many people like to post about how they don't care or are unbothered by things... me included. However, my personal rule is, if you need to post about how unbothered you are, you actually are quite bothered, and you do care.... which, there's nothing wrong with that XD

Waymo makes transit service worse in San Francisco. Their vehicles block bus zones, double park where the bus cannot get by, get stuck and generally suck. They are also getting noticeably worse as time goes on and the company pushes the boundaries of what it can get away with.

Prog rock album cover

transported to the world untold, hymns were heavy, song sung high, symphonically high, whispering necrotic tunes towers reaching those withering tower heights, into the psycho psychedelic clouds, dread fusion of colorful compositional and light harnessing new spaces grand, the eyes rolled and saw what should be heard.

“Making art, especially comics, can be a very lonely and solitary practice,” @tomatobird.bsky.social tells @mashazart.bsky.social in our latest. “While I enjoy that a lot of the time I’ve realized it’s important for me to physically put my work out there for people to touch and look at.”

'tis the season of art prompt lists. i made my own list for OC-tober this year! 🎨 have fun with it. feel free to do as much or as little as you want, repeat the same prompts multiple times, combine with other lists, whatever is fun for you! #OC-tober #OC-tober2026 #OCsky

TITLE: OC-Tober Art Prompts
Description: it's OC-tober, the perfect excuse to spend the whole month drawing your
original characters. you can approach these prompts with whatever degree
of seriousness and effort you want. this isn't a legally binding list of obligations,
it's just ideas to get the gears turning!
the list: • finish an unfinished piece (maybe even more than one)
• design a new character, or finish an unfinished design
• rework a character design that needs some polish
• design a movie poster or a magazine cover
• draw a single-page comic or short storyboard
• draw your OCs in an alternate universe
• draw your OCs in another art style
• find a blank art meme/challenge to do
• draw something you find difficult, using your OC
• draw an OC at a different age than you usually do
• redraw a scene from a movie or TV show with OCs
• draw an OC cosplaying one of the characters that
inspired their design
• redraw a childhood drawing of an OC
• draw two OCs interacting who you haven't before
• play with alternate color palettes
Footnote: re-interpret however you want or combine with other lists! the only
rules are have fun, take care of your wrists, and don't use AI.

Digital drawing of Kohaku and Aira from Ensemble Stars. They're hugging each other and looking at the viewer, Kohaku with a frown and Aira with a smile. They're dressed in pink track suits with sneakers, Kohaku with a light purple maid apron on top and Aira with a mint green apron, and they each have matching frilly maid hairbands. Their aprons also have very large, long ribbons. Behind them are gingham patterns, laced ribbons, rainbows, clouds, and stars. #cuteart #art

Fanime was a great example of this. The previous time I attended before this year was in 2016. I distinctly remember the artist alley looking a lot more like the images in this article! Artists were generally smaller scale and approachable, with only a few "big names" having huge booths of prints.
