Hi Mastodon! I'm trying to rebuild my business here because Twitter is bad now, but I need help sharing it. I'm a jeweler! I specialize in fused glass and particularly Pride designs. My work is available at https://www.nora.jewelry/
So, Twitter :twitter: decided to pull a DeviantArt move and change its Terms Of Services to include anything you post there on their AI dataset, to re-publish your art and benefit from it without your consent or compensation.
:twitter: TIME TO DELETE YOUR ART PORTFOLIO ON TWITTER :twitter:
I will only leave my contact information there, nothing else.
Hey Mastodon! I'm Nora, I run a jewelry shop, and I used to rely on Twitter to find customers. I could really use your help sharing this post so I can find them here. Thanks!
Feedback is extremely welcome. This is a loving document, it can only be honed and get better with loving input from other users. What are your best tips for #creators?
hey, we just got hit with a huge sudden expense. i don't want to get into details but it'd really help me out if you shared the shop. HOLIDAY23 will still get you 10% off. https://www.nora.jewelry/

Artists work REALLY hard for years and years to hone their skill, and many rely on online sales and communities to help them pay their way in the world.
If you find a piece of art online and want to share it, please do the leg work to identify the original artist. Google Reverse image search is pretty good at getting you close.
If you don’t know the artist because searches are coming up blank, be sure to SAY (so you don’t become credited for someone else’s work).
There are waaaay too many people on this platform sharing with no effort being made to properly give credit and exposure to the people who made the thing you’re sharing.
Finally, tip the artist! Your enjoyment of their art will no doubt give them warm fuzzies, but it won’t pay the rent…
Also, I’m NOT a visual artist, but I AM a content creator, former professional musician, fursuit performer, and VO artist.
I would be DEVASTATED if y’all treated me like some of you treat visual artists.
With love from me to you - Inspired by a heart-shaped sunflower I spotted in a sunflower field, I painted this small floral still life using watercolors in bright tones of yellow, orange, red, green, teal, blue, pink and purple.
