"Indifference, Gundhalinu, is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it. It lets neglect and decay and monstrous injustice go unchecked. It doesn't act, it allows. And that's what gives it so much power." -- Joan D. Vinge, The Snow Queen, (1980)
Today is the first day of spring; what better way to welcome the plants back than to be a voice for the trees at risk!
If you haven't yet responded but if you care about old growth forests, not letting the horrors win, and/or defeating anything the old, fried tangerine in power is trying to do. You only have until March 23rd to respond to this scoping. It's not too late to help if you do something Right Now.
A fiery horse runs towards the foreground, a few ferns dot the landscape, in the distance a giant space squid reaches forth towards the horse with one tentacle as he continues his destruction of New York, as prophesied by Hank Green in the Project for Awesome fundraiser livestream.

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.
(Nearly) Every Wednesday, JamesBBarrow hosts an art along in his Discord. Anyone who wants is invited to create art for his Weekly Art Along all using a single prompt. This week the theme is "The Source of Their World"
#art #Weeklyartalong #noAI #ClipStudio #digitalpainting #timelapse #flashwarning
Sketch with the prompt of "your reflection" of an overweight female presenting person wearing nothing but underwear and a bra.
Text overlay of an immense eyeball/orbital socket formed of a planet, and surrounded by stars and cloud cover. On the outer edge of the being there looks to be motes of light under the being's skin. The prompt was "The source of their world" and text on the image in the upper left corner reads "You think it EASY?", followed by text in the bottom right that reads "You think I wanted THIS?" The bottom text has been duplicated over itself and the underlayer is at a much lower opacity to make it harder to read and as if it carries an echo. The image is supposed to evoke the sense of a gigantic creature angered by the things it has created when they sought to question it or perverted its design for their own pleasure or gain.
Art from January 7th and 8th. One piece is slightly NSFW but is just a figure drawing that isn't fully clothed.

A friendly jack-o-lantern waves at the viewer, the body is made of wood and it's wearing a slouchy brown sweater, a yellow undershirt, and a red scarf. The background is two bare trees and fall colored leaves cover the ground.

Man, are the bots out today? I've gotten two messages today from someone "wanting to tell me something if I have a moment"
If you wanna chat, that's fine I don't care, but open with what you want so I don't think you have been hacked or are trying to sell me something.
In regards to the upcoming changes to TOS. You have moderation and tags and the ability to hide NSFW already in place, work to make those things better. More effective. If you further cave to purity rules and create guidelines that can be moved further and further back into the realm where freedom of expression is no longer allowed then that only gives the ones in power further ability to point at you and say, “See? They saw the need to do this, so we are correct in going further and removing that freedom, we will make a law.” Thus will freedoms slowly wither away even more that what is already happening. Don't change things that are not already set in stone. You can be a bulwark against the dying of the freedoms that you created this platform to combat. Are you still committed to being a company that doesn't follow a horrible ideology in the name of “Freedom” and “protection”, or will you slowly become that which you hate?
You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

I had the strange urge to add text to this that would just say
"Fight me!"
Digital art of a yellow cockatiel with orange red cheeks and a bright background made of a splash of colors-teal, pink, yellow, and orange in front of a flat purple base. No ai was used to make this art.
Lineart for the previous image, a bright yellow cockatiel with flat colors in front of the same background of a splash of teal, pink, yellow, orange, and purple. There is also a reference picture for the original cockatiel retrieved from a search engine.
I need to stop working on this, I keep looking at it and seeing "just one more thing I need to fix" but I... must... stop...
(I tried to find the owner of the original source image, to credit them, if I do find the source I will post the info in a reply)

Getting an undue amount of pleasure from making day worse for the scammer I just got off the phone with. He ended the call with "Frigid Bitch" and hung up on me, I am here laughing to myself.
How's your day going?
