Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

Mah beautiful trunkies, say hello to @pineconeparty
She was one of the handful of people to step up and pull my ass out of the ditch when everything fell apart this fall.
She's needing a lil bit of help herself right now.

Pls help her out with a donation or boost if ya can.

Also, give her a follow while yer at it, let's draw her deeper into the fedi community. She is very excellent human, full of absurd joy and insight.

I sketched a quick pixie for fun and maybe as practice making lil guys for @elfi 's game. I wanted them to be more mischievous than my last attempt, so you can't really tell if you're supposed to trust them >:3

I hate to have to do this right before Christmas, but we are in financial trouble here. Unexpected bills (a huge energy bill) plus a broken down car (which I need to get about not being able to walk and not getting any disability benefit) means I am in big trouble no money for food and Christmas right around the corner.

Sales of paintings are non-existent and I am in big trouble. If you can help please consider donating at https://ko-fi.com/chloegilbertartist THANK YOU

Recommended hardware documentation quality measurement protocol

Obtain a catgirl. If you do not have a catgirl on retainer, you should be able to find one by visitting a nearby hackerspace and going “pspspsps”
Place documentation in front of the catgirl.
Wait 20 minutes.
Measure the sideways tilt angle at the catgirl’s head. If the catgirl is sitting in a weird position, use the vertical axis as determined by the relevant device screen for documentation viewing.

If at any point the tilt angle exceeds the safe limit as defined in appendix 3b, immediately vacate the area, then contact the Biting Safety Officer assigned to the region.

Does anyone know any platform other than Vgen that's a great place to get get commissions? I have a Vgen but I don't really get any clients there.

I need about $500 this month, $300 of that is going to a bill I owe. The rest is just to cover other bills like phone, etc.

I've heard of Fiver, so I might try that. I might have to lower my prices to $50 for this bc I don't think I'll get anything otherwise.

me too buddy

#Seattle is looking for #Comics artists in #Oregon and #WashingtonState to do stories about transit! $54,000 each!!!

I messed with this a bit more before I was satisfied with it.
And it's still not fully fleshed, just a v basic concept art (for @elfi )
Polly is my backdrop

In other news, here's some art I started to inspire @elfi
I'm hoping we can inspire each-other back and forth maybe. Forever and ever. Infinite inspiration hack.

🐟🧽 University of #Bonn researchers developed a washing machine filter inspired by sardine and anchovy gill systems that removes over 99% of #microplastics from laundry wastewater. The biomimetic design uses funnel-shaped filtration with self-cleaning mechanisms copied from #fish feeding systems.

Some generous folk have opted to gift copies of the Space Dragons to folk who want them!

If you'd like a copy of either or both books in ebook and audiobook, please DM me! No need to be shy or justify the request. There are plenty!

You'll receive them when Kickstarter backers get their rewards (so 2026).

📚 Many, many available! 📚

Can we help a Black trans person with obtaining permanent residency elsewhere so that they never have to return to the United States?

Originally, they printed an unofficial copy of a form, but immigration only accepts the official copy. This copy costs about 20 CAD. Since money is tight for them until the 15th, they do not want to choose between rationing food and starting this process as soon as possible.

No hard deadline, but the sooner the better!
