During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

i love my besties so much, they let me infodump about my ocs and worldbuilding for 4 hours...

i appreciate all of the people and platforms that have reached out about hosting my comics in the wake of tapas shutting down, but unfortunately i'm still waiting to hear back about my work from tapas itself so i can't really give anyone an answer for the forseeable future 😓 sorry

Really wished more people shared this with their friends, esp bookish friends who don’t use Bluesky. Stop looking for rando artists on Threads then screaming you got scammed. We already vetted a bunch of real artists for you to choose from.

⚠ PSA to artists and clients on #VGen about a Discord scam going around!! ⚠ a scammer is scraping profiles (both artists and clients) to make fake discord accounts impersonating them, then reaching out to people they've worked with in the past who have their discord info publicly visible

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

quick reminder that if you're an artist here on bluesky that needs to schedule your stuff, i'm still doing this:

omg it got better, they have themes now, but also: they've began a community-powered AI flagging system to catch AI shit that the site itself doesn't, love to see it

I love portfolio day because not only is it’s fun to like, repost and follow all these wonderful artists, but now it’s like, DESPITE EVERYTHING, people are taking time out of their day to create and make something beautiful because it’s what means something to them, and that’s powerful right now.

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

Hey so I just found out that I don't qualify for Disability nor SSI for unique reasons but im still incredibly sick & multiple specialist appts per week. Im stuck between a rock & a hard place. My kofi shop has both my art book and my first chapter of my comic now. ko-fi.com/portaltohade...

Comic tip for artists who struggle with layouts or making each page not so same-y: be less literal about where your characters are sometimes. Become more artsy with emotions they feel or information they share, you don't need them standing in the same room/position like a scene from a movie

holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Furaffinity, besides being one of the most iconic pillars of the global Furry community, is one of the last bastions of what used to be mainstream art site culture where both casual viewers and artists mingle without competition. Please support its continued operation.

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

I got the email this morning. It's.... gosh. Heartbreaking. This capitalism trend of buying companies that are doing FINE, THANK YOU, and then shutting them down because they're not making BILLIONS... Ugh. I hate this. I haaaaaate this.
