as a bigshot with his dyed black hair, spamton as spamton neo, and spamton as a puppet. in some of them he has little wings. the digital drawing is done on an off-white canvas, and the black ink and red ink are stark and heavy opacity.

a lower contrast digital drawing on a taupe background of various spamton neo robot bodies, one shown dressed and extending his hand toward the camera with puppet strings dangling. another shows cables gathered toward his spine and stretching outalong his back. another shows his rib plating and vents along his mid-abdomen.

magma battat mikes bc i am distilling his cutiefulness

a few digital drawings of battatmike, a microphone-like darkner with a wire-hair comb-over, big red bow, round body and head, and white gloves. he poses cutely, and in one drawing is being complimented by his boss for his durability and reliability. at the lower right he has taken off the big round head to reveal he is a pippins (dice darkner) with a geometric head, he fans himself with one glove while he holds the helmet under the other arm. in one tiny drawing in the middle he is fixing jongler's bow and jongler asks "do youse, like, like bows? and battat says "What? No" absentmindedly. there are little drawings and notes distributed throughout by other artists.

this drawing is huge and done with the pixel brush so sorry if it uploads like shit. if it does, the person in the back is saying "even gotta go thru the door together? :pride flag: ?" #deltarune #spamtenna

Spamton (in his Big Shot Era but drawn with big cute wings) leads tenna through a tenna-head shaped doorway hung with a small bead curtain. spamton is gesturing at papers in his hand, while tenna leans over and moves the bead curtain aside so he can fit under the doorframe. In the background, Mic (battat mic) is saying, "even gotta go thru the door together? :pride flag: ?"

kinktober number 1, petplay & tied up :) #deltaruined #weatherkaard

rouxls and the weather duo, with rouxls posed in the center in a latex-like version of his usual outfit and tall laced up boots. He holds a leash in each hand, with each trailing to the collar on a member of the weather duo kneeling on either side of him. Elnina is is on a podium labeled 1st and Lanino is on a podium labeled second. elnina is blushing and looking to the side proudly with her arms bound behind her, her dress is altered into a very low cut corset which shows her areolae, and a skirt with a clear layer showing thigh high fishnet stockings with a cloud motif around the upper band. Lanino is wearing a kind of assless chaps and corset with shoulder pieces and is looking toward the center of the screen in embarrassment and also excitement. Rouxls has an expression of supreme confidence, and there is a hypnotic swirl in the background centered on his head.

panel 5/5 #spamtenna #deltarune

a view of tenna from his antennae's new vantage point atop spamton's head, viewing himself. the angle is slightly fish-eyed and alongside it you can see speech bubbles pointing back to spamton saying, "[EYE] can see you! You're not [GOING, GOING, GONE] anywhere." and "And besides, [EYE] like what [EYE] see!"

little spamtenna comic, nebulous timeline just a fun idea i wanted to pencil out for my partner, panels 4/5

#spamtenna #deltarune

tenna tugging on his antennae and yelling "I'M DISAPPEARING, I KNOW I AM"

spamton clambers onto tenna's back as he fumes and says "You gotta [GET UP G-G-GET DOWN] outta your head [CATHODE]", there are two clicking sounds as he unplugs a cable in the back of tenna's neck.

tenna's face turns to static as spamton clicks and slides the panel holding his antennae off of his head, his expression is a little more hesitant. spamton continues, "Lightners ain't the only ones with [PEEPERS]." and turns to slide off of tenna's back. tenna looks up even more hesitant, and his screen has lightened to pale again.

spamton places the plate and tenna's antennae on top of his own head.

Some pages from two zines about bottom surgery I made for a local zinefest over the last couple years. Simple metoidioplasty, phallus-preserving vaginoplasty, nullification, and scrotectomy. #trans #queer

Uncoloured lineart depicting a fat trans masc person with a simple metoidioplasty from the torso down. They have top surgery scars on their chest and around their areolas and scars on the underside of their clitoris as well as self harm scarring on their thighs and arms. There is a barbed wire tattoo above a tattoo that reads "T4T" on their belly as well as an anchor tattoo on their right hand an a rose tattoo on the left. They have dense body hair.

Uncoloured lineart depicting a trans femme person with phallus-preserving vaginoplasty with their legs spread to the viewer. Their phallus is flaccid with the foreskin covering the head. They have body adornment tattooing on their thighs, chest, navel, and fingertips. They have pubic and leg hair as well.

Uncoloured lineart depicting a trans masc person with nullification surgery where all external genitalia is removed. They have a single scar down the middle of their pubis as well as laparoscopic hysterectomy scarring and scarring from navel removal. They have the planetary symbol for Pluto tattooed above their pubis, a geometric band of eyes tattooed on their thigh, and a sun tattoo on their hand that rests on their abdomen.

Uncoloured lineart depicting a trans femme from the torso down with a orchi and scrotectomy. They lift their phallus to reveal the scar on their perineum underneath. They have a frenum piercing and floral tattoos on their thigh, arm, and sternum.

Two updates. I don't know how many more I will have to make.

If I'm eventually banned, you'll know why.

Excerpt from article:

Update: It has since emerged that the community builder’s account has not only been permabanned from Bluesky, but also blocked from WhiteWind, Skylight, Bluescreen, Flashes, and “basically all ATproto apps/projects.” This effectively negates the very premise of the AT Protocol’s federated model.

Second update: A Jewish science journalist has now been suspended after publicly criticizing Bluesky’s CEO. A months-old skeet condemning Christian Zionism was presented as justfication, but this is clearly manufactured pretext.

At this point, all pretense is gone. This is outright retaliation by Bluesky’s leadership against any who dare criticize it.
