Okay, I think I need to make a pinned one about this now, as I've just had two accounts I've had to block in 10 minutes.
Either have your age visible on your profile, or link back to somewhere that does, or I'm going to block you if I don't personally know you.
Please.
Throwing this out here to try and get back into the swing of stuff again.

This line, from the end of In Between, will stick with me forever. It's slightly abbreviated as the original version said this in the context of terminal illness (and is not as universally applicable), but this one line has been a mantra for me, to help me let go of past mistakes and regrets.

Honestly I get annoyed when I see people making fun of others for falling for what they deem an obvious scam

Like, all it takes is one slip up. Maybe someone was really exhausted or stressed, and they impulsively click a link

Since it’s so obvious to you how about you spread awareness to help

Hey, guys. Could use some opinions on something with art-uploading, including with how it pertains to FA's resolution limits etc. Please have a quick look over here and let me know your thoughts.

Any Windows 11 users know how to get Reflector 4 to work on there? If not, does anyone know of any good IPad mirroring software that can fulfil the same purpose?

I don't really upload art here anymore, but I'm struggling with the inertia of uploading stuff even on FA.
The recent state of things has been *comprehensively* exhausting.

So I had a call with someone at Bluesky, and obviously, we still want to keep our eyes peeled for problems, but I came out of it pretty reassured that it’s not Bluesky’s intent to go after furry art and queer expression.

Actively talk about how insane this is let people who are not online know how much this will impact them and how fucking creepy is. Stuff like this pass easily due to apathy and distractions like what’s going on in global politics. Once shit like this is in no government will chose to remove it

I would just like to stress:

IF YOU FALL FOR THE "SOMEONE IMPERSONATED YOU" SCAM AND CHANGE YOUR EMAIL/DOWNLOAD A SUSPICIOUS PROGRAM/CLICK ON A LINK THEY SEND YOU, YOUR BLUESKY ACCOUNT IS GONE.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING IT BACK. PAYING THE SCAMMER WILL NOT GET YOUR ACCOUNT BACK. IT WILL BE DELETED.
There's a new wrinkle in the "Sorry I accidentally reported your account" scam.

It looks like the scammers are now doubling up and sending their messages from multiple accounts at once. I received these two DMs within minutes of each other from two separate hacked accounts. Kinda genius actually.

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech

Just as a reminder, I'm far more active, art-wise, over on my FA, which is in my profile.
I still feel relatively hesitant to post a lot of the stuff I do on here, whereas on FA it's a bit more robust for that purpose.
Still going to randomly shitpost and such here, though.

We went from 3 countries being opposed to chat control to 6 in about a week.

But there's still a lot of countries undecided, and more countries in favour, so keep calling, keep emailing, keep sharing. We need more support before the vote in October.

🚨If you're in Europe, remember to contact your EU representatives to tell them you are OPPOSED to chat control.🚨

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again.

If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

Done my first one of these, this time featuring @kaijusaur.io !

Just a basic growth ray is a little lacking for Dimitri, given how...galactic that he can get sometimes.

You know it's going to get spectacular when just the targeting system is doing that.
