Is anyone else having a ton of issues with the search function on here?

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.

It’s getting harder and harder to greet the say with a “business as usual” attitude for sure…

Oh, and of COURSE the photo I took of this tattoo is fucking terrible 🤣

A screenshot of alt text that says, “A drawing of 2 roses and a stem with leaves in the same composition as the previous image except it doesn’t suck.”

Sure do hope I’m doing alt text right.

If my client doesn’t like what I drew, I might cry.

Literally begging my tattoo clients to stop sending me AI generated references.

Maybe I'm being cruel, but who seriously looks at those fake giant dragon sofas and says, "Yes, take all my money."

I think that saying this in his face, knowing what we know, is some real bravery that should be emulated by more people in positions of leadership. I know words are cheap and you cannot shame trump, he is a monster, but it is good for us, the little people, to see this occasionally

I am genuinely having a hard time finding compassion for folks who get scammed by products that are obviously AI...The crystal mugs? The fake couture dresses? Really? Y'all need your wallets taken away.

Thank you! I'm proud of me too.

I woke up today. That was an accomplishment after the weekend 😂

Just learned there's a Batman villain that's just an anthro orca with big naturals

Every now & then I think about how people frame the #MeToo "era" as an "era" & not the ongoing reality in which women & girls have always lived.

hello, back to drawing

I am brooding over how big a red flag it is for an artist or writer to single out anyone who comes to a reading or a book signing and begin DMing them personally/inviting them out after the fan expresses adoration for their work. The power differential is SO big, and the potential for abuse extreme.

✨ I'm hosting a secret Valentine's exchange in my Discord server 👀 There aren't any limitations to what you can create, so this is open to visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, etc.

The deadline for filling out the form in the Discrod is Jan 15th discord.gg/aArU8MYavX

Coming out of my social media hiatus to inform y'all that a new artist is guest spotting at the tattoo shop and I decided to do some sleuthing. Pretty sure I found his Tumblr and he makes some quality Homestuck and Transformers filth.

I think we'll vibe.

I am ridiculously proud of this book and would like more people to read it. It's a collection of three long pieces of fiction. CLOSING COSTS and the award-winning ONE FOR THE ROAD were previously published, but the brand new short novel THREESOME is one of my very favorite things I've written.

It's such a beautifully horrifying creature design. And the concept of it, how it manifests and destroys you from the inside out, is probably one of my favorites.

I watched Smile 2 the other day and I’m still shook. The soundtrack is a banger too. Unironically my feel good music for the weekend.

Sounds like we need a starter pack of super cool people
