it's impressive just how quickly for those who did turn to the proverbial dark side and started using AI, their credibility just -evaporated- overnight. And they gained nothing for it, not really. when the bubble bursts they'll still have nothing.

if you have ever watched this video to completion, you do not have a license to derisively call anything else on the internet "brain rot" you should, however, schedule your colonoscopy

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

This, hopefully, is going to be the last time I have to ask for help for a hot minute. There's a possible job on the horizon, but until that time I'm still behind on bills and need help. I have until about the 24th to cover everything, every little bit helps keeps me above water ko-fi.com/kdarc

I love how Lulu has progressed as a character, in design x3

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN! Business has been rough as hell, but I gotta eat n pay the bills. I'VE GOT THREE (3) COMMISSION SLOTS OPEN AND I GOTTA GET 'EM ALL FILLED! Reply or DM me if you wanna pick one up!

gofund.me/70871a1c seriously this might be my best chance at finally moving out and starting hrt I’m begging y’all please

This Is Definitely His Legacy….

And if you CAN draw, but use the AI anyways, double fuck you. STOP FEEDING THE BILLIONAIRES

"But I can't draw like-" Stifle it, fuckwad, you still can't draw, and you're offloading any drive to improve to a billionaire's diesel-guzzling, data regurgitator that pukes stolen work down your gullet so you can return to breaking your back to pay for their next yacht.

THIS. There's a few peeps I -used- to be friends with who use genAI. Past Tense. If you use genAI to create "art" for you, you are my enemy. Full stop. Not just because it was never -yours- in the first place, but because you actively harm one of the most important things we have left!

#BlueSkiesArt #OC_MatBonvents IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW WHAT HAPPENS...

practice ya bleats

THUNDER, RAIN AND LIGHTNING DANGER, WATERS RISING CLAMOR, SIRENS WAILING-- IT'S SUCH A BAD SIGN! SHADOWS AND DARK CREATURES, STEEL CLOUDS FLOWING IN THE AIR, PEOPLE RUN FOR SHELTER, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US?! #BlueSkiesArt #OC_Discordia

This is—ironically enough—what I am talking about. RW voters who demand their bigotries be accommodated are never "radical" or "throwing a tantrum." No—those are "swing voters" to pursue, even as they fail to show up time & again. The goal here isn't a bigger tent, but to prevent movement leftward.

An update on an old OC! (Also had forgotten to post this too xD)

Basically what I'm saying is don't fret too much with me, there's a good chance my transgender polyfragmented therian butt is equally if not downright weirder than you, I'm just keepin it chill. Nothin' but love here

Also, in case anyone's worried, Yes, I've had therapy about it. I've healed a lot of trauma over the last bit, and like I said, harmonious choir, -functionally- a single whole person, still speak of myself in the singular, I just have some slightly unnerving brain tricks up my sleeve

Look, life can be hard, and minds adapt in wild ways. Dissociation, trauma, suppressing aspects of yourself, stuff like that, and that shit can sometimes coalesce into alters/headmates/skullbuddies. I get it. I've BEEN it. Neurodivergence is a fuckin trip

Yes, I am too. Or kinda am? Recently had a system reintegration (thus the change in 'sona shape and attitude) but I'm more of a harmonious polyfragmented choir of lesser mental agents in a trenchcoat that's aware of itself. I'm chill about it tho.

Always amusing when I meet someone and they're suuuuuuuuuper sheepish about admitting they're plural. Oh if only they knew how many eyes are reading their nervous confessions from behind these retinas.

The coverup is Official official: “The Trump administration has formally denied Minnesota law enforcement access to information and evidence from the FBI investigation into the shooting death of Alex Pretti by federal agents on Jan. 24 in Minneapolis.”

The KORPS is back with two more novels: The second volume of the TO CRACK A GENOME series by @runafjord.bsky.social (cover by @shapelessink.bsky.social) and THE MAGICIAN by @mabelgreysmoke.bsky.social with has an absolute stunning cover by the author herself.😍

anyway that was Hecate, one of a set of triplets along with her sisters Dione and Nike, the latter of whom i figured I'd, Develop, this machine is for emptying heads and filling bellies #ballpoint

Someone at Lab 19's ears just perked up in interest.

This shit ain't nothin' to me, floof. I'm twelve million years old, rockin' a partial with glow-in-the-dark stripes. We smokin' premium arctic wolf lung buster, knot locked in the quiet room at 4 a.m. Hotel staff still tryna figure out the claw marks on the ceiling. Immortal pack energy, slime.

Trump's regime is too selfish, short-sighted and venal to play the game that previous presidents did. He tore down much of the American illusion in his first term, and Biden was too cowardly and feeble to restore it. Trump's lasting accomplishment is that now, everyone sees America for what it is.

Trump's artifice is the lack of artifice. He's never honest on purpose; he's a compulsive liar, in fact. But he's also a very BAD liar, a very incompetent deceiver, and he's impatient with the forms and protocols of being the US president. He is honest, unintentionally and entirely by accident.

For all the comparisons we could make, America used to be more Roman than Nazi. They had amazing PR. I'd say Obama was one of America's most talented PR masterminds; he managed to make people forget the rampant criminality of the Bush II era - while still continuing and expanding much of it!

A lot of otherwise reasonable people have a blind spot for the Roman Empire. There's a lot of lionization of their culture. But every reasonable person recoils in disgust from association with the Nazis. They had no great works of culture, no enduring public good. Only hate and slaughter.

Despite the vile torments the Romans devised - decimation, crucifixion, having people torn apart by wild animals - they're still remembered as bringers of peace. Despite the absurd corruption at every level of governance, they're remembered as arbiters of law.

Important to note that while the Athenian and Roman empires were actually fucking awful to live under if you weren't a full citizen (and often even if you were), they have excellent PR because they built grand public works and much of their high culture survived. The Nazis, on the other hand...

Toasted Bagel.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

I gotta get worse. Scratch that, I need to actually put out the stuff i've thought about that's worse.

the universe be making even the most obvious plot twists reality lmfao

Making my way through sprites for my writers. They've done so much for Conway,I couldn't thank them enough. What I can do, aside from paying them ofc, is make art, so here we are. First off: @adeernamedmando.bsky.social, resident deer, as we all know deer are rad, Mando's no exception, naturally.

People*

My photography of other peolme is starting to take more of a focus and while my bsky will remain the same, I just want it all under one domain. My fetish side is also my photography side and y'know I hate separation of this stuff personally.

So y'know I think at some point soon I'm gonna depreciate the nyxieneon url/handle/domain and just swap to StudioNyxie, truth be told I believe there's another artist who goes by that and I don't really use the neon part much. I'm gonna probably delete the @studionyxie.art bsky account and swap.

A reminder I have a telegram I post stuff to as well. t.me/StudioNyxie

Parents give their children unsupervised access to the internet with smart phones, but it's the FREEDOMS OF THE INTERNET they attack. This is about CONTROLLING INFORMATION, what you see and what you say. It's nothing to do with "protecting" anyone. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can confirm.

When Terry Pratchett died it struck me that our door to the world inside his mind was forever closed. Other people could write Discworld books of course, but they would be their own interpretation - not bad but inherently different. I realised each human mind is a unique, limited resource

Taking 2 more 2-3 week comp time or less

updating sky to work better natively w newer versions of vrc and honestly being very surprised that aside from the head being a little too far forward they still look... good?
