Some #topsurgery related #doodles along with other musings related to my body build and my brand of stream-of-consciousness doodling that's usually reserved for my sketchbooks. Muscle memory is weird.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.
Hey any #topsurgery folks have experience with skin glue and the healing process behind that? The scars are finally being exposed and they look sealed in the spaces where the glue peeled off on it's own. But how soon is too soon to try and nudge it along? I'm a month into recovery, for reference
Since middle school I would be like "Wouldn't it be neat if we could physically shift back and forth between genders to use different bathrooms?" And slowly starting to draw myself without boobs in the 2010s before someone called me out on it. So I'm nonbinary now

Been caught up in #dressmaker recently, as many others are, and I finally got around to making a #doodle of how I look in the game as the Dressmaker Featuring Rose, one of my favorite characters #dressmakergame
I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.
Hey Robl0x creators can we stop making Big Thigh Cutie Girl bodies that work with 2D stuff and can be matched with other heads without looking weird? All the decent bodies aren't recolorable and only 3D clothes and it bugs me >:(

I'm seeing a few folks unaware during the whole "moving from Tapas to ComicFury" scenario that bears repeating: ComicFury does NOT have an app! Do not download whatever fake CF app is out there. CF has a custom-built mobile viewer on most of its hosted sites. Use the browser website!!
Wait hold on I'm on FMLA for another couple weeks, I don't need to obsessivelly meal prep and save the ice bricks for work lunches I CAN JUST COOK THINGS
#topsurgery I think it's also because my nerves are doing handshakes but I'm actually hitting a pain level where it doesn't suck but it's annoyingly persistent, might have to take tylenol actually
#topsurgery damn they weren't kidding about how getting the drains pulled out feels WEIRD. Like yeah I had a bit more stinging on my left side (that side was more sensitive from the get-go) but overall it was less pain and more like EUGH IT'S SPOOLED IN THERE THAT'S UNCOMFORTABLE
Some #topsurgery venting in #doodle form This is all gonna be worth it in the end but by god getting to the end is gonna be annoying!
You know, I'm seeing a lot of blame?? placed on webcomic creators for using Tapas instead of their own hosting site, and I'm just saying like...can we not? Small artist v corporation, guess which one always wins Anyway, let's work on options for READERS to build their own reading list, maybe
Hello fellow webcomickers! We've heard the news about Tapas, so we've updated our list on where to HOST your webcomic. Come check it out! screentonescast.com/view/116 It has info cards on what we've gathered from multiple options for you to consider!
If you're a Tapas creator thinking about where your comics go next, I have built a free tool that imports your whole series β episodes, images, thumbnails, publish dates β straight into WordPress. leetoo.net/import-your-... #webcomics

Mom's staying overnight for my first week of #topsurgery recovery and technically I could still stay up later and chat with friends, and she can't do anything about it because I'm an ADULT And then she peeks through my door with a judging look and oh look at that it's 10pm I should go sleep!!
What is happening with clip studio? Looks like they might be potentially be bullied into compliance by payment processers similar to the Steams and Itch .ios adult games getting massive purges. "This includes plans to strengthen the system to include age restrictions" potential Age verification?
I got #topsurgery this past Wednesday and I haven't touched anything stronger than beefed up tylenol as far as pain management goes. And even then I haven't needed much. Guess my heavy upper body excercize from work helped with that???
can we PLEASE bring back the word "poser" and stop using "larp" or "cosplay" - being a "poser" or "faking" being into something is lazy and disingenuous whereas cosplayers and actual larpers are passionate about their hobbies and out a lot of time and effort into them
Less than an hour before the Top 100 Stream and I completely forgot to show off my entry for #GauntletofGods #3Dcommunitychallenge . It's Ghost! One of my main characters! :D #blender3d youtu.be/15cis_C3z-4?...

If you make a character appeal to an βaudienceβ youβre gonna be miserable. Mary sues are a stupid concept. Make your OC powerful Make what YOU want to see and what you like. Who cares if itβs been done before, or if itβs similar to another character, or might be cringe. Itβs YOUR OC
What advice would you give to someone who wants to create an original character? What have you learned from your own creativity? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY
Ah well. I'm fully aware that Bluesky itself has a lot of AI coding in it, but I think the moral thing to do is cut down on extraneous, pointless use of it as much as possible. Bluesky serves as a utility, while this stupid contest is completely useless, so it can easily be discarded.
π¨π¨π¨BLUESKY 38 IS AI SLOPπ¨π¨π¨ PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE sorry to ruin everyones fun πππ
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that thereβs no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowlingβs bigotry and the structural violence sheβs inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBOβs Harry Potter series
You canβt without supporting Rowlingβs transphobic bigotry.

Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.
The amount of working artists I've spoken to who are losing or have lost the ability to make a viable career out of it due largely to people's use of genAI instead of hiring artists is genuinely so upsetting. We won't know what we've lost until it's gone.
