Yeah it’s a little bit wild LMAO, not the kind of thing you’d assume people are posting though so I get you

And I don’t mean saying “I’m really going through it rn because of xyz thing, I’m worried about losing my job, I’m struggling with carpal tunnel, I can’t pay this bill,” that’s pretty normal. Going into more gruesome detail is what bothers me bc I didn’t ask for it! I’m on here tryna work man! Damn!

Like I’m genuinely sorry if it sounds mean but I don’t want to know that. I care and it sucks to be sad or struggling, but I didn’t ask to know that. We aren’t friends, I shouldn’t know your weaknesses and I don’t think it’s safe or responsible to put them out there for anyone to take advantage of.

Trust, I sympathize with and understand wanting someone to respond to you when you’re struggling. I often do too. But I do that by talking to my friends about it, not by forcing my innermost insecurities and negative thoughts on people who followed me for commissions and aren’t expecting kmsposting

I remember your posts and they were mostly worries about your job, feeling frustrated, or updating on your recovery. That’s normal to post about. “I think I want to kill myself” is not, and personally I’ve been seeing it WAY too often and it’s starting to affect my health too, so I wish they’d chill

Seriously like Jesus
Sometimes I say something venty if I’m in a bad mood, sure, but normally I go whine at my friends in private unless I have nobody else to talk to? Why the fuck do you want me to know your trauma I’m a stranger on the Internet????

take it to a different account or be more tactful if they feel they absolutely have to post through it in public. Your situation is not at all what I’m speaking about here. The other week I read someone describing the sensation of getting an intravaginal ultrasound on main, I didn’t need that.

Like imagine if a stranger stopped you in the street to tell you about their last doctor’s appointment out of the blue. They might really want to share that but it’s still affronting and you probably don’t want to have such personal info about someone you don’t know. I’d just rather people either

information in the laps of your peers without their consent. Your (general you) trauma and your suicidal ideation should be for a sideblog/private convo with friends or loved ones, not out there for me to see and be negatively affected by because dozens of my mutuals are posting through it at once.

not about you wanting to feel less alone, there are ways to do that without potentially triggering your followers by just posting “Man I wanna kms” so thoughtlessly. I’ve been in the position of wanting help too, I’m not dumb, but it’s crossing a huge line to just drop really sensitive personal

Yeah you’re off base, I’m sorry. Reach out to friends and loved ones and post about heavy trauma on a side account where people know that’s what they’re getting. I don’t like it when complete strangers are telling me intimate details about their bodies or mental health, I didn’t ask for them. It’s

Digital illustration of a half man, half orchid praying-mantis hybrid. The creature has an upper torso of a human in a praying gesture, with a teal crown floating on his head, and a teal sword impaled through his chest and out his back. His mantis half is doing the same gesture, and its wings are splayed open. The character's skin is a pale pink with rosy pink hair and mantis legs, but with teal green embellishments; his upper torso has green tattoos, and his mantis body is adorned in ornate patterns, and his wings are a vibrant teal and turquoise color.

A colored bust of a character adoptable in a front view angle with a sad expression on her face. Dark purple tears flowing down her eyes. She has straight purple long hair with two large light grayish blue roses adorning her head, a forehead jewel, pearls and thorny necklace as an accessory. She's wearing an ombre blue top with a sweetheart neckline and sleeves with sparkles on them. Behind her is a pink background and color palette.

Yeah me too it’s really… Like hey can that be an inside thought or a Discord server thought or a therapy thought, not a public Bluesky thought or is that really too much to ask

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

I think it'd be cool if we had a larger discussion on the direction of conventions in NA- how expensive they are, how little artists make back, how much artists have to put in to even get accepted- And let's not forget how ridiculous the expectations are for presentation and merchandise with tables.

I say this with love and I know Bsky doesn’t have private accounts but, like, seriously it’s kind of getting overwhelming when 40 people I follow because I admire their work are posting “lol what if I just kms” or “let me describe my gynecology appointment in great detail” on main at once. Lock in

Some of you I need to chill out and not be regularly venting your suicidal ideation and medical trauma on your public-facing business art accounts man
We’re all going through it and artists are people not art-producing machines but like dude I don’t want to know that shit about you I just work here
