Okay new Dream Journal thread for myself since I've started getting more vivid and absolutely bizarre dreams as of late and I like talking about them

Still not quite as weird as a recent dream in my old house where I had Katy, my mom's two cats (a tuxedo and calico), some random tabby that looked identical to Katy, and a cat (dog??) that was very clearly a sheared sheep but I was too busy working out how Katy would deal with things to question it

I was debating it, but the scene I saw beforehand was two Big Birds and an assortment of strangers having a block party and the area wasn't quite what it actually looked like. Still within walking distance though

Had a dream this morning, The Count from Sesame Street was dead and they were having a raging party in his honor down the street from my apartment. I walked up to some organizer person and they were like "yeah take your shirt off go crazy" and I looked and people had already started doing that

I think this lip sync tutorial can still help many, so here you go :)

This doesn't change what we should do.

Even if the story is right, and THEY told IMAs without research.

Visa and Mastercard carelessly made an extremely important decision, which impacted millions of people.

Keep calling them! I'll try to look for IMA info.

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net

my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

These scrap rats are also back, incredibly popular plushies from last year that I should have done more of but it’s all good

Hello attendees of #terrificon I have an adoptable cat #puppet among other things for this weekend! Come say hi at table B2! #terrificon2025

Get a Therapist

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Please don't stop calling them. If you do, they'll win, and we cannot afford to let them win. We must keep the pressure going until they listen to us.

Every time I see the convention I'm selling at this weekend get a new guest or some sort of a promo thing my anxiety ratchets up a bit
I PROCRASTINATED ON PLUSHIES THAT ARE WICKED POPULAR MY STOCK IS GONNA BE DESTROYED (in a good way) I'M NOT READY

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

With all these scammers going around, feels like a good time to tap the sign that needs constantly tapping.

If you want to DM someone you've never contacted before, never just say "Hey" or "How are you doing?" and that's it. Anyone in their right mind would assume it's spam.

I found her gofundme! She's already raised 41.5k of her 45k goal for gas, vehicle maintenance, phone/internet costs (for posting the videos), food and supply drives for the community, and emergency funds in case she gets into legal trouble:

Drawings of my OC Flash, a canid furry with black hair, ears, and multicolored blue and red eyes— on the right there’s a fullbody of him holding his bat adjusting his 3D glasses, wearing a unbuttoned baseball jersey and a blue long sleeve underneath and red pants and black sneakers. On the left are toony style halfbody doodles on the top is him his back facing us as he is holding a peace sign. The bottom doodle is him playing a handheld console, with text reading “Everything sucks right now. Can you blame me for being a little nostalgic?”

you guys ever draw an oc you havent drawn in a while and suddenly its like a light switches on in your brain and your hyperfixation comes back full force anyway thats me with Flash i love him so much #ocsky #kjsocs #polarityskies #originalcharacter

Rember a large amount you see of AI is manufactured to push it as bigger then it is to try to seed a market. The investment is crazy and they are in debt in billions. Keep supporting your peers and humans in the mean time cos it’s a stupid waiting game for the bubble.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

It really does work!:P I’ve always done this, it’s the best!

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

This is not EXCLUSIVELY about the itchio situation, by the way- this has been in the works since mid-2024 and has had the input of many adult creators on it. This has been an ongoing issue for years, and now felt like the right time to push it out!

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

The fact that itchio is looking into alternate payment options and talking about all this like an ongoing situation instead of being like "these are the new rules and always will be, fuck off" says a lot about how much they care about this. I know you want to yell at them but they're working hard

I guess I need to start including a disclaimer with every post about how Edamame and her kittens are a Foster Situation, but imma make a big grumpy face every time I do it because people sure be assuming things on the internet. Unprecedented!! Anyway look at Big Garbanzo

‼️Important Update‼️

There have been increasing reports of people receiving verbal abuse when calling in complaints

So we've put together steps + a script to follow if this happens!

Please be careful out there

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save.
