Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

IS THAT A WEED? I'M CALLING THE POLICE.

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

You guys wanna see a dead body?

I got a very moving Ask about avoiding defeatism on the forbidden website, and I wanted to share it because it's something I believe very strongly

Lucas showing off a nice uppercut! His opponents better not underestimate him!

There's no polite way to be a bigot period

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi

Quietly want to say something about how the online grind creates a weird expectation that every drawing must meet a professional standard of finish, which robs us of the ocassional joy of just drawing a thing for the heck of it and sharing the joy. Of course that leads to burnout.

Hey guys, I’m putting this up here. If you can’t help directly, please spread it as far as you can. Please please please help. I started this fundraiser, Save Edemame: Urgent Medical Help, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it. gofund.me/8a8ca24f5

We truly live in the strangest timeline.

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

Me: Happy Halloween, safe travels. Trick-or-Treater 1: You too. Trick-or-Treater 2: Bruh he's not going anywhere! Trick-or-Treater 1: Girl I know that, I mean the NEXT TIME he has to go somewhere! Kids these days are alright.

Normalize this reaction #art #artists

I propose November 1st as resurgence day. Halloween ends, and we all pick up the phones again. MasterCard and Visa, bare minimum, once per day. Every day. All of us. They are only hiring the usual number of holiday workers, this would frighten credit card companies. “It’s not going away”

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent. It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

"vocal distaste for the artificial" is definitely a strong phrase for this, i like it very much

I really fear that we've lost all our momentum. Feels like I haven't seen any posts about this issue in a while, and it's STILL not resolved. Payment processors have been praying we'll stop calling and finally fall in line. Don't let the issue die. PLEASE keep calling!

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

If you are in Ontario please be aware of this. Please sign this. Please keep an eye on this This is so so so awful. Rent is already crazy unaffordable WITH controls, and we've already lost a bunch of them

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

A statement. Please read.

I love all my queer friends so much. They're just absolutely wonderful people all of them, they make me feel truly honored to know them and i really want them to have nothing but the best in life

"Just use a VPN" Yeah well, they're coming for that too, now--

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA! We need to turn out in numbers against this! ⬇️

When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE. It’s time to cancel your account.

Yall, just use invoices and label them as digital services, that is all you need for taxes and its HOW you are supposed to do business. Stop using friends and family and letting people send money to you. Half the time people are just breaking ToS straight up and that's why they get banned

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

I'm about to order Legends: Z-A and if it's as much of a disappointment as Fashion Dreamer ended up being I'm going to shit myself.

"Seth, why do you ONLY use Heal Balls?" "Because they're pink~!" "Fair enough. I guess I should start only using Timer Balls so we're both colour-coordinated." Seth (left) is my OC, Tadashi (right) belongs to @jonas-hsb.bsky.social!

LRT: Y'all have no idea how much this means to artists - it's ok if you can't afford to support me or other artists, but boosting our work, leaving nice comments, etc goes such a long way

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

CANADIANS!! The official petition started by a member of Parliament to fight back against payment processors' censorship of legal content is only open for a few more days. Make sure you've signed it: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
