(considering how much furry pornography stays completely unflagged on there it felt a little unfair that what is essentially pillow talk got auto-filtered.

deduced that it probably has some kind of threshold for how large an area of human skin-coloured pixels can be, but you can avoid this if they’re bald. if you’re into blue man group yaoi you’re safe i guess.)

smth i honestly recommend everyone should do is like. keep a private folder of art u like on ur computer lol. and like. download art u like when u see it. ur gonna lose stuff Forever if u just like it, u know? and like, discord archives arent really enough lol. I have been downloading art since like 2016 & I have a LOT of art that was scrubbed from the internet otherwise, especially due to like. the antics of deviantart & twitter. And on things like twitter theres Barely a way to save art to begin with (bookmarks is Not good enough)

u do kinda lose Credit a lot of the time (unless u save it with it named? which i do sometimes but not always) and often like, it won't be the Perfect HQ or itll have a massive watermark on it. but like. since it's not really for Sharing as much as its for my own personal enjoyment, these things don't really bother me at all... Having a collection of art that i love that I can look at offline & like, On My Computer is so nice. And I back up a lot of it on hard drives when i back up my own art! Again, like, a lot of these pieces this is the Only way i can look at them anymore, and Maybe the only archive OF them.... I've had pieces from my friends Before they were my friends, that i just saved as a "fan", that THEY lost years later... I have pieces they hadn't Seen in years. And every year I Probably save at least a few more pieces that will become like, totally scrubbed from technology otherwise. idk. i think it's nice to have an archive of this art that is in my taste but also like, that i'd likely Lose otherwise.

i Hope people save my art. I don't honestly Think anyone does, but I Hope that like, if my shit ever blows up and all my accounts get scrubbed, Someone has at least one drawing I made saved to their computer 2 remember me. u know. Its like a scrapbook. I remember these ppls characters, i remember the communities at the time, i remember how i felt when i first saw the piece. Its really inspiring but also genuinely like, really Important to me and sentimental. I kinda think everyone should have their own collection but I think people are genuinely Scared to right click & save ppls art LOL. Genuinely where is the harm, though.

So I work for my local transit org driving trains and one of the routes I take has me going by some wetlands and river areas that are absolutely full of birds. I've been thinking of getting into something like iNat or a similar platform to log bird sightings (I see a lot of red winged blackbirds and magpies but I'm trying to familiarize myself with other local species so I can ID others) . My issue is that, for both legal and obvious practical reasons, I can't take photos while I am operating a train. Would iNat still be helpful/useful for me if I'm not able to submit photos? My research mentions something about Research Grade but that doesn't mean much to me, and I was hoping for some recommendations since you seem to have a good familiarity with those types of platforms

Ok first of all: very cool job. Do you get to honk the horn

If you’re looking to log birds specifically though, I’d recommend eBird! iNat asks for photo or audio evidence but eBird just lets you make a checklist of what you saw and where/when. (I’d recommend logging them as incidentals if you’re not actively birding the entire time.)

Not to dissuade anyone from using it, it’s great to have people engaged, but iNaturalist is first and foremost a citizen science effort so I’d discourage using it just for personal checklists. I don’t think there’s anything stopping you from submitting observations with no media but a lot of curators are already frustrated trying to maintain the site’s data quality.

(Also iNat research-grade is a status given to observations that have species identifications vetted by enough people to be deemed reliable. They’re eventually incorporated into other databases like GBIF.)

?? just noticed the bin goes blurry in one frame. this did not happen in the original file. tumblr what did you do

edit: it's a tumblr mobile issue, this looks fine on desktop.

@sundewskies included my boys in a mass art fight attack last year and i've been obsessed with the little sprites ever since. added a traditional deviantART pagedoll bounce animation

artfight mass attack for 2024! this took. ages but it was worth it in the end imo! credits for all the characters are attached in the link below:
