Yeleton Skeleton, Attorney At Law
@yelloskello.bsky.social
Not actually an attorney literally at all please don't give me your law problems (lawblems)

I do digital illustration! (Like, actually! Professionally!)
i also know there's blocklists of bots going around, so, the utter scrapeability of this site seems... extra obvious

but I figure it's worth remembering that there are web crawlers not hosted on the site itself, too, and this place is a smorgasbord for them

which in retrospect isn't surprising, considering it operates in a way that lets you set up your own bots and feeds. Of course it allows everything.

The second the site opened to the public I deleted what little art i had posted here. Now I feel doubly good about that decision
March 4, 2024 at 5:34 PM
good stuff! I also just found out how to check a given website's robots.txt, so, putting this out there for anybody else who sees this comment thread: looks like sheezy blocks most scraper bots.
March 4, 2024 at 5:11 PM
SO QUESTION: I know you've mentioned they don't allow ai art. Have they taken steps to prevent bots potentially scraping the site? I'd love to have a place where I can feel even kinda safe to post art again w/o contributing to The Machine

my new sexuality is that one episode of Spy X Family where yor gets drunk and almost kicks loid's ass, stopped only by breaking a heel and passing out on the spot

so when i see people post that i take it as a big loud proclamation that they are not someone you should try to invest time or energy in because they are promising you ahead of time that they won't do the same.

which. their right I guess? but I wonder if they realize how they're coming across
November 30, 2023 at 8:39 PM
i'd love to pretend those posts are actually coming from the perspective of folks who get pressured to always be available

but like, they're pretty specific about the context of 'not talking to your friends for very long amounts of time', so
November 30, 2023 at 8:37 PM
Friendship is a Fuckin Gift. Nobody owes it to each other, you receive it only by the grace of those around you, and god if you claim to care about it, at least make *some* effort to back that claim up, please
November 30, 2023 at 8:34 PM
It's about recognizing that they're people with their own thoughts and feelings. It's about not taking them for granted.
November 30, 2023 at 8:32 PM
And it's important for me to do that because this is beyond just 'don't worry, I still like you!!'

it's respecting their time and their effort. If they are willing nurture our relationship, it'd be callous of me to not do the same, whatever extent of that I can manage.
November 30, 2023 at 8:31 PM
dawg i feel you. this feels like a relic of that. out of touch with the complexities of reality.

the older i get, the more i'm like 'it pains me to say it but god the old fogies were right. we DO need to touch grass. Being terminally online DOES rot your brain'
November 30, 2023 at 8:27 PM
yeah exactly. it feels like a take that severely lacks perspective
November 30, 2023 at 8:23 PM
Because they deserve it! They're lovely wonderful people for putting up with my flakiness. They deserve for me to take the initiative when I can and tell them how good a fuckin friend they are.
November 30, 2023 at 8:20 PM
I say this as a binch who is frequently too exhausted to keep up with my friends. Who notoriously responds to shit days or weeks later.

I also make a point to recognize when i've been a Neglectful Friend and take the initiative to remind those people that they matter to me
November 30, 2023 at 8:18 PM
People: Why does everyone prioritize romance over everything else?? Friendships are just as important!

Also people: I don't miss my friends when they're not in my life and think if they miss me that's a Them Problem :)
November 30, 2023 at 8:16 PM
i'm also now realizing both of these posts explicitly use terms or graphics from fuckin stardew valley to talk about their real-life relationships, which is. certainly an interesting correlation with strange implications

"friendship degradation mechanics" jesus we're PEOPLE not code
November 30, 2023 at 8:10 PM
This Shit
November 30, 2023 at 8:03 PM
binches out there sighing wistfully over the notion of Found Family and then turning around and saying they think people who actively desire their loved ones to be in their lives are Weird
November 30, 2023 at 7:50 PM
so when I see people saying they can go years without talking to or seeing their friends and it's No Big Deal, mostly I just hear 'i have never actually had a real close connection with another person and have no idea what that's like'
November 30, 2023 at 7:47 PM
oh it's just that stupid fuckin post about 'if i don't talk to you for months or years it's because i don't experience ~friendship decay~, I can pick up with you like no time has passed! i get forgetful or busy, get over it babes!!'
November 30, 2023 at 7:44 PM
2: it is entirely dependent on your relationship with the individuals in question. I have friends who I haven't seen or talked to in years who I can easily pick up with again. I also have friends who I talk to regularly, and if they just disappeared, i'd be hurt.
November 30, 2023 at 7:43 PM
like, 1: that's not a sign of neurodivergency, to the folks claiming it's an ADHD thing. being able to pick up with someone you haven't talked to in years is a painfully normal thing. If we have FB minion memes and sitcoms mention it, it's VERY normal
