If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Went to the ER as my Halloween treat 💀
I'm doing better now, but I'll likely be unable to work for a week or two as I recover

If you'd like to send some help my way, my kofi is here! I'm hoping treatment costs aren't too bad but just in case 💦
Shares are appreciated 🙏

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.
We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.
Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.
You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.
Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.
Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.
