Not Again

🚨Safety Alert Australia

If you rely on a hidden phone for your safety, be aware that Australia’s new emergency warning system, AusAlert, can send alerts that override silent and “Do Not Disturb” settings.

If safe to do so, turn off any hidden device before the scheduled test and only switch it back on after the test period has ended.

I'm sure a lot of you saw it, but discord reaches new levels of bullshit.

Their AI strikes grid as child sexual abuse material and permabans accounts.

You have been turned into this type of mermaid!!

i normally don't post things like this, but i saw this sweet boy and i can’t stop thinking about him.

jax is currently in a kill shelter in minsk and the tierhilfe belarus is trying to help him and others.

jax urgently needs a home.

jax is:

male

around 2–3 years old

shy, but allows touch

good with other cats

if anyone in germany is willing to adopt a cat, please consider jax.

contact: [email protected]

please contact them, let them know you're interested. they will take care of vaccinations, castration, and transport. there is a fee.

i'm willing to help with costs if there is true interest in adopting him. i just want him to be safe.

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

Okay, haven't tried this in awhile. But here we go. I'm opening up three digital commission slots.

Keeping it kind of simple this time, it'll be $50 for a half body, fully colored piece with simple color or color and pattern backgrounds like in the examples below

I'm open to people's favorite characters, OCs, and TTRPG characters

No anthro, mechs/robots, or excessive gore. I am simply not good enough at them to warrant anyone paying for that

If you are interested in a commission or want to inquire about something different, like full body, a second character, or anything else, just message me, and we can talk about it

Examples:

“Hey Fishstick.” Fingon let out a long breath. “We need to talk.”  The merman was by Fingon’s side in the blink of an eye. He smiled, teeth sharp, and kissed him. Fingon let him. Coppertop huffed and pulled away. He raised an eyebrow. They’re browner than his hair, Fingon thought. But still with that copper tinge. I want to smooth one---Focus!

Fingon ran a finger along Coppertop’s arm. The wet, rubbery skin felt cool underneath Fingon’s fingertip. He took a deep breath. “Coppertop, we can’t,” he gestured between them, “You and me, no more.” 

Coppertop’s pupils moved side to side. Fingon watched him think. The merman cocked his head and chirped. 

“Good question! I really like you. You’re handsome, smart, funny, brave, kind.” You’re breaking up with him, not proposing. Stop. “The thing is, Coppertop, I don’t think it’s right…uh, good,” he amended at Coppertop’s confused look. He tried to think through the words he knew the merman knew. “You are not bad. I am not bad. But us,” his voice shook, “we’re bad together.” 

Copertop shook his head, hair flying. 

“We are.” Fingon’s eyes burned. “I am in charge of everything for you. Your water. Your food. Your toys. Where you go. You can’t do anything without me.’ 

Coppertop trilled angrily. The shrill screech hurt Fingon’s ears. Coppertop gestured with his hand and arm. “I don’t know what you’re saying, but I know you’re disagreeing. And that’s another thing. I can only understand the big picture. Not what you actually are saying.” He played with one of his braids. “I don’t even know your name.” 

Coppertop screeched the same sound over and over again, fingers tangled with Fingon’s. “I can’t say it, Coppertop. I’m sorry!” He let go of his hand. “We can stay friends, but only that.” 

Coppertop shook his head again. 

“I’m sorry!” Fingon promised in a thick voice. “But it’s not good. Not with you stuck here.” Coppertop snorted in derision, chin jutting haughty. “I know you don’t care, but…I do. It’s for the best. You, me, no more.” He wiped at his eyes. Coppertop wasn’t convinced. His face darkened when Fingon scooted away. 

He chirped, scowling, and dove into the water. With a flip of his tail, he doused Fingon and disappeared into his alcove.
