Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

Dragon con remains undefeated.

jfc, destroy this shit. Sue it into the ground and keep going.

Personal pet peeve: It drives me batshit crazy to read a comic and see all the balloon tails stretched or shrunk to different widths where they meet the balloons. The letterer just lazily copied/pasted the tail around and didn't homogenize. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

You know we couldn't say no to day 2 of When We Were Young! Pre-sale is happening Friday at 10am, don't forget to sign up at whenwewereyoungfestival.com + we'll see you on October 19th! 🎸

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

less dramatically (but very noisily), my chicken-keeping neighbors abruptly had a rooster one morning. Who crowed all day, every day. That's when I learned some hens can spontaneously change into roosters.

People, if you want to use artwork, just ask. MOST people will say fine (with credit). The sliver of people who will say no don't have to give you a reason, but sometimes it can be as easy as "this was a commission" Don't ask and just use it? Don't act shocked when it comes back on you

It’s always super suspicious when someone just follows you and immediately DMs you; lmao like I’m gonna fall for your “I accidentally report you” scam 😂

Hacker Warning! If you come across this user and they DM you, block and report them immediately! #Hacker

applying for jobs again

Someone just offered to license our entire back catalog of issues for "AI" training. No way in hell. Not gonna happen. No means no. Don't come back. Don't even look this way. Seriously. We don't want you here.

Folks often ask if we can do anything to protect authors and writers. I have been indeed working on it, and this is recent news on our case. Bartz vs Anthropic is now the first case certified as class action. The ramifications are significant. See below. chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/2025/07/17/a...

I am glad I am starting to cut people from my life. People that didn’t value me. People that gaslight me. People that lie about me and destroying my reputation. People who refuse to listen to logic. The people that have done me wrong and assumed shit about me can go fuck off…

Sad times for the scene today. Another legend gone.

Tried to cancel my Paramount+ subscription due to the merger/fascism bullshit and got this note. I'm guessing lots of other people had the same idea?

Akaiye in all those details

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist

This is the best server I have been to! I guarantee you that this is worth it!

Some supporters have come together to construct a History of #StopKillingGames video: youtu.be/DlOX3wRQvUg We recommend giving it a watch if you want to see Stop Killing Games in its historical context. Spread it around to let others know the same! (🇩🇪 auch auf Deutsch!)

Day 258

People especialy artists who still use twitter only care about their amount of followers and engagement.

My 2025 Art Fight card! I am on team Crystal! #ArtFight #ArtFight2025 #ArtFightTeamCrystal

Look at this tortoise and behold her wisdom.

It’s so sickening… Yeah let’s throw logic out of the window and ignore the age of these minors. MINORS! Let me repeat that again! MINORS! CHILDREN! Why can’t some NSFW artists have morals and not draw characters that they know good and well are children..? 🤦‍♀️

The event will be way more fun in person, but if you can't make it, there will be a youtube stream! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrZ-... vrc.group/TDPSC.2398

NEW: We investigated several stories of people who spiraled into severe, life-altering mental health crises after developing all-consuming obsessions with ChatGPT. Screenshots we reviewed show the AI directly engaging with and supporting user delusions + conspiracies. futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

Ended up deleting one of the artworks I made for… a “friend”… I feel like I wasted my time doing art for someone that screams and yells at me for no reason and doesn’t apologize. I will not mention the name of the person. And if the “friend” happens to read this, I am done with bs…

advertising centurion showdown cause it's a fun game imo lol but yeah, if anyone would be interested in a text-based rpg run on google docs, you should check this out! discord.gg/cJAdC97qDa

Preview for Madworld on Wii. Taken from GamesMaster 209 - March 2009 (UK) You can download this issue here: https://www.outofprintarchive.com/catalogue/GamesMaster.html #RetroGaming #nintendo #wii

One of the best things you'll ever pick up for a few quid. 🔥 (another is one of Scanlines' catch-up bundles available via the link on my pinned, nudge nudge)

i think they should remaster Madworld

Surrounding yourself with like-minded artists is extremely important! As well as having a passion for your OCs and their stories! I love my OCs with a passion, and doing art of them makes me happy and inspired! Whether it is for a story, meme, a joke in general, etc! Everything is better with OCs!

One of the protagonists of HST! A rebellious yet chill boy who dreams to be a musician. Is in a relationship with Anthony. #CherryCandyBlossomArt #DigitalArt #CharacterRef #Teenager #LGBTQ #Musician #OCArt #Punk

The AI video they share in this is vile shit. Especially frustrated that the ILM guy makes note that this tech should only be used with permission from "the talent" by which he means actors likenesses. Not the artist talent that was stolen without permission to build the training sets they use.

Fuck AI. I don't care if you have any sort of excuse. Generative AI is built on an ethos of theft and harm. For art. For the world. For individual people. I had no say in this. I didnt give consent. I had my likeness and body taken and turned into some slug's wretched vision of a lie with my face.

NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI. The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard. futurism.com/soundcloud-a...

Incredible story. Disney was using an AI generation tool which itself was malicious software which allowed hackers to steal 1.1 terabytes of confidential data. cyberinsider.com/disney-hacke...

Raised the profile? He’s HARMING the ASD community. Many who were waiting for diagnosis have cancelled their assessments or have decided not to pursue diagnosis at all (like me) for fear of safety.

I hate to say I told you so. PLEASE stop sharing misinformation. If you cannot trace something that sounds serious and scary to a reliable source, you should not assume it is reliable information. Vet these things before sharing. There are many ways to do this, and none of them are very hard to do.

hello, i am launching a gofundme to help raise money for living expenses while i save to finally move out of florida. between my disabilities affecting my ability to work, and the cost of living being so high where i live, i've no choice but to ask for help. gofund.me/fae4d80e

If someone ever says “your art is less valuable because you work for many clients” that’s a red flag to avoid someone and please don’t ever listen to these assholes That’s not how the world works at all like???
