The 2025 experience

It's a good idea at this point to keep as many eyes as possible watching their livestream to make sure the genocidal regime knows the world cares what happens to them. Put it on in the background if you are busy doing something else

“I have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. “Story and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.” Get their ass, Werner.

When we say that many Americans have a 6th grade reading level this is what that means. At a 6th grade level you can read most texts and absorb their surface level meaning, but it’s not until an 8th grade level where you grasp things like subtext, metaphor, and ulterior motives.

this book is good af and you should give it a shot

forcing myself to stop paying attention to social media/the news for awhile and go read my new library book goddamnit

No, people aren’t whining about the kids not being horny enough. That’s a malicious misrepresentation and you know it. People are whining about the kids echoing socially conservative and toxic views on depictions of sexuality in media, because the ability to publicly discuss sexuality is crucial.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

One reason why I came to bsky from Instagram was that I was tired of only posting sfw drawings and if I didn't, I'd get shadowbanned or worse... Here we have a nice thing called "labels", so every time I click on "show" I consent to viewing nsfw. Why additional censorship? #BskyCensorship

"you don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't do drugs, how do you cope with life?" me:

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

okay really enjoying Alien: Earth actually

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

playing a game with myself where I keep my phone away from me so I don't waste all my fucking time doomscrolling when I should be doing anything else wish me luck

I have *never* used ChatGPT. Not once. I’m not saying I’m better than you… oh fuck it, I’m better than you.

covid vaccine hitting me HARD right now

turns out if you take the time to practice your drawing you'll feel better about it and then some of the malaise will lift about how you regard your art isn't that wild. no this is not a callout post for myself why do you ask

ABOUT TIIIIIME

Dan Gilroy has won the Emmy for Best Writing for a Drama Series for the ANDOR episode “Welcome to the Rebellion” 🏆

The one time we got the smoking gun of undeniable ideology that mapped neatly onto american partisanship in political violence was J6, and we decided it was too scary to treat it as such, so now we return to deciphering memes of school shooters like medieval peasants panicking at an eclipse.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

lrp AI is being used exploit and disenfranchise the most vulnerable of society; do not fall for their line that using it is empowering when they turn their marketing gaze on you.

Keep an eye out! As AI winds down while VC money runs out, they're going to continue following the same failed playbook Web3 used. They'll redirect the focus from big money (companies, entrepreneurs) to marginalized communities. Prepare to see AI re-spun as a tool to empower women/POC/LGBT.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

typically i prefer to save a spider from my apt and put them outside but if i see a silverfish in my sink its on sight

if you see this, repost with a vampire that’s not dracula

With emphasis, there is no difference in the conservative mind between porn and "icky porn". Queer existence itself is porn to them. Band together and say no to censorship, wholesale. You will not get a pass for being one of the "good" queers. IN THE CONSERVATIVE MIND, THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

listen we as a fandom are so fucking blessed to have a wealth of folks who want to run fandom events, if you're someone who has or is running events you're the best and i hope you know that your work is cool and wonderful and appreciated

happy labor day

listen, villainous protagonists have existed forever. trying to pin our current world state on shows like The Sopranos and Mad Men is not only silly, but deeply reactionary pearl-clutching.

I know you're tired of hearing it I am tired of saying it But please, if you care AT ALL about queer or adult content, make the calls. Keep the pressure up

The main and I think only real value of Newsom right now is that he's governor of the largest state in the USA, an overwhelmingly Democratic one at that. So his countermove to the Texas gerrymander is 100% good, including all the rhetoric he's used around it. The AI meme stuff? Kinda jerking off.

I think all animation workers affected by this years-long job drought should be compensated with a million dollars and a 90% discount on their rent

i have been made a victim of bad hotel room allotment on this family vacation

"I think it's good that Gavin Newsom is aggressively criticizing and trolling Trump" ≠ "I am endorsing Gavin Newsom's presidential bid"

The "using AI to generate concept art early in the process to quickly iterate ideas" thing is so absurd to me because like. You don't know what concept art is. You don't know what concept art *does*.

anyone saying fanfic leads to fascism is a useful idiot for actual fascists, lbr

Heartbroken to hear James Dobson has died age 89. It should have been a lot sooner

"we gotta protect the kids on the internet!!" hate to break it to u, but it is actually the Parent's job to control what their child sees on the internet, not mine. also also, i 100% do absolutely believe kids should learn to be uncomfortable by stuff more. thats how you learn tolerance.

"to get anywhere as an artist you need to make instagram reels" "you need to draw memes" "you need to go to conventions" wrong wrong wrong you just need to be insane
