Commission examples both recent and non. First up a piece for @chrisgrey.bsky.social on here. Grey has been a long time patron and always has fantastic ideas. They've let me play with some fun stylized tarot designs for a few years now.

Poor baby. For anyone who sees this and has the means, check out their wishlist on Amazon or in their Linktree. This rescue does so much for so many, and I was so sad to see they haven't had many purchases on that list in a while. linktr.ee/crits4cats
I have had this one for over twenty years now. I don't get to take it out much these days, but from straight out of second year of college (2000) I used it daily for my fine arts work. I don't know how waterproof it is, but it went through several storms fine. www.dickblick.com/products/pra...
yeah all right (jacob does not want to be there, he wants to get up and stab you)
I'd hoped we'd have more takers but we've only had 3 so far. Still plenty of opportunities to get a commission situation going. Though I'll be looking at options to streamline the process.

"Share one of your favorite moments from a comic book film or TV show" So often Usagi was told in the '90s anime she shouldn't cry, even in bad situations, and to be strong. PGSM instead allowed Usagi to be vulnerable. Mamoru even encourages her to mourn a friend's loss. Crying =/= weakness.

Yes, and also, this is where I remind folks that most rules for "formal" English were invented in the Victorian Era by hucksters trying to make a pound off people feeling anxious about their position in society

Oof it's rough, rooting for you! I really am!
We tried so hard to explain that the anti-trans panic wasn't just going to hurt trans people. Whether through recklessness or intent it resulted in extremely weird, broad, harmful laws. I'm not mad, but I'm telling you, we really tried.
Tonight, Clay Higgins moved to force a vote to censure me and remove me from Homeland Committee because I was doing my job. Here’s my statement.
lol people who hate Black women showing they ass right now. "We should be talking about Black men too" okay but is talking about Black women right now precluding you from talking about Black men. Did anyone say ignore Black men? Math was NEVER mathing. Try again. #blacksky
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

Something creative people have always known: If society doesn't deem you productive, doesn't see you doing a necessary job that keeps society functioning, then you are just a waste of resources and space so they will let you starve to death. That's why you must say FUCK NO to AI replacing your job.
Nurses weirdly went deep into the fuckin weeds with this kind of BS.

Regarding yesterday’s Labor Day post - I keep forgetting that at my age, a black & white artsy photo, holding a flower, with a Bible verse could give some of you a scare. So sorry 🙏🏻❤️ As Mark Twain once said, “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” #dougjones #stillalive

When there are public attacks on Black women that are based on their identities as Black women — misogynoir — every Black woman witnessing it is a victim That includes the Black woman you’re discussing it with and/or in front of And this has health implications for every single one ICY forgot

Agreed. It’s always about racism and ppl trying to obfuscate that are doing the racism too.
Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Around the year 1700 it was said another star fell to earth. Some Cherokees who went to look for it found a

Analytical AI is doing amazing things in science and medicine. Generative LLMs are theft. Do not conflate the two.
Our shelter relies on the generosity of community to provide food and essential needs to the cats in our care. We're working hard to raise funds for cat food and kibble, but it's a struggle. Your support would mean a lot to the shelter cats. Support; donorbox.org/feed-a-shelt... Thank you!♥️🐈 #cats

Again, all of the anti-DEI efforts are nothing more than programs to bring in less educated, less experienced, less talented white people. Lower standards. This sister was forced out and is an attorney and certifies internal auditor. We are all in greater harms way www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Since we're on the topic, on the old site, Gail once asked people to post our own version of a Gail Simone tweet. My entry got some numbers: "Did Stephen King ever adapt any of his movies? It feels like they'd make pretty good novels."

My cat Hazard is still looking for my cat Midnight. I had to put Midnight down on Tuesday. I feel so bad I can't explain to this boy that no Midnight isn't lost he's gone.
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.

He didn't say not to eat kosher. Pretty sure that was Paul's dumb ass. I should probably word this so I don't seem like some immortal being.

I'm so lucky! These pins are finished just in time for EF! I hope they get shipped to me asap *v*
To be fair they probably bought some used lots at thrift stores and eBay. But I really don't want to be fair.
Happy Spooky Season!! 🎃
✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️ Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft? Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago. In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.
i can't hug, but I hope the skies are clear, and the breeze is cool for the rest of your week.

You can't argue with people who refuse to see the facts for what they are. They will constantly try to make the numbers out to be wrong or scream something about mainstream media.
“I heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people,” the Rev. James Martin, S.J., told the AP. “It was wonderful. It was very consoling and very encouraging and, frankly, a lot of fun.” https://to.pbs.org/46hrN7l

Got a late night email for help from a mom whose adult daughter had taken a kitten from someone giving away free kittens, then a few months later, inexplicably kicked the cat out with no food or water. Charlos (named by the 3 year old girl who was his best friend) is SO relieved to be safe inside.

Sorry, but the scariest places in America aren’t Black neighborhoods, it’s towns like Vidor, where historically, Blacks (and Asians, Jews & Italians) could be lynched w/o consequences. There’s literally no equivalent the other way. Thank God these young men weren’t harmed. youtu.be/Px_P0bRkbfU?...

Today in the @nytimes.com, one of the most important stories of our time. Between the months of February and July, 319,000 Black women exited the workforce. In the same period, White men saw the largest increase in jobs- 365,000. This is #TheDoubleTax. Pre-order: annagifty.com. #blacksky

Many many years from now, schools are going to teach about the effects of American Fascism on the masses and some kids in class will be giggling at images of Watto in a thong as a very serious example of mass hysteria.
ultimately i think the central thesis of trumpism might be true nihilism, just the absolute disdain for the idea that anything matters at all beyond winning an argument in the eyes of your supporters. there is no such thing as competence. there is only loyalty and occasionally bad press. that’s it
