As you may not have noticed on my Twitter, been a bit of a shitty time.
One of my uncles has recently passed away, due to spreading Cancer. They were on gene-targeting therapy to try and remove it safely, and it seemed like he might have been getting better, but with recent texts from my mother, it seems they were unlucky. I wish I could have at least seen them one more time before they passed away, but as the kind of solitary character that I am, and with a work schedule that I have, it was not possible.
At least they aren't suffering anymore

In other news, I've decided to check into Pillowfort thing, and have managed to (luckily) get an account set-up. I dunno if I will use it much, but with the possibility of another NSFW-content purge being aimed at Twitter, well.... might as well prepare for the worst.
If you like prefer I use Pillowfort, seeing as it actively supports NSFW content, I'll be fine posting there instead. I need to update all the other art sites I post at, anyway (they have become woefully out of date with posts, and I'm behind with a lot of stuff as is, though I've managed to catch up on some of the work) so it may be time to consolidate my work to a single source, rather than spreading myself out? We'll see... it could be much the same thing as Mastodon's thing, which I felt was a very poor replacement for the current Social Media giants...

If anything else occurs, I will let you know. I've been considering starting up a Twitch channel to stream games, when not streaming art.. I'd like to show off the new level in Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, as well as maybe do a Deus Ex run or maybe play another Ion Storm classic, Anachronox.
Once I have a decent set-up in OBS for it, I'll let ya'll know.

"Sexually explicit artwork that features
fictional characters who appear pre-pubescent; or
fictional characters who otherwise can be definitively and reasonably identified as minors, and lacks legitimate artistic, political, literary, or scientific value.
This section applies to visual content such as illustrations, drawings, paintings, comics, digitally-generated images, and related visual content that appears to (1) show a minor engaged in sexual conduct or (2) show a minor with exposed genitalia in a way that is intended to sexualize them."
this phrasing is really ... hinky. I can extract from this the following:
"Fictional characters who can be reasonably and definitively identifies as minors ARE ALLOWED TO BE depicted in sexually explicit visual content if [someone] can demonstrate that the work has 'legitimate artistic, political, literary, or scientific value'."
Additionally, the last part suggests it's okay to show visual content of minors with their genitals exposed as long as it's done in a way that's "not intended" to sexualize them.
So tl;dr the surface level says artwork of underage stuff is banned but the close reading offers subjective loopholes.
I have a pillowfort and felt really meh about it honestly.
I would watch you stream a game.
