Stopping for a moonlit drink

you're the main reason to keep on going

Grief is wild and weird and horrible. It's horrible.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

You can like D&D and not know or care about Critical Role. It is possible, I promise you.

RIP to Drew Struzen, the greatest to ever do it. 🙌

Obsessed with the costuming in Nosferatu, which I watched for the first time today. Need to make money to get more gothic horror comms done.

Opening some slots to pay off some bills! I'm unfortunately one of the many that have been affected by the tarriffs situation in the US, so any shares would be much appreciated! Request form: artistree.io/tujiux #commissions

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI models stole writing and art without permission, pay, or credit, and when creators demanded removal or pay, the AI industry said no. Everyone knows this. Literally everyone. "Wehhhh but I still wanna defend and use it" yeah what else do you go ahead and do without permission.

People who use generative AI don't respect boundaries and don't seek consent. You can and should view generative AI use as a red flag in a person's behaviour, and call out / shun appropriately.

Was excited to read this book until I heard about this. Came right off my tbr. How disappointing.

another commission for~ @trash-being.bsky.social 💖

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

They came for Roe. They're coming for Obergefell. This isn't the start, we are already living in fascism. These monsters won't stop until women are removed from the public sphere, queerness is relegated to the shadows, and the planet is a corpse. Fight back while you still can.

If you're scrolling through your feed and an artwork makes you stop scrolling - or heck you scroll back up to have another look... something meaningful is happening. You're having a ✨️moment✨️ with that artwork. It's so special when this happens! But more importantly... let the artist know! 😁

I love blsky - its full of artists and they are doing good work. It makes me happy.

I decided to do a runner-up prize for my little 1K giveaway for a new commission type I'm offering now: Profile Picture illustrations! Here's what I came up with for @trashbeing.bsky.social featuring their half-elven sorcerer, Ned! You can commission me through my Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/c/6ee715439d

Every single one of them is passing the buck to the other one. They're all complicit and they're all working to censor and ban you from consuming perfectly legal goods, as well as legally supporting creators you love. Keep hammering their asses.

All these laws and groups pushing censorship are betting on our pacifism. If you have a singular rebellious bone in your body (or even if you don't), prove them wrong. Call your reps & make your voice heard so that we can all continue to enjoy the things we enjoy.

after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to [email protected] they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms: This thread contains everything you need to fight back! - A script - Form links - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Petitions - and more! Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

Mastercard support email: [email protected] Visa support email: [email protected] Email them, be nice but firm about it, don't take your anger out on support staff but don't pretend you're not angry. Template (in multiple parts) below.

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

I have been on a commissions kick lately because I have no personal artistic ability - but I love ART and I wanna support people. So, if you look at my page because I have followed you recently... it's just because I am lurking until comms open or my finances replenish. 💛

The media initially portraying this as a spat between two neighbors instead of a married couple enduring terrifying ongoing harassment over their love and inherent traits should shame multiple outlets.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

Generative AI tools are a paving stone in the road to fascism, and, honest to god, if you are using them in literally any form I think less of you. I am disappointed in you. Do better.

thoughts on gen AI: "This comes down to just basic consent and respect for boundaries."

Please stop using the planet destroying slop machine that is generative AI. No, it's not okay to use it for leftist or progressive causes. You don't stand with the working class or marginalized people by stealing their art without compensation.

It's worth reiterating - Microsoft's own research indicates that use of generative AI degrades critical thinking skills and erodes confidence in unassisted decision making.

AI-bros use the term 'AI' to refer to LLMs and AGI because they WANT to confuse you; they want you to associate the term 'AI' with those products. AI just means artificial intelligence - anything designed to execute logic. That word has a wide range of uses that aren't generative or derivative

I think its fine to have art content you dont enjoy, approve of or want to see, and establishing a personal boundary is healthy But as anti-porn and anti-art fascism continues to ramp up i think you need to weigh how publicly calling people freaks, degens, weirdos etc is feeding these attitudes

Extremely good article. I mean just

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.
