How Now? A Rat?

This is very clever.

I like this.

One of the issues we are facing now, given that venture capital is no longer fire hosing cash into social media networks (or at least not in the way it used to 10-15 years ago) is sites need to make money.

Having a tag that is affordable to say "I have services, they are available" helps fix that.

Independent creators have been able to create relatively gargantuan-sized audiences for very, very, very little money in comparison to pre-social media methods. Which is a good thing.

As we start hitting the brick wall of "networks need money" + "independent creators having access to cheap marketing is a good thing," clever solutions need to exist.

This is one such and it's great.

Sorting and filtering capabilities are undoubtedly not far behind and/or on some whiteboard somewhere.

This is immensely pleasing.

Hey, if this is real and any of my mutuals wants to get a badge for advertising purposes, hit me up. I'll buy your badge for you.

Oh, this is FUN.

Happy 2023 everyone!! While I don’t have as much art as I would’ve wanted to show for this year, the stuff I do have I’m pretty proud of. Really glad I took that middle of the year break. Remember to be kind to yourselves and not push things past their limits. Hope everyone has a happy new year.

I love "i would kill for you" ship dynamics but what about "i would stop killing" ship dynamic??

I would lay down my sword for you. I would change my nature and go against everything i've known. I would resist the easy way out of solving my problems. I would give up the adrenaline of battle to stay by your side and make tea instead. I'm not sure I know who I am without a weapon in my hand because I've had to fight for so long but for you I'm willing to try and figure this out.

It must be hard. To put down your weapon that's protected you for so long. It's allowed you to stay alive it's kept you from getting hurt--physically and mentally. Because you've never had to worry about a real relationship if you think you'll be dead at the next battle. And you feel naked without it and it feels like you're ripping off an extension of yourself. Are you even whole without it? Are you worthy of being loved if you can't prove it by risking your life? And yet they've found someone who's asking them for something much harder than dying in battle on their behalf. They've found someone who wants them to live. And that's much more terrifying.

I must not buy. Buying is the purse-killer. Buying is the little-dopamine that brings total bankruptcy. I will face my wishlist. I will permit the limited time sale to pass over me and through me. And when it has expired I will turn the inner eye to see its impulses. When the mania has gone there will be nothing. Only $ will remain.

part of why elon is so openly transphobic now is how mad he is that his ex started dating a trans woman, and elon's trans daughter humiliated him by disowning him as her father. in case you were wondering. being transphobic is part of revenge to him. he truly is a professional ex. professional ex partner and professional ex father.

Hello! Here we have my and @cissyswonderland's TFN2023 catalogue! The store with leftovers will be open sometime after the convention and will probably stay open from two weeks to a month, just like last year.

See you on August 11th in Birmingham. :)
