PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

the what discourse? sorry i use social media to keep up with friends and look at naked anime women i have no time for stupid discussions

Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life I love you all I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness

fic promo posts are on the 99th percentile of sucess if they get 50+ likes and maybe a dozen reposts but people will get a hit tweet on screenshots and snippets of fics and then not even share a link + title/author. y'all wouldn't treat fanart with this kind of disrespect lol

Check this dude out

I cannot stress it enough, but if you pledge even to the smallest tier of artists' Patreon/Ko-Fi/whatever subscription service they are using, you are already doing a lot. If you are regularly sharing art with others, reposting or sending links their way, you are already showing support and care.

the crew behind VLC are legit heroes. they've been offered millions (tens of millions?) to sell VLC or incorporate advertising and every time they've said, nah, we like that our video player is free software for everyone on the planet

I enjoy drawing kinks I'm not necessarily into for the same reason I like drawing bodies that look different than mine and enjoy reading stories nothing like mine. It's edifying to engage with others people's reality with enthusiastic curiosity.

"Help me test my game" scams have been around forever, but this one having a trailer video makes it more sophisticated and believable. Pleeeeease be careful, everyone!

this is a good take well done filler episodes can really develop character dynamics and get you deeply attached to the cast - I feel like a lot of "comfort watch" shows come out of that, where you just end up happy to spend more time with your favorite characters

Just a semi-annual reminder that the reason I closed my RedBubble was they allowed my storefront art to be scraped by LAION & ignored every email I sent to them about it. Since LAION says “we use links to images, not images themselves”, I nuked my store. If you have RB, you have been scraped by AI.

Any bank that allows freedom of expression, any processor that challenges the monopoly will have the world at their feet because I'm so fucking tired of this

okay but when is this gonna stop happening IM SO TIRED OF HAVING 100000000 VERSIONS OF THE EXACT SAME PANTS BUT THE GIRLS GET 1000000 DIFFERENT SHORTS/STOCKINGS THAT ARE THE CUTEST SHIT YOUVE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE ┌(｡°з ┐ )┘三└( ┌ ε°｡)┐┘

Word just got out that Kenji Ohba, known for his various roles throughout Toku, Battle Kenya, Denji Blue, and Gavan, has passed on May 6th of this year. I'm posting this video to honor his memory. Rest In Peace to a legend.

The word 'Legend' is thrown around way too much, but it would be an appropriate way to describe Kenji Ohba. He was a titan of the Henshin Hero genre and Tokusatsu as a medium. May he rest in eternal peace.

Kenji Ohba, one of the pinnacle tokusatsu actors has sadly passed away on May 6th. Started out as a suit actor, got to become Super Sentai heroes, his own title hero, and the rest being his ongoing presence we could never escape from. He is a major legacy for toku and will never be forgotten.

I am fairly certain at this point 80% of the art industry is supported by people who pay for cartoon gay sex

My legal team is now working on copyright cases against SHEIN. They were the first place that counterfeits of my work started showing up and I am glad to be able to finally go after them. If you have had your art ripped, please contact Justice for Artists. They won a huge case for me last year.

Hey. It's ok. Like Kamen Rider Black Sun said,

Just a reminder that Blambot's Indie License allows small press comic creators to use Blambot's indie fonts (those marked with a $0 option) for free even if you make money with your comic or merch directly related to your comic. More info: blambot.com/pages/licenses

lol they're literally installing this shit like supply chain malicious bloatware it's like the fucking search bars that would keep installing themselves and placing themselves under your browser address bar but automatically served by Google on purpose

To be quite honest with you guys... every time I see the Hibiki suit, I get the intense urge to pick him up by the drumsticks, like so. #art #digital #toku #kr #hibiki

i maintain that there is no topic that is off limits to kids because kids live in the world and all of them will experience any number of topics (or see someone else experiencing them) and our job is simply to find age-appropriate ways to talk with them and guide them through all of these things

The entirety of the Living Memory storyline in Dawntrail is an incredible commentary on the fear of death leading to monstrous acts of digital necromancy, which is pretty pertinent in this era of technological garbage shilling

Every transfem needs to know this. Quit nicotine. It's worse for us than usual because it interferes with estrogen receptors! This can delay breast growth and other physical changes, and cause chronic fatigue because you don't have enough functional hormones.

A friend linked me this; I haven't seen it here, so I figured I'd share it. It's pretty sneaky! www.tedcromwell.com/blog/that-pe...

hello, NSFW artists. while using pay/pal you may have seen this prompt. this is the devil speaking to you. do not listen. do not ever keep a goddamn dime in your account. transfer that shit out immediately ASAP. if they find out you do comms, let alone NSFW comms, they will take all of it. fuck them

With AI generated content in Arc Raiders and Neverness to Everness, we're beginning to see who is serious about boycotting AI usage and whose resolve only lasts until a shiny new game they're interested in uses it. Keep this in mind when browsing Twitch or YouTube.

It is absolutely, patently absurd to try to charge fiction as if it were reality. No John Wick movies, they show murder. Andy Dufresne broke out of prison, illegal. Roger Rabbit causes property damage. This is the lease you give them when you let them arrest the icky gross fetishes you dislike

We're entering a time where drawing the wrong thing will cost your freedom. Either all fiction is okay or none of it is; putting a line in the sand, even just to make the most extreme stuff illegal, allows that line to be moved. And moved it will be, until the police are at your door too

Kadokawa has launched "Kadokawa World Manga Atelier" which serves as gateway to becoming a manga artist in Japan. Manga can either be reviewed via world manga contests, online portfolios through Mochikomi, or onsite at conventions (i.e. Anime Expo 2026). kadokawaworldmanga.com

Do not take adult work you like for granted. Currently, none of my printed books can be purchased online due to this situation. I have no idea how/when I'll be able to get them back up. There is no safety net for work like mine. I'm constantly running and just hoping I'll be OK.

The following things sci-fi writers can learn from gundam 1) logistics make and break wars 2) technology advances in weird, unpredictable ways - things can seem to be powerful but are actually useless 3) you can fit an entire space opera in our Lagrange system 4) make the twink sad

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

"you should skip arr" my handholder in hydaelyn when is the last time you wandered through an arr zone. on foot, or on a mount on the ground (not flying), and just... experienced it? arr is beautiful - the places, the music, everything. take 10 minutes to explore it sometime! really see it!

For my fellow Clip Studio Painters, if CSP ever crashes on you and/or corrupts your files: I have the solution 🌟 This method has saved my ass MULTIPLE times‼️and also CSP has a feature in which you can have your progress autosaved, and you can customize how often it saves :3

Wow this is disappointing! Libraries often use Blender to help patrons make things like accessibility aids, toys, things they would otherwise be priced out of. Coupling with a company that exists solely to take advantage is really a betrayal of community ethics.
