The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

"Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?" is one of the hardest lines I've ever read. It's so fucking powerful. Thank you Chiitan for this perfect wisdom.

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

watching people you love and respect cutting corners to keep creative pace with an idiot machine, starve themselves to keep pace with a new, more impossible ideal, it is overwhelmingly sad some days and no one is truly immune to it

It's Robin's birthday tomorrow, please join me in helping her out w/ $ or signal boosts if you can. 💖

Would anyone like to help me not go in the negatives for rent tomorrow? Ideally my roommate will be able to help cover 200 of this, but I still have commissions open if anyone would like to help. I only have 300 in my account till Friday lol. I would prefer payment through venmo/cashapp/paypal.

"Let PlayStation have a Wii U generation" goes so hard.

every day as an artist is slowly desensitising yourself to your own shame about promoting your own art

Nightly repost - and while I wasn't looking, we hit the goal for $900! Which is amazing, and I'm so grateful to everyone who got me this far so quickly! The goal was automatically updated to $1600, of the full $2000 goal. I'm incredibly thankful to everyone who contributed so far. <3

I made a GoFundMe to hopefully help get me through this next period of time until I can find consistent and honest work. If you can't directly contribute, you can help by sharing or reaching out if you live in the Phoenix area for other ways to help, including leads. gofund.me/bce50fbf1

@aaaac.bsky.social (Top Left) @caffeinated-crit.bsky.social(Top Right) @dokdisko.bsky.social (Bottom) OC suggestions for 100 followers! I thought they were all interesting so I did a headshot for each! I'm also drawing a new monster girl based on some of the other suggestions! Thanks everyone!

literally my wife #undertale

Funny how I was called a freak and made fun of growing up but completely reclaimed that and my only response to that now is "yeah. And?" But if I even think I'm a burden on others, without anyone saying or doing anything to even imply that, I suddenly need therapy again~

Good morning! Reposting this as my due diligence, I'm still short of my goal but thank you to everyone who donated $120 so far of the starting goal of $900 ❤️ There's still a few days left until rent is due, but I'm still looking into jobs and assistance.

Nightly repost to remind everyone: still waiting on jobs to call me back. Still applying, looking into assistance programs to help me through this emergency, but I need time to have those process! Anything helps, even spreading the word!

It was never going to stop at trans people.

I appreciate everyone who has shared and donated so far. I'm unable to sleep tonight, the stress is getting to me and I'm honestly starting to panic. I was homeless before, something that I am not eager to repeat. Trying to avoid, and... it is looming large in my vision, already crushing me.

I'm closing out my third month of being unemployed. I have had job interviews almost constantly, accepted a few offers for jobs that ultimately fell through. Between all of them, they misled or didn't properly communicate what the role actually was. Turned out to be jobs I cannot do, flat out.

Here's Bex! This is a character I drew her last year but I never posted her sheet. Her deal is she is a mechanic on a space ship. The ship gets damaged and she is lost on a space walk, a back up of her mind is updated to an android body that's incompatible with her mind. #OC #Android

How logically getting a commission works Client: "I like your art and I will give you money for you to draw something for me! uwu" How most artists' brains interpret this Client: *Failed a resist check somehow and is now surrendering their money to you against their will*

Damn, video games are really good when you ain't got a online player base in your ear telling you otherwise.

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

Hey so turns out discovering why we used to have all those food safety regulations in the first place is not all that much fun

I drew it 1,5 years ago and just realised I never posted it :0

I’m old enough to remember who the “essential workers” were during peak of the pandemic. Remember? Many of those workers are being deported or can’t put food on the table right now.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I don't buy this bullshit for a single fucking second. This is perfectly engineered to 1) attack a competitor, 2) "have" plausible deniability, and 3) push forward the narrative of AI having actual, autonomous intelligence. Fuck OpenAI.

OpenAI describes the hack as an 'unprecedented cyber incident' in which its models escaped a training environment to attack Hugging Face.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold
