Are there any Netherlands-based artists here who can talk about doing commissions and how taxes work with that? Asking for someone who'll be watching the replies to this thread :) Thank you!

The ninth annual international Gender Census 2022 is now open until 13th August 2022!

https://survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Please boost for reach. So, anyone that is working on FOSS projects like web apps, sites, Linux apps, desktop environments, or other user interfaces, please let me know if you want them tested for accessibility. I can do both CLI, web, and GUI testing, and app testing on Android. I'm running Debian (on a ChromeBook but that's not too important), so just give me the name of the package, or the URL of the site or app. I can also do Flatpak!

In case you didn't know, I maintain a list of space opera novels by cisgender women, non-binary, and trans authors!

There are hundreds of books to read, and the list is not complete (use the form to suggest missing works)!

Share the resource :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iquc1jI4wIQbm9W9K4g6I_NqkA2cVx9MMx7CrED8BfY/edit#gid=2144433176

The house martin chicks in my bedroom wall are having me think, once again, about multi-species habitation, and how there are common cases of like badgers, rabbits, and rats sharing the same burrows, and many animals living in the same trees, and how even humans fill our houses with animals as roommates.

No particular point to make, just idle thoughts about how neat it is.

Hello once again to musicians and music lovers of the fediverse!

Unfortunately, I've been fired from my job today, so I have nothing to fall back on. It becomes more important to get commissions and YCHs filled! Please boost if you can, it means the world to me.

Price for the fully rendered piece would be ~ $300, depending on character complexity. Also open to real media, price would vary. Example of completed rendering: https://furaffinity.net/view/45114343/
