Me, waiting several years for a comm I still haven't gotten: 👍 Me, when it's been two weeks and a client asks for an update: "If I don't get this commission done tonight, I'm a fraud of an artist and should die."

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

if it isn't clear, I'm with the 18+ artists. don't think because the majority of my art is market friendly that it means I am. fuck censorship, fuck fascism, fuck puritanism. people should have the choice to decide what they want to see, not have the choice made for them.

Heads up ya'll! with Bluesky rolling out moderation crack down in their new update, please consider enabling "adult content" under your moderation tab in settings. Not so you can have porn on your feed, but to ensure that you can still see posts with the word "stupid" and "hell" in it-

Once again, sex workers and porn artista were among the first early adopters of bsky. They built the platform up and brought their audiences with them. Now that they have enough mainstream appeal, they want to exile the very people who made their site worth being on. A tale as old as time.

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Like, what's under there? Is it a risque pinup drawing, which I'm fine with seeing? Is it a giant ejaculating wiener, which I don't want to see? Surprise! It's neither! It's a regular text post complaining about this change being really poorly implemented! :(

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

Staff being able to apply an adult content label to an entire acct overrides the label function and is not a good thing. Do you know how many newcomers don't know that their default moderation settings hide us from view completely and they just assume we don't exist? This is shoving us out of sight

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

Someone nab Mug before I do

You're gonna see some prolific VA talent get in bed with AI in the coming months/years while their less prolific community members lose opportunities across the board due to it. Some of them don't care. Some of them are too focused on the bag and the attention to do so.

When you close to me~ O w O

you know i like my chicken fried

dude....this shit is getting sad. fuck AI. seriously.

I THINK the reason I've been so burnt out doing commissions, other than the obvious and the state of the world, is that I just don't like my style right now. Everything feels so stale and I'm trying to figure out the secret ingredient to make it all 'pop' again in my eyes.

nine hundred ninety nine MILLION nine hundred ninety nine THOUSAND nine hundred and ninety nine dollars plus one is ONE FOURTEENTH of what hoyo is spending on ai. imagine having one million. nah imagine even having one hundred thousand dollars. and just spending it all on ways to not pay artists.

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

wake up babe the white house is a six flags

Gotta go back to the vet for my snake's check-up tomorrow, dropping the price of her to $150. Can DM me on here, Discord, or Furaffinity.

It’s really frightening.

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

Only human made art over here. 💚 #watercolor

In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV called for artificial intelligence “to be disarmed,” a word choice he called “strong” but “deliberately chosen.” “This moment needs words capable of attracting attention,” Leo said.

People can discourse about this till their fingers bleed but what it will always come down to is misogyny. If you respect women, no amount of porn will change that.

Ah, I see we are starting the day off with porn discourse. Well fine, here's my two cents Porn has never been the issue, our society being deeply racist and misogynistic is the problem. Banning porn isnt going to eliminate bigotry

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

Re-debuting soon! Come toss a follow and say hello

one of my biggest frustrations—and I can’t be the only one—is that I am a moron and, yet, everyone richer is dumber. every five years, I have to live through a cycle of everyone with power and money investing in something that is an obvious scam and then we all just wait for it to collapse.

Reminder they're using these bombs to wipe out wildlife to make room for more data centers. PLEASE speak up and contact your reps as well as the link below. We can't let this to happen.

A thank you note/love letter/commentary on art for anyone interested

the pissants reading this as "you can't critique my work" are gonna hear how they're illiterate, and they are, but lemme put my whole dick on the table and say yeah u right if you want to critique, write a review, go bitch on reddit, be the biggest hater you wanna be in your own house. not in mine.

If you are suspicious just ASK! Most artists have no issues sharing their process. It's not the fucking Krabby Patty secret formula!

You have to support the projects you love with money. I am sorry we do not live in a world where that is not the truth.

My artistic preference

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Kickstarter has reverted their policy changes on Adult Content! They issued an apology, siting Stripe as the reason. The pressure we put on them worked. This is a step in the right direction. But the threat of Stripe remains. It’d be great to see KS end ties with them & process payments elsewhere.

Open for $100 experimental commissions! Gimme some fresh kinks to work with! www.furaffinity.net/journal/1136...
