Story @ 26ish weeks #pregnant Now that shes gotten bigger in her pregnancy Astoria has been trying on her pre-pregnancy wardrobe. Including this lacy little number When trying it on though one of her babies managed to kick a hole in it (start of that tear probably was already there) (alt text)

Commission for @wungys.bsky.social of Kuradoberi Jam in a fancy dress!! Thank you for commissioning me to draw the number 1 forever girl 🙏💖 #Ama46Art

ID'd the most problematic bills: -RESET Act (doesn't mandate AV though) -SCREEN Act (Broadest AV law) -App Store Accountability Act (AV for App Stores) -Sammy's Law (Surveillance on minors) -Parents Over Platforms Act (AV for Apps) -KOSA (especially if "Duty of Care" is maintained)

call your representatives and demand they oppose KOSA, Sammy's law and the App Store Accountability Act. I'm going to try my best to loom through the other bills to see what else needs to be targeted by us, but for now focus on those three! www.congress.gov/members/find...

looking at the bills and talking to folks, these are the most actively threatening among this batch that will be present during Dec 2's hearing House KOSA's audit policy is the one aspect im a little shaky on and havent found any more authoritative writing on, but felt should still be mentioned

Keep calling your reps, remind them that the midterms are less than a year away and that you'll primary them if they support any of these.

tried my laziest best at the famous Frieren angle... it was way harder than I thought it would be

Comments fuel artists and creators. They help fledgling projects grow because other people see them and spread the word or interact. We definitely cherish every single comment we’ve gotten on the comic on any of our platforms - especially the website. Keep them coming. 🥰

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Just did my calls! Let's really hammer them when they thought we'd get tired!

my previous shitty job only ever brought in food or pizza when they fucked us over and we all knew it so this is a great sign

Always love the a/i disclaimer at the bottom of Steam pages "a/i imagery was used for store images, the game is a/i-free" So, you're saying you spent months, if not years, pouring blood, sweat, and tears into your game, but when it finally came time to promote it, you just...couldn't be bothered?

🍑🧐 hmmm

If you walk off a ledge in Elden Ring, there's a small window where you can hold a charge attack just before you start to fall, causing your character to float in place for a moment then suddenly snap to the ground as if teleporting This is a purely visual animation desync, you still fall normally

Setting money on fire instead of paying musicians or video producers.

But also, please be respectful. Customer support staff are people too <3

For extra damage: specifically request a team lead. Our place was split into lead agents and team leads, the TLs were not supposed to be taking supe calls, but would if they were adamant enough. Do this. They have other important shit to do and management will notice more if it doesn't get done.

We had one guy who escalated 5 times and just kept getting passed around between different leads. It was an entirely unreasonable request, and we ended up just laughing at him, but that call made all of us stop what we were doing.

Got hung up on? Great! Call back and use that as a reason to escalate right away! Any call that is disconnected on their side is also automatically flagged for manual review in most places. The key is to eat up as many resources as possible!

My advice, as a former call center supervisor, is to fish for ways to escalate your call to a supervisor. Upper management HATES when the supe call cue is long. We used to be in perpetual callback hell back where I worked and they constantly devoted extra resources to combating it.

www.badinternetbills.com#stop-csam In addition to calling your reps, this website has both a lot of information explaining why these bills are bad/ why section 230 must be protected, as well as petitions to sign for each individual issue! Signing petitions helps! Make your calls, sign petitions!

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard

This call campaign is working. If youve been calling since mov 1st, youre a trooper! If you havent called yet, now is a fantastic time to do so! Please help us pressure paypros and push back against censorship!

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

#SaveSpeech if you're Canadian, you may have heard about a handful of bills that have free speech and anti-surveillance orgs worried, so ive made a cheat sheet of info about what makes each one worrying! We need to block these bills! please contact your reps! oncanadaproject.ca/findyourrep

#savespeech #stopKOSA #DOYOURJOBPARENTS Hey guys. Remember, this bill will block ALL VPN traffic or outright BAN VPNs, push age verification on websites, and has passed both committees. Call your Wisconsin reps. docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/legisla... docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/legisla...

You can't get any more on-the-nose than the world's richest asshole explicitly encouraging everyone else to think less and be meaner to each other JUST because he thinks it's funny to watch other people suffer (not to mention him pushing to violate peoples' privacy just to get free training d/ata)

Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

de-frag your brain

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai. so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

Gmail users!! They've turned on AI scraping by default now...Here's how to turn it off. Pass it on!! www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

ITS TRUE!!!!!

LIZ WIP TIME!!

pov ur tiny gf demands attention

if you replace voice actors with AI, we’ll have less lesbians, which is a crime against humanity

I’m sure some people think I’m kidding, but I’m not — people discover themselves while making art as often as people discover themselves by interacting with said art removing humans from the equation at any point is a mistake

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time

Especially now, when so many prudes keep trying to demonize sex, I implore you to remember that kinks are all about having fun with your sexuality and having a good time with people you trust. Being able to laugh and goof around is just as important as all the other intimacy
