I know it might seem simple, but it really matters to tell people they matter. We assume they know, but often they don’t—and hearing it can make a big difference.

A hand-drawn paper bookmark with colourful sour candies drawn on. A bag of said sour candies is to the top right of the bookmark, and several multi-coloured swirl crayons to the top left. The background is a grid cutting mat.

Found a piece of off-cut paper lying about so decided to turn it into the bookmark it was meant to be.

And because why the hell not, made it sour candy themed off this treat bag I got last week, using these really fun swirly crayons! 🖍️

Just trying to remind myself of the fun that art can be. 💖

If it's not too much trouble, yes please!

But hey, now I can access shit again without having to give all my ID and firstborn to "verify" my age!

Spent (wasted?) over an hour trying to get VPN set up on my phone with my current provider but not using their app and wow.

Finally got it to work on legacy mode because fuck security in OVPN, right? 🙄

QUASO 🥐

simple drawing of me sitting at my work table with my face down on the drawing tablet saying „i need to get better at drawing“ while there’s a big fire in the background

??????? Are those people mad? IMO this makes the "resell value" 🙄 infinitely higher because HOLY SHIT I WANT THAT HOUSE

At least bots can't slide into my DMs I guess? 🙄

BlueSky notice for "Age Assurance". "The laws in your location require you to verify you're an adult before accessing certain features on BlueSky, like adult content and direct messaging."

Oh so I guess I'll be using a VPN even more now.

Fuck this law that claims to protect kids and only harms marginalised groups.

being an artist is hilarious because it's like "yeah i can capture and depict the intricacies of the human form" and then 10 minutes later im googling some shit like "bed" because i forgot what basic things look like

Just a bit of splatter on the edge but managed to make it work for me 🥲 Happy little accidents right??

Just when I thought I was getting used to POSCAs, one EXPLODES EVERYWHERE FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-

What does it say about me if I actually *wish* I could draw like I used to 😖

Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’”

post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.”

The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

I found a non-exhausted list of Indigenous radio stations that you can donate to in order to keep them afloat after the defunding
If anyone has a better list, please let me know, and I will happily repost it (I couldn't find anything on here)
