Deviation Actions
In a bizarre move, DeviantArt CEO and founder, Angelo Sotira, today fired himself.
DeviantArt, founded in 2000 by Sotira, has been a popular go-to for attention-whore artists looking to exhibit their often lacklustre crayon scribbles of Sonic the Hedgehog and Naruto x Sasuke love pairings in an online format.
When reached for comment, Sotira appeared confused, labouring under the false conception we were the frozen yoghurt delivery men. When asked about his letting himself go, he replied, "What I do with my froghurt is my own affair!" We did, eventually, manage to steer the conversation away from frozen yoghurt and onto his company, asking how he felt about its future, now that he'd fired himself. "Oh! Yes! A lot better, now, thank you!" Words of wisdom from a great man.
Coworkers of Sotira explained to us he hadn't been feeling well, lately, and had taken to plastering his computer monitor with papier mache made from pink slips, crazy glue and dog hair. "At first, we thought it was just another art project", an anonymous source said. "He does strange things. That's just how he is. He calls them his artistic projects. He's always on about artistic integrity. But it's never been as bad as this. It's a worry. What are we supposed to do? This company needs its CEO!"
What future DeviantArt has is unknown, and while it remains popular, even loved, these events cast doubt on it continuing prosperity.
At least we'll always have froghurt.

Thoughts from a few months ago
We are all now faced with what history will perhaps remember as the greatest struggle of our time. Not only have we faced political turmoils, the shadow of war, climate change and economic hardships, circumstance has now seen fit to issue us a new challenge, that of pandemic. In the actions we take today, we speak to our children, to our future leaders and to the keepers of the collective, accumulated wisdom of human kind. We will tell them how we faltered and of the mistakes we made. That we behaved as our lesser selves. That we succumbed to fear, selfishness and despair. We followed those who, through ignorance, greed, or desperation would lead us to false hope and ruin. But we will also tell them this: That, in the end, we did not surrender. That we, as a species, rose to the challenges of fate and bent it to our will in the name of survival and prevailed. Such a victory never comes without cost and we will always remember those lost who remain close to our hearts, nor those

Dear DeviantArt. As disturbed and violated as I feel about about interest tracking, it's also kind of hilarious and sad when it gets it wrong. For example, as much as I can appreciate the occasional feminine aesthetic in art, as a gay man, there's very little about the overwhelming avalanche of vulva that I find especially appealing. You know what, though...I can deal. If other people have to put up with guys' bits flapping around, I can put up with this. I can avoid the page easily enough, at any rate. This isn't a suggestion to refine the algorithm so much as me taking the opportunity to tell a funny story. I had a conversation about dAmn/The real Chat yesterday with @missblissx. I feel as though I was a very poor advocate for it and that I probably got a lot of things completely arse-backward about the whole thing and explained my thoughts quite poorly. I've been frustratedly ticcing "POST!" whenever I think about it, so, you know...watch this space.

Poked my head into the new realtime notes feature. Dishonour on your cow.
Doctor school
"Doctor, this man's heart isn't working. What do we do?"
"Inject him with explosives!"
"Doctor, this man can't breathe properly. What do we do?"
"Give him the explosion gas!"
"Doctor, this man has cancer. What do we do?"
"Thermonuclear explosives!"
Medicine is weird.
