PSA: if you ever undergo a surgery requiring anesthesia and you smoke weed, please tell your anesthesia team because cannabis can interfere with the way anesthesia puts you to sleep and you can slip into coma or wake up in the middle of surgery. it's not fun

Hi! I'm lvcquer/kintsvgi. I draw OCs and Rumiko Takahashi fan art!

I'm excited to be here! #introduction #artistsonmastodon

Hi mastodon! With the collapse of twitter I've lost much of my reach for finding clients 😔

I'm a disabled artist & commissions are my primary source of income, and I just contacted the last people on my queue today—which means after I finish their commissions I won't have any further income

If you could share this post or pass my name along to anyone looking to commission people at the moment I'd appreciate it! Thank you ❤️

@oliphant has published the criteria for being a 'trusted source' for his blocklists:

https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/trusted-source-membership

Right now there are 10 sources (two of those are new today), and .art is one of them. The more sources there are, the fairer the blocklist algorithm works (for example the T0 'worst of the worst' list is instances blocked by 80% of the sources).

If you're a #FediAdmin, have a look and see if you'd like to be a source (and meet the criteria).

Hi! I’m doing ko-fi requests again. The theme this time is swimsuits. $30 or more. OCs allowed.

I have a $600 goal but I may continue doing them even after hitting it, depending.

Thinking about how commonplace it is for white trans women who came out of 4chan and its ilk to make their way into leftist circles and politics but then never really step away from the toxicity and cringe “culture” that’s fundamentally opposed to the politics they pretend to be embracing

That is to say, if you’re still happily throwing around slurs, recirculating racist propaganda, referring to people as “degenerates”, and calling things “based”, you’re not being ironic, you’re just clinging to the bigotry that you grew comfortable with and there’s some serious work for you to do.

a little sketch i did for a sketch page commission :)

Hey what's up?

Funny enough, this is my first #Introduction

Hello, I'm Null I do #PixelArt and #GameDev , sometimes I do #LowPoly 3D art, and some voxelart, I hope you enjoy my content as much as I enjoy this platform.

@aeva damn girl are you an Open Source project? Because everyone depends on you and you are dangerously unmaintained

Hi there! We are making progress on our game Roguecraft, a modern #roguelike for the #Amiga! We added more monsters, and are currently adding ranged combat. More about that later.

Here is Chick Un! 😊

yall need to get back into the habit of using cw and start operating under a culture of consent

deaths should have a cw
opression at the hands of the state should have a cw
covid and climate change should have a cw

triggering people into hypervigilance is not consent culture, nor is it effective or helpful

The 'successful'* accounts here are those that embrace our community best practices (good hashtag use, alt-text on media, CWing sensitive topics, etc.) and put in some effort to chat with people and make friends, reply to comments, and interact a lot.

The accounts that complain that 'mastodon is dead' or 'the fediverse is bad for artists' are those who just post their stuff but don't bother following anyone or getting to know their neighbours.

Good account examples in the next toot:

UPDATE: Sorry for the notification, but as this post is circulating again I wanted to make it clear that we are not using Open Collective for donations at this time. You can, however, donate through Ko-Fi here: https://ko-fi.com/blackqueerlife thank you thank you thank you!!

Hello Fediverse! I am coming before you all today to promote my new instance: blackqueer.life! You may have seen my post on my old account about it a few weeks back. I wanted to wait until I finished migrating my old account over here, got the instance up and running to where I wanted it, etc before promoting it fully.

We all know Fedi isn't always kind to Black users, doubly so for Black queers. My instance represents my attempt to continue the amazing work some folks are doing in the Fediverse to make these platforms more accessible and safer for all users, ESPECIALLY marginalized folks.

When I joined the fediverse, the first thing I was searching for almost from the beginning was an instance dedicated to or centering Black queer people explicitly. While there are a few amazing communities like that out there, many of them are either not federating, offering limited federation only, or are currently closed to new users.

This allows them to have much greater control over the content their users are exposed to, which I have tremendous respect and appreciation for. Hell, I've got alts in some of those places!

However. As a newcomer to Fedi, it was not overly easy for me to find these places and gain access, which I recognize is somewhat by design. Limited or no federation meant the only way to locate them was by word of mouth and extensive research.

This is where BlackQueerLife comes in. I want to build a place where Black queer, trans, and GNC folks can feel safe making a home while also being able to venture out into the rest of the fediverse. I want somewhere they can use as a landing pad. I want as many multiply marginalized Black folks off of corporate hellsites like Twitter and Bluesky as possible. We are not safe being corporate playthings.

Most importantly, I want every Black queer person who joins Fedi to know that they have somewhere they can go. I don't expect that all would necessarily want to join, but I want all Black queer fedizens to know that they are welcome to.

So if you see this, please boost this post to spread the word. If you already boosted the other posts that have gone out about this instance, no pressure. Thanks so much!

There's also an afro-mermaid store, and
https://www.afromermaid.co/ - theres an afro-mermaid summit too!

But when it comes to supporting the Black community... it means supporting the Black people at the "edges" of the culture. Black fairies, black elves, black witches etc.
And of course... black performers who do all these things! 💚

Hey, y'all.

Just another quick reminder - please please CW your anti-trans #politics posts. Please. You're just traumatizing #trans folks even more. It's difficult to exist as is without posts popping up on our timelines constantly reminding us how much bigots want us all to not exist.

We are strongly against the new ‘dangerous’ #Google DRM / Web-Environment-Integrity. Here’s our take: 👇

https://vivaldi.com/blog/googles-new-dangerous-web-environment-integrity-spec/

With Google’s #WebEnvironmentIntegrity, the threat to the open web is greater as it could be used to encourage #Microsoft and #Apple to cooperate with Google to restrict competition in the browser and the operating system space.
This should be prevented from moving forward.
