We are working out the finer details - but early indications are that we can provide housing regardless of your employment status, without a deposit.

Any profit goes into a pot to buy more properties. All held *in trust* solely for the use of transitioning or transitioned people. Forever.

We are pleased to announce that we have secured 10s of 1000s of pounds (so far) to buy property that will form the start of a social housing system for trans people in the UK.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

The Reality of AI Animal Content – Sedgwick County Zoo
If you spend any time on social media, you’ve probably seen them – bears bouncing on trampolines, apes caught on doorbell cameras, or “rescued” wild animals acting in ways that seem too good to be…

So if I don't get this new job (still shitting myself until the 12th).. I think I'm going to just.. quit at the pet shop.

I spoke up 2 weeks ago about a cage they were selling a hamster in being completely unsuitable and since then I've had 0 shifts.

I'm tired of having the piss taken out of me.

Vitamin C Sunrise. Here, I recrystallized ascorbic acid, aka vitamin C, aka C6H8O6 onto a microscope slide and viewed the formations with polarized light and a "retarder," both of which bring out detail and color from the crystal formations. This one would fit on the compound eye of a bee.

Mother-in-law got me lego for my birthday :D

Just finished building it and look how cute ; ;

I built her little cherry blossom one for her last month and stole a spare tiny pink frog (they use them for the tiny buds, I cry)

So I added it to the base of my Acer :3c

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

Reminder that I'm still looking fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com
It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

I.. dude..
I'm so tired of working at this shop...

They posted a DAMN PUBLIC POST today

'Spotnose clown python ready for a new home after his fresh shed'

*3 photos of a crispy ass dehydrated Royal stuck in the middle of a godawful shed*

Told them LAST WEEK that a bunch of snakes were shedding.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I'm going to bed now I swear

But man.. I just wanna make some designs lately :(

I wish I could justify spending the time on adopts when they're kinda hard to sell

I like designing cute lil doods but I inevitably spend too much time on them lmao.

Already have loads rotting in my Ko-fi

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Just remembered the metric fuckton of NFC tags I have.... I need to make physical badges again, weh.

I should get some new markers and like a cheap laserjet printer so I don't have to do lineart lmao, that's my biggest crux with physical badges, I always manage to fuck up the linework.
