#maybe a blog site?

[popsunner]

Hello!!! It is Christmas season! I know it is late for most of this. But when you see this I NEED you to look so hard. My mama has an Etsy shop, and she’s super self conscious about her art, she calls it a seamstress’s hobby, but it’s beautiful.

She still uses the account my sister made for them when she wanted to try business and selling art and my mom was backing her 100%, I’m working on building her a new one that’s not Etsy but I’m not sure what sites are good. Preferably any suggestions for sites would also be able to be like a gallery, for things she doesn’t want to sell or just to showcase her work! If any of my art besties or sale besties have suggestions, I would love that.

Also, if you’re looking for a nice handmade gift that’s on the pricey end because it’s handmade, her stuff is timeless. Or if you know rich people or if your parents like you enough to post Facebook posts you wrote for them. Pretty please boost for my lovely mama.

She cleans, spins, and dyes her own wool for her projects, this is a Mrs. Claus with bendable fingers she just finished for my grandma!

Especially with the boycotts and how terrible capitalism is, consider supporting a small artist who sources everything ethically!!

#homemade #small artist #wool art #needle felting #small business #christmas gift #thoughtful gifts #figurines #sculpting #help me #for real if nothing else I need help knowing what site to use #I’ve heard Etsy takes a lot of revenue #so I want a sight she can make money off of but also post things she doesn’t want to sell #maybe a blog site? #thank you all!

my ass is not getting into heaven with these pink haired pete wentz pictures on my computer dawg 🤣

#sorry if ive been psycho posting for the last few hours #<- actually i have noooo idea what ive been posting maybe i made 3 whole posts but it feels like a lot #was supposed to be working on my resume but ive just been on flickr the whole day #now im on smugmug which.. didnt know people actually use that site #feels like a photospam website. the quantity of pictures from 1 show is more than i see ever #which i guess flickr is like a portfolio thing and smugmug is for posting on your silly blog spot yadda yadda who cares #do you sometimes feel like you can/have to talk constantly and you notice that youre being annoying but you cant stop it from happening #like yesterday i noticed i was just starting a convo every 3 seconds and annoying everyone else. im like that dumb fairy from loz #hey look at this hey did you know hey do you ever think about hey hey hey. like shut the fuck up bitch damn

oh my God i just tried out the tumblr mobile website on my phone's internet browser and holyshityouguys were you hiding this from me??

i just deleted the app fr

#holyshit I can mess with already-typed tags just like on desktop waaah?! 😂 #when people put links to other tumblr posts in their comments I can actually click them!! #I *can* turn off people's weird blog settings to make their blog readable! I didn't think you could do that on the mobile site but it's eas #WHY does anyone use the app?? #the only thing I can't seem to do is drag and rearrange tags anymore #but god knows that feature never seemed to work on the app either 🙄 #it just rearranged tags in random order so you'd spend way too long trying to fix them before giving up and rewriting #or maybe I just have thick fingertips and it's a skill issue but whatever #point is: zero buyer remorse this is so much better #it's a brave new world y'all 😆 #hellsite #game changer

Future Crunch just paywalled their good news for "Energy" and "Technology"??? Which it looks like is about half of all their Good News?? (x)

I'm not particularly surprised because I WAS wondering how they made enough money to stay solvent, but I am dismayed

Partly on my own principles and partly because this kinda feels like it does/should go against their whole ethos??

Like if your big mission statement is "If we want to change the story of the human race in the 21st century, we have to change the stories we tell ourselves" (x) ....maybe you shouldn't paywall those stories???

That sounds very counterproductive and like you're taking access to good news away from a lot of people who need/want to hear it the most??? Esp in people in countries whose currency is much weaker than the US dollar??

#not news #I debated about posting this bc it's technically kinda bad news #but future crunch is one of the highest quality sources of good news I've found #in terms of breadth and research #and especially for non-US and non-Western #they pull a lot of their good news from WHO reports and the like #it was maybe the biggest site/influence in terms of catalyzing me to go “wait maybe we CAN do this” #“maybe we CAN survive” #so it's a huge shame and I feel obligated to comment on a fellow (if way bigger and very different) Good News Outlet #part of me is tempted to subscribe for my own sake and to be able to post the articles they post about to this blog #if you're not familiar with future crunch it's a giant roundup with 1-5 sentences per topic #so I could easily link to the things they link #but a) again I resent this on my very strong freedom of information / anarchist adjacent principles #and b) not til I get a new day job lmao #me

