When I joined masto, I gravitated towards following creative peeps and noticed a thing that's pretty common to all of us: we feel guilty for promoting places that people can buy our work or otherwise support us financially. So I started the hashtag for that very reason. Got an Etsy page? Online store? Patreon? Selling a piece of art? Throw that tag on it. Do it with unfettered abandon. Everyone else: Look at that tag for artists to support. Buy their stuff. Help them create. <3

I dislike capitalism but while we live under this system, I need money, and for that I need work.

if you want to try out an alternative to DeviantArt.

give this a shot

full disclosure, I work for this company and honestly, I want more users so more issues (if any) get spotted, so I can work more and hopefully earn enough to pay it forward on all money given to me over the years.

So @ChrisTalleras gets understandably super excited about having Patreon pledges (and who of us who have Patreon pages doesn't, really?) and that should be enough for you to go throw 'em a buck. If ten people pledge a dollar you will DOUBLE their current plede amount. AMAGAD AMAZE MATHEMAGICS.

Er, Franschhoek, if you're Googling it. Because two Hs are better than one, apparently.

It snowed here last night, on the mountaintops - snow in this part of South Africa is pretty rare, so my friend picked me up and we went driving over one of the local mountain passes to go through the snow, and took the doggies with us. This was just after coming down the pass on the other side into the town of Franschoek.

The $1 tier on my gives you access to a huge shared folder full of high res fractal desktop wallpapers in 16x9 and 4x3 that I add to every week or so.

Too tired to move my arm to reach my coffee

zzzzz

(Woke up an hour after bed with a headache, got up to take a tablet, then all the kittens were cold and trying to snuggle under the blanket and disrupting each other, then about 2am it started thundering and hailstoning and I was awake until after 3...)

@WelshPixie It's also good to run cold water over wrists and inside of the lower arms. Where the veins are. They'll transport the cooled blood right into the body.

@WelshPixie heat like this also makes people who have eczema more likely to break out in those hot zones. Keeping them cool and drying them well will also go long ways to making you feel better. :)

@WelshPixie
An old coach of mine taught to hold our wrists under cold water (I guess ice does the trick, too.) I donʼt really mind 40°C nowadays (although I prefer cooler, around 19°C) but when Iʼm hot I use this method with success.

@WelshPixie Swamp coolers are useful, too, if you can afford the humidity. Put ice cubes in a bowl, set a fan to blow over the top of the bowl. Take advantage of water's high vaporization enthalpy. :)
