We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

Rainforest biodiversity rebounds within a single generation | The Optimist Daily

A major Ecuador study finds cleared rainforests can recover 90 percent of their species diversity in just 30 years, as long as humans leave the land alone.

Ireland's artist basic income returned €1.39 for every €1 spent. They made it permanent. South Korea just announced plans to follow. Now Scotland too.

Family and I are processing a deep loss from this morning... we'll be okay, but currently, I'm not sure if I'll be diving more into social media or less, kinda depends on how my brain decides to process this. So sorry in advance for any spamming or sorry in advance for any extreme quietness.

Don't have enough words to say... this morning our void crossed the rainbow bridge, we were graced with 11 1/2, almost 12 years, with him. He caused as much light and laughter as he did chaos, but he was our chaos gremlin... home isn't the same without you, Link. We love you more than life itself 💕

Since today is an International Day Against Trafficking, we wanted to talk about ethical production of art & merch. All our projects are co-led by a trafficking survivor, so this is really important to us! We also hope this inspires you to follow these guidelines in your own art too. 🧵

A graphic showing digital mockups of the merch from the Moments of Euphoria project. Text reads, "Ethical merch production: tips for creating merch without forced labor and negative environmental impact. Tip 1: Search printing companies for 'forced labor' and 'modern slavery' policies. Tip 2: Ask companies directly if they avoid forced labor. Tip 3: Consider environment-friendly alternatives (paper merch, paper sleeves, wooden pins). Tip 4: Buy local whenever possible! Share to help other artists create more ethical merch!"

The difference of Artists just making time-lapses of their art to enjoy or to teach something VS. now it's mostly to defend themselves to show that they aren't AI art is just so disheartening. I hate having to question everything instead of being able to just see art and love it just cause.

現在、CLIP STUDIO ASSETSでは、一部の素材を非公開にしています。運用方針にそって確認を行う中で、非公開となる素材が増えており、ご不便をおかけしております。また、ご説明が不足していることもあり皆さまにご心配やご不安をおかけしております。大変申し訳ございません。

・管理者による削除や未公開状態に変更となった場合でも、違反素材として削除されない限り、権利関係などの問題はありません。すでにダウンロード済の素材は引き続きご利用いただけます。

・非公開となった素材は、判定に誤りがあったもの、問題のない状態に修正いただいたものから確認を進め、再公開の予定です。素材作者様ならびに素材をご利用の皆様には大変お手数をおかけいたしまして、申し訳ございません。

・購入などで素材を取得済の方は、非公開となった素材でも、CLIP STUDIO ASSETSのマイダウンロードから再ダウンロードできるようにする改修を行います。ご不便をおかけし申し訳ございませんが、いましばらくお待ちください。

CLIP STUDIO ASSETSは、現在、多くの国や地域の方に利用されています。利用する方の年齢や文化、地域によって、受け止め方が大きく異なる表現もあります。そのため、センシティブな表現については、単に「掲載できる・できない」だけではなく、誰に、どのように表示するかまで考えることが、これまで以上に求められています。

今回の非公開は、作品や作者の方の表現そのものを否定するものではありません。また、その作品を「不適切な表現」と評価することを目的としたものでもありません。あくまで、CLIP STUDIO ASSETSという公開サービスの中で、現在どのような形で掲載できるかという観点から判断しています。

掲載の判断について、「どの表現が対象になるのか」「どのように修正すれば公開できるのか分かりにくい」というご意見があることも認識しています。掲載の可否は、特定の部位や表現だけで一律に決まるものではなく、素材全体の内容や見せ方、掲載情報などを含めて確認しています。また、掲載の判断で考慮する点や必要な対応は、現在も変わりつつあります。今後、掲載ルールの説明や代表的な例を充実させ、投稿前に判断しやすい情報を増やしてまいります。

本来は、年齢制限や地域ごとの表示制御、コンテンツフィルターなどを使い、より細かくゾーニングできることが望ましいと考えています。今後は、年齢や地域、利用者の設定に応じた表示の仕組みを強化していく予定です。
「すべての利用者に表示する」か「まったく公開できない」か、という二択ではなく、表現の内容に合った形で公開できることを目指します。弊社は、これからも幅広い創作表現を支え、安心して利用できることと、多様な表現を扱えることの両方を目指して、ASSETSの仕組みと運用を改善してまいります。Currently, some materials on CLIP STUDIO ASSETS are not publicly available. As we review materials in accordance with our operational guidelines, the number of materials being made private is increasing, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We also apologize for any concern or anxiety caused by our insufficient explanation. We are truly sorry.

