STOP saying ‘consensual sex work’—that’s like saying ‘consensual employment’ or ‘consensual babysitting.’ If it’s not consensual, it’s NOT sex work. It’s trafficking, it’s coercion, it’s rape. Nobody says ‘consensual waitressing’ or ‘consensual construction work’ because we understand the difference

OH MY GOD

I recommend reading the entire thread, it's really good

I don't have work for 5 whole days in a row and I'm so excited

"they did NOT have to make the music go so hard for such a simple game" uhhh yes they did. if anything, a simple game is the one who needs a fire music track the most

Same with sex work. There is misogyny and abuse in pretty much every industry, but those problems are not used as reasons to eliminate the entire industry the way it does with sex work.

More layoffs in the video game industry 😐 Seriously when will this end. Am tired of seeing the amazing people that create the games we love, not being able to live a life without stress and worry that they will be fired for even making successful games too.

Sad to see people saying indie games aren't as good as AAA. I really don't like that being compared. I love all games. But not every game has to look photorealistic to be good.

Artist PSA because a lot of you forgot or never knew: BlueSky does not throttle posts with links! 📣 POST THEM LINKS 📣 Link to your shop on the post so people don't have to find it. Don't say you have something for sale and not frickin link the dang thing.

I'm really excited for the 10th grade kids in a few decades who are going to have such an easy time doing their history reports because all this shit was out in the open for everyone to see

Please don't email [email protected] with random photos of your meals or cats or the top 5 things you wish you accomplished today or the Constitution of the United States or the Bill of Rights. Edolf says it's for serious things only.

The prints turned out so pretty… I’m so pleased whahhh

A "gamer", self included, is a consumer of media. That's all. It just happens to be media where you get to push buttons so you *feel* like you're accomplishing something, when really all you're accomplishing is consuming art someone else made. And that's great! But it doesn't make you interesting

when me and my sibs were little we would occasionally sneak into our parents' bedroom at like 4am with the dogs and start going AWOOOOOO and then the dogs would go AWOOOOOO and we'd all five of us be AWOOOOOOing. anyway hang in there new parents, this only lasted a couple of years

mccarthyism, or the red scare, was basically a sort of... deliberate pruning out of literally anyone who could be considered too leftist, it was brutal. People were fired and eschewed from their friends/family/community just to avoid the association with them. it's why the US is so far right imho

HEY it's been a while so hi hello! I'm Alex! I'm Canadian and I draw pictures for a living! Thanks for following me! I'm currently working on a short graphic novel about the absolutely bonkers funeral we held for my grandpa so I haven't been posting much art lately but this is what it looks like!

good but all these men need to be charged with kidnapping her

It's amazing how the more J.K. Rowling revealed about herself the more I went from "She's my idol!" to "Wow she picked her very worst opinion and made it her whole personality" to "Wow no, all those struggles I used to admire her for really just... made her heartless and terrible all the way down."

Jesse just doesn't miss

CUTE I LOVE IT

Don't be misled by false claims that pensions are up. They've not gone up more than indexation for the last 3 years. The lowest payments (Jobseeker, Youth Allowance) got a whole extra $20 a week, but that's it phonakins.com/2025/02/01/w...

i may get freaky but i do not support nor tolerate OSHA violations

Monthly reminder to Glaze and Nightshade your work if you're posting it online. I know it's a pain and you kinda just wanna upload and be done. But the world is cruel and too many freaks and thieves still want unfettered access to your drawing style. Take the time to Defend your shit.

It's working guys/gals let's keep up the momentum! fortune.com/2025/02/22/t...

Relax everyone, he’s just trolling us…

Yes the rumors are true I came out of my mother‘s womb as a full on developed and grown artist. Beaming with natural talent. My first words were: “mother hand me the brush“ And I went and painted the Sistine chapel.

There are more *diagnosed* autistic people because they changed the diagnostic criteria and started diagnosing people other than white boys with autism. Also: 40 years of "awareness" campaigns. That's it. Mystery solved.

A bunch of new followers tonight Can I interest you in my art!?

Me with he/they

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I once had someone on the old site tell me they „had to“ use genAI because their blorbo was so unpopular there was absolutely zero content for them and what are they supposed to do, make it all by themselves?! And I just said yes. I said that’s what you do if you truly love them.
