Super hate that the response to Discord doing gross stuff is constantly to shrug it off and make excuses for how it's really not that bad or really doesn't effect most users doing most activities or something

What if we didn't base our communities around organizations that see […]

I guess this is as good a time as any to remind people that

if you only know how to contact friends through a single platform, you're liable to lose touch with them sooner or later.

Give them alternatives. ANY alternatives.

Any single place can just blow up overnight. And if something is […]

This post brought to you by someone linked me to a furry art post but it was on Forbidden Hellsite and I made the mistake of viewing the profile

Homophobic furs are absolutely wild

Homophobic maga furs are out there posting shit as if the whole subculture isn't continuously created and maintained by queers of all stripes

The level of failure at basic thought and decency boggles the mind.

Fuck off fascists

An older painting that I did in the summer of 2018. I remember it well; it was really hot and I couldn't stop painting. I was totally in the flow. I'm really happy with the result.

Every artist ever:

*Draws a bunch of hands for practice because hands are hard*

No artist anywhere that isn't indulging a kink: *Draws a bunch of feet because digits are hard*

Literally hand studies are everywhere but I guess feet are reserved for GNOME

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!

This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub […]

Bakuryu the Mole and the moles in Redwall are probably the only anthro moles I have ever seen anywhere

Furs need to discover moles tbh, them digging claws is good

This is actually probably the best color theory explanation I have seen yet and it's what I have been learning (from other sources). Applies just as well to colored pencils as it does to oil pastels or wax crayons

Would never have understood this from digital media tbh

Did some brief practice with shading using complimentary colors and highlights using warm analogs during work break for funsies

The photo without the pastel sticks in them has not been […]
