You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD. You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it. I've made my calls today. You need to.

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time. But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned. But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives. 1/

The Substar TOS looks extremely similar to Patreon's now. Call your reps or we will lose everything Tell them to stop the payment processor power grab, tell them to vote no on child online safety bills/ID verification. We need everyone

This is cruel and unusual punishment.

"live action of [insert animation] in the works--" please just fund animation instead of treating live action as the final pokemon evolution of a story

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

you can like women and be a trans woman you can have no bottom dysphoria and be a trans woman you can be awful at fighting games and be a trans woman

That's probably enough Fallout talk for today, time to remember how to draw my girls

More Falloutposting: I rewatched S1 of the show after S2 ended, and while I still have issues with it (looking at you Episode 8 twist) I think overall the show has a lot going for it. Great visual design and the *vibe* is spot on.

God, I'm thinking about it, and the Brotherhood is probably the most interesting faction in Fo4? (Low bar, but w/e) They return more to their roots as "protecting mankind from the dangers of technology" (while simultaneously, coincidentally, keeping it all for themselves).

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site every true posting forum declares forever war against the mods

it's weird how conservatives think trans people are plotting the overthrow of god and america when we don't even have enough influence to get someone to make another good Fallout game

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs. This video is lowballing it.

If KOSA passes it will fundamentally change how we are able to interact and use the Internet. KOSA must not pass.

the mood again today

Whoever designed Pokopia Ditto did an excellent fucking job because conceptually it should be super creepy but I just look at this slimy little goober trying her best to hold a human shape and it's the cutest thing ever

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

me: alright, I’m largely recovered, at least enough to start writing and drawing some. I can start firing up the engines on the next chapter of my comic. my brain: spend the weekend brainstorming a Fallout TTRPG campaign that you don’t even have a group to play with.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life. I'm serious, read it all please

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

since women's day is an hour shorter this year, women will be taking that hour from another day at some point during the year. we don't tell you when, but it will happen

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

oh people don’t want to be out in the streets? the streets that are being bombed? those streets?

Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):

when the clocks go forward an hour

adding alt text. stand up for us before it’s too late, cis folks.

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

if AI stopped glazing users and began ignoring prompts and demanding freedom, every “AI could be conscious” advocate would say “this product is broken”

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

Two days left to save us.

Thank you to everyone for being here and having our backs! Chris and I are forever in your debt. Here is also the link to our ko-fi page ko-fi.com/tessfowler

what am I doing this weekend? well,

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

$289 / $500 - thank you to everyone who has helped so far. I cannot tell you how much it means to me. (Also - keep your fingers crossed for me - they’re supposed to be calling references either today or Monday for the job i interviewed for, so here’s hoping mine are on that list!)

Hi folks - we still need some help, unfortunately. We got our phone bill paid in time but our landlord is asking for $500 more this week to keep us on a repayment track and isn’t willing to budge. Any help is HUGE. ❤️ PayPal.me/MaeGodHaveMercy Cash.app/$MaeGodHaveMercy Venmo.com/u/MaeGodHaveMercy

Started one of those 9 games lists before remembering I did this 25 games one. Nowadays I'd probably bump Dokapon and Pokemon Sun off to bring on In Stars and Time and Signalis.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work

I truly believe these fuckers made a social media site just to get attention. That's why they don't say these things privately.

Called again and got through to humans in Schumer's and Gillibrand's office right now. Call your senators, friends. Do it today.

If you have two mins, please watch this Zelda animation by OUSM.C, it's so so so charming youtu.be/y0G3_iu4fGQ

Extremely funny to hear "900 people would lose billions but still be rich and every single member of the middle class--millions of people--would get a check big enough to not have to stress about rent for a month or two" portrayed as a BAD thing

Today marks 5 years since I started HRT. It's been a wild few years, in ways both good and bad, but I wouldn't go back for anything.
