I guess I kinda use this

Finally finished painting this water nymph

LIVE WALLPAPER: wallpaper engine. only thing on here that costs any money (its like 5 bucks on steam). im sure theres free alternatives but this one has a lot of presets and stuff so its less hassle and its what i use. might be a bad idea for lower end pcs tho

CUSTOM TASKBAR: retrobar on github (lots of different options)

CUSTOM CURSOR: theres a lot of places to find these, but rw-designer open cursor library is a good place to start

DISCORD: betterdiscord, im using the clearvision v7 theme with a custom background

EXTENSIONS (these are for firefox, might or might not exist on other browsers):

tabliss for the new tab theme

stylus for tumblr -> specifically the 'tumblr - custom dashboard pallette' theme for colors + bg, and this for the pre-twitterifcation layout

enhancer for youtube for custom youtube colors

As promised, it’s finally here! Thank you to all of my patrons for not only the support that made this possible, but for giving me the confidence to work on a big project like this.

Rather than providing any drawing instruction, what this writeup aims to do is help you learn to unpack the decisions being made in a given composition, and articulate what elements in a piece are responsible for its impact. Being able to isolate these qualities in your own art and art that inspires you opens up avenues for improvement regardless of medium, style, or technical skill. This is the first of hopefully many PWYW art ‘tutorials’ from me. 

This one is targeting posts with ao3 links, and it’s creating AI-generated comments to pose as someone whos read your fic and totally wants to draw something for it

I went to this blog, and their actual blog is empty but their likes are public, and they’re leaving near-identical comments at break-neck speeds on any other posts with ao3 links where

~2 minutes between each of the comments above, and an endless slew of them, all extremely ChatGPT-intoned.

My name is Saja, I’m 20 years old and I live in Gaza City. I’m married and a mother to a two-year-old child.

Previously, I launched a fundraising campaign with my brother **@jaafar-gaza04**, and we used to share the donations we received to support our family during difficult times😔💔.However, due to the distance between us now, I’ve decided to create my own campaign to help my husband and child, and to provide for our basic needs during these extremely hard days.

After the recent ceasefire was announced, we truly believed the war was finally over and that things would start to get better. Sadly, the war returned with even more force — bringing more destruction, more death, and now, a real **famine**😔😭.We currently have **no food at all** for my baby — not even flour.

My husband is struggling to find any kind of work, but with the current conditions, it's nearly impossible. We have no source of income and no way to provide for our basic needs💔😭.

If you're able to help, please consider donating to my campaign.

Even a small donation can make a **huge difference** in our lives. It can help us buy food for my child and family and bring us a little light in this overwhelming darkness.

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

I'm Youssef from Gaza, and I'm facing extremely difficult circumstances after my home was destroyed in the war. I have three young children, Lana, Aboud, and Adam, who have been deprived of their right to education and play, and have endured unspeakable hardships.

Now we're living in a tent and facing a severe shortage of basic necessities. I lost my job, and the lack of hope seems to be robbing us of a life of dignity. Amidst this suffering, I've launched a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe, and I need your help to reach my goal.

I'm reaching out to you all and asking for your contribution, even a small amount, whether it's £20, £30, £50, or even £100. Every donation will have a profound impact on our lives and will help us rebuild a better future for my children.

Don't leave our children alone in this ordeal. Every little bit of help will make a big difference.
