I printed him out and stuck him to my wall

I had better not hear any of y'all praising him for "saving" it now that it's back up. It's a fucking psyop. They're trying to control the narrative and make him a hero to gen z and gen alpha, where he's notoriously unpopular.

They're going to try and put some Republican blowhard who doesn't know how to set a tv to HDMI 2 in charge of social media. They're going to censor and silence and push their own narratives. It's going to become Twitter and "Truth Social".

Don't fall for it. Don't go back to Tiktok.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

So that was a fucking lie

Twitter-related ramble under the read more:

As someone who relies on posting on social media in order to make a living essentially (ALL my money comes from my art in some way, and my only way of getting seen is social media) do I finally bite the bullet and delete my twitter account?

I've been wanting to drop that awful fucking site for over 2 years now, but again given the condition I've described above, the prospect of losing half of all my following is kind of terrifying (yes I'm aware it doesn't map 1:1 with actual visibility, given the algo, bots, grifters, people leaving the site in general) .

It's been 2+ years of tolerating and tolerating increasingly awful changes and honestly I just want to be done with it. Maybe I do a trial run of locking my account and not posting for a couple months to see if it has much of an impact? (honestly I just want to jump ship NOW)

My only other social media profiles are tumblr and bluesky, and frankly I don't see many good alternatives if I want to build a following anywhere else.

Might consider cara and artstation but both are riddled with problems and not exactly social media as such, also very artist-centric so a bit niche. Facebook, Threads and Instagram are completely out of the picture. Deviantart is obviously out, and sites attempting to fill that void like inkblot and sheezyart seem dead too, and also suffer the artist niche problem. Genuinely where is one supposed to go? (please don't suggest tiktok)

People who don't have to worry about making a living off these sites are very quick to encourage people to delete twitter, but I hope I've illustrated why that's a daunting prospect even after everything that's happened on there? I stopped using it casually as social media ages ago, but I still feel compelled to post on my art account consistently.

If you're an artist in a similar position as me and have actually gone through with deleting twitter I'd love to hear about your experience with it.

Just a thought, but in a stream, Pearl asked who we wanted her to partner up with (other than Gem) in the next life series if there is one.

And the conclusion she saw most in chat was Grian ‘cause of y’know, Skyblings, and that gave me a thought.

If those two did partner up, someone is going to have their curse broken.

It’s become a general uh, theory (?) within the fandom that both Pearl and Grian have some variation of the Widow’s curse - Grian with having a hand in (final) killing his teammates in some way and Pearl outliving her teammates in each series.

Therefore if they do partner up together! One curse will be broken and I honestly don’t know which I want to be broken more.

Anyways thank you for coming to my sleep deprived RunningRamble, have a good rest of your day y’all.

I’m starting to learn that my first apple pen lasting like 5-6 years may have been something of a fluke, for fucks sake

Though I suppose also have the earlier gen iPad which has the stupidest charging method ever devised instead of just sticking to the rectangle and absorbing its life force

But SOMEONE made the second gen pens not COMPATIBLE with my OLD DOG of an ipad

UUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHUHHHH

Honestly if your opinion on a fascist softens or flips really at all, but especially just because he "saved" your little dopamine machine attention span killer that keeps shoving Product To Buy in your face and is making its stance very clear, I think you need to reevaluate your life and yourself, and maybe lose your internet for a week or 5 as a forced digital detox

[crunchsoup]

There's something so RK1K about them dying to opposing elements idk..

[aure-entuluva-2407]

'sup guys. i need. practice with digital art. so. i made a bunch of palettes. send me a character, an expression, and a palette, and i'll draw it for you. (i picked this one cause it's sillay. just like me)

please note that even though the palettes have star wars names, that's just cause i'm me. you don't have to send in star wars characters, you can send in whomever you want

oh boy a 3rd one as requested by an anon. decided to use words not numbers this time

hey I really want to see what you all are doing with these, so could you tag the stuff you do with #ctcfacething id love to see it

The characters in the Eltingville club like guys I've had shitty dates with, because I find it funny

Josh. We went to the cinema, during the movie he tried to lie on my shoulder (he was 185± centimeters, I was 160), after which we decided to eat pizza. I literally gave him money and told him he could take whatever he wanted. When we already received the order, he found out that the ham was included and picked it out for about fifteen minutes. (Yeah, he's Jewish and doesn't eat ham, but he forgot to ask what's in the pizza)

Pete. We talked with a guy from a dating site for a while and decided to go for a walk. He took me to a very crime-ridden area of our city, and we walked through some dark alleys without people or lights. He tried to tell me about how snuff videos made him feel alive and about how he SET FIRE TO CATS' TAILS (he seemed completely normal and even cute to me online). As a result, we met two of my friends, who took me away on the pretext that we needed to do a project for college.

Jerry. DATING SITE AGAIN. It's going to be a sad story because he was quite sweet. We walked for the first couple of minutes and I told him some typical mom joke about, AND HE SAID THAT HIS MOTHER HAD DIED OF CANCER. I felt ashamed. He spent three hours telling me about his favorite cartoons and board games. (We didn't work out because at the second meeting he tried very hard to get into my house and wrote that we were destined to be together)

Bill. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Technically, we didn't have a date because I didn't show up. We talked online for a while, it seemed to me that he was a complete jerk and hated me (he had a Joker on his pfp and he called all women whores). We agreed to meet and go for a walk at the mall. He wrote where I was and I wrote that I would not come and would stay at home. He wrote that he wasn't coming either because I was a dumb cunt and not worthy of his attention. And he WAS OFFENDED THAT I DIDN'T COME, because he thought he was laughing at the fact that I seriously thought we were going to have a date. He blocked me.

I used a translator because I'm too damn lazy to translate it manually, and it was just a quick thought. Sry

I call it the pizza incident. The Hawaiian Pizza incident.

[beentobeetle]

bestie how do you feel about about malevolent but bella haunts arthur and follows him around? she is sipping ghost wine and going "good >:)" whenever he falls down a hole

??? I LOVE THIS ??? SO MUCH ????

Oh god he’ll occasionally catch glimpses of her (or. more. John would) and it’s just this whole thing of “A woman keeps appearing to me in moments of anguish and terror. The worst part is she always seems to be smiling and crying at the same time.”

Bella being really pissed about the fact that, for some reason, she’s tethered to the one guy she really wouldn’t want to be. John continuously asking “Orthur, who is the woman I keep seeing? Why did you seem so distraught when I described her, and even more so when she whispered ‘little bitch’ to us after falling down another hole? Orthur why are you putting your head in your hands. Orthur get the hell up what are you doing.”

Geez. What a thought. I should draw this