#my art #trans #side note: following tags are a pretty long thought dump #ugh okay i'm going to be honest #i didn't know anything about predstrogen until she was banned and many people started talking about her #also looked through photomatt's blog very briefly #to me he sounds callous- if that's the right word. he just didn't seem to care about what happened to predstrogen prior to her being banned #also? car with hammers that explodes multiple times feels far from being a serious death threat to me #yes predstrogen explicitly mentioned death wishes #but i don't know. what she said is more cartoonish than serious #also something i noticed from photomatt: where is the evidence that predstrogen threatened other users? #i haven't been looking into all this that deeply #but that photomatt stating that as part of the reason for predstrogen's ban and then not elaborating is. weird. for lack of better words #on a slightly different note: i love tumblr and how i can be my silly queer self and nobody cares #but if we don't stand up for each other — especially those who are constant targets for harrassment and other crappy things #tumblr will eventually die or bear no resemblance to the site i enjoy so much #maybe i'm privileged! being a trans masc guy #or maybe i'm ignorant #but i guess i have a tendency to say a lot. and i hate staying silent when i have the opportunity to speak out #so i'm going to scream #and i hope y'all are going to speak in support of trans women too

Okay with permission obtained from @tomhoppusdelonge here is hands down my favorite piece of art I've posted to this blog so far! (and among my favorite pieces I've made in a hot minute)

In my head I've been affectionately referring to this drawing as "Orkangel Tomabyte" which is as good a title as any :3

#my sketches #nsft art #selfie recreations #kind of #a LOT more artistic liberty was taken with this one lmao #I know nothing about warhammer 40k other than what little I managed to glean from reading/listening to The All Guardsmen Party #and also blood for the blood gods of course #so this piece was just me searching many a [[search term] warhammer 40k] lol #as always I've reblogged the source selfie right before posting this so it'll be easily viewable #I should maybe however start tagging them in conjuction #can you tell I'm not an experienced blogger lmao #I've been a lurker on this site for decades (on not this blog lol) but I barely ever post original content #tomhoppusdelonge #Orkangel Tomabyte

the amount of misinformation that has been circling outside of neopets circles I swear

I see a new rumor every time

“They’re free from nft bros” Nope. Owned by one!

“The original team rebought them” God fucking no and you should not want them to, Adam Powells little meltdown over neopets users criticizing his new crypto venture is reason enough lol.

“The company was sold to Neopets Internal Teams” They sold it to the guy who used to head the former NFT project and are promising this means TNT has more freedom “under new leadership“ with “no current plans for crypto/NFTs” (This is not a promise not to make them)

One of the “brand ambassadors” who is supposed to help TNT with the knowing and understanding the userbase is some celebrity who’s wife is also a celebrity who I’ve seen people CLAIM used to be a Neopets mod. Does that sound like a neopets user who can tell the neopets team what the average user wants? No call for users who aren’t celebrities to become brand ambassadors has been made afaik.

Current Neopets mods are silencing trans people for mentioning HRT as well as top surgery and ignoring cis people talking about pregnancy, death, and surgery. (Have seen these boards go on for several hours and never get deleted even after a heated debate on one one about abortion) 

There’s items and backstory on the site that are racist. Neopets users have asked these be addressed. Do you think this “brand ambassador” will address any of that? Why does the ambassador need to be a celebrity? Unless the actual intent is to have “ambassadors” who sell neopets as a brand to the potential new userbase and isn’t about “listening to the users” at all.

god can one person with a huge following please for once just reblog and acknowledge the TRUTH. (doesn’t have to be from me I’d just like the actual info to be spread!) Awareness will help us keep the worst from happening! Pretending everything is fine until it isn’t is NOT the way!

If you want the actual info on the site Neopets has a fansite dedicated to reporting Neopets news including everything TNT tries to sweep under the rug

https://www.jellyneo.net/?comments=14391

A direct quote from their article on this

“ New CEO of Neopets is Dominic Law, who previously headed the Neopets Metaverse and brokered a "management buyout deal" “

Please if you’re reading this

stop spreading misinformation

spread the real information

make your own post even

this could go either way right now

this is not a “neopets renaissance”

this is a crossroads and we don’t know where we’re going yet. It could be great, or it could be the end of the site.

(Editing my reblog in so it can hopefully get seen too, I was provided with more accurate info on the brand ambassador.)

