I briefly pondered about which bodily fluids can be used as paint substitutes in the event I can’t afford actual art supplies any more. It’s hard out hereeeee 😭
But art IS the answer to constant existential dread! How better to conquer your imposter syndrome than by not making a living off the thing that keeps your soul alive *stares wildly into the abyss*
I think the whole point of blusky is to be the void.
If you want attention and eyeballs go to twitter, if you want seclusion, then it's blusky.
The same people are on both. But, good luck!
I heavily disagree. Twitter is NOT the place for eyes on anymore. Their algorithm heavily sways toward right wing politics and sports. Everything else gets pushed down. As little as it may be, I get much more visibility here.
Im scared of the new 60-100% fees that may be implemented in the USA so it really has me thinking about bulk making new stuff in advanced so i can survive for the next 4 years 😵💫
Yeah. It's really overwhelming right now for a lot of people because there's a whole wave of potential scenarios that need to be figured out. Take your time and give yourself room to breathe. Soon people will start recovering from the shock and the community will be there to support as always
Yeah it's very worrying. I'm upgrading my PC just in case. I assume lobbyists will be working overtime to get exceptions carved out for their industries, but who knows what the results will be.
I wouldn't worry too much. If there's any solice, companies would literally die out (especially the large ones like Amazon that lives on exports) so. I wouldn't worry about the tariffs right now. These companies needs people to buy to survive. But I can understand your worry. I hope u feel better.
So part of the reasons for the prices we have now, and the amount of inflation we've had over the last 4 years, is because of the continuation of his last tariff increase.
And this would be adding another one on top of that
It's kinda crazy to think that a profession that already has a stereotype such as the "Starving Artist" could actually get significantly worse in those same ways.
No frl its like oh theres ai now everyone can do “art” and then boom the twitter page you worked hard to build over 7 years, yea thats donezo like cool 🙃

Your art can still have value. In times of crisis, do what you can to support those locally.
You have value. You can help make things right!
No more existential threats, please life.

Sometimes, I think about the court jester in Game Of Thrones and remember I was only brave enough to be an artisan.
It often feels like Im screaming into the void out here.

Like, your cave could be snuck into by some wild beast anytime.
Only difference now is its people in power with questionable agenda instead of beasts.
I’ve been thinking about how hard it would be to pivot to digital goods even though I’ve never in my life
Yet I know it can, must.