Even if the content is deleted or changed to a private state by the administrator, there will be no rights issues unless it is removed as infringing material. You can continue to use the materials you have already downloaded.

- We will be reviewing the materials that were made private, starting with those that had errors in their judgment and those that have been corrected to a problem-free state, and plan to make them public again. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to the material creators and users of the materials.

- For those who have already acquired materials through purchase or other means, we will be making improvements so that even materials that have been made private can be re-downloaded from My Downloads in CLIP STUDIO ASSETS. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your patience.

CLIP STUDIO ASSETS is currently used by people in many countries and regions. Some expressions can be perceived very differently depending on the age, culture, and region of the user. Therefore, when it comes to sensitive expressions, it is more important than ever to consider not only whether they can be published or not, but also who they are for and how they should be displayed.

This decision to keep the work private does not negate the work or the artist's expression itself. Nor is it intended to label the work as containing "inappropriate expression." It is simply a decision based on how it can be published within the current public service of CLIP STUDIO ASSETS.We understand that some users have expressed concerns about the publication process, such as "which expressions are subject to restrictions" and "how to modify content to make it publicly available." Our publication decision is not based solely on specific parts or expressions; rather, we review the entire content, presentation, and publication information of the material. Furthermore, the points we consider and the necessary actions in our publication decisions are constantly evolving. In the future, we will enhance our explanations of publication rules and provide more representative examples to make it easier for users to make informed decisions before submitting.

Ideally, we would like to be able to zone more precisely using age restrictions, region-specific display controls, and content filters. In the future, we plan to strengthen the display system based on age, region, and user settings.
Rather than offering a binary choice between "display to all users" or "not making it public at all," we aim to allow users to publish their work in a way that suits the content of their expression. We will continue to improve the ASSETS system and operation to support a wide range of creative expressions, aiming for both a safe and reliable user experience and the ability to handle diverse forms of expression.

CSP news ( #clipstudio ): apparently admins decided to crack down insanely on the asset store and proceeded to delete a TON of assets, including assets that didn't actually violate the current TOS. Supposedly according to reddit, staff are saying nothing spicer than hand holding will be allowed.

This whole CSP debacle has me irritated, like granted it's their asset store they can do whatever the fuck they please - but this is just beyond bullshit. So 100% begging asset creators, please please PLEASE upload your assets to more than one platform - your work shouldn't be censored like this.

⚠ PSA to artists and clients on #VGen about a Discord scam going around!! ⚠ a scammer is scraping profiles (both artists and clients) to make fake discord accounts impersonating them, then reaching out to people they've worked with in the past who have their discord info publicly visible

We're back in business! Thanks to @sotashark.bsky.social who somehow was able to bring my Ipad back from the dead! I'm so unbelievably grateful to them! I'm still planning to save for a new tablet because this one is more than likely on it's last leg, I don't think I'll be so lucky next time.

Celestial Wyvern@celestialwyverncreations.com · 2w ago

Well, Ipad officially decided to kick the bucket randomly with no warning... so it looks like a good portion of my current projects will be on hold for a minimum of 6-8 months while I try to save for a new one 😭

Amazing news, thanks to decades of unrelenting advocacy by the Yurok, Karuk and Klamath Tribes. It’s heartening to see the collaborative nature of the salmon restoration effort reflected in this paper’s authorship, which includes all three Tribes, state & federal agencies, NGOs & private entities.

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

The more you act like starting 1,000 art WIPs is a bad thing the harder it will be to get started. Imagine a little gremlin on your shoulder being like, "Oh, another new piece? Can't you finish anything?" Sounds motivating, right? :| RIGHT?? The whippings will continue until morale improves!

Friendly reminder now that it's september, to myself and anyone else who needs this - It's okay if you didn't create a ton this year or if you didn't create anything. Art isn't a race, it's ok to have lull periods that go on for a while, don't stress yourself out meeting non-existent quotas.
