Portugal is bracing for a potentially terrifying storm.
Stay indoors, bolt down what you can, charge your electronics and get water, food for the next few days.
If there's an outage of any kind be wary of anyone making themselves pass for any kind of authorities or local services representatives - scammers have previously taken advantage of these situations.
Stay safe.

Portugal vai enfrentar uma tempestade potencialmente terrivel.
Fiquem em casa. Protejam o que for possível, carreguem carregadores e telemóveis. Preparem água e comida para os próximos dias.
Se houver algum tipo de falha de serviços, tenham cuidado com potenciais impostores que se tentem fazer passar por representantes de autoridades para tirar proveito da situação e dos mais fragilizados.
stay safe everyone 🙏😰 don't go out if you don't need to!!
If you are in Madeira, Portugal, or Spain — please read this very carefully.
It is Monday, November 9… and I’m starting to get increasingly concerned about what’s coming on November 11.
Over the past several days I’ve been watching a low pressure system far out in the Atlantic, but I really didn’t want to boldly claim it would be a significant threat to Portugal until I had a solid basis to do so.
This is because model guidance was really struggling to figure out what this storm would do as it crossed the Atlantic.
1. Would it stay weak and fizzle out before hitting Europe and Africa?
2. Would it take a more southerly track and affect the Canary Islands and Morocco?
3. Would it move a little further north and hit Madeira and Morocco more directly?
4. Lastly, would it rapidly intensify and curve north into Portugal?
Somehow, model guidance is trending more and more towards the worst case — and the impressive part is that the AI models were consistently showing this even when most other weather models had backed away.
This teaches me something. AI models may be much more useful than I originally thought for complicated low pressure systems like this. @LusoMeteo did a great job at pointing this out. I’ll definitely be checking these AI models a lot more from now on when analyzing model guidance.
What does this mean for us?
This storm is carrying rich subtropical moisture which will enhance the flood risk across Madeira, Portugal, Spain, and even the Canary Islands and Morocco.
Depending on how strong the low gets, there is a potentially serious threat of damaging wind on the southern end of the low pressure.
Moisture moving with this system will also influence the risk of torrential rain through southern France, northern and central Italy, and the Adriatic Sea through November 12.
In conclusion, I really didn’t want to be the boy who cried wolf with such an unstable forecast… but now there’s an overwhelming amount of signs pointing to this potentially major storm. Please use the remaining time to prepare, spread the word, and as always, be safe…

I see more and more young artists complaining about prices other artists are charging for things.
As an older guy now who’s been a professional artists for decades let me just weigh in.
First, the market and their audience decides prices, not other artists. When you whine about other artists you sound bitter. Not a good look.
Second, if you’re constantly complaining about high art prices you’re essentially a participant in cultivating a culture that monetarily devalues art. Good luck making a living yourself with art in the future in the world you’re creating.
Third, watch out for being a crab in the bucket. Always trying to pull down the ones above you trying to move up. If you know people like this in real life you know you hate being around them.
Lastly, the internet thrives on negativity not goodness. Try and use it for good.
this thread 👏
getting asked by people i dunno about manus and costs while i'm busy attending customers at cons... it's just rude. call it gatekeeping if you want, but i'll continue to share that info and even templates with just those who bothered to build a connection first
I’m glad that OP has never experienced a manu sharing situation gone poorly but it happens all the time!
I think the art community as a whole just needs to be okay with people not wanting to share because many artists have been burned by fellow artists😭

idk what's with my tl today with so many depressing tweets surrounding AI, but it made me think how often there's a bad take regarding artists at cons. as if everything made by someone real shouldn't be protected at this point, even some kid's drawing with crayons ngl

Hoyoverse is not only popular but it has one of the best fanmerch policies out there. It’s an extremely low risk!
If there’s a series you don’t see much of in artist alley it’s because they are likely aggressive with IP protections. Examples below ⬇️

this has been floating across my feed a few times and I wanted to give some insight into how pricing works here
I have not included anything like art labor, table fees, travel costs, or bulk discounting. This is ONLY accounting for cost of goods sold + transaction fees. (1/8)
