I got a nice commission from kaijubrains/kaijubrainsart on Tumblr of my character Melmarus, with the spoils of her treasure-hunting expedition. (Very quick turnaround too, would recommend!) https://bibeogaem.zone/media/-mGuF-87v9y8g8Y4DVE

What if we had a society where people were rewarded by how kind and thoughtful they were instead of how much value they could ruthlessly extract from others?
If we built such a society how much trouble would, let's just say hypothetically, I be in

Ppl should design characters how they wanna tbh, like. I don't particularly like the design in the pic, but like, ppl just making characters for the fun of it should do what they wanna tbh :-0
Art is not easy.
It takes a lot of work both physical and emotional to produce a good bit of art,
this is 1000% more true if you have mental health problems or a physical disability.
The labor of creating art for someone deserves money, artists cannot live off 'exposure'. if you take advantage of younger artists offering 'exposure' I will personally shove that exposure up your ass.
pay. artists for their work.
mastodon instances should have custom emoji

"Whether it’s talking with college students around the country through the #blackoncampus thread, live tweeting the entirety of #thewizlive, or even reviewing Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, Twitter is a sanctuary like no other. It may as well be called Mt. Zion Church of Digital Fellowship or St. Twitter Missionary."

Re conversations here about birdsite, Mastodon, and PoC presence.
Windows 10 S will only allow you to run apps from the Microsoft Store, which means you can't run iTunes or Chrome, unless you pay US$49 to upgrade it into an actual Windows.
I'm fairly sure RMS warned us around 20 years ago that this kind of stuff was coming, and people laughed and said 'that's paranoia, they'll never lock the desktop down that far'.

is there anyway to help folks in the US in light of current events?
I'm unable to give money but like. I feel I should do something if I can? :-O
I'm also using tumblr for robot content and there's adds and ew.
like I forget those are a /thing/ sometimes now or how many you get everywhere
:-p
like. folks. if a young person is like-
'I think I'm depressed and have anxiety'
then don't. tell them they just need to get fresh air, or its just stress due to exams. listen to them for fucks sake.
like even if you dont think they actually have those issues, having your mental health dismissed at a young age really makes it harder to get help when older in my experience :-I
The first picture is a bee, it is fairly cute, and has soft fuzy fur- fairly nice too look at so long as you like bees.
Then why the heck do some people feel the need to humanize a bee like the second picture? insects don't look cute like this?? you don't need to do this? why.

(this isn't about any specific person or event)
Publicly calling someone out has huge social costs for everyone involved, including for the community as a whole. This isn't to say that you should never do it, I've done it, but it's not as simple as "I'll call this person out for doing [bad thing] and the community will be better for it and it'll fix my problem with them."
This means that any community where people feel like they have to call out every bad interaction will implode.
Current work situation:
I was given an additional month on my PiP after I talked with a lawyer and came forward about sexual harassment I had been experiencing. While this is a huge relief I'm still in jeopardy of losing my job and I think it's about time I move forward anyway. I'd appreciate any out reach if anyone has any connections in tech for more trans friendly environment in the Portland / Seattle area! If you contact me here I can send you a resume ASAP!
Please boost
