My port stuff is glazed. I am hoping they can have a nightshade/glaze combo soon so I can redo them with both.

This was my very favorite Introvert Drawing Club session - thank you @bethspencer.bsky.social !!! I think forcing myself not to pick up a pencil for this + owls unlocked something for me.

Am wondering if I should cancel the email I scheduled asking if I should go to the 2025 one 😬 (Then again, I was masked when I went in 2023, and will likely mask again for 2025 coz I really do just catch anything easily at such events).

I love these types of post chains because they're a good excuse to populate my feed with art I can't remember if I posted here yet

If you see this, post a bird 🦜

Mine wasn’t cutting edge but at least I didn’t have to write a check 👀

Nightshade your image. At least if it gets eaten it’ll poison the dataset, so eventually someone types ‘bird’ and out pops a ghastly tentacle squid instead

I’m sure it’s fine. Even if people expect new work, they usually can’t tell. I know for sure from doing shares and posting the same image for years only to inevitably have someone say ‘wow I’ve never seen that pic’. That’s happened so many times!

Hi Maria, thanks for hosting.

I'm a cartoonist who loves fantasy, #KidLitArt, adventures and humour. I love making settings as interesting as the characters who live there.

😅 well... if your settings are tuned to hide adult content then at least those will be hidden or have a warning on them. IDK if it's pertaining to other things though!

I can still borrow books but only copies at my branch. And since its a big city network, many books are spread out all over the place, not at my branch. It used to be great using the website to place holds for all the latest books so I could easily research things 😥

Right??? Go hack the accounts of That Guy Who Owns Twitter, he alone has more money than all the libraries of the world put together!

Yeah, I am pretty sure after the TO hack, they went after other library systems. It seems so similar.

I’m pretty sure this was just financially motivated on the part of the hackers, but it is obviously also a way to hobble the use of a library. I hope other libraries will take steps to harden their systems so they’re less vulnerable to hackers working for whatever agenda.

I am kinda sad that I haven’t been able to put holds at my library for… practically the whole year. The system suffered a major hack and while the libraries themselves are still open, it brought down so many systems and has been depriving the whole community of needed resources since 😭
