Welp, burned through cooking energy doing taxes. I guess I should have started when I got home.

Yep, Downdetector says there are some problems going on.

I love the shape on that tail! It looks so solid.

I'm sorry, but sometimes if you want to see a really specific type of niche media you just gotta make it yourself.

I'm cleaning up my shop and found two nearly-finished iridescent trans flag stained glass suncatchers that I had forgotten about but went ahead and wrapped up tonight. I'd love to find them homes — they're pretty big (11.5"x7.5"), $200 each. DM if you're interested! 💖

I wonder if they're ever confused when they meet up and things eventually fizzle out because they're not a chatbot in person.

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

Welp, after finally getting a hair straightener and straightening the yarn tails, they suddenly lost a LOT of volume.

They still look pretty and saleable, but there's definitely more work to be done refining the process.

Picrew is free, you can just use it.

Yarn tails prepared for the upcoming convention. Short and long version. I'm still working on how exactly to price them if anyone has input. :3

Honestly the terms have become so overused and watered down that they mean literally nothing and I tend to ignore them.

Sure, I'd love a spreadsheet!

Though to be transparent, as a beginner I know there is often a very rough stage where your work night not be of a quality to meet the cost of time and materials.

Fish cranial kinesis model is now listed in my Etsy shop! Hopefully useful for showing the mechanism that opens and closes a teleost fish's mouth.

Beautiful, especially with the lights too. Honestly you could raise the price on this, it looks like a lot of work went into it.

And the beauty of it is despite all the fear mongering is if you don't like it you can just go "nah" and stop.

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
