Toby is begging for food by giving me the most aggressively leaning leg cuddles and staring up at me in pure betrayal. Okay buddy let's get this and your meds sorted

The snapdragons in my front garden came up from seeds last year and already showing the most juicy blossoms/colours.

May the right fire burn within me.

just guess

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

Timeline cleanser 🐈

Missed this one over the summer. “When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer…This gap between perception and reality is striking…even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.” lol. lmao even

Well don't I feel stupid

when ur character design is generally good & cool it is unfortunately that much more obvious when u just don't like think that fat people can be hot

As soon as the automated demerit system was laid years ago out I pinpointed exactly how it was unlawful. Shitcan this dogshit system and compensate the people it fucked. Fuck Labor for taking up the Coalition's anti-welfare crusade. #AusPol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Subtly downgrade a band As New

Is it really a McOz hack if I'm just buying my own pickled beetroot and adding it to every quarter pounder with salad, or is that just extra labour at this point I don't know. Worth it though.

Conversely, would she be cute and tiny if she slipped out of a phone? Could you put her in a Sadako terrarium?

I think part of the conversation around antis and fictional problematic content that needs to be remembered is it's just really weird for them to make their interpretations of our work a justification for the abuse and bullying of real people. That is just cooked behaviour.

Ngl the post that ends up plugging my writing (I'm not_poignant) making the rounds again is like 'ahhhHHHHH' - makes me so happy that diagetic/non-diagetic BDSM is doing the rounds once more.

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

Post your porn art every day Do I ask my characters how they feel about me deciding for them that they'll be drawn consenting? #bskycensorship #nsfw

You ever resist getting into something because you know if you do, the fandom is going to rise up all Cthulhu style and grab you with a million tentacles and then bury you in the ground for life and you'll never escape? That's me and Genshin.

“Distinguished epidemiologist Professor Fiona Stanley said she was “deeply sad” and “ashamed” after the Fremantle hospital that bears her name abruptly cancelled a 2024 event featuring Palestinian Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza—” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Way back before the tumblr NSFW ban, I would kinda meticulously use tags for people to give them a content heads up. Tumblr used that to just mass delete everything. People still posted NSFW stuff. They just stopped tagging it. Crack downs like this make things worse for everyone..

It's almost like people who understand trauma beyond corporate sensitive training know how to best serve their community through accessibility options so that people can easily curate their own experiences as opposed to simply outright banning things that make a few paypros uncomfortable.

Really good to know that @bsky.app 's response to their entire userbase complaining about censorship is... more censorship @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app this is shameful and disgraceful. Do better. Be better. #bskycensorship

I am a SFW artist and I stand with NSFW artists and creators. Do not participate in the blackout. Shout your opposition to censorship loudly. Shame on the bsky moderation team. Do not comply in advance. No one is free until everyone is free. #bskycensorship #blueskyblackout2025

One reason why I came to bsky from Instagram was that I was tired of only posting sfw drawings and if I didn't, I'd get shadowbanned or worse... Here we have a nice thing called "labels", so every time I click on "show" I consent to viewing nsfw. Why additional censorship? #BskyCensorship

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

Imagine hating creativity and misunderstanding fiction SO much #bskycensorship

#bskycensorship do better for the people who built your site or you won't have a site

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

Addendum: Also, what about stories where highlighting the abusive aspect of an interaction *is the point*? Not every depiction of nudity or sex is something you're meant to get off to. Does that content and those stories just no longer have a place on this site?

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

"Well *I* don't to see that kind of content!" Cool, then don't look at it fuckhead. Your preferences do not justify censorship of art.

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

Mastercard also had a statement in here that it would leave erotic fiction alone. Remind them of what they said in 2012

Africa now has its own internet entirely separate from Silicon Valley! 🙌 @mayawest.online daily positive news submission 🥹💕 #globalnews #decolonize #africa

made some phone calls to my reps today, very easy to just say "i have some general views i wanna express" and they'll listen and nod. i know i say this every time but i cannot stress enough how easy this is to do. honestly i post this every time half as a reminder for myself how easy it is to do.

I mean october is when we draw, I get it, but for the love of everything just call it something else. I was doing Drawtober before I knew it was even a thing, kind of like how I never actually logged into the nanowrimo website and I'm damn skippy not gonna do it now.

ah tis the season; youtube reccing me art videos of "a new way to prepare for inktober!" Here's a new way to prepare for inktober: by doing literally anything else with your autumn than bringing more brand rec to a plagiarist bigot who trademarked something collectively built.

I read a thing the other day which was 'I don't like italics in writing because they often put it on the word I wouldn't emphasise in dialogue' and I had this moment of like yeah, that's the point. You're not reading *you* (reader inserts excluded), you're reading another character's voice.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Article from 2012 It's funny the paypal rep told me PP had a no-nsfw policy since 1999 and also Visa said it would "take no action regarding lawful material that seeks to explore erotica in a fictional or educational manner." I just want people to know about this ig www.reuters.com/article/worl...

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

We're in times where thieves can identify as artists, but people can't identify as themselves.

Whenever someone questions market impacts of GenAi, show them this article. Make them read each heart breaking story. People’s livelihoods are being negatively impacted, by a tech that relied on the work of those same people to function at capacity. The whole thing makes me sick.

NEW: I tracked three dozen teachers, professors and other school staff who've been forced from their job or stepped away due to their comments on Charlie Kirk and his killing Republican lawmakers are increasingly getting involved, pushing for firings www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is wrenching. So many people going mad, talking to mirrors all the way down.

It's 🔥Five Years since the launch of HADES v1.0🔥! Please enjoy this new rendition of 'In the Blood', featuring the voices of Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett accompanied by a full orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Studio 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRSp...

Several people told me that going back to physical goods is the solution to getting art around paypros. It's well-meaning, but again, we can't loophole our way out of this. They're coming for everything. We have to stop running and stand and fight. Call your reps and demand protection. Call paypros.

So uh, what up long covid I got a big dick wait that's not how the song goes in other news...

Incredible.
