I make pixelart in my spare time. Blood and horror are common themes in my work (tw).

Other social media accounts can be found on my carrd above.

Illustration of a large brass machine surrounded by smoke. The machine is shaped like a curved cylinder with a chimney at its tip spewing smoke into the sky. On one side of the machine there is a large metal grate. The machine has one single eye which sheds a tear. The rest of the background is shrouded in smoke, with small buildings at the bottom of the image over shadowed by the machine.

Illustration of two near-identical figures sitting together. They wear pink frilly dresses which resemble raw meat, and bonnets with teeth-like frills around the brim. Blood pours down their chests and waists, staining their dresses. Their arms are intertwined, and tangled into a bloody twist. Their faces are blank, with only one large eye drawn on either face. Their hair is golden and curly.

Illustration of a lamb-like doll, with the top half of the figure visible and the bottom half an abstract mess of blood and viscera. The doll stands upright to the right, and has a reluctant look on its face. The doll has a white dress, hair and face with a red bow which drips downward. Beneath the bow is a bell which is pouring with blood. The background is dark

Illustration of Circus Baby resting on a barbed wire fence. In the background is a field of long golden grass and a fence with vague trees behind it, the trees blending into the sky in a swirly mess. To the left there is a slaughterhouse off in the distance, emitting smoke into the sky. The sky is made up of swirly golden clouds, with the dark green swirly leaves hanging in from the top and top right corner of the image. In the foreground there is the barbed wire fence with golden roses growing around the wooden fence posts. The ground is a thick dark green grass with a river of blood streaming towards the viewer on the left. Circus baby is depicted with elements of her original design from the fnaf games, but her red dress has a white apron and there is a golden bow beneath her neck. Her dress is torn and her apron is soaked in blood. As she rests on the barbed wire, the skin on her arm tears downward in a vague and unclear manner, yet her expression remains a smug smile.

This has become such a common occurrence on that platform. Literally every verified account in the main feed is just reuploading stuff. It's frustrating.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

01 of #septempera! A fancy goat.

Got a bit overambitious for the time I had but it turned out okay I think. Added some crayons too.

I feel like I'm the only one who knows about these. They were made by someone who created a flashgame from my childhood. I don't care if they're short I love them. Short games can still be fantastic.

She wears a red dress with a blue macaron drum strapped on, with a red hat and macaron pigtails. She's decorated with hollyberries and her eyelashes are white sherbet

In Rockhampton, these birds are common. When I visited the city a month ago, I saw them steal sugar packets from cafes. I wasn't able to figure out why, but it's possible they wanted to tear open the packets and eat the sugar inside.
