Is bluesky lagging for anyone else or do I need to phone my internet provider

Happy ace day to all my acespec siblings, especially to those in furry who feel as if they are "broken" or "strange" for not engaging in sex. You are valid, and there are more of us than you are led to believe.
Let no one erase you, our love and joy is special

Over the past week, the topic of belly dancing came up a lot. I don't know why, but it did. Mind you, I don't belly dance.
I feel like belly dance georg

Its confirmed.
I have ADHD, Always had it for all 23 years alive. I have been struggling for so long and now I have a name for it.
Im a little overwhelmed and stunned.

Ever since I've become more active on TH, I've seen this one sentiment come up a lot- "Don't colourpick" "Don't take inspiration off my style" "Don't reference my art". I found this attitude extremely bizarre & funny, You don't own colours, & you don't own concepts like 'Black emo dog'. However, the more time I spent here I saw this visceral need to protect an identity or an aesthetic, calling other (usually younger) people "ripoffs" of [artist]. I've seen callout posts of people drawing lines & saying "they picked off my adoptable!" or "this person draws too much like [artist]" in these long-winded & emotional posts. I understand, Art is incredibly personal & Creating characters is a healthy way to process feelings & many of us flaky creative types put a little bit of ourselves in our characters (Regardless if its to be sold or kept). So I get it, when someone copies off you, be it through using the same colours as you or even lifting character concepts off you, it sucks & feels intrusive.HOWEVER, you must remember that all art is derivative. Somewhere in your mind you drew inspiration off other artists, the media you consume, & off life. It's valid to feel a little icked, but I feel as if some people here take it too far. This is a tough pill to swallow, but if you feel that your identity (as an artist or as yourself) can get "ripped off" & the only crime being committed is that another artist is using similar aesthetics or colour pallets, then it is Your Fault for tying yourself to something that shallow. I know what its like seeing characters out in the wild you SWEAR they took inspiration off you (re: Tina, my fat shaymin oc who got popular on twitter 2 years ago) & feeling that little Ick, but take *pride* in creating something that inspires others to do something similar. Making long-winded posts (ironic considering this is also a long-winded post lol) about the 14-year-old girl that picked off your pink emo dog & how evil she is for doing so does nothing IMH…
#faetalks : Art is derivative, Dummy.
I should be financially compensated for having a menstrual cycle and compacted harder for having a messed up one

Hey if you're a dude and your first reaction to seeing posts about women's day is something like "what about men's day"
Please shut the fuck up.

I'm gonna study for my physics exam

I started this drawing in school and during its process I met 7 new people over me drawing furry art in public. Furries aren't hated as people make you want to believe
#faetalks
My favourite thing that keeps happening to me and my wife is that when we start disagreeing in VC (and play it up cus were funny) WITHOUT FAIL who ever else is with us goes "mom and dad are fighting"
#faetalks
Solidified my Vtuber design~
Shes going to be a fat fuck, outgoing and messy harpy who wears sunglasses and blasts techno music everywhere she goes.
she also stinks and is also decent at video games.
Design will be vaguely based of falin from dungeon meshi

I'm not a big fan of America and I need more bad things to happen to the top % over there.
#faetalks
I wonder if my art has something that's Stopping it from reaching more people or if there's a glaring issue in my work or if I'm overthinking again...

A screenshot of a fur affinity journal which reads as follows: Fae Talks: Wrist injury, Bank shenanigans and school. Hope your holidays went well, mine did, but some things have cropped up which i need to state publicly. Ive injured my wrist and its pretty serious this time too. ive noticed that drawing on my ipad now leads to soreness, aching and even tingling sensations in my right hand. Im going to hold off on working on commissions, owed art and rendered personal stuff while this heals. Commissions and invoices are paused for now. this is because i need to undergo the process of registering for a VAT number in Malta to properly open a savings account. This shouldn't take long, but i also need to see on pricing and hours i work so that it doesn't interfere with government funding too. Bit of a hassle, and theres a chance i wont be able to do commissions for a while, but im at the mercy of the system. School work and tests are ramping up, and I need to put my nose down and study. I am pretty certain i want to go into applied biochemistry, which requires me to stay focused and get everything in order. Malta's A level in chemistry is notorious for being difficult (because our theory is intense, and none of it is actually translated in practice since no institute here is funded enough to actually apply those theories...) like, i have to do titrations by hand lmfao, and it stays that way until you work somewhere. All in all, I have some breathing room to figure things out. In the meantime, expect smaller scale doodles and maybe even fan art. Ive been playing around with drawing in a super stylized, almost toy like art style. once i draw something I'm okay with sharing, ill show. Thanks for reading, and happy new year!

I've injured my wrist again 😞 which means I can't draw anything beyond doodles. That means comms, gifts and owed art have to be paused until it's in a better state.
Sorry! 😞
#faetalks
So, are people actually abandoning Twitter now or are they throwing a fit but remaining on the Nazi filled, gen ai loving quasi 4chan website because big numbers make me feel better.
#faetalks
This time of year forces me to be exposed to the dumbest human on earth (my aunt) rattling off about how much she hates immigrants and interracial relationships while I'm in a t4t interracial relationship.
Anyways you can guess which one of us is alone and on her way to a nursing home #faetalks
Might tweak the fuck out in a moment.
#faetalks
Interact with each other. And that skill transfers so well. Even to furries and anime for example.
#faetalks
I stand by what i said
#faetalks
*Shaking and sweating profusely, and i grisps your shoulders tightly*
My art has to get funkier, sexier in a etherial kind of way and more cartoony but i fear the more esoteric i get the more i eliminate potential clients because i already feel like im too weird for furries
#faetalks
Sorry for the sudden push in adopts, it's the best way I can put "drawing for work" in my school schedule at the moment, plus it's fun!
I finally got some breathing room, I really want to make refs for my #7lc OCS while I'm making their comic. It would be a huge help lol
#faetalks
I wanna make my art cuter but also be able to express my Adult Opinions and Adult situations because I'm scared the internet loves reducing "kawaii" to "for kids"
#faetalks
Long, dull and persistent headache that isn't responding to paracetamol?? My favorite 🙃

getting porn on my feed and remembering ppl get off to it is both deeply funny and deeply sad knowing i just cannot relate to it.
