A new post is up on my blog. This time, I challenge us artists not to fall into hustle culture traps (or, at least, I challenge you to question your beliefs about artist life). It is a long one, so bookmark if you don't have the time to read it right now.

How are some artists creating perfect digital copies from on-paper drawings almost instantly?

Where is everyone? This instance reportedly has almost 30,000 users. The Local feed looks as if we have only 30.

Can someone remind me of what the "mastoArt" hashtag is for?

Also, is a good tag for talking to the instance?

Can someone remind me of what the # mastoArt is for? I'm sure I've read an explanation, but I don't remember it.

(Is good for this toot? I imagine that's for talking to the instance....)

Orchids II
Felt pen on A4 art paper

Reference for this orchid came from my own backyard. And I don't know the type of orchid. I do know it's not cymbidium nor phalaenopsis. It is possibly a dendrobium. I'm still a terrible gardener.

@max_sang I don't think @Curator's decision is based on 'policing the language', but rather to be more descriptive yet succinct in the content warnings while also using less exclusionary language.
The way I read it, is choosing to remove 'NSFW' as a blanket term from their own documentation, and to try and nurture a culture where people use more context appropriate terms.

E.g. their code of conduct has sentences such as:

«Tag sensitive content such as violence/blood, lewd content, and other potentially upsetting or triggering topics and hide them under a Content Warning»

and

«Illustrative nudity and body/anatomy studies with very visible genitalia, and titillating / erotic imagery intended for mature audiences are allowed on •ART, but only if tagged appropriately (ex. ⌗lewd, ⌗nudity, etc.) and marked as sensitive or placed under a descriptive content warning.»

This would allow people who want to exclude specific kinds of adult/context-inappropriate content in a more fine-grained way.
I do guess it would require people who'd otherwise exclude based on the nsfw tag to gradually add more hashtags, and for content that otherwise would be excluded to suddenly now appear in their feeds again, though because they still need to be accompanied by content warnings, the impact of the latter should be minimal.

I'm not sure if the change of their code of conduct prohibits the use of nsfw as hashtag, or rather just avoids it by suggesting a less exclusionary alternative.

Anyway, tldr, I don't think this is 'policing the language', but rather moving towards a better alternative.

Today I share this creation... Heart of the ocean. I cast this from Herculite 2 and then hand painted dot Mandala style.

During the early days of the Pandemic, I painted rocks with Mandala dot patterns and left them in front of my neighbors' homes.

Here`s one of the many pixelart processes:

1. start with linedrawing, use fewer lines

2. flat colors + 1 layer of shade

3. downscale the image

4. start "pixelarting" from this point
