People are so Capitalism-pilled that they see "user number big" as preferable + a reason Bluesky is "lesser" than other social media. But consider this: I don't want to be in a bigger, angrier, shittier crowd of people. I want to be in the smaller, curated, better behaved and more loyal crowd.
Nothing will teach you anatomy better than the all-consuming drive to draw a character in a variety of sexy poses and angles.
Cricket@krysiilys.bsky.social · 19h agoIt still rings true that the best way to get better as an artist is to become so all-consumed with a piece of media or character that you are compelled to draw fanart constantly. Even better if you're horny about it.

also truly where the new star treks fail is they're too self-conscious to embrace Truly Whatever The Fuck for non-uniform outfits. stop dressing people with normal contemporary 2020s outfits and start haphazardly throwing 90s bowling alley carpet swatches at them
alyson “end journalism” greaves@badambulist.bsky.social · last wk.she’s so pretty I need a spin-off show about her adventures
The doctor who tried to save lives during Covid is being treated like a villain. The traitors who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being treated like victims or heroes. It's American madness.

oh hey...Tumblr is allowing me to scroll accounts with explicit content in a normal way again. nice.
there are two types of fans of things- those who treat it like a hobby and understand it's ok to laugh at things you enjoy and those who use it to replace church or whatever in their lives and are very vigilant against Blasphemy
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · last wk."Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."
Trump's penchant for being seen dressed up as (so far) a general, a doctor, and Jesus really brings his odd obsession with The Village People into focus
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · last wk.Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
*Everywhere* used to smell of cigarette smoke. Restaurants are the obvious example that everyone thinks of, but people used to smoke in banks, on buses, airplanes, post offices, movie theaters, and even public schools. Also, it used to be considered normal to drive home completely-ass drunk.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · last wk.Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Every fiber of my being is vibrating with desire to reply “no, you are the first. This is groundbreaking. Boosting for visibility” even though I know it would get me banned from r/askhistorians
This is how we get people to care in November. Good job, Raw Story.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2w agoGood framing.
i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys
if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
A company in Mexico hired a stray orange cat as its Emotional Support Director and named him “Miauricio.” Daily duties include roaming the workplace, delivering smiles & reducing stress levels. He has his own workspace and ID badge. #AGoodPlace
Y'all remember latex knight? Well have a lace knight. Maybe I'll make them kiss, who knows