@pirakeet Thanks! Was actually hoping someone COULD correct this :3 Cause I was REALLY HOPING it wasn’t what it seemed since all I could find was a twitter post with an attached video where he accepts it (I immediately fled twitter may be why)

[Image Text ID]  Posted by tumblr user pirakeet: I’m not correcting anything, but just letting you know the “brand  ambassador” program has been made available - just presumably not in  the ‘john legend’ sense:  https://portal.neopets.com/brand-ambassador-program  and for clarity, i’ve been popping off about the difference, this isn’t a  “gotcha moment”.   There’s more info when you click “apply” and it takes you to a google  doc [End Id]

As I said I’m more interested in the truth being spread so I hope this can be seen!

#it COULD be fine right now it COULD be #but let's acknowledge the issues we're having instead of ignoring them! #esp if you DON'T EVEN USE THE SITE FOR FUCK'S SAKE #I'm so tired #I'm a small blog trying to get people with big followings to see me and acknowledge me so we can spread FACTS instead of Wishful Thinking #neopets #I wish people with big followings would just acknowledge the facts #I'm giving up after this I don't care anymore #I've been there for 20 years maybe it's time to just let it die

Sorry for this, but people have been really fucking annoying on the comments of my posts lately that I'm really really considering privating the blog for some days or something bruh💀

#like cmon now the people on my instagram and my twitter have been behaving better that tumblr thats wild #like okay ppl aren't comenting anything like horrible but it's so stupid like- #logging into tumblr truly is something #i limited comments on the blog for only ppl that follow me for a while so if tomorrow i get anything stupid im just packing up #just for a couple of days dw #anyways sorry for venting or ranting idk what this is #but like!!! i always hear people say that tumblr is the most chill social media site and like thats not true for me bruh #well to be fair i did have some really really chill months for a while this year but i guess that's over now with october idk #anyways maybe i will post art later who knows #not art #delete later #maybe #also this is not about the people that say nice things on my posts don't worry guys this is not about them #sorry if someone thought that

Lately I've been feeling like a falling bomb The ground is getting closer And the sky is falling down

#thursday #thursday band #geoff rickly #this song brought to you by a falling bomb #war all the time #fanart #thursday fanart #new art blog! it's been a while since i uploaded anything to tumblr but every other art site out there feels like hell #maybe tumblr isn't hell? #anyway this was meant to be a quick sketch but i wanted to get it RIGHT and I ended up slaving away at it for months instead ... #still not sure i got it right but at some point i just have to let it go

i genuinely love when you can tell an older show was Not made with high quality video viewing in mind. i am watching knight rider and constantly seeing all the little mistakes they surely brushed under the rug thinking nobody would see them on their crunchy little CRTs back in the 80s, that are huge attention grabbers now in HD fullscreen on my 3 foot computer monitor

the biggest one of course is all the drivers/controllers for the (in-universe) self driving car, kitt. there's guys tucked down in the footwells who can't always stay out of the shot. there's a guy who has a Car Seat Suit to blend in and look like the drivers seat from a distance, but you can always tell when that's the method they're using for a particular shot because its so much thicker than the passenger seat next to it and the headrest is missing it's cutout section. in at least one instance he starts taking the suit off too early, on a focus shot of the damn car, so its REAL visible.

all the extremely obvious stunt drivers or performers who look nothing like the character they're supposed to be

props, such as animals, vanishing from the car interior for stunt/race sequences.

the production crew (or their shadows) being visible in the background. only at a glance, but its especially hilarious in shots where nobody else is supposed to be around

the camera panning out from a sound stage set far enough that you can actually see over the edges of the set and into the stage they were filming in. mostly this happens with their truck trailer mobile unit thing.

this one isn't a mistake but every time the car "turbo jumps" they CLEARLY hide the ramp behind another car, a prop, the environment, and its just. so charming. sometimes its blatantly on screen just for a moment. like... of Course in real life this car isn't magically leaping 20 feet, of course its a ramp, but it's still so silly and fun to be reminded of how they were doing those stunts to begin with.

also not really a mistake but related, the bracket they keep on the front of the car for stunt work.... is just left on half the time. cuz it's a pain to take on and off.

and there are more examples that are more unique that haven't cemented themselves in my head well yet, but these are the more notable or common things i see and it's really charming. if i'm not giggling to myself noticing the "seams" and flaws and so human imperfections of your show or movie what EVEN is the point. hollywood is too flashy these days i think!

