A digital drawing of the Loch Ness Monster swimming with moss growing on its back and seaweed tangled on its flippers. The original 1934 photo is on the left side with a red heart drawn over the monster as several yellow cutout stars decorate the illustration. Word cutouts frame the drawing of Nessie that say “You may not see me anymore, but I still love you”.

please donate to your local food banks if you can. I know it seems silly to give like $5-10 if that's all you can spare but if a lot of people do it then it can help. And obv if you cannot you cannot.

I am keeping an eye on my budget to see what I can send to mine by the end of the month ♥

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

only quote skeeting to make a related point, not to dunk on you bc you're right: really the issue is that a lot of trans men feel unsafe around other men but then turn it into an issue of 'we're not REALLY men' (transphobic) instead of asking the question, 'why are men's spaces unsafe for men'

tina, sex change freedom fighter @antinoe.prettyfem.me · 14d

also, like. do trans men actually like have this massive need to be in lesbian spaces? maybe for safety but most trans men i know even non binary ones don't really have the *desire*

isaac 🍂 @androgynyfiend.bsky.social · 14d

the constant discourse about trans men in lesbians spaces is so divorced from reality I s2fg. maybe it's bc I'm from kansas bc "lesbian spaces" = space for anyone, just dominated my lesbians vs "gay space" which is actually advertised as that

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

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.

You don't have to let those subscriptions you barely use renew.
