a 25 year old could not comprehend how bad the dining options were in the median American town in 1996

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

FA being told by advertisers that the most mundane of art is just too risqué to work with should be a good indicator why trying making your fandom squeaky clean to appease people, who will never be happy, is a shitty idea

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.

lmao i just learned that if you bring two ppl who hate a play to the theater to see it together they’ll still get a lot of support points because they’ll bond over being haters

TLDR: Fur Affinity's advertising partners are demanding that they ban adult content. Sciggles and FA want to firmly tell them to go fuck themselves. If they're going to be able to afford to do that, they need the community's help. Pitch in. Keep furry weird. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1143...

Calling all NYC artists — painters, filmmakers, poets, musicians and more! Did you know our city provides grants to support your work every year? And this year, we're DOUBLING the amount — from $5,000 up to $10,000 per artist! Deadlines are approaching fast — apply today at nyc.gov/artistgrants.

I’ve just been informed on what a “skeb” commission is and tbh I’m just going to continue calling such things “artistic freedom” comms. This is a situation where I don’t think that online lingo benefits the broader art market, and it’s especially alienating for clients who aren’t also artists🙃

FA is the only anti-ai, ACTUAL functional gallery site left on the internet not ruined by algorythmic bs, support if you can

I haven’t posted Pigeon in a while! Raised by birds, she destroys anti-bird spikes and hostile architecture. She sleeps in a park and lets the local children draw on her with sidewalk paint.

it goes the other way around too u gotta be okay being a little annoyed with your friends. like not in a letting them be unhealthy with you way, but in a People are flawed and can’t be 100% perfect way. otherwise you will have no human friends & will look to things like chatbots for catered solace

one of the worst and most terrifying pieces of information that ive learned is that in order to make friends you kind of have to be annoying to people. and if they like it thenn you can be friends. friendship is just when you both like when the other one is annoying

I don’t think we’ll find a more apt metaphor for the pervasiveness of AI than what’s on display here. “I don’t want that!” “Yes, you do!” Can we think of any other circumstances in which a person may decline someone’s advances, but they force themselves on them, anyway?

I apologize for being slow about submitting artwork as of late. I know I shouldn’t, but I always feel guilty when I’m not my most productive self. Tendonitis pain has taken a toll on my mental health again, and my day job certainly isn’t helping to honor my physical limitations.

I have a surgery consultation for my wrist, but that’s a month away. I also have my foot surgery to worry about in November, which is an even bigger undertaking, so I’m still torn on what to deal with first. Both problems hinder my quality of life quite significantly. I’m exhausted by it all.

…And mom is still jobless, aside from all of the above. If anyone’s interested in commissioning me, feel free to reach out. I could really use the extra income since my partner and I have a mortgage. My turnaround isn’t speedy, but I like to think I pace myself well on owed work.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."

werewolf TF should let you choose between biped and quadruped because i just wanna be a silly lil guy sometimes and get picked up by a guy who probably loves Linkin Park and Adderall

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

Replying to @notalawyer.bsky.social

Both el-sayed and Mamdani are experts at the conversational aikido of simply refusing to engage with nonsubstantive shit in a substantive manner and if it wasn’t obvious before now how easy it is to do this there really isn’t any excuse for other Dems at this point
