Artists do you ever get a commission that you go overboard with because it just speaks to you but you're taking a million years to finish it BECAUSE you're going overboard and feel bad that it's like a month past when you said you'd deliver it? What do you do about it? Asking for a friend #art

Saw this and it looked like fun so here's the first half of 2026. May was a tough one, shoutout to The Blacktongue Thief who lost to The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Also Our Wives Under The Sea who sadly couldn't make it but was the first book I read this year and a great start. #Booksky #BookBracket

July's reading wrap up! Books I'm carrying over into August are: -Stealing America: The Hidden Story of Indigenous Slavery in US History by Linford D Fisher -A Queer History of the United States by Michael Bronski (reread) -Road to Revenge: A dark Sapphic Why Choose by Kylie Cross #booksky

Oh my god I was mostly done writing up the alt text of my reading wrap up when I realized I forgot to log a book last month UGGGHHHH TIME TO START OVER

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 6d ago

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

"I was in a hurry and used AI. Oops, sorry it was all wrong." Darlings. Sweethearts. Listen to me. If you're in a creative field and do this, you have no excuse. None. Especially now. The gen AI stole from YOU. The gen AI stole from your FRIENDS. It is wrong a lot! You should know and do better.

My most important bill right now is my Internet ($317). If I get that paid I can work from home, and I’m still waiting for unemployment to roll in. #mutualaid #helpfolkslive #lgbtqia #billhelp

I made a typo in the image— my car payment is $1000. But I got fired and I’m waiting for unemployment to kick in while I job hunt! Please help. #mutualaid #helpfolkslive ko-fi.com/zrsio4/goal?...

Never let someone tell you that you must excuse owning enslaved people or participating in killing Native people because someone was "of their time". Silas Soule was of the same time.

Remembering Silas Soule, born OTD in 1838. American abolitionist, conductor on the Underground Railroad, military officer, and hero for disobeying orders to participate in Sand Creek Massacre and then giving evidence against his commander. Murdered 1865. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silas_S...

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

When I could hide my disabilities, people accepted me. When I couldn’t hide them, they tolerated me. When I became vocal & demanded ableism be addressed, they abandoned me. This is why we need a Disability Pride month. This is why we need advocates. We shouldn’t have to hide.

saw this earlier and it genuinely broke my heart i'm not AMAB for the record but every nonbinary person deserves to belong in queer spaces

Anyone wanna take a guess on the cost of our groceries from yesterday? I'll give you a hint. On a scale of one to ten it makes me pissed at runaway inflation #groceries #inflation

Requesting your library acquire copies of a book is one of the best ways to uplift the authors you love.

Sunny Moraine@dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social · 2w ago

If you want to read a book and your library doesn’t have it, it is truly a massive favor to an author to request that the library acquire it. It really and truly is

Horror friends! Have you heard the good news about worker-owned magazine Darker Times? For the price of an overpriced fancy croissant a month, you could be reading reviews, commentary, and news. Which sounds better than that croissant, really.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium teamed up with Trinity to find out what bin everyday waste items belong in: recycle, compost, or trash. ♻️🌿🗑️ As she puts her sorting skills to the test, we’re also focused on how we can get plastic out of our system—before it becomes waste in the first place.

The answer to the loneliness crisis isn't telling people with long Covid & other disabilities to take more health risks. It's creating a society where people don't have to choose between protecting their health & participating in community in the first place
