[update] In Progress: #AO3 maintenance has begun! We expect to be down for about 20 hours, but we’ll keep you updated on any changes.

Good evening!! It's been a long day

Happy Hades 2 Day~! Hand kisses in the bath with Melinoe~

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Starting 24 hours from now, #AO3 will be down for about 20 hours.

Trying to make a distinction from "this is art the artist makes to deal with trauma" and "this is the artist's very clear fetish" puts the privacy of real life victims at risk. I shouldn't have to give you a laundry list of all my triggers and traumas for you to decide my art has the right to exist

me disculpo de antemano por la tonter1a

Los que cubrimos el genocidio de Ruanda no nos centramos en la definición legal de aquel suceso. Viendo las barbaridades que cometió el régimen sabías que aquello era inaceptable. Todos los líderes hutus que entrevisté terminaron en la cárcel. El momento de Israel también llegará

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.

@pepurika.bsky.social the greatest sequence of all time from tigers is being celebrated over on the hellsite lmao

you can spin literally any sexual image as noncon or dubcon if someone dislikes you enough and wants your account banned. that will only be used as another tool ppl can use for harassment, not keeping blsky a sexually safe space

Artists, be sure to always include the sex smirk and a thumbs up to imply enthusiastic consent.

I’m so tired of seeing people reply to stories about these tos censorships with “guess I’ll start pirating again.” Good luck pirating content that doesn’t exist because the artists and creators had to quit and find other work.

Whenever the topic of what's "allowed" in fiction comes up, you get folks like "why are you against that gross thing getting banned" and the ppl that have been in the trenches for years have to be patient and ask "do you think it will stop just with the thing you think is gross and reach no further"

This is an illustration drawn for the owner of those cute little finches! It's so amazing that their chirping sounds like a cat meowing owo✨ #illustration #digitalart #artwork #originalart #bird #birdart #pet #animalart #cute #commission

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

and really, I do not believe that everyone needs to "get weirder now," or that everyone needs to "make more nsfw," etc. what I do believe, however, is that everyone should look to those already making that work and sit in dialogue with them. support their work, substantiate their humanity.

how I feel trying to explain to normies why nsfw ban and censorship is bad and why they should care

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

I asked all my very fake super fictional and overall not real characters and they said they super duper consent to all the weird shit that happens to them.

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

🌟Production Updates!🌟

I hate them all with a passion.

on Saturday I'm going to be selling my work at the first ever National Pigeon Advocacy Conference! 🧡🕊 I'll be there with prints, tote bags and t-shirts (which I've never sold before until now). How amazing that such an event has been organised for these amazing birds 🐣

That people have just accepted paying $60-$70 for a digital license or pay for a subscription service instead of pushing to own games that are fully on the disc/cart.
