I hate how I thought of five different fandoms when reading this because this is like 90% of online fan communities

The cheat code for actually talking about videogames, Im being serious here, is to assume the people who made them were human beings and go from there.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Protecting children from exploitation isn’t censorship, it’s a responsibility. We should focus on creating a safe environment rather than promoting potential harm

Dear artists/writers/musicians Create something. Something that makes you happy, something that makes other people happy... Be it out of defiance, or just because you feel like it.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

It's going to be a long next few weeks. Remember to breathe. If you feel yourself doomscrolling, put that web browser/app away. Do something that physically engages you. Doesn't even need to be working out. Play a game, write draw. Your mental health is important. Don't neglect it.

"it's just a picture". Oh, like how Hitler was "just a person"?

we need more allies doing stuff like this instead of sharing screenshots of content by white supremacists

15 years ago we had lowtax, epic meal time, and million dollar extreme. now we have no tax, no time for meals, and a million dollars is no longer considered extreme

Three New Polls and a bunch of new art up on the patreon! For $5 you can vote on these, and see the sketches of all the new art, and for more you'll be able to see finished stuff earlier than everyone else! patreon.com/carbonatedjem Consider supporting me and Yves :)

Happy New Year, I don’t advertise this much, if at all, but I’ve been inspired to try and keep reaching out. Call this a yearly thing, if you’re interested contact me!

I present my yearly recap, I hope you like it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCFL...

For 2026 let's just be kind and communicate with each other. We are all adults. So many issues can be resolved with a conversation.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years. we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this?? between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

Bro, you are MASSIVELY selling yourself short there. You built, borderline hosted, a huge content community that changed dozens of creators lives for the better. You know how I know this; I can't thank you enough. The Chaos Theatre was the original Digital Circus, and you were Caine before Caine.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

I will never understand why they replaced community submitted subtitles for this nonsense Real human people were happy and willing to make subtitles in a variety of languages for free, and the creator had full control of what submissions were used And they GOT RID OF IT

One thing that you must understand about Bluesky is most of the time, you’re not gonna have random viral posts. Your traction is dependent on having a following. That’s why networking, socializing, and participating in trends is integral to growth It’s a platform you MUST work to succeed

I fucking love Kaiba lmao

Today marks the end of the SMG4 channel. I want to thank you all so much for this wonderful journey of 14 and a half years. It’s been a wild ride. 💙

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort. Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

I really hope that 2026 is the year we finally stop rewarding and celebrating negativity, doomerism, and hating things for clout. It's a choice to constantly spread this shit around, especially on Bluesky where there's no algorithm that promotes it.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

It's time for our yearly holiday tradition! Where we watch this whole embarrassment get his face punched in again and again.😈 Merry Christmas!

I actually get really frustrated that so much of my shows are attributed to ✨me✨ as if I make these shows by myself. It takes a village and both series are what the are due to the hard work of artists far more talented then me. Thank you everyone everywhere who bring Hazbin and Helluva to life! ❤️ily

Despite the festivities, the holiday season can be a tough time for a lot of people. When you get the chance, check up on your friends or anyone you know who could be lonely during this time & let them know how much they matter. The holidays are cold, but together we can help people stay warm❤️

Doubt Kills More Dreams Than Failure Ever will

If you want to survive bluesky coming from twitter you will have to accept that you will Not be doom scrolling or watching strangers be humiliated all day and you will be healthier for it. Just look at a couple dragon ball screenshots and log off, you haven't finished those drawings buddy

if people are really moving to bluesky this time please comment and spark interactions, even if just only your oomfs because when i returned to twitter last time it was because no one would talk to you and people would only just post their art also u should repost oomfs art to help them grow too

oh so turns out the extent of Expedition 33's genAI usage was briefly experimenting with tools back in 2022, not liking what it made, and forgetting to remove one of the textures they generated before the game shipped in which case, who gives a flying fuck lmao

Rounded up my best work this year 2025 was something of a mixed year for me artistically. I didn't get to do a lot of art for just myself, I ended up being very pigeonholed but I've also gotten to really broaden myself stylistically and make some of my best works yet Good to take to heart for 2026

This time of year is fucking hard. The holidays are a fertile ground for dark thoughts. Loneliness can drown you, even when you're surrounded by people. Take care of yourself. If you feel like you're drowning in darkness, please talk to someone. Friend, family, stranger. Anyone. You deserve love.

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

No one needs to rely on AI to draw. There's millions of tutorials FOR FREE right now on YouTube anyone wanting to learn can use. All that information is just sitting right there Just pick up a pencil and start drawing.

I love how every attempt by the government to scrub Trump from the Epstein files is guaranteed only to make people demand them louder. They still haven’t figured out that there isn’t people-just-forget-and-move-on state. They’re trying to run out the clock until Trump croaks.

Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.

I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Mega Man told people to pick up a pen that’s my fucking GOAT

🌪️If you’re feeling like 2025 was nothing but chaos, this is a useful corrective. 🥰Here is our yearly round up of 50 underreported stories of progress and good news! theprogressnetwork.org/good-news-wo...

Apparently, some people thought I was joking, and I don't even remotely regret to inform you all that this was 100% real.
