Adding to that. I'll be opening digital painting commissions too. Same rules as before, DM me if interested.
(Also, while all examples are furry, that's not a requirement. I draw humans to.)

If the Dems can grow a backbone, they'd absolutely be using this agaist the Trump administration. Trump gasses babies would be such an easy point against him.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

I'm no economist, but I doubt investing all our funds into tech that's unreliable, unpopular, and unprofitable is a good strategy.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

If you intend to keep using Windows, you can remove the "AI" garbage and telemetry with Windows 11 Debloat.

It also works on Windows 10, because Windows 10 ALSO has Copilot.

Nobody you haven't met needs to know your face, your clothing, your scars or tattoos, when you go to protest.

Wear long pants, long sleeves, leave jewelry and anything with a wifi, cellular, or Bluetooth at home. Change your height if possible. Don't leave behind gum or anything you drink from.

the Mountain Goats @themountaingoats.bsky.social · 2d

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.
