This brief thread by an excellent artist is beautiful in its poetry, and makes a delightful point. Also go follow Flairi, she's awesome.

Vampire Bat~ 🦇 New character design! Felt like creating a more elegant lady this time around. She will be going up for adoption over on my ~ discord server ~ tomorrow (Tuesday) February 10th at roughly 3PM CET! [ #oc #adopt #ttrpg #rpg ]

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

Hi @seanferrick.bsky.social, do you think you could share this artist and her work to the wider Trek community? She deserves the recognition :)

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work! I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...

#FaveLineFriday a little something from last night's writing session that I'm very happy with! #WritingCommunity

Don't get me started on the infantilization of serious topics via placeholder words. Fucking. "PDF File" instead of pedophile, shut the hell up. You need to be able to talk about these things in an adult manner, and that means using the proper terms. Take it seriously.

Another experiment using digital watercolours! This time I wanted to create a sea nymph because I thought it would match the style 🌊 #art #fantasyart #elfenjoyers

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary. We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff. Skill issue.

Fuck Harry Potter Go watch Transformers!

Be careful, repeatedly sharing this picture could damage Wes Streeting’s chances of becoming PM. And we wouldn’t want that to happen would we…?

Once again: if these LLMs could actually do all the things their owners claim, they wouldn’t be selling access. They would be building and selling all the things they claim their software can do.

According to a 2026 study conducted by me, it turns out that racists are the dumbest, most unfuckable people on Earth. Submitting this for peer review, please leave your findings in the comments.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Almost 300 people that I follow, still follows Neil Gaiman. Why the fuck would you still be following that piece of shit?

Bargain twofer Book of the Month! Including one of my novels :) #blacklibrary #w40k www.blacklibrary.com/all-products...

im not concerned about misinformation about jk rowling considering she has spent the past 10 years sitting alone in her mold filled mansion spreading misinformation about trans people. idgaf. she is a massive pedophile and went to pedophile island with her best buddy jeffrey epstein

A repost for the later crowd.

Okay, here we go! Battle! Action Force! A special picture at @bighatdino.bsky.social's request, it's the Palitoys Action Force Z-Force versus the eeeeevil Red Shadows! I'll pop some close-ups in the replies. #ActionForce #RedShadows #Palitoys #RoboSkull #ZForce #Natphoenix25

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein. There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

An update: she supposedly just had her yacht's port logs fully whiped from the internet (History of where the boat went for it's entire life) and the transmitter is completely off with the logs previously showing she went to every island AROUND Epstein's Oh she's GUILTY guilty.

Since Konflict '47 is doing the rounds again, reminder that this is 'El Supremo' (his own words) at Warlord Games.

When you say, "I use ChatGPT only for my story ideas, it's NUANCED," what I hear is, "I'm a grifter looking to slide slop in without telling my readers." If you use the slop machine, you are not a writer or artist. You are a slopagandist colluding in mass theft from real artists.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

Thread up, and especially this part. No one in a creative field should be using gAI in *ANY* way. You don't get to sell out other creatives just b/c it's not "your" field. No gAI writing, art, narration, music, etc. Just. Don't.

Fuck off John everyone knows Harry Potter isn't some important work of fiction, it sells, you want a check, you couldn't care less about the rest.

A.I. is the tool of fascist. #FuckAI & #FuckICE

FUCK ICE

Rowling is *literally* an executive producer and provided feedback on the first two scripts (at minimum). She stands to profit directly from the series, so this quote is total bullshit and anyone who considers themselves an ally would know better than to touch the HP series with a ten foot pole.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathes* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

I need to rant. It is SO isolating when everyone else is playing the "Hit Videogame™" that's STILL supporting / actively uses AI, or other shitty practices. I'm a, "will not wane from my beliefs / standards" fella, and refuse to go back to them / start them up... But not everyone else follows...

(Deep breath) ☺️ Hi. I'm Shakyra Dunn. Black nonbinary voice actor. I've had the great honor of voicing MANY Black characters across many forms of media. I'm proud of my heritage. Proud of my efforts. Proud to still be here using my voice. Always will be. Nothing can stop it.

⚠️TO EVERY ARTIST HERE ON BLUESKY, WATCH OUT!!⚠️ Don't believe that qAI account, DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINK if you got mentioned by them!! Stay safe y'all🙏💖💖 #moot #artmoot #artistonbluesky #artsky

Openly supports and funds anti trans campaigns ✅ Quotes Hitler ✅ And now Linked to fucking Epstein ✅ Dear Potter fans have you reached the line yet or are you still clinging to the fucking wizard books?

in 2018!!!! can we please stop giving her plausible deniability for being one of the most disgusting humans alive

Any time she brings up womens safety this needs to be thrown in her face.

Noticeable absence of asylum seekers, trans people and drag queens listed as child rapists in the files. Pretty much all very rich, very powerful and very white men. Almost as if that’s who the problem has always fucking been, isn’t it?

So we know there are images of death, physical abuse, and injury in the #EpsteinFiles. Got it.
