Someday i'd like to get a proper recording setup for my desk so i could make drawing videos or even stream sometimes. I've learned so much from watching other artists vids so id love to put more out there
Random little art tip i picked up. I normally draw poses torso first and would have a lot of issue placing the neck and head right. Basically if you draw a line right from the center of the head to the center of the torso, the neck will be the same size both sides of that line. It helps a lot

Basically everyone who sews was screaming from the rooftops that there was no way Shein wasn't produced under these conditions, but nobody wanted to listen because they felt like they deserved new clothes every week.
The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

One of the greatest things anyone has ever said to me was to explain that when you randomly decide to pick up a rock it’s because the rock has decided it wants to travel. It gives me joy to ponder.

hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Not all white autistic people are racist toward Black autistic people. But some are and that “some” is enough to cause real damage 🗣️
Talking about it isn’t division 👍🏽
Ignoring it is 👌🏽

Racism doesn’t disappear inside autistic spaces and Black autistic people have been saying this for a long time. Autism doesn’t cancel out the biases we absorb from the world, and it doesn’t excuse harm, many autistic spaces aren’t safe spaces for Black #autistic people 👌🏽

its shorthand for "even if you're racialised, if you don't know what the west is like, even if you've never seen a white person, if you've never been in the west, if you're not cisgender, if you're a lesbian, your protagonist should be a rich cisgender white male settler colonialist"
Sure, I'll write my story about trans lesbians navigating denial and realization in a hostile society 'non-political'. It's going to require the entire world to stop politicizing our existence first, though.
So apparently: "authors shouldn't be political," is doing the rounds again.
So let's go over this again.
• trans rights are human rights
• LGBTQ+ rights are human rights
• gay people deserve to marry and adopt
• Women's rights are humsn rights.
• Believe women
• black lives matter