#liz blogs #knight rider #kr #tv production #1980s #television #i dont even know if this is a 'older tv' thing or if its just a knight rider thing because i've seen all of classic columbo at this point #and i think i can think of... maybe one or two times you saw the edges of a sound stage room. and thats it #i dont know Why its like this i dont know how common it is for shows of the era but i love it to bits. cannot get through an episode #with somebody without pointing out the quirky little things i notice. #y'know what hollywood really can burn there is such a great backlog of media to watch #i need to gif that guy pulling off his Seat Costume in the MIDDLE of the SHOT. that was so fucking funny. my favorite blooper so far #a lot of these have to do with kitt bc he IS a prop but its extremely funny how hard they push the 'HES INDESTRUCTIBLE' thing #and every other boost landing has the car looking like its gonna snap in fucking half like a twig. got some ROUGH landings #i wanna know how many stunt kitts they went through they really beat the shit outta those cars sometimes #i think if this show were free on streaming like columbo way more people on this site would like it it is a weirdly charming little show

sanuso and shuggy shippers were always like this or is it new? Just accept your ships will never be anything near popular and recognisable. Hey maybe it’s not the ugly part, which they are and maybe there’s a reason Oda decided to do that.

but just you are not the only ones calling dibs on depth.

You guys have obvious inferiority complex to other ships. shaggy was fine but then 1082 happened and you got rabies. Whenever there’s any convo comparing mishanks and shuggy you just use “DEEPTH”. I just wait for other backstories and I wonder what copium you will use then

Have you considered drinking one of these

#you are going into people's blogs to complain and i am the one with the inferiority complex? #which it is true by the way but that stays between me and my sanuso fics #how many times do i have to ask people to not involve me into ship wars #I LITERALLY SHIP MISHANKS TOO ????????????? AND OTHER SANJI/USOPP SHIPS????????? #i am a multishipper and it is SO hard for me to find a ship i DON'T like #out of all the people in this site why send this to ME i am literally shipping these characters with EVERYONE #anyway do you want some tea and a massage bc maybe that way you won't be so rude

[incorrectstevebucky]

i haven’t really looked at this blog in so long and i have so many half finished drafts that i never posted and posts that i was meaning to queue but never did

#it’s kind of eerie #like i just exited this site one day and never came back #reminds me of that old post about how there was a day your parents put you down and never picked you back up again #i wonder what i missed is there new lore #is tumblr better or worse now #is there a fic or blog or some other fan work everyone’s obsessed with #what happened the last time i was active here #i think maybe 2020/21 #marvel accidentally made sb canon again in what if #is sb canon again again #what’s the big marvel ship #i think the last thing i saw was nwh #what did i even talk about here #oh i do remember this though #not an incorrect quote

Btw this is the only appropriate way to start a conversation with me from now on 👍

#any other message will not be entertain and be exiled from this site #okay but hHDKDHDKSKSLSJSLQNDJSLSN AAAA #this person dmd me because I was going nuts over Utonium on twt on they were like “oh this person is insane about utonium maybe they have a #collection of specific screenshots of utonium in their album“ LIKE YES SIRRR I HAVE 500 OF THEN IN MY PHONE RN #anyway fun fact: my blog is still the top result on google if you guys googled 'ppg professor utonium apron' #like im so ill for that hskskslsls #asuka speaks

Tillneh n Avriette designs. they aren't gonna fully show up in Welcome Captian Seaside, so im sharing these lil doodles of them here. they're god's least favorite muppets

semi related but i started posting some TofS pages onto comicfury :] i like using that site and i think it'll be good place to post some comic pages outside of tumblr. page 5 (or the first half of "part 3" here) is already uploaded onto there if u wanna check it out

#The Coast grumpuses are known for their big ass eyebrows #the next part of Welcome Captain Seaside will be posted onto the blog soonish. probably tomorrow or saturday #im debating whether or not i wanna include the 'ask blog' aspects onto the comicfury site #maybe it'll just be it's own chapter in between actual comic sections. since they do give out importantish info lol #bug game

blocking at least two pornbots every day gets annoying real quick. how come the purge wiped out beautiful pieces of art and restricted so many talented (not only nsfw!) creators, yet the pornbots are worse than ever?????????????

#mycrappyVENT #I really am tired y'all #I do not come to this site to be doing the job the staff was supposed to do #blocking and reporting every new blog that follows me because all of them are effin bots #*sigh* #sorry just needed to vent about this #as there anything I can do to make them stop following me? #is there like an anti-pornbot spray #or maybe an incense I can burn
