Infuriating to watch black and trans people warn folks about Newsom--JUST LIKE THEY WARNED FOLKS ABOUT TRUMP--and see everyone respond with "But he's a Democrat."

If you saw the creepy Ring Super Bowl commercial then you know they're manufacturing consent for a surveillance state (that serves ICE) by emotionally blackmailing us with our dogs' safety. This flyer can be printed out and posted all over, or shared online. Get your $ back, fuck ICE.

#ff7 #finalfantasyvii have you seen him?

The box has gathered dust for years. Moved with me from house to house unopened. I've told myself that I'll deal with the box of dolls last. There are no more boxes left for me to use as a shield. Dust and clatter I expect. But there are no dolls in the box. Just bones. #HorrorWritersChat

Why do assholes feel the need rag on indie creators for taking a while to make stuff? Typically, indie folks have MULTIPLE jobs and they have to work on their own thing in their free time. Demanding creators to rush stuff is just gonna make a worse final product, and you’ll just be mad about that.

Discord users get hacked/phished every other day and these jokers expect to effectively roll out ID and age verification? 🤣

I want all writers to be into writing as much like themselves as possible. I hate to see someone say writing's so good they wish they'd written it. You couldn't have, you're you, & they're them. That's the spirit of plagiarism behind AI. Believe in your capacity to create beauty unique to you.

By the way if you support the actions of this administration or ICE in any possible, feasible way, no matter how miniscule You fucking make me sick Fuck you, block me

It sometimes feels ludicrous to study literature when jackbooted thugs are murdering people in the streets and shipping innocent people to camps. But if I'm going to be an academic in such a moment, at least I get to study this.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

It is getting harder to see it these days, but I always hold on to this quote from Samwise in LOTR: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Also, check follower numbers and account creation dates. I’m having to block chaos agent accounts with 3 to 10 followers created right around the time of today’s murder.

so don't get too comfortable. #art

Swelling rage

Realizing that I've never made a pinned and staring at it like - uhhhhhh I'll get around to it probably sooner rather than later because I apparently also forgot to set up a header image so I oughta do that

Look, Claire Obscur may be a good game and all, but I support it being stripped of all awards for using genAI. We cannot let game studios think they can get away with it.

A little thank you 🐾🤍

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

Writers, please don’t use genAI to create illustrations either. Support human artists. If you like visual prompts, collecting oracle and tarot decks is a fantastic way to combine this support for art into your writing practice.

Spell check existed long before genAI and in its most basic function is not genAI. Spell check is code. It's a function. It checks against a database of available words. Spell check in certain programs, however, may have been made worse by running it through genAI.

may every trans child grow into a trans adult

Be extra kind to retail workers today. Contrary to popular opinion, Black Friday is not the busiest sales day of the year - the last Saturday before Christmas is.

This was actually very helpful, in case you’re like me and were curious about all the schadenfreude you kept scrolling past.

Tired of headlines like "POLITICIAN HUMILIATED BY..." and "JUDGE WARNS POLITICIAN THAT..." and other such things without substance. Wake me when we're seeing something real happen.

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.

This is a photo I took and posted that went viral on Twitter back in the day. Funny to see it in the wild 😂

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT. Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

RIP to the legendary Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ➡️ deadline.com/2025/12/cary... He'll always be Shang-Tsung to me and killed every role he was in

“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Artists who continue to shun AI and do Real Work instead of giving in to the slop being forced down the world's throat are braver than the troops #vt-text

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

And yes, I am going to be denigrating and insulting in my descriptions of any developers relying on AI to have their creativity for them. It’s inherent plagiarism, environmentally destructive, and it’s being used to REPLACE GAME DEVS. To use it is to be a traitor to your own profession. Fuck you.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!
