This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people. It's because she is literally, publicly using the $ from her books/show/games/etc to do bad things that hurt people I love.

I can't scream this from the rafters loud enough. I will have infinitely more respect for devs who use scribbles or stick figures, than I ever will for Gen-AI garbage. If you don't have respect for the artforms you're replacing with slop, why should I expect anything better from your project?

In two minutes this doctor explains why anti-trans hysteria is completely unscientific and based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how transitioning facilitated through the medical system actually works

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

An eternal mood. Like, I get all the reasons WHY people are cruel, but they all boil down to excuses for hate and selfishness. It baffles me that people can't just, be kind? It's so easy to just not be cruel.

EVERYONE MEET OUR CHAMPION MAC TODAY

Vance seemed eager to get ahead of online theories that he killed the Pope—or something like that—given the timing. In a statement, he said Francis was 'obviously very ill' during their meeting. www.jezebel.com/pope-francis...

The official Siren Head plushie is now available! It's my birthday, and he came out really cool, so you should grab one! www.makeship.com/products/sir...

This is doing the rounds, so I do want to re-iterate with as much emphasis as I can, nothing kills my interest in a game faster than seeing AI generated content. And not just because I object to AI on an ethical level, I see it as a huge red flag. Do *ANYTHING* else, draw placeholder MS Paint art.

I'm cooking with this and so should you

Know your alliance

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

I would just like to take a moment to appreciate all the people who make Don Quixote jokes in Elden Ring.

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

🚨LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY🚨 @wren-d.bsky.social was forced onto the street by his transphobic parents and desperately needs insulin and shelter. Help us relocate him to a safe home before its too late. More info below, updates to follow: gofund.me/f2afa587 #disability | #trans | #art | #vtuber

Update: Thank you so SO so much for the help and for the shares so far. Wren has too weak to stand or stay awake, but thanks to the donations I’ll be able to go help keep him fed and cared for for a bit. Fingers crossed we hit the next goal to afford his medications. Keep you posted!

this is the proposition to change gender markers on us passports and require trans ppl to use their birth-sex instead. open comments end march 17th. there are just under 14k comments on this right now. cis ppl, get your asses in there and give em hell! if you wanna be an ally, here's an easy one.

It's time.

I love boneless wings :3

Content creation

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, that’s by design. Breathe, and have faith in yourself and your community. We ARE stronger than them. But not when we lay down and succumb to misery and apathy.

Good. Yes. Get out. If you're a nazi or you think we should make nice with nazis (which incidentally, makes you a fuckin' nazi) GET OUT. My work is not for you. My community is barred to you. Get. the fuck. out.

Getting sick of people making AI slop of billionaires being gay/submissive to Trump. All you're doing is letting everyone know how you really feel about queer people AND artists in a single stupid move. Makes it easy to fill out the blocklist, at least.

yesterday my dad tried to start a conversation about how he supported trumps actions against trans folks, when i said i didn't want to discuss my and my friend's/partner's right to exist he started a tirade that ended in him kicking me out of the apartment i rent from him

Wren is a disabled and diabetic trans man being forced out onto the street and cut off by his transphobic father. Please PLEASE help him move to a better place where his insulin isn’t leveraged against him so he can feel safe for once in his life. Links below.

YOU DON'T GET TO MISGENDER TRANS PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE. THAT IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS. IF YOU NEED THIS PETTY SHIT EXPLAINED TO YOU, YOU ARE IN THE FUCKING WAY AND NEED TO MOVE.

I stumbled on this while looking up something else and it just felt really apropos.

If you've, at any point, said you support trans people and our right to exist, great, now is when you put your money where your damn mouth it. Support our fundraisers. Give us jobs. Hire trans writers. Trans artists. Defend us when we're attacked. It's not hypothetical anymore, don't be a coward.

Trans existence is resistance. Know you will be loved, you will be celebrated. No matter what, you will have a safe space wherever I am. You deserve to thrive as the person you are. 🎨 @smogteeth.bsky.social

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people. It was literally the Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire

Now more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

The 👁️ in my branding has consistently meant that I see you, and I am watching. This is intended as a comfort to those seeking safe spaces. It is equally intended as a threat to those who would seek to harm us.

For those who need to hear it today 🏳️‍🌈

if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create
