With NFTs collapsing, can we do away with the weird idea that artists can live on hype and actually offer them money instead of unpaid "opportunities"?

If it were as easy to make people believe our work has value like it was for people to buy a damn cartoon ape, we'd be rich.

This truly fucking glorious website.

- Take a screenshot of a table, save it
- upload the image
- download a CSV of that table

extracttable.com
A thing we could leave behind at the other site is "what's something that everyones that you hate, and your unpopular opinion that will make everyone mad at you?"

Instead I propose: "What's something that you love that most people probably haven't heard of? Recommend a hidden gem to us!"

it's OK to simply let people enjoy things, I promise snarking on someone's PSL will do nothing but make them avoid you
"Seasonal" season is coming. Favorite holidays, flavors, foods, songs, coming up for a lot of folks. You'll see people posting things they like that bring them joy. Some of those things, you may not like.

If you don't want a "Well, fuck off then," in reply, don't be a snide ass. 💖

THIS THREAD. Absolutely all of it.

How many marginalized authors are still in the writing trenches as it were? The glass ceiling is there. It truly is.

Dear dudes:

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Sit with that for a moment before you open your faces.
Did you read my qrp of @julietemckenna.bsky.social ? Good. Because I ain’t done.

Thread.

A lot of people make a lot of loud angry noises about women and POC and queer and disabled writers “taking over.” There are even people who swear that white men can’t break into the business. And it’s—

This is the full piece of thirty animals from which the earwig drawing comes. Each drawing is 1" square. A closer look is encouraged. ;}

Thank you so much for the art share, Davis! It’s so great to see everyone’s work in the thread 🥰

I enjoy painting stylized portrait studies! I work as a concept artist for Riot Games and really enjoy finding new ways to approach painting

Although soil invertebrates have my heart, I simply can't resist photographing lichens too. The next time you walk past a lichen-covered tree, stop and take a moment to appreciate how beautiful these fungal-algal composite organisms can be! 🧪

I recently learned that the kākāpō, one of Aotearoa’s cutest parrots, can live for up to 100 years. One individual, Nora, took a break of 40 years between clutches of chicks.

Great interview with conservationist Deidre Vercoe on @scifri.bsky.social.

The critically endangered kākāpō haven’t lived on the mainland for nearly 40 years—until now.
