Creating for yourself doesn't mean giving up the opportunity to share your art with the world. That's always been the artists' goal. That's not a greedy desire. Creating for yourself first is asking what YOU want before making the art. To never sacrifice your own voice in favor of attention.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

Do I follow people from Texas, New Mexico and Colorado? We have a 19 year old Black girl who is a rape victim and needs assistance with a safe escape, finding a way to get an abortion and just needing a safe place to stay. I’m begging y’all. DM please.

It would make my entire day. Artfight was one of the best things I did this year, and I've been chasing the high since. I have my permissions listed in my AF account, but generally, keep it SFW and no whitewashing/genderbending.

okay OC artists/ppl with OCs, QRP this if you're okay with surprise character fanart and what your boundaries are with that (in a general sense)

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.
