It's hard to be this vulnerable online, but I feel like the bucket of cold water is extremely necessary to understand how exhausted we all are.

We've lost and rebuilt our audiences a dozen times, pivoted, weathered storms, added additional streams of revenue, and the sisyphus boulder gets heavier.

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

I also really really like macabre art a lot 👉👈
the colors and textures are just so good

I actually really like abstract/minimalist art even if it's just a red square or something sometimes it just feels good to observe a Shape

Since "Give Me Your [topic] Takes" seem to be back in season, let's do one I don't see too much:

Give me your hottest Fine Art* Takes.

(* not using "fine art" as a value judgement, just to indicate "paintings and sculptures and shit")

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

like I will NEVER get over how S/V runs like shit because the entire paldea region is in a massive ocean that stretches so far out of bounds that it bogs down the entire switch, like it's such a huge goof on a technical level but they just ran with it anyway lol

Some of this is just video game company higher ups reacting in panic and anger to increased visibility/scrutiny of their behavior alongside worker organizing over the past 10 years.

you see a lot of companies saying stuff like this and then I think about the kind of people in charge of pulling games like this and I start to wonder who really got offended you know what I mean

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

yesterday on twitter, some of the biggest far right doxxing users were suspended and then elon musk caught wind, and reinstated them. get everyone you can off twitter. it is firmly a pro-doxxing-if-you’re-far-right platform

Underrated fursona idea: the grasshopper mouse. It is a carnivorous rodent that 1. Is continuously evolving a higher pain threshold and toxin tolerance to be able to eat live snakes and scorpions while they fight back, and 2. Defends its territory by howling like a tiny wolf. Hardcore little beast

idk how to explain to people that if it weren't for the 2 people in my life I wouldn't talk at all because speaking is difficult & I hate doing it and trying to mask it + a hearing disorder is exhausting because it feels like an inconvenience to everyone else.
my head is stuffed with fluff!
