in the dark, dark desert... ☀

An illustration of two male characters crouching and looking at the viewer with a threatening atmosphere. The leftmost character is an elf with a chubby body type and long hair with a curly bang. He's holding a bone club and has ripped sleeves exposing his scarred arms. The rightmost character is a tall human man with long, wild hair. He is wearing a cloak, shredded fingerless gloves, and long pants with boots. Behind them is a dark night sky and a red star.

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

hello #PortfolioDay! i'm zack, an illustrator and comic artist who likes drawing dark fantasy, horror, and queer men. i'm available for illustration and comic gigs! #oc #illustration #comics VGen | Portfolio | Links | vampbyte.art@gmail.com

A dark illustration of a vampire wearing a tattered hood. He has shaggy black hair, red eyes, and long fingernails. He's holding a strange occult object with a dangling crow's foot at the end. In the background, various other unusual occult objects (a mask, a jar with a fetus, a skeletal hand with jewelry, etc.) are visible. The art has a red ornamental border with the word BLAISE on one side.

An illustration featuring a man with long blonde hair bathed in blue shadow. He's looking over his shoulder at a mirror which is reflecting itself over and over in its center. The art is bordered with a white glass-like border featuring angel wings. Text on the left side reads "Wanderer of Time" and "Angel of Man"

An illustration of a long haired man with elf ears looking somberly at the viewer. He has tear tracks down his cheeks. he is standing in front of a series of eroded statues, each of which also has tears in its eyes and is overgrown with foliage. The sky is red and ominous behind them.

An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.

mirror me

An illustration of a shadowy figure with curly hair standing beside a crooked mirror. In the mirror, the same person is lying on their back holding a rose to their chest, staring blankly ahead as though dead. The art is primarily black and white with a red glowing background.,

"So, Boum, how do you write dialogues for your graphic novels?" It's easy! First you write dialogues as a script. Then you modify the dialogues at the storyboard stage, then you modify them again at the pencilling stage, at the inking stage, at the colour stage, at the lettering stage, ...

A baseball bat with old, bent nails and screws greets you. It hovers above its place, blood dripping down its end.

"RUN" is hidden behind the weapon. Its distorted text is bubbling and morphing into its own letter forms.

I come back to this tumblr post again and again

Tumblr post by sunderwight: The current AI situation is like if the people who were pushing NFTs had successfully gotten everyone to start referring to any and all digital transactions as an NFT, thus allowing them to pretend that things like online shopping, downloadable video games, bank transfers, etc were closely related to convincing middle-aged would-be techies to invest serious money in ugly digital paintings, and hold the former examples up in defense of the latter any time someone pointed out that the whole NFT thing was a racket. What do you mean NFTs are bad, don't you want disabled people to be able to use their phones to have medication delivered to their doorstep? Wow. Horrible of you, really.

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

Quick PSA for all your medieval linen coifs, up until the 15th century, no loose laces in the sources! ☝️

The drake meme, refusing a head wearing a linen white coif with its laces untied, accepting a head wearing the same coif with properly knotted laces. Somehow drake is wearing a 14th century armor.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'

I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!

art of a wolf girl eating broccoli and brushing her teeth. the dialogue says:
I've been an adult living on my own for a coupleyears now and since I have ADHD and bouts of Sick Brain Disease I can fall into a rut easilyESPECIALLY when it comesto taking care of myselfbut the awesome thing about being an adult is that no one is watching over your shoulder making
sure you're perfect i used to give myself shit that i wouldn't be able to eat healthier or take care of myself in an optimal way here's a cool trick tho: ANYTHINGis is better than nothing. if you can only eat a couple vegetables? buddy thats better than no vegetables. worried about brushing your teeth for like three minutes? do like ten seconds instead want to socialize more often but you're worried you can't do multi-hour events? babe you're an adult now, if you get tired you can just leave lol If you want to improve, fuck yeah, work your way up to more of whatever. starting at all is the hard part - if you can do that then you've got a lot of what you need already anyway ive crunched the numbers and treating yourself a little bit better than yesterday is actually a million times better than trying to Fix Your Life Completely and getting mad when you can't do a 180. be nice and recognize that you can live a lot of your life in first or second drafts; if you're not perfect yet? fuck it, you'll get better later! u can do it!!! woof!!
