would anyone be down for a beanie baby type of plush commission? i was thinking $60...? it's a very very simple pattern and a finished plush would have hand-embroidered nose and mouth (and whiskers??) i haven't done commissions in ages but i think i'm down for a few!!! #myart

For those who don’t know, amber is my childhood stuffed animal (silver being my sister’s). So when i see one in the wild I feel obligated to take her home. This one is basically brand new… compared to the og on the right 🥺😭

Another amber for the silver and amber shelf 🥰 Found her in a giant bin of beanie babies at a thrift event 2day ahhh i love her so much

Two beautiful species of flowers that just bloomed in our yards whaaaaat I think the most fun part about buying a home in the late fall is getting a fun surprise every few weeks around the house Sweet Autumn Clematis and Ironweed

For a small little thing, hummingbirds can be loud as hell. Unfortunately this is my “bully” hummingbird tho— even with 3 feeders in my yard i can’t get him to share maybe it’ll get easier when our deck is built and i can have feeders there #birding

No website will beat Furaffinity for the fact that it has sections built into the bio for favourite food/TV shows/music etc. I love finding someone who draws hardcore fetish art and also seeing that their favourite movie is "Surfs Up"

Trying to spend the day reorganizing my kitchen while jarett is outside working on the deck. Not sure which is harder 🤨
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
We’ve definitely had them for at least 3 years now, but this year we had to update it to make it a lot more clear. It’s less people trying to find loopholes and more of people just simply not reading 💔
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
Im just glad to get even the smallest amount of validation on this post so i dont feel completely out of line when making these requests
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social)
I’ve only gotten a few responses but so far most everyone is on the same page. Maybe going forward i’ll just try and notify an artist in advance like “hey you can vend with us but we will require you to censor this merch” I just hate when it’s like… at the con and we have to have this convo 😭

Your opinion still matters!! I was just heavily curious about a parents pov, as well.
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
Pretty good way of putting it imo, especially comparing it to another art form. I guess you’re right about diff words having diff severity levels.
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
And please don’t take this post as me supporting censorship or attempting to “hide away” any of our artists who have any capacity of nsfw work— i do not wish to make anybody feel driven out. And pls lmk ur thoughts!!!
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
I especially want to hear about this potentially from parents, of any age but especially those who are able to read but not old enough to understand.
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
We’ve let it slide in the past, asking to censor more intense/taboo words like “f*ggot” or “tr*nny”, but it’s like… when does it become “too nsfw?” Where is the line? Images are one thing, but text? It’s hard to say.
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social) reply parent
As a leader of a convention in a red state, and as a strong lover of AD spaces, i want to try and uplift nsfw artwork in the right spaces while also keeping the DD/AA sfw/all ages. But i get conflicted about this topic, especially with how strict our con is on the matter.
leafe (@leafesprout.bsky.social)
Genuine question to (mostly furry) convention attendees: is seeing sexual words like “horny,” “cum,” “sexy,” on merch… TOO nsfw for an all-ages dealers den? Think of it in the context of people/children of all ages are present, possibly even press. 🧵

just fyi we've already hit over 100 applications, so it's more likely that these will close sooner than expected once again! .... we're also taking staff applications right now btw, if you want to help the selection committee :,) LOL

the thing about working with sped kids is it's a lot of fun but exhausting. that being said though i don't think i can see myself working in a typical classroom ever again.

i'm being dramatic it won't be too bad tomorrow. i've got 6 students total in my M/W/F class and i've been with 5 of them this past school year already. the T/TH group will be... exhausting! but i'm down for it.

i get it though, the topic is really polarized on here and it can be scary to put your livelihood at risk. on a personal note however, i would rather someone be vocal about this topic than spreading callouts and whatnot!!
