Statement from Masto's new executive director: https://mastodon.social/@mellifluousbox/115569647168580225Dansup is a an abusive racist transphobe, and white guys insisting on acknowledging him is why marginalised people can't have nice things. Felix says 'focusing on keeping users safe' in one toot and promotes Dansup in the other? Safety if you're a cis white person, then, I guess.Receipts: https://weirder.earth/@thief/113963464416185347

It's a slow period for art sales. I don't attend xmas markets because social anxiety and burnout, so rely on online sales and not many people think to buy calligraphy as a xmas present apparently XDIf you enjoy my photography (https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/tagged/Photography) , calligraphy (https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/tagged/Calligraphy) , fractals (https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/tagged/fractals) - consider dropping me a few bucks via any of the donation links in my bio.If you appreciate the work I do running .art and campaigning for a safer fedi -

https://www.patreon.com/posts/same-as-it-ever-144274170New Patreon post on the last two weeks' worth of fedi admin stuff from mastodon.art . In that time we've had about 80 reports (which is standard for us); spammers, scammers, AI users, racism, antisemitism, ableism.Also the new Mastodon executive director hailing a known abusive racist transphobe as a 'personal hero', so that's great. :BlobCat_Eyeroll: #FediAdmin

I comfortably made rent last week and this week, thanks everyone for your generosity :otterheart: We had some really bad news recently (see a recent followers only post) that's very stressful for both of us. I'm finishing up my outstanding commissions and then going to take a break. I'm going to be relying more and more on donation income from Ko-Fi / Patreon, and monthly subs right now are incredibly helpful as there's less anxiety when I know what money is coming in.(Links to follow)

My sofa has some curlies upon it(I was actually graced with Percy's presence next to me on the sofa earlier when I was watching TV. He hopped up to get closer to Duchess, but ended up lying down next to my legs for strokes ^.^)

We happened to be driving home over a quiet mountain road last night, and about 8pm we pulled into a forestry car park. I got out of the car and stared up at the sky for about a minute then saw a huge, close, blue-tailed meteor glide through the night sky for a good two seconds before fading out. We saw two more but they were faint and fleeting. #Geminids
