We're gonna get medicine for our cat in the morning. We need $80 for this first batch. As such, I would be happy to doodle whatever you want if you leave a tip 😝

I can draw ocs, fanart, ships (oc x canon and self ship ok 👍), you, your pet, your favorite monster hunter dragon... Just black and white and maybe one spot color for now while we're taking care of our kitty. 💖 Here's some examples of ko-fi doodles i've done before.

After confirming that Disney owns the "sexy-beast.com" domain name, I've decided I should probably give sleep another attempt. Till morrow!

A text from my sister today: In a meeting this morning we’re all looking at a slide in the deck with a bunch of stuff color coded. Some dude chimes up, “I’m looking at this slide and see that the colors here represent all but one of the Infinity stones. The one we’re missing is the Reality stone.”

Can’t sleep because I had a brilliant idea—

It started with, “I wish there was a list of all domain names owned by media companies that billionaires own, so I can block them in Clew, my search engine that focuses on independent creators.”

Then I realized: in the DMCA Designated Agent directory (which I have an entry in, story for another day), most media companies list every domain name they own/operate. With some work on scripting sifting through the data, I could conceivably put this together!

For example, TIL Disney Enterprises, Inc. owns the “101dalmations.xxx” domain.

They called itch.io's mom?????

Over 350 musicians are speaking out to demand that major labels drop a lawsuit aimed to destroy the Internet Archive.

For The Love of God, Make Your Own Website. “It will only become more painfully clear how important sovereign websites are to protecting information and free expression.” https://aftermath.site/website-musk-twitter-facebook-internet

itch.io's registrar literally put a "please stop emailing us about itch" banner on their support contact page, so I think they've figured out they might have shut down a legitimate and well-loved website that was not a... phishing... campaign... against... Funko Pops...?

In case you need some stories of hopeful futures and resistance to tyranny to help get you through the next couple of days, I've put all of these anthologies on sale via the World Weaver Press online store.

American admiral and computer scientist, (designed COBOL) Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906.

She created the first compiler, the A-0 System, in 1952. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. Hopper popularized the term "debugging" in computing after discovering an actual moth causing a malfunction in the Mark II computer.

The entire itch.io site has reportedly been taken down by "some trash AI powered" software used by Funko (yes the ugly vinyl big heads).

Want!

So my cat found the Christmas tree.

Hello! Here is my art summary for 2024. I decided to produce this one early this time because I never got to make one last year...

And, considering what happened late last year and onward, I think it's remarkable that I managed to create and finish something during each month, haha.

With that aside, I hope I will keep creating new artwork next year!!
