My cupboard is running a bit low on ramen, cereal, and other staples-- if you'd like to help it's super appreciated, but not required. Reposting helps a lot too! We gotta do what we can to get by so please take care of yourselves first.

one interesting thing so far about loudly hating AI is the way AI lovers are like "wow so you're just totally closed off to hearing another perspective??" as if their perspective hasn't been relentlessly pushed down our throats with no space to push back (particularly in professional settings)

Art should be able to comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable. It should give you pause, hit hard topics, conflict with your worldview, make you think! To disallow that aspect of art is pure censorship.

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.

You know, fuck cringe culture. Who fucking cares god damn. Make a self insert. Put the same OC into every fandom. Make OC x NPC content Make NPC x NPC content Who cares. People are trying to snuff out joy and whimsy, dont let them

Trans Rights are Human Rights. If you disagree, block me. Because I will not tolerate transphobia where I come from. Love is love. Trans Men are Men. Trans Women are Women. I will fight for trans rights. I will fight for our existence to be recognized and protected. No exceptions.

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

More Mira incoming 😁💕 #wip #kpopdemonhunters

if you find a minor in your adult space, you remove them. that's it. that's the extent of your responsibility to society if you're not the minor's parent. anyone who says there need to be laws and age verification to keep minors out of your adult space is either naive or has ulterior motives

Sorry to vent on main but I'm just so sick of being a grown-ass adult online who can't openly enjoy talking about or drawing sex stuff even in completely adult spaces where all minors are completely banned just because everyone has gotta be such fascist controlling fucking babies about it

When we overthrow the tech bros I only want monster fuckers and furry porn artists running the internet and tech.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

If you want to tip me for endlessly repeating the same information as I wait anxiously for my disability payment to hit my overdrafted account bsky.app/profile/kiya...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

Apple seems to be trying this bullshit again.

this isn't even just a "fandom cringe" thing or a 30s thing - rediscovery is a huge part of life once you have a meaningful sense of emancipation and autonomy, and a lot of people only find that in their 30s. it can be hard to pursue passions just for the love of it without time, money, and privacy

The best thing that folks in the UK can do if they’re feeling inspired by folks in the US is to get connected with your local immigration raid watch and other migrant justice groups. Labour has only been emboldened by the increase of anti-immigrant violence in the US - don’t let it get any worse.

You need to be informed, but you also need to protect your health. Spiraling will not help you nor others. I don't have any suggestions or wisdom because I'm also right there with you, but I just want you to know I see you trying.

I may not be super active here but a reminder that my posts are NOT for ICE supporters, MAGAts or facist losers in general. Sorry not sorry but shitheels do not deserve my shitposts.

Fuck ICE.

UK MPs asking the question "what if we ban social media to under 16s". what if you taught people internet etiquette and privacy in schools again? what if you stopped trying to control the news your population sees? the people they befriend across the globe, instead of psychosis-causing robots?

In what UNIVERSE does "you're still trans if you don't feel safe to transition for any reason" equate to "You shouldn't transition" ?

I hate AI almost as much as I hate ICE. I write about stuff on my reader-supported blog, and this one's been getting shared around again lately, so I figured, hey, I've got a really big $350 doctor's visit cost coming up. paypal.me/stompsite new article soon docseuss.medium.com/using-chatgp...

Sephiroth and Genesis spill the tea on power, power dynamics, and how to use your boobs to wield it over others.

I have this one hung up in my station at work. It has distracted many a client while they've been suffering in my chair xD But I drew this YEARS ago and I like to think my digital art has improved exponentially since then, so it's one I would like to redraw one day~ #Cloudstrife #Sephiroth

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Nothing grates me more than when AI game dudes are like "Don't you wish you could ask an NPC aNyThInG?" Absolutely fucking not. If you don't understand that every piece of writing is made with intention, character, and meaningful choice... you probaby shouldn't be directing a fucking video game.

hey, I am not gonna doompost about it necessarily but, a glance around will tell you it's a hard & stressful time for artists, and especially so this year consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work it does matter

The only acceptable amount of genAI usage is zero, IMO.

Money is crazy tight atm— support would be super appreciated! Sharing the original post helps too! I’ve been out of steady work because of medical issues, which are being poorly handled by my country’s whack ass healthcare system.

For me it was the Nintendo GameCube. That was the console that made me into the gamer I am now xD

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

I'm sure this is a positive in your collection actually! (I know what you mean, I'm just being silly. This is a beautiful shot from whomever took it)

Mood, by noonsillustrations on IG.

The fact that my tumblr keeps opening to one of @chucktingle.bsky.social's books is probably a sign telling me to buy it lmaoooo

I mean, let's break it down: AI doesn't produce useful assets. It doesn't produce useful code or writing. At best, you need humans to manage and edit the product to the point where it becomes mediocre (and that's generous). If mediocre is what you're aiming for... all good, I guess?

The new lawsuits against OpenAI are tragic and deeply troubling. One of the plaintiffs, Kate Fox, is suing following the death of her husband, Joe Ceccanti. Ceccanti experienced at least two acute crises following extensive ChatGPT use. He did not survive the second: futurism.com/artificial-i...

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Is rickrolling on Halloween a trick or a treat?

If you haven't played the Loathing games (especially Shadows Over Loathing) you really should! Peak humour and lots of fun details in the backgrounds.
