the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

but the devil’s tricks just seem to sit so light on you they’d never get the marionette this tight on you

Hey folks, it's time for the fourth annual Tough Pigs Pride Month Fundraiser! To try and raise some much needed funds for LGBTQ+ people, a bunch of us Muppet fans have contributed prizes that are gonna be raffled off at the end of June. Yours truly has donated two hand-sewn/hand-crafted Robin the Frog plush replicas as prizes. I don't do commissions, so this is a very rare opportunity to snag yourself one of my creations (Plus, you get to help out a very good cause!). Check out Tough Pigs for all the information on how to enter, and to check out the other prizes that are up for grabs!

The serpent of Eden lulls an angel to sleep.

eyes hit serious diminishing returns wrt resource costs vs vision quality as they get bigger, so the question became: what the FUCK do giant (and colossal) squid need to see so badly that they couldn't see with swordfish-sized eyes that's justifying that massive energy cost? that nothing else in the deep ocean needs to see so fucking badly??

turns out the one strength eyes that big really have over much smaller eyes is: seeing large glowing objects in water deeper than 500 meters from an appreciable distance.

sperm whales are the primary predator of giant squid. sperm whales don't glow. BUT! water that deep is full of bioluminescent creatures-- these creatures light up when bumped into. something a sperm whale's size is continuously bumping into those critters, it's just surrounded by a glowing field all the time when it's swimming at those depths, visible from a distance-- if you have the right eyes-- as a massive glowing shape. so basically the only reason to have eyes the size of soccer balls is if you live in the deep ocean and your life depends on having a heads up when a hungry sperm whale lurking around

Again with another Good omens sketch bcz I miss them already:<<

more book omens!

the husbands are at a bar (?)

not sure what they’re talking about, feel free to interpret as you wish-

(im currently out of country and I drew this on the plane, turbulence certainly adds extra fun TvT)

but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)

additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.

on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.
