New Valentine’s Day cards will be available at SNAIL MAIL! Snail Mail is a stationery market at Anodyne (224 W Bruce, MKE) this Saturday, Feb 7th, 10am-2pm! I’ll be there selling my stationery, and I’m bringing back my kitty pins too! Come say hi!

I WANT to draw more, actually, but I have to force myself to stop. I should probably lie down or something but ehhh what a bother...

Dabbing hydroxen peroxide was always the way I dealt with these. I hope it goes away!! They are so awful when they halten 😭

Oh god, my hips hurt so much from all the sitting and drawing I've done these past two days...

Sometimes I wonder if a saddle chair would help, but I also like chairs with a high back in case I have neck and shoulder problems.

I wish I could design my own chair...

Hotch stickers!! They are lined!! And I finally have found a li eart brush I love... But to no one's surprise, it's a Frenden brush.

and we're done! I need to do some studying to figure out some of these materials, but I'm happy with this! it's a solid base to learn more from

We're live!! And we're arting!!

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

"On the highest steeps of Space he will have his dwelling-place,
In those far, terrific regions where the cold comes down like Death
Gleams the red glint of his pinions, smokes the vapor of his breath."

-Stephen St. Vincent Benet

This happened a whole year ago towards the start of the campaign and I finally drew this little scene!! It's Bronte and Solas!!

My sleep schedule is thoroughly effed up at the moment and messed up when I could stream due to no sleep the night before, but at least I stayed up tonight to draw this:

I'll take the toasted skin off it means I can experience this more often UuU

Can you believe these were taken on 3 separate days...?

Ohhh, I finally understand the novelty of using a hot water bottle in your bed while you sleep. This is so NICE!! WHY ISN'T THIS A MORE COMMON THING IN AMERICA?!

Thank you!! I'm glad you think so!

I've got Steven Universe fever now that I've been rewatching it with my fiance~ THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH IT!! AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SHARE IT WITH THEM AAAAAAAAA

Between working on the big stuff, I've found time to do a lil bit of doodling~

He never misses. He never friggin misses.

Nausea? Maybe get a CO2 detector as well. Hopefully it's nothing like that, but that's super worrisome!

I hope you can get some property ready, fam!! If you get a lot of work but still can't stay awake, I'd be worried about a sleeping disorder (speaking from personal experience!)

Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

I'm enraged and I'm scared. How bad are we going to let this get? This is still only just the start, ya'll. I don't want to see how bad this gets. This needs to stop. We need to make it stop.

Stand up, fight back.

I love Hotch and his obsession with sticks~

Learning the difference between discomfort and harm is how you can exist in any social space.

If the mere *idea* of something makes you spiral or lash out, you need to take a step back.

This isn't even just "A vs B"; being so unable to sit with your own discomfort causes in-fighting (+)
