Something I randomly remembered:
Yeeears ago on birbsite (when it was very difrerent and I was active) I noticed an uptick of weirdly antagonistic or pointless mansplaining replies to my tweets. I realized I had changed my profile picture to a female knight drawing: not a portrait, just a drawing I made for a business card. I swapped to a male character drawing (from my then webcomic)... and it calmed down.
(also haven't had the nasty once anywhere since I've been an eevee).

PSA if you do business as an artist or pay/tip others. Since another one of my friends got one of their accounts banned on a platform needed for income, please remember these things:

If you are an artist and create invoices, via for example Paypal, only ever put "art commission" or similar onto them. Do not give them any further information.

If you pay or tip an artist, only ever put your nick/name, transaction ID or agreed text into any description field. If nothing is needed, put nothing there.

Do not link websites or social media accounts that remotely contain nsfw material on your income platforms. It sucks, but it's not worth it.

Do not ever use a Payment/income platform's messaging service to discuss a commission or send media over it. Use something that is completely unrelated and don't "connect" these services unless absolutely necessary. If they are connected, use something else to talk about the work. Things you can use safely include Matrix and Signal.

And finally, if you need to share large files/media, do not use stuff like Google / One / Whatever drive. There are things like wormhole to send larger amount of data encrypted. If you absolutely need to use a corporate "drive", encrypt the files you share there so they can't "scan" it while it's stored there.

These things also do not only apply to nsfw art commissions. Who knows what payment processors will object to tomorrow or what some "ai" algorithm scanner will flag as a ToS violation. And be aware that anything you talk about on non encrypted platforms, will be scanned by the operator of it.

Only vaguely related but I once again I remembered the time when, for Xmas, my dad took up the pot with Bigos to put out on the balcony in my room(since it was freezing outside and the fridge was full) and since he needed to free his hands he put the pot on my desk, right on top of my pile of drawings. Not out of malice; he didn't even CONSIDER anything on my desk might be important enough not to get bigos on it. Yes I was sitting right there. No he wouldn't put it on his or my mom's papers.
I have, a'propos something completely unrelated, realized a particular anxiety spike I get at a certain stage of creative projects is something that's happening because of shit my father used to do. In this case it should be easier to deal with (I wasn't sure WHAT it was, now that I do I can learn to ignore it) than another thing I figured out quite recently, which will be much harder to root out, but bad stuff added when you were just building up your habits from ground up can be so messy ugh.
Quick paper test with the shy baby dragon Durin (Genshin Impact).
Youtube pushing AI translations and dubs and I am Tired(TM).
Me: [website] show me your mini spoons!
[website]: Glitter spoon?
Me; no. SMALLER.
[website]: Oh one for DRUGS, got it.
Me: *considers the prices of the pigments*
Me: Close enough.
Is everything being labelled social media right now? I see people using that referring to youtube and discord? Discord is a communication platform?
Like, I know user-generated content platform might not fly well because it shows who does the work (although it may soon need to be used as opposed to AI-generated content platforms) but not all of them are SOCIAL and not all SOCIAL platforms are primarily MEDIA platforms. I feel like words lose their meaning more and more (well, life too I guess)

Big thhanks to @makdaam ,I will be able to get much more use from my laptop (maybe time to consider actually moving to it from the old one...) <3

(Though momentarily I am deeply frustrated at WIndows 11 and the modern Adobe suite. Ghrrr.)

I finished a job that was pretty delayed due to my health issues and after sending it off I slept for 20 hours with a small break.
It's my "record" and the first batch of 14+ hours was a record of one long sweep, the previous ones when I was sick with fever.
I am both impressed and worried XD
