el latido de tu corazón 💕

I love it when my friends tell me about their OCs and lore. "Look, I made a guy. This is why he can't ever find peace. Here's his dick"

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again

People really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.

Be careful not to touch, else it's skibidi pap, permanent nap! It's 🐔Pollo, from hit game Dadlocked, the day where they're trying to free the dad, part of the Octodad cinematic universe. I love 🐔Pollo's design and I've had a few people be like, hey, you should draw him. So I did!

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

An important PSA to everyone: PayPal recently got hacked and someone obtained millions upon millions of emails and passwords and is selling them online. I suggest that you change your PayPal password as quickly as possible

Better a freak than a fascist 🔥

As expected seeing ppl backpedaling on the itch thing now that there's a list of the unacceptable content and it includes stuff that's "too gross" It's all of us or none of us. Our enemies have made that clear. I would rather work side by side with a freak than with a fascist.

this is strong evidence that the ACLU and EFF are gearing up to tackle payment processors. keep up the pressure! there is no one single silver bullet, getting our Ws requires pressure from all fronts! We can do this!

Ive been made aware that the Patreon AI Survey link going around is ID tagged and therefore, unfortunately, all of the responses through that specific link are likely going to be purged. this link does not have the ID tag. I'm sorry to ask folks to fill it out again, but i recommend doing so.

if you aren't a patreon creator but ARE a patron and want patreon to know you DO NOT WANT AI ON THE PLATFORM and Do not support creators that use Ai You can always send them an email or support note about your concerns regarding their policies around Ai support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/req...

let's just tell them outright that we do not support generative AI and how it impacts very negatively on the environment, the people and it fundamentally supports the slavery.

If you're a Patreon creator who hasn't received the AI survey, request it through their support ticket: support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/req... If you did receive it already, please do it. Make it clear you don't want AI on the platform in any way.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Karla Ortiz@kortizart.bsky.social · last yr.

Friends, we got a call to action 👇 We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi! This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 ! If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

HEY Do you want to save PORN from being kicked off this platform?? Go tell them your grievances then! Bluesky is built off the backs of queers, furries, POC, and sex workers alike WE were the first to join the site back when it was invite only, and WE should have a say in whether we belong!

When these fuckers talk about porn they also mean that sweet conversation about polyamory in your story, the cute flirting between two gay characters in your story, the mere existence of transness in your story. Your story will not be exempt. Be aware now. Be ready to push back now.

I hope people are ready to be as relentless about this as they are about paypros. As ever, Bluesky built this site off our backs and like everyone that came before them, they're gearing up to try and shake us off with this vague pile of bullshit. Just think about how their mod tools behave *now*.

feeling the nooze tightening in the latest community guidelines

Ppl on Twitter got way too comfortable letting algorithms do the work for them and eventually stopped actively sharing and talking about their favorite art or artists. That's how it felt to me anyway. The automated nature of the place just...stalled out meaningful interaction with creative work

OH MY GOD WE ARE WINNING YALL KEEP CALLING DO NOT STOP DO NOT STOP CALLING LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING!!!
