i'm still looking for more commission work, so reach out if you need skulls, caverns, forests, clouds, castles, denizens of the deep, or other fantastic and/or macabre subjects illustrated in dramatic b&w for your project

Absolutely this. A writer that uses genAi por artwork, an artist that uses genai to answer emails, music artists that use genai for making a videoclip. I despise all of them. I don't think they don't understand how AI works, I think they believe their art is more valuable than the others. 🖕

The ice abolition conversation has to include the federal police too The police have historically murdered, bombed, and kidnapped Americans from their own neighbourhoods too No form of radicalized surveillance should exist in a non white supremest society

Just saw someone say "it feels like the whole country is slipping through my fingers" Stop. YOU are not personally responsible for the country. You are not Superman. You are a regular person in society. Don't try to hold up the world. Hold yourself up first, then your friends, then your neighbours

Family of 10 needs help. They are literally proceeding with violent occupation so any help you can give is much needed

We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse. This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares. Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

was super sick over new years but i lived bitch also check out my new tattoo love her so much 😭🖤

Decolonising the Dungeon Crawl--- Like everything else re: decolonisation and TTRPGs discourse, this is a solved problem. There's only metric that matters: How many creators from the colonised world are participating in and able to make a living from their games? That's *it*. 1/

One of my goals this year is to start getting royalties on my lesbian spy game, so if you want to mess with the French monarchy, kiss women, and win sword duels, pick up If It Please the Court while it’s on discount for a few more hours! store.steampowered.com/app/1385260/...

I am actually so god damn angry about this sexually suggestive label I took this because I wanted to bounce back from yesterday where some asshole sent me AI porn of myself, to reclaim my body and my agency And now Bluesky is going "uhhhh this is sexually suggestive, we're censoring it" I'm TIRED

"The challenge is enormous & [moral]: to unite without vengeance, but w/o impunity.... Bc freedom doesn't come with a new president: it comes when the state ceases to be a threat." This is re: Venezuela but also true for us & not just rn. For how many of us is the state an active threat every day?

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Im so so so sorry to be hounding for help over and over but this year is ending on a very rough note for me. Im short on bills, funds for transportation to doctor appt & a procedure next week, and grocery money. I know i keep asking for help. Im sorry, I really am. Things keep happening.

OMG 😭 Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure." LIFE SAVING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhEx...

My wife & I exchanged tarot readings for new years. I loved it, might make it a tradition.

When sapphics say "most lesbian rep feels fetishistic" they're not saying "lesbians banging is bad." They're saying "lesbians with specific bodies are only shown banging in specific ways with specific framing that is legible and accessible to straight men while exhausting to the rest of us."

Do you ever see a single comic book panel so beautiful it makes you fall in love with storytelling all over again? And makes you want to get even better at art? And you look at it and want to cry because it's so warm and tender? I love My Dear Lass.

Holy shit the reflection and shadows on the grouns here are amazing.

Hey remember this? It's real now, 3 years after painting. 😭

Seven Deadly sins - Greed

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

You solve homelessness with homes.

Various Asheville hotels have done this over the years (and still do). Often it's not a written policy, and can be frustratingly difficult to pin down, but we've seen these stories over the years with some frequency. The gentry (including plenty of biz owners) here really *hate* the poor.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons… To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

young people have always looked for a safe place to put their secrets that can’t judge their feelings! it’s why kids like to keep diaries. the difference is that a notebook will never actively encourage mental illness or explicitly validate suicidal ideation

Medieval peasant stereotype: Oh no, I haven't bathed in a year and do whatever the priest says. Actual medieval peasants: The abbot tried to take our land so we sacked the monastery in a carefully-planned attack. Our commune's dividing up the spoils. I bathed this morning in the village bathhouse.

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.
