I created a few funny spoof flyers based on those religious ones you sometimes find in bathrooms or on a bench. Here's one on Nepotism and the dangers of Harry Potter.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

been learning guitar, simply put it in my doorway and have to pick it up any time I go into my room, the idea is to grab a clean chord at minimum, I usually do a bit more of course.
took a few weeks to move on from the F chord, probably shouldn't have started with that one but it was the first chord change in the first piece I wanted to learn
so now everything else will be easy, right?
Definitely not inspired by a Korok
This is gonna be part of a huge picture that I'm drawing. I really haven't drawn a super detailed picture with a lot of background detail for a long time!
This is really nice! I hope you post the final once it's finished. Do you use procreate?
Thank you so much! I use Paint Tool Sai
Will do! Here's some progress since I posted the older version!
I love the colors! Great job on making the antler leaves look translucent. The warms and cools together make such a soothing contrast.
I imagined myself like a new Dr. Frankenstein, trying to revive democracy from whatever little of it remained. Trying to and, unlike Dr. Frankenstein back in his days, pitifully failing at reviving it.
Those last weeks have been so... painfully filled with this ugly orange hatred and despise for democracy and for its institutions that I've not really been feeling like enjoying much hobbies, I must say. My bad, 100%, and I should not let those billionaires oligarchs and their Orange clown reach me like that. I should even be thankful to them! At last, they showed the world who they really are and what they stand for. Maybe that will create an electroshock? Probably not, oligarchs are everywhere and controls already so much of what we need. Now, they also know they don't have much to worry much about and the can do whatever they want. The orange bully and his billionaire pal, have took hold of the USA. I wonder how Putin celebrated that re-election? Probably a lot more than he celebrated all of his own...
Sorry, I should not have answered like that to your fine question. I wanted to be funny and post something silly. It's just I feel a little bit depressed or maybe a little more than that, by what's happening in the USA. And how easily it's happening.
