finally did my nails again after like... 6 months of not having them done. i feel human again

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

my new archnemesis is insomnia. i hate it. i have to go to work. yes, i will be seeking help for it at my next doctor's appointment. i suspect it's a side effect of new-ish meds, cuz that's when it started. and i kinda really actually need to take them. (don't mind me, just unloading info the void)

activated bun ears give a +8 advantage (this idea is so freaking cute i drew it on the plane) #soapghost

The pro-censorship crowd is a limb of the greater monster that is fascism right now. And so they feed on the same thing: Your despair, your belief you can't push back. So push back! And if it feels like too much for your own, at least spread the word!

cannot emphasize enough that thinking that the pro-censorship side has already won is how the pro-censorship side wins

i hate what our country has become and is becoming... absolutely disgusting.

You gotta randomly tell ppl in your life you proud of them, how they’ve affected you. How happy you are for them. There is no right moment. Make it awkward. Make it random.

PSA: Please consider staying off the internet for the next couple of days, especially if you're sensitive to violence. Uncensored and fully graphic videos of what happened today are circulating EVERYWHERE without warning, so please practice caution and stay safe out there 🫶

@d3vil.bsky.social , cuz bsky won't let me DM it to you

when it's insomnia time, but you can't take sleep aids with the meds you're on breh. i'm so annoyed

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

Watto can I do for you today senpai

Crunchyroll started as a piracy website that would steal the work of fansub groups and lock it behind paywalls, which caused Fansub groups to literally encode messages during the "Brought to you in part by these sponsors" segments, warning viewers that if you paid for the subs, you got scammed

guess who gets to take blood pressure meds~ me. i'm the one.

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art. It's never just about pornographic films.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

This is was funnier in my head #cod #ghoap #codfanart

If you draw horny fanart of your favorite characters, I only have one thing to say to you: hell yeah.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

maybe... just maybe... i do my nails tomorrow. it's been like 6 months since i did them last 😅

*eats melatonin* take THAT, insomnia! you have no power here!

no matter how flattering you think it is, please don’t comment on a fic comparing it to another fic, it’s not the compliment you think it is. Just praise the fic you’re reading and move on 😌

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices. To which I say motherfucker did you never hear about Napster

You just gotta LOVE MAD MAGAZINE!!!

i just heard of someone promoting their OnlyFans on.... Facebook. there's so many better options. omg.

are these "gatekeepers" in the room with us right now? Are they perhaps wearing a shirt that looks just like yours? And mimicking all your physical movements? Do you think that you might, perhaps, be staring into a mirror?

Boundless is going under, it’ll cease trading by end of day. Archna has emailed Neem Tree Press authors about this but not Unbound ones :/ Authors, a couple staff members are working hard to get reversions, subcontracts, and files to us—if you need them email NOW before the lights go off

The most problematic ship? Censorship

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

NO SHIT, YOU STUPID FUCK

People say AI has no business model; but tbh I think part of the business model is getting people so hooked on it by the means of cooking their brains alive, that they then will pay any price to even function in everyday life. Rent your basic life skills.

discovered that our cat definitely knows the word "water" today

Better listen in I wouldn’t want to get on the bad side of these two #ghoap #codfanart #callofduty

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Can't trust people to 'eat the rich' cuz they'd go after starving artists and mid-income youtubers instead of the 1%

being an adult means that you can still have chicken and dumplings when it's low 90'sF outside

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces. AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse. This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

Finally finished with my soap/ghost piece!

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm
