Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

It's just gonna be influencers, big retailers and bot farms trying to scam each other
I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭

Being an artist is either whipping out a masterpiece in a day or frantically looking up what a shoe looks like. There's no in between

I've used both and prefer a screen tablet. Going from traditional to digital, not being able to look down and see myself draw was difficult to get used to and I think the quality of my art suffered until I switched to a screen tablet
artists, out of curiousity: do you prefer a screen tablet, or a slablet?

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math.

$3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr
