btw! I was made aware that many people don't know that we're boycotting Eurovision this year, so.
we are boycotting Eurovision, as per BDS guidelines.
don't watch the stream, don't engage with the videos, don't post it about it on social media using hashtags that are going to trend.

THE ONLINE ARTIST HANDBOOK
So I think a lot of us are struggling with being an online artist these days, with the navigation of various socials being increasingly obscure and even perilous at times
It’s why I had an idea: The Online Artist Handbook
What is the Online Artist Handbook ?
It’s a collaborative google doc where all artists all over various social media websites can contribute their knowledge of said socials to help everyone thrive ! This includes becoming more familiar with various customs and ways to post as a part of building your online presence, and things to watch out for.
The document is completely free and open-source: everyone can use it, edit it, cite it, download it, whatever !
How does it work ?
There are two documents: one document is used for submitting notes about various social media platforms, and a second one is a read-only document where all the information is properly written out to ensure clarity and ease of reading.
I’d like to contribute !
That’s so awesome ! Thank you so much ! You can contribute to the document yourself here: [Google doc link]. The clean version of the document can be found here: [Google doc second link]
Remember to add yourself to the contributors section to be credited for your help !
Let’s go Tumblr ! Let’s create a community artist resource !

My head has been on a Alice: Madness Returns kick lately, and then my mind also went "what if we illustrated a blood circle"

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

Heart-eaters is officially for sale on my store, with both physical and digital copies available! If you've seen some of my work floating around over last year and ever wanted a copy of the full anthology for yourself, not only is it now an option, but the money is going to a great cause.
100% of all profits from my store (for the indefinite future) will be donated to support aid on the ground in Gaza. Money will be split between Medical Aid for Palestinians, the PCRF and CareforGaza in a 40/40/20 split. While I will still take some portion of revenue, it'll only be to cover costs of production and shipping - otherwise, every cent will be going to support Palestine.
I'm incredibly honoured and humbled to say that after just the first day's worth of sales, I'll be able to donate over $3,000 to these efforts. Hopefully, I'll be able to increase this number in days to come. Thank you for your support!

hello party people, the sizing survey is back! for real this time!!
as many of y’all know, we are a small business dedicated to creating ethically made, size inclusive clothing! and as we continue to branch out into more kinds of apparel, particularly garments that are more fitted, we need your help to ensure that our garments fit the best they possibly can.
unfortunately, publicly accessible sizing data is horrifically fatphobic and just down right inaccurate. and if our measurements are inaccurate, then the clothing we make won’t fit right. and that’s where you can help!
we want measurements from people of all sizes
all data is completely anonymous and will not be shared
we will only use this data in the pursuit of making the best-fitting garments we possibly can
take the poll here!

Writing representation: Help wanted!
OH actually that recent reblog reminds me: I'm presently working on a story where one of the main protags loses an arm early in the story, and I was wondering if I have any followers with a missing limb who might be willing to read it when I have enough written for a Beta reading? also if anyone has any advice on that sort of representation hmu, as I don't want to fuck it up!!! their circumstances are fairly unique, but regardless of that the more I know the better I'll be able to write them well, please reply to my inbox or in the comments here so I can get in touch with you (anon won't help lmao)
