What's up, Doc?
So, I'm sure y'all know about Tumblr and their sudden ban on adult content recently. As an adult artist, I don't like that. Well, I'm giving Pillowfort a try. Haven't posted much yet as I have to manually shrink most of my images to upload them, but I'm hoping once the site really gets going that they'll implement some sort of auto-compression. It's currently run by students and volunteers, and while it's $5 for a beta access account now, it will eventually be free to sign up. I'm fine with throwing a bit of pocket change toward a project like this. Sure the site's not perfect, but it'll get there, they're still working on it. Currently I like the layout more than what Tumblr has; the user interface is elegant and easy to navigate, and that's all I really want out of a site like that. I'm not "leaving" Tumblr per se, as I still watch a lot of palaeobiology blogs on there, but I probably won't post there much anymore.
My Pillowfort, again it's still kind of empty: https://www.pillowfort.io/squeakychewtoy

And of course I'm still here. Maybe I'll be a bit more active. Been hanging out with creative people again, so I've been feeling a bit of inspiration. It's good to have caring friends again locally. It helps.
