Making some progress and hope I will finish her in time for #Eurofurence 😬💦 we will see...

Portrait of Alto cause he's so prettyyyy~ Also working on taking less time with things, trying to be happier with less detail! #furry #furryart

this story is so fucking sad, and every new detail that comes out about how Meta's chatbot characters product was made is more disturbing than the last www.reuters.com/investigates...

It is World Lion Day, so here's nine of them. Art by @5suns.bsky.social of the main cast of writing in Astray.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

Care for a tune? Cel shading commission for @nicodilowe.bsky.social, thank you! #furryart

“Won’t someone *please* think of the soul-devouring colonialists!?”

My Bluesky feed is so chill that I literally don't even know what any current furry drama is anymore, which is a blessing & a curse cuz I miss telling my non furry friends the latest insane shit furries have done, its like telling them a madlib that actually literally happened

A lot of good things in here: free (no payments) NSFW content can go back up; there's a pathway laid down for some paid NSFW content to come back, and positive statements from Stripe that indicate pressure campaigns are working. All really positive. So happy to see.

My wife is in Vogue shitting on your AI-generated "art" 💜 www.vogue.com/article/matt...

GenAI creating a bespoke fictional reality that can be manipulated by the algorithm owners at will is a feature, not a bug. The LAST thing the tech oligarchs want is for genAI to be accurate. You can't manufacture consent that way.

so when a trans person sees a democrat who hopes to become the leader of the free world saying "republicans have reasonable concerns about trans athletes" we see it as a half endorsement of the entire trump project. we have to. we're in an existential battle.

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music. Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use. www.404media.co/spotify-uk-a...

How is it only fucking Tuesday?

Saying a piece of art "promotes or fetishizes sexual violence" is the exact rationale people used to harass me, a rape survivor, off of the internet and out of this field for years while calling me a "rape apologist." It will always be used as a cudgel against people making the "wrong" kind of art

Age verification has a bias that diminishes how cruel, bloody, and inhumane the world can be, and that's going to have real consequences www.404media.co/uk-users-nee...

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

A very small lobbying group has shut down the two biggest games stores in the world, under the false pretence of protecting kids. It was inevitable this would hit itch.io, and I do believe we’ll find a way around, but it’s incredibly saddening to see them have to do this.

Hmm... curious... 🎨: @dankoneversleeb.bsky.social , who TRULY has one of the finest styles i've seen 🙂‍↕️ aesthetic and detail both I am so NORMAL about all the details she put inside there, the textures of iridescent scales and frill, sharp claws!! Such quality ✨🤲 [ #fizzard #aquatic #anthro #sona ]

Happy Birthday to amazing artist and good friend of mine @alsares.bsky.social !

A UN connected research institute spun up some AI refugee avatars and then hosted a workshop with refugee aid partners. One attendant asked: "Why would we want to present refugees as AI creations when there are millions of refugees who can tell their stories as real human beings?"

Some employees at Unknown Worlds were told they were eligible for bonus payouts ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to seven figures if they hit their revenue target. They believed Subnautica 2 was on track for release this year. Now, with the delay to 2026, the target seems unattainable

♥️ What if we were Manta Rays in love? ♥️

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward. I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

the problem with proving that trans kids end up committing suicide is that dead trans kids aren't around to fill out the surveys you would typically use to measure such data.

this is why i've always struggled with DTRPG as a platform, and why i dont think my career couldve taken off without itchio. this really exposes the mealy-mouthed conclusion of an """apolitical""" stance

Lagi soon...

AI is part of the fascist project to make us all stupider and more impoverished and dependent on the tech overlords, pass it on

very well-expressed thread 👇

I am going through my old files looking for something and finding some old art I like along the way.

The day before they ruled that banning trans children's healthcare isn't discrimination Wake up. They are trying to wipe trans people out. Stop calling people hyperbolic and fucking look at it

I feel like Schumer throwing trans people under the bus by suggesting their rights are a “distraction” really needs to be seen especially since even that dipshit had the good sense to at least delete it:

My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.

The evil opinion pieces published in these outlets are IMMEDIATELY used as ammunition by the worst people in the legal system. Continuing to give them a platform for their hate blatantly trades trans folks’ lives for clicks

Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...
