I'm just posting this here because I've gotten a slew of new watchers since my last journal. And while I appreciate the follows, I'm just wanting to make it clear that you will see NO new art from me on this account for the foreseeable future.

I'm still on Furaffinity to check up on artists that I follow here (especially given that Twitter, or "X," or whatever is no longer viable), but I do not trust this site's moderation enough to continue uploading art here. For those who aren't aware of what led to this, several months ago, Furaffinity added a very vaguely-worded update to their AUP that they have been using ever since to target babyfur and ABDL artists - including those who, like me, do not draw inappropriate material of underage characters. At every turn, they have insisted that they're not doing so, but the artists I've seen get high-level strikes and bans over innocuous art tell a different story. Many others (including non-ABDL-adjacent artists) have voiced their complaints about the vagueness of the policy and have been ignored. In May, FA set up a feedback channel in their Discord server - the feedback was overwhelmingly negative. In response, FA's moderators turned off reactions and eventually shut down the channel altogether - lying and saying it was being used to "abuse staff." (I personally witnessed messages being deleted that were not in any way "abusive" or "harassing.") When they closed the channel, they stated that they would be taking time considering how to best respond to the feedback. It has now been nearly four months, and not a word has been said, so we can only assume that their idea of "how to best respond" is complete, stonewalling radio silence. Given that fact, I have chosen to cultivate galleries elsewhere instead of here.

I am most active on Mastodon (I no longer use Twitter), and frankly, that is where I encourage everyone to go. There's a lot of misinformation out there about Mastodon ("it's too complicated," "it's a walled garden," "it encourages feudalism" - all false), and the truth is that it is the exact atmosphere I've hoped for in a social media space. If you've bought into the misinformation and can't separate yourself from it, or if you just aren't interested in branching out to yet another social media platform and would like to just stick to furry sites, I am also on SoFurry and Cohost, though uploads in both of those places are somewhat more sporadic than on Mastodon. I am also active on BlueSky.
If you are interested in seeing new art from me, I encourage you to follow me in one (or more) of those places instead.
