Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

please understand. artists don't get nearly as much feedback (praise, comments or otherwise) as you think they do. much less than years and years ago. we don't know how much you like it. we don't know how it affected you. unless you say something, or recommend it, comment, reblog. anything.

Rule 1 of not being an asshole when you belong to the privileged majority. When someone... a woman, black person, asian, transfem, transmasc, whoever... tries to explain their lived experience... 1: Listen. 2: Believe them. I don't know why this is so hard for people.

as someone who worked on bg3, I fully agree - it's so utterly hypocritical how these platforms treat sex and eroticism - they want to make bank off big releases (and payment processors conveniently look the other way when this happens!) but strangle entire swathes of content from indies

People will be reposting shit like "DEFEND ALL PORN! CENSORSHIP IS FASCISM!" like they're part of the team and then you look at their page and this is their pinned post 😭😭😭 Bro you are NOT on the team you are on the side of the oppressors

Wow, nothing like getting followed by an actually published author to stoke the 'ol imposter syndrome.

Lol at this obvious bot in my replies re: the Unripe gift art. I didn't describe any techniques! I'm not even the one who made it!

The destruction of internet environments wasn't fully natural, because while there are natural boom and bust cycles in capitalism, in the past several years we've actually been able to witness targeted destruction of vibrant social media platforms by the highest ranking state and corporate actors.

Time to tap the sign again. Freedom of Smut is Freedom of Speech. Without one, we do not have the other. In addition to all the below actions, you can voice your displeasure to Kickstarter specifically for their censorious content guidelines here: help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/req...

Art is a form of speech, it's communication from one to all, it's a way of entering into the dialogue of all of society, and so all art is informed by all the art before it just as your speech and what you know is made up of what's come before you. Even shit you think is bad. Maybe especially that

I feel bad that I don't actually do more than just post about the Issues. All the energy I once had for activism has been burned out of me at this point. Also I literally cannot make a phone call or leave my house without a panic attack. 😔

not enough people in this world talking about the bug collecting girl in Zelda tp

Good to know another avenue is closed to me preemptively if I ever get my shit together and figure out how to monetize.

listen, as a largely safe-for-work creator who mostly does comics for teenagers: people drawing sex is awesome. people getting to look at or read about sex is fantastic. we should do more of that! hot take: we should probably even do it in a teen-friendly way. bc you know they are DOING it, right

I like Bsky a lot, but it seems undeniable that the ownership/staff hate who their users are, and particularly hate the fact that trans people are such an avid userbase. In addition to being despicable, that's also concerning as someone whose living currently depends on trans Bsky.

dislike the internet (and society writ large) sliding into harder distinctions between “artistic” nudity and ones that are not. the discretion is from companies, not artists. deeply frustrating.

I went back through my own feed to bookmark this cause it feels like its gonna be an evergreen I have to repost periodically.

Thought this over long and hard and decided new outfits still fall under "any visual is better than no visual", so the image is added to the previous chapter now. Apologies to readers who dislike AI art in any context.

vent drawing before my shift

*Sigh* The thing i dislike the most about these new rules for KS, is the way the wording frames creativity and narrative, as a mutually exclusive thing to erotic or explicit content... Bear needs to be mandatory studying in highschools internationally to try and keep this puritanism at bay..

i still need help to survive,, please repost as well to help boost,, also CA/venmo is preferred as kofi takes a fee, or paypal is puppiebeans (under deadname, pls ignore)... as always, money goes to food, meds, necessities, etc... thank you ;; anything helps as this is my only source of $$,, imsorry

They're not going to stop with trans. They've realized that they can get away with just about anything if they claim to be protecting "the children." If they roll back gay marriage, they won't stop there either. There is no fucking accommodating these people, they must be defeated & marginalized.

I've previously mentioned my policy for AI-gen gift art is to only put it in the work if it looks good and there's no hand-drawn visual of the character available. Now I'm not sure what to do if there's an existing picture of the character, but not in the same outfit. 🤔

upsets me that a few of my friends in their early 30s worry about the possible discourse of dating 19-21yos every single time im like,, girlie,, u love them, they love u - be happy,,,they want to be with you,,,, the only thing that matters in a relationship is consent and respect 🤍

I'm probably not going to make a habit of checking Clearsky but I'm proud to say I made the Woke Lolicons blocklist

I guess I should crawl out of bed and translate the next Unripe chapter. Not that I can't technically do it on my phone but copypasting text into AO3's UI becomes about a hundred times more annoying.

*turns my English major into attack position* all works of art, even art you absolutely love, is deeply flawed through an innumerable number of lenses and you must interrogate the belief that engaging with flawed art is a negative reflection upon the self

Hi there! Wanna play a game?

Lately, the area in front of Shinjuku Station's Southeast Gate has started to turn into a semi-permanent protest site against war, racism, Trump, Takaichi, and Netanyahu.
