Would anyone be interested in quiver coms? I need to raise some capital for shoebox and Vegas and I've been looking for an excuse to do some physical painting
$350 for something comparable in detail to my Eldraine quiver and $300 for a bolt; I'm kinda obsessed with patterned stuff lately

At 40, I'm still learning new things about myself, and "Make Room for Love" by Darcy Liao came at the perfect time for me.
I normally have a hard time identifying with the protags in romance novels, but not this one.
Queer, cozy, sapphic, and leftist. Give it a read! darcyliao.com/make-room-fo...

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.
Stay safe!

I'll admit that color and light aren't my forte, but when MtG hires an AI specialist to make them a card, AND the light sources on the art don't seem to line up: sus.
Toph is backlit from the right.
Her belt is lit from the foreground left.
Her left arm has a shine from the front right.

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.

Nerd boys, I fully endorse this. Cuddle trans girls consensually and we’ll theory-craft commander decks with you.
Nerd boys!!!! Find a nice trans gal to settle down with. We like all the same bullshit you do but are soft and (with consent) like to be hugged by someone who is strong.
