JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

finished commission for @abeestos.bsky.social, thank you again!! This character is so cool and figuring out how to translate them into my style was a lot of fun :)

They vote on this shit THIS MONDAY. Call your representatives and tell them to VOTE NO on KOSA, KIDS, and other "age verification" bills. This would basically gut online privacy if it passes. You care about your privacy? Your freedom? Your rights? Call now. Get off your ass and do it. Call.

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

bad way to go

*skin tearing

The death of subtext is very very bad for textual representation by the way. It only reinforces and feeds into narratives of how to be queer and trans in the "proper" way, and dislocates queerness and queer readings from not-explicitly-queer texts. If something can only be read queerly in one way,

i keep thinking about this and trying to absorb the nutrients from it

I fucking hate how things aimed at kids arent actually for kids now, but actually aimed at whales and scalpers/collectors because it makes much more of a profit. seriously I fucking hate lego and pokemon shit right now, it's so bleak and evil

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGv4... #metafiction This video is great in a lot of ways. Imperfect but it literally talks about why perfection is fake. "Meta is easy" is a phrase that will stick with me forever and is formative of the projects I'm working on. It may be easy, but I'm still a beginner.

Fuck it. Writing some stupid shit because no one can stop me.

running the same exact losing strategy 30+ years later not only in a vastly different environment, but specifically one where right wingers own much, much more of the media than they did at the time (where, again, you lost anyway). brilliant strategies, sir

anytime i see some "this is just how it is, it sucks but we gotta do it for votes" for throwing minorities under the bus, i think about the '94 crime bill and operation gatekeeper and how the '94 midterms turned out for democrats anyway

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

It baffles me when programmers defend AI. Like, it spits out a program for you and you don't know why it works. How do you know how efficient it is or that it's not doing extra stuff you don't want it to do? How do you go in and adjust it?

The people who believe you can't learn to speak in public and be sociable work on the exact same principle as the people who believe you're born being good at art You're not a solid state, you're the things you do. Go practice. Go fail until you find out that failure is the first step to success.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Artists, never forget that you are not a brand. You do not need to be consistent and marketable. If you CHOOSE to strive for these things that’s fine, but you do not NEED them. You are a fucking person, multi-faceted and complex. People who do not respect that see your art as a product

”An engineering team at a large AI vendor decided that the user's machine is a deployment surface to be optimised for the vendor's product roadmap, not a personal device whose owner is the legal authority on what runs there.”

DON'T STEAL MY FACE

Wetsocks the OST

the phrase "do it scared" has done so much for my mental health i cannot stress how lifechanging it is to realize: if you are scared of doing something (especially if it can be beneficial to you), you cannot wait for yourself to not be scared. it will always seem scary. you have to do it scared

every social group is full of insecure freaks who send people death threats. i'm sick of this game where everyone pretends that their group only receives threats and never threatens other people. we need to just admit that everyone wants to kill everyone

what you need to keep in mind despite all that is who actually has systemic power

obligation to protect

I think more people should familiarize themselves with the homeless resources they have locally just in case someone approaches them to ask for help, cause I've now had to do that multiple times and wouldn't be able to do shit if I wasn't familiar with them already.

did you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu? i wrote a post about this on cohost a while back, but since that site shut down i'm posting it here too

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

Wow. Foraminifera! ROV pilots paused and carefully zoomed in to collect footage of these single-celled microorganisms, or protists, at 843 m during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition w/ @schmidtsciences.bsky.social offshore of Argentina. Read the full caption: youtube.com/shorts/Yv_ud...
