Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.

It’s right behind me isn’t it? Come check downtown Chicago out next Saturday @ 1230pm on the MFF Blue Line ride to Union Station. Details below! 🧵: @waggerycos.com 📸: @fullsenddash.bsky.social

“Poor people have a right to art!” They sure do. So get to it.

won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns. #art

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

Are you someone who claims to be a “trans ally”? Cool! Here’s your new test to see if you actually are a trans ally for real or just for “social media clout.” Stop playing Fortnite.

Idk how many times people are gonna have to say "stop using ai it is literally killing us" before people listen. No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.

Introducing my fundamentals class to isometric drawing tonight so I have a legitimate excuse to talk about how I use it to figure out Minecraft builds. 🤓

she likes the snow...

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

I think in addition to the whole "dont use genAI for art" we really have to come together to discourage the blind-consumption of it as well. Its extremely common for people to just instantly like/support something without doing some digging, but actively encourage and support authentic endeavors.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you :3

@hankgreen.bsky.social nooo, Hank don’t do it!!!

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

EU friends, please take a few minutes to contact your representatives to oppose this bill. We know and understand how flawed these measures are, but those in charge clearly do not. You can use the contact tool at the link below to generate an email with all the addresses you can speak to.

remembered the hard way that firefox mobile has about:config disabled but googling it again means i learned about chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml where you can set general.aboutConfig.enable to true and then your about:config works again 💖

Kevin Sorbo was in his 30s and in peak physical condition (he was currently playing Hercules), and he had three strokes after he had his neck cracked by his chiropractor.

allegiance always to the pornographers and the freaks. consider making a call to mastercard, visa etc in the run-up to big spending season, more info about how to do this at the link

Me when I say that I'm a "freelance artist" and have the freedom to draw whatever my heart desires

Once again, I’m not going to be lectured on child safety by the people who’ve decided that school shootings are acceptable, that food security is optional, and that vaccines are bad actually. Call your congress critters now.

Id you havent been calling your representatives about KOSA and other bills, NOW is the time to start doing so

I cannot stress how much the hyper focus on hyperrealism has ruined general public perception of creative projects Video Especially in gaming - I do not need to be able to see the pores and hair follicles on every character. Stylization will always matter to me more than hyperrealism

We need CPS but for software. If the owners of a game or OS start screwing it up this bad they need to have it taken away from them

If you're THAT desperate for furry game, remember that there's tons of indie furry devs out there who are making them with love and passion. Don't feed the Corporation Slop.

Letting ya know that Elyon Badger’s account got suspended with a vague explanation, and it lands really weird when he’s a congressional candidate pushing for things most of us actually care about. He talks about healthcare access, rights to repair, LGBTQ+ rights, and working-class protections. (1/4)

(I Need Help) A couple days ago, I fled home. I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive. This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. On Monday, I discretely packed my bags, computer, and left.

Where did you turn it off? Because the advice I'm seeing going around to uncheck the box on the main menu mostly disables email categorizations, you may want to click on this button and turn off the things in there instead. bsky.app/profile/hoof...

I don't think anything radicalized me as much as realizing taxes are purposefully kept difficult so that one company can make a profit on software

Heads up: popular antivirus program Malwarebytes posted this warning about Google training it's AI on our emails. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20... Apparently this is being gradually rolled out, so if the settings aren't enabled yet you may need to check back later to make sure they're disabled

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
