Dreamers is a wonderful community space and it's run by the loveliest people. I first met them when I tabled at Graphic Novel Fest a couple years ago, and they've been nothing but kind and supportive ever since.

Photograph of two books on a table in soft, dramatic lighting. The book title is "Fabulous." The cover image portrays a satyr wearing colorful striped clothes with ribbons and patterns galore.

So uh I may have made a T-shirt design based off of the Gwi-Ma band tee from KPDH

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

All the swishing fabrics and fabulous props would make great short vids! But in a minimal effort pinch you could maybe even just repurpose the timed poses from the site πŸ€”

I think Bsky will continue to truck along (for now), but I wonder if Instagram or TikTok would be good channels for you

ink drawing- a bird with the head of a woman in profile. She is balanced on the hilt of a sword, one of many which make up a nest around her egg.
