All The Things Trans People Said Were Gonna Happen Ended Up Happening

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

The police are telling us that we need to disperse our peaceful protest of their AI, or else we (even as guests) will be removed from the convention and arrested.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

i realize that the issue is bigger than itchio, but i am sorely disappointed in the way they've chosen to handle it.

This isn't just affecting games hosted on itchio... Comics, books, zones, etc with these tags are also no longer searchable. This is going to impact indie scenes across the board if not challenged!

🖤 🤎 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 💗 Pride Month isn't over yet for me, & neither is my fundraiser for @qweertygamers.org ! We've raised $150 so far, & I'll keep fundraising all summer long as part of my Summer of Pride 2025. I'm live right now, swatching some makeup products from Half Magic! After that, who knows?

YouTube takes aim at mass-produced AI videos: Starting July 15, YouTube will update its Partner Program policies to limit ad revenue for AI-generated and repetitive videos

I was gonna go live tonight, but after updating OBS, it's no longer compatible with my PC! This is why I never updated OBS, yall, and you shouldn't either 😭

I have been in so much pain these past few days, I miss streaming! I haven't even gotten to play Big Gay 3 with Ulora :( Someone shift all my pain onto the 51 BBB voters plsssss

🖤 🤎 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 💗 WE HIT OUR GOAL!!! $150 raised for @qweerty99.bsky.social , & we'll keep fundraising until the end of summer!

I always end up making my self portraits blue no idea what that’s about

Look, I like a rustic, lumpy mashed potato with bits of potato peel in them, dangit! I'm sick of all these online chefs telling me how to make them better by putting them through a ricer and then a sieve so that my potatoes are smoother than baby food and can be eaten with a straw. GIVE. ME. LUMPS.

Resident Evil 5 is such a goofy fun game, but I never see anyone give a retrospective on it without constantly comparing it to RE4. I wish I could find a retrospective that judge RE5 on its own merits rather than as a successor to RE4. The game clearly tried to be different, not a replica of RE4. 😔

🖤 🤎 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 💗 Live again with Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, & a couple of my cats!! You can switch the camera to focus on a cat as an incentive when you donate to my fundraiser for @qweertygamers.org , Summer of Pride 2025! Not an animal lover? How about a kazoo solo? 🥳 Or a Tarot reading?

Duolingo confirms they're going to start replacing contractors with AI Their CEO says they will become an 'AI-first' company

Less than a year after a full-throated embrace of AI, NaNoWriMo is shutting down :

Did Chappell Roan ever apologize for using AI? Or her team refusing to pay a nail artist? Man I just wanna listen to her songs again but I got standards & struggle to keep up with every controversy....

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

There is nothing wrong with many of the memetic "golden rules" of TTRPGs, but not all of them should be religiously adhered to. The number of times when I've had players refuse to split up SOLELY because you "don't split the party"... Splitting up is fine, if not encouraged, in many games!

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Hey it's the best place for end-of-the-month smokeouts, bring the hype & your beautiful selves to another sesh tonight! Come charm me & chat & spoil me with cheap garlic while we check all the clouds - live NOW cheeeers~! www.twitch.tv/audaxsmoke

The company Character Sheet Online (CSO), a virtual table top/character sheet tool/digital dice roller, did a partnership with an AI creator in 2023. When I pointed this out, they called me a liar, denying the truth they later revealed to me in an e-mail. imgur.com/gallery/proo...

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
