I don’t Always get to do a Halloween Art, but I had this image in my brain and it was so vivid I couldn’t Not. These are characters I have yet to properly show outside of friends and school but they’re part of a bigger project I will share more about soon :))

you are not better than someone on welfare. * * Digital illustration of a Black mother and her son at a food bank. There is a text on the back of her dress that reads “you are not ‘better’ than someone on welfare — just luckier.”

What ZIP Code you were born in is 100% luck…

the more i hear about ai the more I wanna go out pick up a rock grind up pigments and draw little horses on the walls of a cavern

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants Here are the initial results from our crowdsourced crowd-counting estimates

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

It doesn’t make more aggressive forms of protest and resistance less effective. It makes them more effective. It can raise public tolerance for protest, introduces new people to acts of resistance, and lay the groundwork for larger networks of solidarity.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies.

Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

When people whine about NSFW artists existing I'm just gonna refer them to this. Osamu Tezuka drew sooooo much furry porn you guys.

Milk does not go in eyes. Water is what you use to wash out chemical irritants. Just water. Ignore all other advice to the contrary unless you have a fucking medical degree of some sort in which case go off king/queen

When I was in university we only had to go through naming bones in a skeleton once, for an assignment in an anatomy class. The rest of my five years in that school we were always encouraged to draw from observation. Because that is far more important and will help you improve !!

You never actually have to tell an artist that you don't like their work. You can just keep it to yourself and it's fine, nothing bad will happen to you.

the protagonist isn't always the hero. they are just the person the book is about. sometimes authors write books about people who are bad and it does not mean that the author is bad

a man says " the line must be drawn here " ALT: a man says " the line must be drawn here "

I don't post NSFW content here (or anywhere), but after seeing this pattern repeated across the internet I've come to a conclusion. Jumping ship won't change policy. Maybe supplement or augment, but retreat will not win this day. Make your voice heard.

When should one decide to make a stand?

Feeling uncomfortable about something is not a morally superior stance. Disgust is not an inherently correct reaction to something, nor does it prove something's sinfulness. You can't consume your way into moral purity.

The thing is, I just really fucking hate bullies, and what's getting me down is that I thought other people did too.
