“I have come to wonder whether these expressions of despair and surrender are really masking an irrational longing for a magical way out of this nightmare - a hope that some deus ex machina will swoop down and spare us what we are facing.” open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

My year of the snake animation. I’m planning on doing more since I was born in year of the snake. This was a fun quick test.

The new “Don’t Just Do Nothing: 20 Things You Can Do to Counter Fascism—Yes, You! Yes, Now!” zine makes a great gift for your liberal fam, friends, neighbors & coworkers! Read, print & distro freely! Full text & PDFs on @igd.bsky.social: itsgoingdown.org/dont-just-do...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

I want people in this country to blame Republicans for bad things that Republicans do and Democrats for bad things that Democrats do. The mess that Republicans do is on Republicans first and foremost. We may disagree with Dem responses to it (and I do) but they are not, in fact, MORE responsible.

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

Artists are a big part of what makes your social media experience worth it. Most of them post incredible work out there for free (in this economy ??) Remember to support your favorite creators so that they can keep making things you love. Seek out their patreon, shops, share their work.

My final project for my graphic design class!

This has to my favorite flyer design I’ve done for my friend.

Bottle label I’m working on for my graphic design class. It still needs a little work but I’m really happy with it

I love that he still did a heart pt. 6

Kendrick just pulled a Beyonce and dropped a whole album on us omg

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Black women do not fall into the imposter syndrome rabbit hole. You deserve to be in that space. Continue to take up space.

artists 🎨 stop apologizing for not posting, for taking breaks, for being slow, for drawing the same character, for posting only sketches, for gushing over OCs, for being a beginner, for raising your prices, for trying a new medium— start doing whatever you heckin want

I'm happy to add to the list. If you have concrete suggestions and examples beyond voting, happy to include those.

daily reminder to support your local library, even if that’s just by checking out ebooks! 📚

Ight so hear me out. I started YouTube 5 years ago. And I just restarted and have to restart my 4k hrs to monetization. Would it be too much to ask for y’all’s help 👉🏽👈🏽 youtu.be/AdXVQjXH1go?...

I realize I should probably post more pics of me

Some more of my art and a little bit about me. I’m currently an illustration major who also does printmaking and graphic design. My influences are comics, anime, history, architecture, music, lots of nerd things. I’d describe my art as surrealist pop art. I’m excited to post more of my stuff!

It's time to take solace and pride in what people disparigingly call a bubble. I don't need to talk to the 'other side', to the hate-filled, the reactionary, the proudly low-info. I don't have their books on my shelves, I don't invite them over. And I don't need to hear what they have to say online.

If you’re looking for doom posting about things, I’m not your guy. It’s bad, but I’ve spent my life dusting myself off and getting back to work. We don’t have the luxury to throw our hands in the air and let things collapse. I’m working to organize and fight against the horror show coming. Let’s go!

I’m Amber the artist behind Bambihydeartstudio.com I’m excited to post my art here and connect with y’all
