For safe handling, always remember to clearly label whether your toxic yuri is neurotoxic, hemotoxic, infectious, corrosive, radioactive, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or other.

For those who don't know, this is a riff on a famous poster that depicts every vice and sin censored by the Hays Code for movies

Today is the 2 year Anniversary of my final (cancer) Radiation treatment, marking me officially NED (no evidence of disease). Yay! Commemorating with a feed of my EBRT waiting room daily sketches :D #theCancerSketchbook #cancer #CanSky #pcsm

i've seen people do it before and get hired. it may be better to be up-front about that anyway, so there are no surprises

in an ideal world it'd provide a platform for my friends & most anyone else to profit off my work in perpetuity & we'd all feel less of the stresses of capitalism, y'know? (do you know? could you stand being overshadowed by your equally or more talented friends? i love the shade.)

but it's also just being an an(art)chist lol. if shifterverse makes it to publishing it's going to be a ttrpg under creative commons sharealike. maybe with attribution. what do you MEAN you want granular control over how your audience receives & reacts to your work. i want the opposite of that!

maybe my recent obsession w/ cultural defects in the online artist sphere ultimately came from me making a character that became Popular in a tf/2 rp forum, the reckoning i had to do w/ losing creative control of him at a young age, & perceiving a lack of similar formative incidents in others. idk

i know i'm preaching to the choir but i need to be extremely clear that this 100% white supremacist great replacement shit coming directly from the figurehead of the US government. under this rhetoric "white genocide" is EXPLICITLY miscegenation (interracial coupling)

world's biggest crybabies. imagine still being buttmad that your 50 year state-enforced racial segregation ended 30 years later. "wehhhhh black africans are still oppressed in south africa but not as severelyyyy"

i know an inordinate amount about south africa for embarrassing (oc-related) reasons so please know that as white genocide shit is being televised by the white house, white south africans, esp. the landowners driving this rhetoric, are still privileged, just not as much as during apartheid.

this is real btw. elon loses much more than he makes on twitter and i doubt he's going to figure out how to break even on it with these record losses. twitter blue was only meant to offset that and we're still talking losses to the tune of ~$270 million in Q2 2022. even his ad revenue is way down.

i don't think i ever even told my friends what i found that burned that bridge for good, because frankly nobody should have to know that shit is real. i can take it because i was an edgy ass teenager who desensitized myself to death and carnage, but i feel like i have to guard it from others.

i think he came at the right time, bc i figured out the extreme end of my tolerance for bullshit is when stuff from the ABCs of Death starts to happen around me. i had all the gullibility seared out of me with a boot to the ass heated to boiling and i'm truly better off for it

Pinterest users left confused by mass account suspensions Moderation seems bizarrely trigger-happy.

artists, if you have any ref boards you don't want to lose there, back your shit up ASAP. i used wfdownloader. (im sorry i don't have any solutions for people who are mobile-only) www.theverge.com/news/660070/...

leverage did this so well that the most common pairing is m/m/f, and it started airing in 2008. the chemistry is REAL

tbqh i think everybody who played at leaving twitter for ideological reasons is really silly. i'm still posting up a storm on twitter and every single time i do elon musk loses money hand over fist. we could've killed that man with image hosting costs alone.

life is great when there's no crime system in the game but people still react negatively when you break the law. "don't climb on our shrine to the vengeful goddess woedica, are you crazy??" yes. try to stop me, i have diplomatic immunity and i will shed my fungal plaques on you if you try to grab me

the gamedev sphere really went "pixel art is expensive to make" and then completely failed to iterate on tools that could make it easier and i hate it. i hate everything being "remastered" in 3D. i saw them do it to phoenix wright and cried. i fucking love pixel art. give it back.

i actually remember being really bummed when 2DS games started going out of production, because it meant i'd be stuck with the 3DS now. i like the switch even less because i'm afraid to take it anywhere and the defects are way more obvious. i don't need a handheld console with the power of a PS3.

all my hollow metal 3DS styluses are long broken. the 2DS's is solid plastic and works like a charm, except on the 3DS screen where i played cooking mama so much that parts of it don't register touch anymore despite the screen protector. i might try to replace that, it's really worn down

i dug out my old 2-3DSes recently and i'm sure i knew this when the 3DS was curent, but it's even more obvious now how inferior a console it was. the 3DS takes a minute thirty or so to boot and then load the cartridge. the 2DS hasn't slowed down perceptibly at all despite being a much older console.

it's also almost always horror/creature artists that become their targets. same genre as their art.

this. i did a deep dive on them after i saw the last public statement i saw another artist make years ago. genuinely just a cycle of delusion-fed accusations, getting institutionalized, rinse, and repeat. if they're being harassed it's by someone who's been close to them for a very long time

they'd lose their healthcare, yeah, and then they'd just buy their own private insurance because they make over 2x as much as the median income for households as an individual

a woman in her 60s with cracked greyish-white skin and pink and purple fungal growths over her eyes that cover all the way up to her temples. a tuft of white hair sits between the pink and purple mushrooms and a colorful coral vein that sits atop the woman's head. smaller yellow fungal growths dot her skin.
